Believe that he can strong arm trying to into these commitments as he has preemptively promised farmers a 3rd ag bailout package and as Global Markets sink friday on fears of corona outbreak spreading lets take a look at the Positive Side of this with more than 76000 confirmed cases worldwide only 2247 deaths have been reported as of friday the overall death rate from c. D. C. Study is about 2. 3 percent which is much higher than the death rate of the flu which is around point one percent in the u. S. But it is much less deadly than sawyers which had a mortality rate of 9. 6 percent china report says 7862 patients have made full recovery since the outbreak began and this number will continue to improve as researchers develop new Combination Therapies to treat the virus kristie its very important to know here that this is something you dont hear all the time you hear about how many cases we have how many deaths we have and i guess youre just to assume that the people who didnt die have. Were covered but to see those numbers and those are almost reported daily in china correct yes they are reported daily and when right now you see the number of full recoveries being quite low but these are always the people who are reported moderate to severe symptoms who are actively in the hospital who are actively in trials there are over 80 current trials now pending between galia and a no bar to stand off the all these drug therapies now are used in combination to try to develop a vaccine to contain the contagion and the spread however all the people who have moderate to very low sometimes the doctors actually recommend them to quarantine themselves at home and your human body can actually combat the virus itself and many people have actually made full recoveries that way and also i want to move back a little bit to the trade punitive tariffs that were kind of rolling back here amid concerns what do we need to know about that and how is that going to help the economy of china well they feel it does have were already agreed upon the both china and the u. S. Simultaneously roll back you know the parents over the course of this year under phase one china is however doing this a lot sooner than expected in part is because they are trying to reduce the cost to importers and make export of goods a lot cheaper in the domestic economy and this is really important as the government is trying to continuously stimulate production in the economy right now and were also seeing in this is you know theyre rolling these back to kind of help the economy to help these businesses work in china now i dont know i mean obviously im not saying this is going to happen but say you know at the end of the flu season its like sars it kind of just eradicate itself on its own and the crow virus is no longer an issue so maybe lets say by mid may almost when were done with quarantines and everything how much is going to take for the chinese economy to actually recover after this is going to take a significant effort because that will mean about one and a half quarters a product of the almost lost and as we said in the study the yesterday that that will basically equip the equipment to the American TireAmerican Workforce taking a 2 month vacation that the amount of productivity loss across. All of china and thats tremendous and what that represents by year end global g. D. P. Will not be the same it will not be no where near estimates and the cause for concern is because we have expected this continuous pace of production and if we dont get that pace of china does not continuously become the developing economy we expect them to be to be the Global Growth driver then we can expect to see a little slump a little downturn and perhaps even the 1st hint of a recession and will definitely keep an eye on this and to cover this in depth here and to bust for sure. And the coronavirus is taking a toll on the Auto Industry in china sales fell by 92 percent in the 1st half of february now according to the China Passenger Car Association many Car Dealerships in the nation have been closed while much of the population stays home as christy just mentioned to prevent the spread of the virus now china is the worlds biggest car Market Selling more than 21000000 vehicles in 21000 illo dealerships have restarted opening their doors this month and the trade organization hopes for increased sales throughout the rest of february as car sales have struggled so too has the production of vehicles in china due to the virus. And for more on that were going to bring in lauren fix the car coach and shes going to break this down and other news has auto related headlines today thank you so much for joining us lauren now china has already witnessed a decline in vehicle sales due to a slight economic slowdown in the country as well as the trade war with the u. S. So how concerned should we be about this 92 percent slump in what is essentially 2 weeks of february. Well thats huge because theyre actually down 54 percent in sales so far for the whole year so that impact is going to affect the economy of not just auto manufacturers but the economy of china and theyre already down in sales it was predicted to be 2 percent but having this happen the timing was not good and its going to definitely impact automotive suppliers as well as automotive manufacturers now the chinese automaker geely has launched a service to allow customers to buy vehicles online in a time to boost sales and have them delivered to their homes so as buyers continue to refuse to go to showrooms due to the quota virus weve also seen b. M. W. And mercedes heavily promoting vehicles online as well during this Health Crisis so do you see online sales boosting the Chinese Market and frankly do you see this becoming more and more of the norm of the Auto Industry. But i think this might be the cause of the trigger that makes Automotive Online buying more popular i mean obviously those people that are home who are quarantined are not going to be able to go on test drive cars are not going to be able to purchase cars and theyre not making money in order to buy those cars so thats part of the problem but having line buying is really smart i know Mercedes Benz and b. M. W. And tussles been doing it for a long time but now that gailey is doing that with volvo all this is a great way to get people to do something why theyre sitting at home what are they doing there on line and this would give them a chance to think about when i get back to work i can purchase this car theyll bring the car to me i can drive it and it takes away from the Dealer Experience but were starting to see that here in the u. S. As well not to get too much of this is going to get back to. The Auto Industry but would you say that were seeing a little bit more of this in the us i mean you know i think it took people a long time to understand that when you purchase anything you dont have to see it you dont have to feel it were going to move that way and vehicles as well. Well in the big thing i always recommend people you must test drive a vehicle before you buy it i mean youre going to live with it more than its going to be a month its like a pair of shoes where if you dont like it you can return them this is going to be some year to keep for 3 years or longer and chai. Their culture is to keep it for the long term so i always tell people you should test drive a vehicle i know that varun car gurus and theres a whole bunch of other ones that are out there are bringing cars to consumers and consumers are getting this experience and taking it away from the dealer however if you need a repair you have to start creating a relationship with your local dealer i always recommend to go in the dealer or at least meet the people at some point during the process all right sorry for that aside there lets go lets lets go back ok we got a no knowledge is power germanys dialers also shared concerns over the Coronavirus Impact that could not only hurt sales but also production in the overall supply chain now how concerned are these automakers overall about this affecting their business i mean were seeing it for basically all automated factories right now because china is so important in the supply chain where theres not much of an impact on honda and toyota but most manufacturers are seeing some sort of impact whether it be at a screen or an interface or wiring harness or something thats made in china no ones not getting impacted by this in any way shape or form sometimes you can find a back up supplier i know that in for b. M. W. Theyre putting 2000000000 dollars into a battery factory because they dont want to be reliant on china and youre starting to see them pull away so this could impact china down the road especially when theyre looking at their overall economy when people are saying were going to look at other suppliers whether come from india or thailand or where that might be so i think youre going to start seeing more of that looking for that back up supplier in case the sever happens again you have to protect your brand because you cant build a car with 99 percent of the parts now japans ministry of economy trade and industry announced thursday that it has a stab at a new task force to address the biases impact on the Auto Industry so how bad are japanese automakers be hit by all of this and what can we expect from the task force. Well the name of the group is the new Coronavirus Countermeasures Automobile Council which is a tongue twister but what theyre trying to do is make sure that all the manufacturers that are producing products in japan are at least aware of coming other suppliers that might be able to fulfill that need i know that right now toyota and honda are not being impacted but we may not impact them today it may start impacting these people down the road because if they have been working for a long time and youve got a 6 or 8 week lead time you wont see it at 6 or 8 weeks down the road once they get back to work so they have to come start looking for other suppliers with the be from mexico or other countries. And i have one more for you today i gave you a bevy of stories but this one is the red meat going fix story well go back to china for just a moment bloomberg has reported that beijing is looking to possibly extend subsidiary subsidies for purchases of eveys beyond 2020 after china had its 1st annual decline in new Energy Vehicles last year what do you see going on here well right now theyre saying 54 percent decline in sales which is quite dramatic and that was certainly not the goal when they wanted to go all electric and i know part of their being green they thought this was a wise idea but people are not buying it without the incentive which is equivalent to about 8700. 00 and it was supposed to go for 4 years well the big decline says to them were going to have to go and go back to that incentive now with the virus in place and people not working time gets back to work and start it starts making money they may or may not consider an electric vehicle i know that tussle and does rely on that help but we may not see exactly what their goal is i know that china tends to be very aggressive when they make decisions but theyre not realizing theyre have the power for the grid theyre Building Nuclear power plants as quickly as they can so sometimes they put the cart before the horse the always and so below and fix the car coached thank you. Thank you. Virus continues to spread fears across the Global Markets lets see how we ended up starting off in moscow the moet says as russia has proposed new terms for future oil supplies to belarus to partially compensate for the cost of taxes introduced last year now over in shanghai the composite jumped to a one month high on p.

So you so much kristie starting in Europe Markets are down across the board and were going to start with the cac in paris that we started looking positive before dropping off at the end of the coronaviruses impact was still the main catalyst here one of the biggest losers was auto manufacturer know who lost 3 percent on friday alone which can be attributed to a supply chain issues due to the virus as well as a french probe into base use of funds now the dax in germany is also following a similar trend here looked like it was going to be even all week and then took a bit of a dive on friday losing nearly one percent the biggest losers in germany were in adidas who are hurting because of travel and supply chain issues respectively due to the virus the footsie in london it is in the same boat here so so just know that it almost rebounded to even on friday but luxury brand Burberry Group had a terrible week probably more than 2 and a half percent on friday alone and that was due to their reliance on sales in china and theyve seen that throughout the markets now moving stu south america in brazil the best but also down on the weak falling by a percent and a half on friday miner barely missed quarterly profits and fell nearly 4 percent at the end of the week hurting that market as well you know heading north the b.

Welcome back biohacking has become increasingly popular and is constantly evolving since the start in Silicon Valley over a decade ago it can relate to a various number of upgrades made to the body and brain whether its through fasting intermittently which has become a fad lately or like those i was in or a former nasa employee who injects himself with d. N. A. Using Gene Technology crisper or just people who have chips implanted into their hands well these are all forms of biohacking theres a range of bio hackers around the world from actual scientists with ph d. s others whove gone to medical school and some of those who are simply amateurs even tattoo artists although its been quickly growing globally it appears russia is catching on to the Global Movement with a growing number of russians interested in upgrading their bodies using the technology and we want to have a conversation about this so for more on this were going to just respond to sara much as they ok and boom bust cohost investigative journalist ben swan thank you everybody for being here now of course sara i want to start with you today because you are the one who actually has been doing the research on this story so what is going on in russia and how is it picking up there well russia has been the most recent country to pick up with the looking at looks like over 1000 russians have been checked as of late now it goes back to how chips are being used around the world right so its. Start cars to turn on Smartphones Computers and printers moderating body temperatures and store medical information or business cards like were seeing in sweden where you have the chip inserted into your hand and youre able to scan cash out with kind of moving toward a Cashless Society and even some professional magicians who are now using them to enhance some of their tricks but russia is now catching on kind of with trying to really concentrate on how to stop the process of aging theyre looking at how to interfere with the genetic aging process with these chips by monitoring a lot doing its heavy exercises and a lot of them even taking a lot of vitamins and putting things into their body where theyre trying to prevent it now so far there is no actual effect to this and they dont have a system for it but thats exactly kind of what theyre looking for where they want longevity now this is a great piece of technology but when i was discussing this with my friends in Silicon Valley in the baltic region everything i was actually concerned about the security and privacy aspect of it and so i was like arent you scared about this is a huge invasion of privacy dont you think their response to me was what can they collect that isnt collected already in your phone that you carry everywhere your location where your lifes dislikes preferences your Shopping Habits everything is already collected basically on your mobile phone so ben what can you tell us about this from a privacy and security aspect. Well i think it what it really comes down to is who controls the actual chip right so this is part of the debate thats going on right now in terms of biohacking and thats a very broad umbrella discussion here but in terms of people using it the way sarah was describing right now you know you have a chip in your hand you use it to swipe access to your apartment you use it for your gym membership you might use it as payment. If thats ultimately what the idea is you know the way that theyre using it in sweden kristie you and i actually talked to the guy out there whos created a lot of this. Reason the way theyre using it there is that the user is actually the root of this and has complete control over what information is there and how its shared the problem is that when we talk about governments and surveillance governments dont want you to be the root of anything they want to have control that employers want to have control and access and they want to use biohacking as a way of tracking and monitoring so it comes down to kind of a fundamental debate about who is going to be the one in control of those chips when theyre implanted in somebodys hand or somebody is body and thats what i think the debate is right now and governments are always going to once again control and big tech is going to want to do that and thats the other important point here you know when we talk about governments as you guys know russia china theres all kinds of talk about kind of these overlords in government that want to control privacy and security in the United States its less the government and its more big attack on behalf of the government and in cooperation with the government so thats where i think the kind of the fight is right now it is but in the in the article of the rip the russian who actually did he used a subway metro check to begin with and then he hacked it to actually record his Bank Information so you can access his bank account as you previously mentioned and it sounded great and and he was able to do that until the Bank Actually shut the access down so it looks like as you said the government actually werent too happy when he tried to take control farm self in that respect and these chips are really ranged from i think a number of things from in terms of money and costs like you have some that cost thousands of dollars like these new ones in russia that are in the theyre monitoring these peoples bodies here about 2000 a month i think if you want more more like maybe weekly its about 5 grand or something to that extent but then there are the other chip makers who are amateurs who are getting buying these chips from taiwan for 5 bucks 5 dollars so i think it comes from a range of things and some people who then have the expertise versus those who have no idea what theyre doing. Is better was actually talked about we had a joint. From bio. Out of i believe denmark is where he was from and he kind of talked about this exact situation and he kind of made those same points but his were were more or less hackable in that situation because what they actually were was mostly like the way you would use almost a key card nothing could be changed on it it just had a number and then that number correlated to Something Else so when you swiped it say to get in the door there wasnt a thing you could change like your personal banking it or information like that and i wanted to hit on to another point and we could bring ben back into this as well is that you know were talking about life long jeopardy as part of the bio hacks discussion now number one i think that hack is sometimes a little bit mis appropriately used because what were really talking about is dieting but ben what do you make of that that type of access where theyre trying to extend their life with with all sorts of things that are actually outside of the technological realm. Thats the other part we see theres a big umbrella here so they quickly thats the other part of this discussion is this transhumanist discussion where you ultimately want to use Chips Technology to ultimately extend somebody like to give them greater abilities in terms of eyesight in terms of brain power in terms of their ability to run and jump all those things could be essentially affected by the way that we act as humans as we go through this process of being hacked over time but that is the present in some ways and its also the future i think of that whole idea of how to train your body like a computer almost like engineering it to these things Like Software is thats pretty interesting absolutely and theres a lot to discuss here correspondence or much as the ok investigative but general as cohost of blue bus and so on thank you so much for your time thank you. And finally christie imagine it for yourself if you come home from work after a long day maybe a long week like this week simply looking to relax maybe you light a candle what scent puts you at ease the most is it lavender citrus maybe vanilla but what if i offered you cents like sesame seed bun one huh. 100 percent ground beef onions ketchup cheese and pickles thats right the Worlds Largest fast food chain mcdonalds is making a 6 pack of candles that smell like your favorite quarter pounder ingredients the caymans were created to celebrate the sandwiches 50th Year Anniversary and will be available on mcdonalds fanclub website very soon now oddly Scented Candles are nothing new a Company Called the Stinky Candle Company sells things like chlorine clean puppy and even straight up garlic and the yankee Candle Company which sells many candles has things like whiskers on kittens and man town Scented Candle which smells like a man cave independent creators christie theyre even doing things like pizza and beer get him on etsy maybe what both of those and you can smell like a bar of some sort and of course we all remember going to founder and creator of who valued at over a 1000000000. 00 company didnt you create a candle recently that smelled like her favorite part yeah she did and thats thats thats an oddly Scented Candle thats for sure i was making your entire poem smell like a fast food drive thats for sure that by this time the most on the man on the brand new portable t.

We have Julian Assange in solitary confinement in the prison for terrorists away to the house alive in person the person. I dont want to see him die in prison. And i think thats what hes facing. Were still in an era of resource colonialism again this is a big risk and the one big thing that could really inhibit the kind of electric vehicle revolution that a lot of us want to see is if we cant resource the battery components in a sustainable ethical way then its not going to be a successful revolution.
