Either thanks for joining us this is r. T. International. Premier summoned an emergency meeting with ministers as protesters shut down king rail routes across the country rapidly escalating rallies to stop a vast propose gas pipeline over Indigenous Territory donald quarter explains. Railways out of Commission Reports a backlog marches on the streets transportation across canada has been shut down by protests over a near 700 kilometer long gas pipeline and judging by the most recent actions there seems to be little hope for a swift resolution. To the. I i. At 1st a number of Indigenous Councils came to an agreement with the Company Coastal gas link to build a 6600000000. 00 gas pipeline that would run through Indigenous Lands but the chiefs of a small 1st nation called the what sue wetton tribe came out against its construction and for that they were raided by the police but the Police Action seems to have backfired the white Sweat Movement not long after spread like wildfire across the country their blockades of canadas railways have begun to shut down Trans National Freight Movement Prime Minister Justin Trudeau knows hes got a problem on his hands one that he thinks will be solved through dialogue we are a country that recognizes the right to protest but we own the country of the rule of law and we will ensure that everything is done to resolve this through dialogue and constructive outcomes it doesnt take much for a problem like this to become a crisis though and trudeau probably knows that since he recently canceled a visit with caribbean leaders to convene an emergency meeting about the protests and. Stead but this is just one page in canadas difficult history dealing with 1st nation reservations the gas company says the pipeline is safe and environmentally friendly but much of the native population and their supporters arent buying it what theyre saying is they have agreements with 20 indian i am council and 5 of the 6 which suit graham councils have signed onto agreements which they wouldnt have never signed a treaty with canada. They have an aboriginal title indigenous title to their land and they dont operate under the indian act there are there are already traditional government system there salmon bearing streams and other pristine force and not that this pipeline would go through that theyre objecting to which is why they proposed an alternative route really it is. An issue about corporate interests trumping indigenous rights in canada i mean coastal gas link the west so it and as i understand it had proposed an alternative route for the pipeline the company said no because of the Economic Issues associated with changing the route but i think its going to cost them more money if they continue the conflict and dont get a. Lawyer and journalist to me to discover says that shutting down the pipeline is the only way for the canadian establishment to respect indigenous rights as it claims to do. These protests this is actually quite unusual by canadian standards when they begin to have an impact on the economic interests of Large Businesses in this country then thats an escalation of the fight that the Prime Minister is forced to deal with its very hard to see where theres a resolution here because frankly the only resolution that respects truly respects the rights of Indigenous People is to put a stop to that pipeline project this is unseated territory the hereditary chiefs of the whats working people have not consented to this project and that is rightly given the historical abuses that have been horrible abuses that have been visited upon Indigenous Peoples in this country i think you know were hearing a lot of lip service as we have for many years from the Corporate Community in this country about their commitment to human rights environment but the reality is radically inconsistent with their rhetoric and its time for us to recognize that at the governmental level. And its not just fossil fuel companies that are facing increased scrutiny over their social impact and german court has ordered test so clearing forest land for its 1st european vehicle Vehicle Production site despite the electric car giant promising to replant today with 3 times the factory plot near led is a victory for protesting the war in modern supposedly Green Companies are far from what they claim to be. Anyone whos considering lawsuits go back inside you know paralyzed germany as an industrial location. Youre not allowed to cut trees you know that scale until you have permission to this forest land to industrial factory use and that seems to be whats whats you know whats happened here that these trees will come Big Companies love to talk about being environmentally friendly because its very good p. R. Because they know thats what ordinary people and their customers like to hear and its instances like this where you can find out whats behind those great its you know when the deeds are quite different that it turns out that oh that company perhaps is not really so if its the frenchies perhaps not really interested in these issues. To states in africa in a bid to win back business from china whose companies are dominating the continents but my pump is kind speech is stunning stuff. To washingtons these interactions in the region is more. Like pomp a. O. Is on a goodwill tour of the african continent trying to convince nations that they have no better friend than the good old us of a shift in American History that we will be by your side get a Good Relationship with 2000000000. 00 its with natural gas. To defend america and this is for sure. Sure this will bring our meeting i congratulated both the president and the foreign minister on the newly discovered Energy Reserves off the coast american firms like Cosmos Energy health years are all helping to develop these resources so that they benefit the senate senegalese people not foreign actors peo has been the u. S. Secretary of state for some time however his interest in africa seems to be quite new but perhaps thats because his trip to africa isnt really about africa its about competing with china its tempting to accept easy money from places like china. But what good is it if it feeds corruption and undermines your rule of law but that ship has sailed china is already very well in bedded in africa its the continents largest trading partner not to mention the fact that beijing has been splashing cash on to development. Furthermore might pompei it was timing seems to be a little bit off the travel ban has just been expanded to include several african countries so youre not welcome in america but me sure to give u. S. Officials a hearty welcome not the most winning message. The government expresses its dismay at this unfriendly acts which runs counter to the administrations pronounced policy of constructive engagement to address past wrongs with west africa struggling to protect itself from terrorist groups the usa may have sealed its alliance with military aid however that military aid is being scaled back the usa is also reducing other support in the region. We have spoken with the us about the need for that presence in the area we hope that the americans will continue to help us in Security Training and intelligence. Also do you remember a certain leader who referred to african countries with some rather profane words well theres still no apology on that there are 54 countries that make up the continent of africa 54 places president from considers to be countries as opposed to describe some immigrants coming from africa as coming from countries denies using such derogatory language and democratic senator who sat next to mr trump in the meetings insists that the president repeatedly used the word to describe the countries now behind all the lights cameras handshakes and photo ops mike pompei oh really wants africans to believe that america is their best friend especially if theyre trying to get close to china but i think. Clearly quite concerned just like the United States are concerned that the chinese have taken a massive lead across the african continent for now as far as i know the chinese have already got hold in africa i think of mistrust the chinese worked with the chinese if you read the chinese and told access these access levels it was not because i because were fearful of the chinese or of the dross that its because of because believe that they wanted to choose their own destiny and chose a park which was not the United States for once the u. S. Was the you. Is trying to counter that for the u. S. To want to compete with that right now im afraid theyre 10 years too late. The death toll from the corona virus has now reached more than 1700. 00 people including 3 victims outside of chain china but beijing has condemned the rise of conspiracy theories over the outbreak us politicians including senator tom cotton suggested that the virus started in a chinese biological Weapons Laboratory we also know that just a few miles away from the food market is chinas only bio safety level 4 Super Laboratory bed and research of human Infectious Diseases we have lived system away about this virus from the beginning so we should not take their words at face value its very harmful its very dangerous to stir up suspicion rumors and spread them among the people for one thing this will create panic another says that it will offend. Racial discrimination as you know for being or this in. Chinas handling of the coronaVirus Outbreak has been widely criticised in western media some outlets have accused beijing of falsifying data and covering up the scale of the crisis in the w h o rs said unfounded rumors are making it harder to deal with the outbreak the 2900. Responses being accompanied by a massive info demick an overabundance of information some accurate and some not that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it going too far my gut reaction to the story from human rights lawyer daniel political scientist back knowing one. Dr wong can i just start with you what do you make of these latest claims particularly from the us senator cotton that this virus may have emanated originated from a laboratory in which is the right to suggest this is one possibility i think was peace all occasions and suggestion in the making is basically trying to break the outbreak of the corn the virus to Chinese People in china and if you look at these claims and these articles from carefully up to now in the scientific circle we still do not have such a 100 percent of the to suggest that that these why rose is indeed coming from any wildlife any more number one and number 2 we still dont have and if the evidence to substantiate that these spyros is a leak from. The or viral down i noticed to particular with this story which been following very closely at the start the narrative is very positive towards china look theyve come out theyve taken draconian measures this is what is needed but i am sensing perhaps things are changing now and people are accusing china of covering things up without actually explicitly showing any evidence and also suggesting you know they could have been the ones responsible for this virus i just wonder from your perspective gee think that this is now being politicized quite a lot i do think its being politicized its not only politicized in the sense that theres criticisms of the Chinese Government but the Chinese People themselves which makes absolutely no sense but its part of this yellow scare there is you know frankly has been underneath the surface in the u. S. For a long time but now is really bubbling to the surface because of this crisis and i think that the government of the u. S. In the media have some responsibility for their economically. Or in the one chinas economy. Is going to war. For a slowdown and one more tool it brings far more uncertainty to grow bored. He called on me in the coming months and since we do not know when this all prick who eventually disappear and then we eat it also a. Fact of him so 22 to go by economy you know this could really impact. The World Economy could affect the Gross Domestic Product of many countries certainly it will affect chinas but certainly many others that trade with china you know it could even have an impact on the u. S. On the u. S. Stock market and again on the u. S. Gross domestic product well have to see you know how that turns out. Some politicians promote conspiracies on the virus businesses are making a questionable profit off the back of the outbreak details coming. You know beneath our station or the kind of good intentions of architecture. And crescent and maybe even 40 years ago there was simply evaporate to the north sea at the compressor will supply have. Joined me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see that. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or somehow want to. Have to go to beatrice its like that before 3 in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of my house. Or sit in a. Steerer of the corona Virus Outbreak continues online retailers are hoping to make money from the crisis shut he admits he has the details. As the vald runs out of face masks Hand Sanitizer sells like hot cakes and antibacterial wipes fly off the shelves online retailers even amazon are finding other ways to cash in on the deadly coronavirus not by upping the price of those essential oh no but by floating in a time a new line of coronavirus inspired products topping the list of these t. Shirts both retailers have an extensive selection such as i survived corona 2020 and straight out of one hand backoff and also coronavirus made in china i will subtle end though both sites also have mugs to sell complete with the scientific molecular makeup of the virus presumably so youll know what to account for and no rain just complete without a few Miscellaneous Items like a framed poster warning of the infection zone while making the link with the bearer of a similar name a brand which also thought it was necessary to state the obvious that theres no link between the virus and the beverage in response to the sale of t. Shirts breeches disaster in charge of the policy despite the merchandise still being on sale while amazon has so far declined to comment to be fair though Neither Company makes the products but both do take a sizeable cut of the sales and it also begs the question whos buying them but us companies rake in the cash the virus continues to spread it could be they use the money for Charitable Ventures like helping contain it or Funding Research into the outbreak but dont bank on it.
