In paris demonstration was held to demand that the French Justice system finally release leftist and antiimperialist global hero George Ibrahim abdullah. Abdullah keeps expecting the 10th rejection of his request for release, which was granted by a parole board in 2013. However, paris, along with washington and tel aviv, seem intent on keeping europes longest serving political prisoner in prison. Lui il voulait pas. George doesnt really want to make this continued request for his release as he doesnt expect our government to extend him democracy or human rights. However, their continued refusal of his deserved liberation only reveals the injustice of his treatment and their hypocrisy. Abdullah has never recanted his support for palestine. At 72 years old, he remains a deeply committed activist, modal prisoner, the subject of an obvious Blackout Campaign by western mainstream media. En place, im very surprised that there is other media, but then again they dont give attend to anyone who opposes the statical systems of capitalism and imperialism, so its truly up to us to do the work of reaching out to people with our truthful message.

Its true that there are powerful western political, military and financial powers totally opposed to george abdullah, but we must keep making the world aware of this injustice. West and their allies continue to be criticized for their mistreatment of Political Prisoners from abdullah, to julian sange to 500 palestinians currently held in israeli.

We early discussed the wave of walkouts and it roots in our news review program. Lets take a look. Timed out for the news review of this bulletin. In the United States, the main Workers Union might announce an expansion is historic strike. Against the top three Car Manufacturers if there is no progress in talks over new labor contract. Us media reports the union will announce new targets for the strike on friday, if it concludes that it has not made enough progress. Its members will join the strike at noon friday.

As thousands of workers in various industies off the job this year from Hollywood Screen riders and actors to nurses, hotel staff and pilots. Experts blaming income inequality, especially at prices in the flagging us economy, among other reasons. Charles simons professor of human rights, mary garva college, joins us from detroit, we have john professor of finance at babson college, wellsly mas us on the phone, welcome to you both, let me first start with you, you know, when you take a look at this autoworker strike, its not just about pay, i mean it is, but there are so many different facets to in terms of whos asking for the pay increase, if you give us a brief synopsis of what this all about really, so we can get an idea, thank you for inviting me, um, let me say that much of the reporting about labor issues, what . The get economic report generally uh from business perspective, it doesnt give the history of the conditions of workers, and the the Economic Conditions and actually the physical conditions of workers in the country. For instance, they the business reports generally report the condition of the health of the stock market, but but less than 10 of the population in the United States own stocks, so so much of that reporting isnt isnt even relevant to uh people working in middle classes. Um, i want to go back into some history, since 1970 theres been a uh, the wages have been stagnant, so we talking about 50 years, the wages have been stagnant throughout the United States and the real wages have decreased compared to the cost of living over the past 50 years, and so what uh, what happened in in mids of continuing rising prices, workers have gotten into deep debt, mean though. Were in a consumery, many of much of the working classes and middle classes are deep personal debt. Okay so i want to go back to uh as far back as our guess there charles uh went, i was going to look and ask you at this point what happened in 2018 when the financial crisis hit and you had these big three being bailed out by the government, i think the um other workers did the united workers to the union um did a favor for Car Companies if im correct in my uh facts here. That uh they werent going to get the same pay as the older or the ones that uh were there before the 28 financial crisis until things got going in a matter of speaking, but uh yet they have waited this long uh and now theyre striking because they see you know were were left behind isnt that one of the reasons here and uh of course it is it is one of the immediate reasonly is okay and john edmons before you continue and you now whats amazing is that these Companies Got held out by the government so uh why are the ceos as i guess there um charles mentioned getting the pay increases and not the workers ultimately uh since the government was responsible for bailing out these companies, at least they should Pay Attention to the workers. Go ahead. Well, i think we should talk about the general disparity of the uh top stratum versus the what used to be called the middle class, now you could call it maybe the lower middle class, and the other problem that that that is beligiring the. Automobile business is they dont really need as many people as they used to need, so uh, im im very glad that the other person is from detroit can verify the population of detroit got a peak in like 1979 and then declined pretty much steadily and then was doing a minimal rebound, but you cant really rebound since they didnt need to take back as many people when the the recovery came and then you do mention 2008 2009 when the automobile uh companies were um so close to bankrupty that fords bonds almost got downgraded to junk category and it was only through political intervention that the rating agencies did not download them to junk categories so its an Old Technology capital intensive industry which was also intensive but now is skill intensive john edmons professor of finance at bapson college melsly mass Charles Simmons emiratus professor of human rights Mary Grove College from detroit thank you to you both thank you with that we come to an end for this edition the new after the longest river in the world, its now become the largest Ecommerce Company on the planet.

Productor so once we know that or any some other nanomaterial so we want to know what are the properties of that system so that if we put that material in a device what type of Electronic Device it can create they can make cubits new type of cubits you can make new type of computers and these new type of computers could be much more billions times powerful than the existing. This is really so what we are our research in some way is planting the seeds for Technology Say 50 years down the line. There was another math professor next building, this is mariam mirzakani, that also inspired me to look more into intellectual history of persian lineage, so i was amazing. To find all these uh the islamic golden age that happened in the middle ages, people like ibn sina and albirini and number of scientists, astronomers and engineers and scholars in general, this is not a government level award, this is based on private endown, so i think this is amazing, this prize has recognized a number of individuals so far, they are really contributing to the human civilization in a broad context is a happy surprise, but yeah, i was not this was happening, you top stories on press the.
