Done this right and we really we really have done this right the problem is the press doesnt cover it the way it should be but i guess im doing ok because to the best of minutes from the president of the United States despite the things that are so. Also coming up a reversal of roles some whites when a former president helps his former Vice President in his efforts to be a future president and thats why im so proud to endorse joe biden for prez of the United States choosing joy to be my Vice President was one of the best decisions i ever made and it became a close friend and i believe joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now. But to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day. With a tale of 3 president s a former president a current one and a possible future president and 1st up the current president somewhat confused u. S. President donald trump i say confused because that explains the faults message that came from trump last night during a White House Press briefing trunk found himself having to defend his actions or the lack thereof from earlier this year as the coronavirus began claiming lives in the United States in an angry tirade complete with a propaganda video and attacks on the media trumped incorrectly bickley or that he has total authority to decide when to reopen the u. S. Economy let me just put it very simply the president of the United States has the authority to do what the president has the authority do which is very powerful the president of the United States calls the shots when somebody is the president of the United States the authority is total and thats the its got to be. All right total authority but its totally not true let me pull in tyson barker deputy executive director of the think tank Aspen Institute germany tyson also worked at the u. S. State Department Tyson welcome back to the day the veteran white house correspondents say what happened yesterday was unprecedented many are describing it as the emperors new clothes what did you think when you saw the press briefing. Well i mean these are kind of i dont know i think theyre meant to be to elicit that kind of emotion thats the point these are extemporaneous rally like events theyre not based on fact theyre totally emotive. Its mainly meant to rally the base and to upset the opposition and what were seeing right now is this fault line in the United States around when to open up the economy again where many People Experts many governors are saying we have to wait and the president and many in his base and many republicans in congress are saying this is the lesser of 2 evils open the economy now were dying by economic stagnation economic depression and thats worse than the virus itself i want to talk about opening a reopening of the economy in just a moment president trub he also used the briefing last night to air a tax payer funded video praising his own handling of the pandemic and he slammed his critics at the same time you could say that this video was propaganda youll notice that trump was pleased with what he saw all taken. And theyve thus far been doing everything that they can do and i want to say thank you and i want to say that i appreciated the returns calls reaches out hes been proactive because he sent it down here 2000 medical never seen a video like that playing in this room and give you hundreds of clips just like that we have them. We did what this to go on too long but i just want to say its you know its very sad that people write false stories like in that case i guess it was gotten mostly from the New York Times which is a highly its i mean if you had libel laws they would have been out of business even before theyll end up going out of business you know just to be clear the u. S. Does have a very rigorous system of libel and slander laws so we want to correct that tyson what do you say about the video that was shown gamin the 1st time propaganda has been sold as policy at the white house. Well its a complete merger of you know the Campaign Mode in the administration and obviously he is a political being all president s are elected theyre all political but this is the kind of stuff that you would expect from a super pac or a pac or the campaign itself and not from the white house and and that that the learning of the lines between the political and the policy has been just defining for this presidency its much more acute now because were in the midst of a crisis where all eyes are really on what the administration is doing but this question about the delta between you know early. Attempts to lock down and on and what happened with the president s primetime speech you know why werent they right ramping up infrastructure why werent they doing the testing why did it take so long to invoke the defense production act all these questions are real questions and they need to be asked now because in order to get right right the ship these things need to be he does administrator need to be held accountable and thats what the press is really trying to do and this is also a belt who has the authority to order walk downs and to lift those lockdowns the president says he does us governors we know have the real power today you tweeted that we used to see a your used to have a 2 speed europe now we have a 2 speed United States what do you mean. Well i mean there was always this sense in europe in the European Union that there were some states that wanted to go faster with the european project and others that were a little slower and one of their parag its as sovereign states was to choose the speed at which they wanted to integrate in the United States now were having almost the reverse take place a kind of sin critical United States where some states are saying are basically putting on the brakes the federal government saying if you try to force us to open up were going to we have the authority in this area we have control the hospitals we have control of the schools we have control of our interstates and were going to make sure that this isnt isnt happening and clearly that irked the president because he reacted so emotionally by saying he had absolutely no already in this matter touch let me just ask you before her time barack obama today he endorsed joe biden a good call doesnt even matter i think it matters immensely i mean. Joe bidens entire candidacy is built on the back of his time essentially serving as the number 2 for barack obama he is victory which was done exclusively on the support of africanamericans in states like South Carolina is really a referendum on the Obama Presidency among democratic voters so obama coming out and saying this is my guy. Bernie sanders ran an amazing race Bernie Sanders also gave a pretty enthusiastic endorsement of joe biden for his standards it was a real unifying moment for the Democratic Party. Barker with us minister to germany as always tyson we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you. Former u. S. President barack obama is one of the most popular political figures in the world with 4 years out of office his voice still carries weight his opinions they still matter to many people especially to the man who used to be his Vice President joe biden today obama officially endorsed by giving his support publicly to the candidate and Campaign Intent on making donald trump a one term president but if theres one thing weve learned as a country for moments of great crisis its that the spirit of looking out for one another cant be restricted to our homes or our work places or our neighborhoods or our houses of worship it holds so has to be reflected in our National Government and thats why im so proud to endorse joe biden for prez of the United States and i believe joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now hes someone whose own life has taught him how to persevere how to bounce back when youve been knocked down the obama touch to talk about that im joined tonight by a man who has worked closely with 2 former u. S. Vice president s move was a Senior Adviser to both al gore and joe biden he also serves on the white house Emergency Preparedness working group from joins me tonight from washington d. C. Welcome to the day its good to have you here on monday Bernie Sanders endorsed joe biden today barack obama indorsed joe biden which will bring in more votes in november. Well. You know i not going to hedge a bet on that but i was a betting man i would say barack obama by millions theres nothing like our beloved former president who works so closely with joe biden i appreciated the comments of your previous guests the only little thing i respectfully disagree with is that joe bidens entire candidacy is not just based on his 8 years of being the Vice President although those were an amazing 8 years that he served our nation and worked side by side with president obama but hes been in the United States senate before that for over 36 years so its a 3 or 4 decades worth of service to our nation that he brings to our country you wrote today mo bell supporters of Bernie Sanders and you wrote about their since in title meant what do you mean with that. Well lets be clear i didnt say that about all of bernie supporters i said that for those that are the naysayers who are all over the social media that these last 48 hours saying that they would never vote for joe that theyre not going to vote at all or theyre going to vote for trump you know all im saying is you know what were not going to we dont need to be wasting money and time trying to get those negative toxic type people to come over and do the right thing for our nation and elect joe biden the next president the good news is for the Biden Campaign we have a clear path to victory with many bernie supporters that want to join our family to join our movement to be progressive with us as we take our nation back if somebody doesnt want to my only point and that op ed today was simply to say weve got invest money and try to convince disenchanted republican moderates and independents and we dont need to be wasting time arguing with folks who are just never going to be ok with anything we say or do do you think biden can beat trump without massive support from Bernie Sanders voters. Oh he will have massive support of Bernie Sanders supporters i think the senator ice ice i sensed something very different yesterday and the senators endorsement was very different than the 4 years ago that delayed endorsement of Hillary Clinton but none of these are full throat does he need the does not need those Bernie Sanders voters to win in november. Oh i think we need a certain percentage of them absolutely and we want that we absolutely weve all been welcoming them we were encouraging them to come join us my only point was for those folks out there who arent going to come with us i just encourage folks lets not get into a battle with every single one of them and start fighting on social media we need to move on and talk to people who are reasonable minded who are pragmatic who understand that voting that not voting scuse me for joe biden for not voting for joe biden is voting a go against your own self and yes im going to ask you about the obama endorsement today and the timing of it did it come at the right time for joe biden. No doubt about it i admire the president for what he did i thought it was the appropriate thing for him to do he stayed out of the primary process hes the titular head of the Democratic Party until coming up these next few weeks from our presumptive nominee he will now be become the titular head of the party and you know what it was the fair and right thing for him to do he waited and it was brilliant absolutely brilliant but he waited until today when he knew that it was only joe biden left in the race and it was time for him to step up and step up he did and the impact of his indorsement today we will be felt all the way till november 3rd and months and years to come you know with thing or 2 about Emergency Preparedness at the white house. Or what happened in the truck white house would this would this pandemic disaster would it have happened under Vice President al gore or Vice President biden do you think. You know thats a fair question i want to be very very fair to the president on this part of it and that is look if this is not his bypass and no one at i know as ever said that that is not what any of us are talking about what he failed to do was plan prepare in order to prevent and once he didnt plan nor prepare he didnt prevent it and then he didnt perform to mitigate and so i fault him for those days on the golf course in february for those political rallies in february where he was calling this a democratic hoax and diminishing this saying it was a miraculously going to go away and in that time period it is a fact that we thousands of innocent american lives because of it and and so you know what no one saying you know what its his virus what we what im saying is i was on the Emergency Preparedness council i know what you should have done to start president and you did do it before we were in on time i have to ask you have joe biden wins in november will we see you in his administration. You know i would nothing nothing would be a greater honor than to serve with the Vice President when he becomes president but i dont have any intention at all 1st of all i wouldnt be presumptuous enough to think he would ask me to come back and secondly frankly im not intending to go back in i want to stay outside i feel like i can be more helpful not only to abiding administration but to people in business and around the world and im enjoying what im doing and i said ok wolf well see what you say then come january of next year move vela a former Senior Adviser to al gore were injured by so we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you. A court in florence italy has sentenced for human traffickers to long prison terms for smuggling Nigerian Women to. Lead to service sex slaves italian authorities opened the case based in part on work done by d. W. Reporters she learned of the trafficking ring in nigeria and followed the trail all the way to florence Rights Groups have praised the convictions as a rare success in the fight against sexual exploitation. Adrian krishi is one of the reporters who uncovered this trafficking ring when he was reporting from west africa he is now based in cape town in south africa. Adrian congratulations to you excellent work there tell us about the report that you coproduced back in 2016 that led to what were seeing now. Well back then brands the number of migrants was going up with were trying to go from western africa all the way to europe so we were working on a 5 part series for the w. About this issue of migration and forced migration we went to nigeria niger as well as italy we talked to a lot of victims and then of course we also wanted to talk to the human traffickers which of course turned out to be very difficult we tried that many many times it was really difficult but then when our research was almost done we were sort of lucky and we finally found a victim who was willing to talk to us about her Human Trafficking or lets have a look. In 2016 d. W. Reporters investigated along the Human Trafficking route between italy and nigeria starting in been in city when i ga and girls are recruited. And it is here that traditional priests forced them to pledge loyalty to their traffickers. The migrants then pasta the dangerous desert in niger on their way to libya. From there they crossed to italy where tens of thousands of nigerians and as prostitutes selling sex for as little as 10 euros after a Long Research one nigerian agreed to talk to us about her my down this is what they call nigerian traffickers here on the one condition she wants to remain anonymous the madame trafficked her to italy to force her into prostitution. Wish you well con do sometimes. It is so we cant let it we cant. See the way. We traced down the madame in the suburb of florence in the dark and ottomans a nigerian colleague enters 1st with a hidden camera and under false pretense and money with money. Power you do not honor. Ok he meets in oh my you go on one rare and 6 female young nigerians insides. Afterwards we confront the legit madame she denies all allegations of trafficking but constantly contradicts herself the girls she says are 10. And then they have to do prostitution to get money to live here. But will move on to more help to work outside the one loop hole big no matter what the movement so its a lie when they say that they are integrated. Even though we talked to the state prosecutor about our research who then starts to investigate and finds proof it is no lie because of the corona virus but demick she is only able to send us a written response after the conviction i would like to thank you for you invaluable cooperation in the opening of the investigation which led to the identification of the significant number of victims humanitarian organizations are taking care of the victims now it is not clear what their future will look like or if they will be allowed to stay in europe permanently but their time in slavery has come to an end. For tonights in the u. K. The numbers of new Coronavirus Infections and coronavirus deaths well they continue to rise so the risk to medical staff is greatest in the front line those intensive care units or one of those i. C. U. Physicians dr matt morgan has written a letter to u. S. President trump. He writes transparent data honest answers and brave truths are the only way to cradle real hope that things get better giving your power to the people around you the experts in truth the experts in science and the experts in health is how you 2 can save 1000000. Thank you and dr met morgan joins me tonight from cardiff in wales welcome to the day dr morgan what makes a british i. C. U. Dr pin an open letter to the u. S. President well really this was a plea not a need to the u. S. Press that the does around the world to really focus on 3 things in this crisis you know this virus doesnt care about politics but the way to combat it is the same its 1st of all have transparency and honesty that bates and columns say should secondly to devolve the power to expert scientists and those who understand the complexities and the 3rd is about supporting the poor and there is most at risk of in health the call it seems when the dust settles on this pandemic in america i hope we explore it in that support of them who will be something that comes out this what do you say to those who would ask you why didnt you write this letter to Boris Johnson or the u. K. Government. Well i think many governments around the world are already using these 3 basis as a way to combat the crisis because theres no simple answer is but there are 3 ways that we can approach the topic but without transparency without truth and without giving the palate the experts who understand the science the stern health of patients and thats not the way to go about it. Dont want to have to see you as an i. C. U. Physician you know that in this pandemic because of social distancing you because this virus is so contagious you and your colleagues many times are the way asked people that are dying patient touches for example because the relatives cant be right there at the bedside and that has to be a tremendous emotional weight for you to carry you your rights after all of the challenges of this crisis the thing is that really gets to us are you not machines all the technology all the drugs its there its aspects its the aspects if humanity which will i think stay with me as the many at this time its right you know we are now sometimes the ones hold in the hands of people and they found ways copied but its also important to know that there are people who are Getting Better i mean even the intensive care units are going home and thats really where our passion in life comes from. Well i mean its definitely something to you know be committed in the end to be admired what you are doing. What about you dr morgan what are you doing to take care of yourself when when youre not working i understand today is your day off for example and here you are doing a t. V. Interview.
