Us house representatives has approved a temporary funding bill, aimed at avoiding a government shutdown, just hours before the current funding expires. 45day resolution will keep the government offloat till midnovember. Socalled stop measure bill still needs approval of the democratic control senate before the president signs it into uh existence. That bill includes no aid for you. Ukraine in recent weeks of numerous efforts to pass spending bills in the republican controlled house were thwarted by faction of lawers demanding significant cuts including no more ukraine funding. Now if no agreement is reached a force shut down to occurre in the past decade will then take effect. Most Government Employees will be placed on unpaid leave under a shutdown government. Press tv colin camber joined us earlier from washington dc, he says the main Sticking Point in passing a permanent spending bill is the issue over ukraine aid. Well, one of the major Sticking Points is ukraine, although republicans, especially the more extremist republicans are very upset over the amount of spending in general, but it seems to be only spending when it comes to house, us households, not when it comes to corporate welfare. Or military spending, it seems to be those who collect government benefits for food or for housing or for medicine, some of those basic care packages that the Us Government gives to those who are living below the threshold of poverty or who are in serious uh economic uh constraints, so could we be back in 45 days discussing all of this, thats a very possibility, but i know that congress is at least many members of congress would rather avoid that situation. China salam the us as a true empire of lies following a state Department Report that accused beijing of information manipulation. The Chinese ForeignMinistry Said report has disregarded facts. It add agencies of the Us State Department that produced the report were source of false information and the command post of cognitive warfare. On thursday, the state department accused beijing of manipulating global. Media through censorship, data harvesting and cover purchases of foreign news outlets. It claims china has hit major setbacks when targeting democratic countries due to local media and Civil Society pushback. Report comes as beijing is accused the western media trying to portray negative image of china. Juning us out of rally North Carolina is a ray mcgovern, former cia analyst for more. Story hello mr m pleasure to check in with you hope youre safe and doing well out there in rally um your thoughts on on this back and forth were seeing with respect to uh media manipulation and distorting facts and misrepresenting facts and all this false news stuff weve heard of so much about over the past decade . This is quite ive watched for a long time theyre fighting back and they feel verent that they have the up hand, theyre being very specific and in talking about the weaving of the emperors new clothes with a web of lies, they talk about white powder, think cole and pow at the un, they talk about white helmets, think benigne forces, so to speak in syria and iraq, the chinese are being very specific and verysserbit. A way that they havent been before, and i interpret that not only as a degree of confidence, but also assurance that they have lot of people in asia backing them up. Let me see, let me cite one other thing that i found really extraordinary, the top chinese diplomat, talking to the his counterparts, his foreign secretary of south korea and and japan. And this is what he thought he could say, this is just few weeks ago, no matter how yellow you dye your hair, or how sharp you make your nose . Youll never turn into a european or an american, youll never turn into a westerner, said wang, who heads the ruling partys Foreign Affairs commission, one needs to remember where ones roots are, thats a sign of new a new recognition that the china needs to try to turn the tide on this information warfare, which this Foreign Ministry statement. Correctly points out was invented in in the good old usa, and thats the the whole gist of it isnt it, mr. Mcgovern, that us talks about uh blamed the russians during the last couple of uh elections for election interference, it um speaks up so much about misinformation from uh russian media, from Chinese Media from basically any adversarial media, but it never puts a spotlight its own media. It never puts a spotlight on how much it itself has interfered in elections throughout the world. We have an expression for that, its called the pot calling the cat. In other words, people calling out other people for doing precisely what they are doing. Some people call it projection. The bottom line on this one is that chinese have reacted in very asserbic way, as i said before, and the repeating. What the russians have been saying over the last month or so, that we have empire of lies in the united states, and when you look at the last, the last part of history, and and i refer specifically to the Mainstream Media and the cable channels, theyre far not, theyre not far off, and the real question is whether this kingdom of lies will allow enough americans to support even more escalatory measures. In ukraine, thats an open question, but i worry about that, because not many, not Many Americans are wellinformed. And thats the thing one has to ask when the us is so critical of other nations, so they refer to often as a state run media, my question to you, lets say its corporate run media in the west, is it any different . Dont they have editorial guidelines, or lot of things you want to hear reported on cnn, on fox, on msnbc, but then there was lot of things that theyll. Put just too much emphasis on, is that not skewing the truth, is that not basically fabricating the kind of narrative you want people to feed into and buy, the way it works really is the main outlets get a memo in the morning, its really case, whats good to cover, whats not good to cover, you know, this is not only true of the united states, this is true of germany, and we had one german parliamentarian who said it this way, she said, unsere erste pflicht, our first duty is not to make ourselves dumb, nicht, nicht un machen solasen, okay, it sounds better in germany, so that really is our first duty, all all too easy is it to listen to the Mainstream Media and let ourselves lassen dumm zu machen, and that really has to be countered, and i see the chinese in a very, very more forward position here saying, okay, weve had it, this is bad enough, were going to call it out for what it is, remember the white powder valve, remember the uh the white helmets, all this stuff information, you can judge for yourself who is disinforming whom . Thank you mcgover, always a pleasure to check in with you uh sir, and stay safe, mr. Ray mcgovernor joining us out of beautiful rally North Carolina, the birthplace, the best basketball player in history, my jordan, stay safe sir, byebye. Now new study has shown that britains cost of living crisis is set to cause premature deaths among thousands of people this year. Millions of britains have been hit hard by levels of inflation unseen in decades. And thats been blamed a number of reasons including the ukraine war, the covid pandemic, brexit, and the governments failed economic policies. A new study has shown that brians cost of living crisis that mainly results from the governments economic policy, is set to cause premature deaths of thousands of people this year. The results of the research were published by the Bmj Public Health journal. The study showed that the cost of living crisis and sustained period of high prices reduced Life Expectancy among the people across the country by 6. 5 this year. The predicted increase in premature deaths from baseline of 463 per 100,000 people to 493 per 100,000 equates to thousands of extra deaths a year in the uk. The study says that the most deprived households will experience four times the number of extra deaths than the wealthiest households with the poorest having to spend a large proportion of their income on energy, the cost of which has soored. Evidence shows low income is associated with poor health and that falls in income versely affect health. According to last months fairs, the uks inflation stood as. 7 . For me this conversation is about right heat. Whether i breat and it its so hard to describe what we think in real terms because its an immediate threat to your life. Although it was down from a high of 11. 1 , britans inflation still remains the highest among the Member States of the group of seven. Meanwile there are gloomy predictions about uks economic prospects a report by the washington based Peterson Institute for International Economics says that the uk economy will shrink this year and in 2024 says it drop. In gdp this year of 0. 3 would be followed by fall of 0. 2 next year. Uh, now if we look at the data that weve seen recently, obviously there can be some revisions in the gdp data, we saw quite a contraction in july, um, now we are expecting, perhaps there are some quirks in the data, that we havent seen as much industrial action recently, um, and there could be some technical issues in a rebound, but i think the outlook for the rest of this year is quite weak, we see that as youve mentioned in the pmi surveys, both. Manufacturing and services moving into contraction, the british economy is expected to shrink this year and the next, that according to a study by washington based Peterson Institute for International Economics, so the persistent inflation and shortage of workers, among other things will result in a. 3 contraction in the british growth domestic product this year. The fears that the uk is suffering from structural economic conditions. Factors related to the underlying weakness of the uk economy and the fall out from brexit would leave the uk behind while most other developed economies expand. Uk was also suffering from an unequal recovery that benefited better off households, while the bottom half of the income scale continued to be affected by falling real incomes. Persistent inflation, falling real incomes of lowincome households and a shortage of workers will result. In the drop in the countrys gross domestic product, cuts to Government Spending next year will also drag on economic growth. The Central Bank Held rates at 5. 25 at this meeting, and betting on Financial Markets showed investors expect there will be no change at the next meeting in november. The next move could be upwards, should inflation prove to be more stubborn than the Central Banks forecast predicts, despite a weakening of economic growth. I think really what were seeing is they are worried about the recession, they are worried about weaker growth and they think that perhaps going for the rest of this year, inflation is likely to continue to decelerate, so what were seeing is the lagged impact of fairly aggressive monetary tightening really starting to bite, and theyre probably thinking, right, here is a time to pause, but we dont want to get too complacent, there are still a lot of inflationary pressures ahead. The economic crisis and persistent inflation has caused trouble for the ruling tories in the uk. Prime minister rishinaks popularity has fallen to its lowest levels ever. Some 68 of britains currently have an unfavorable view the. Prime minister, the highest figure since becoming Prime Minister, while only 23 have favorable view. Truth is the floor fell in for millions of families because of their economic mayhem, the classroom ceilings collapsed because he cut vital school budgets, and now the walls of our National Security have been breached because theyve ignored repeated warnings. No one voted for these shambles, no one voted for him, so how much more damage to the. Public have to put up with before he finally finds the stomach to give them a say.
