Explains. Its too little too late for Donald Trumps ban on european visitors panic has already set in and hordes of coronavirus doomsday preppers are already raiding supermarket shelves. In the. Corona virus has already spread to well over 100 countries and territories worldwide pandemic according to the u. N. It doesnt care about your race creed or class even millionaires like tom hanks and his wife announced they have fallen ill and while chinas all but got its own coronavirus situation under control washington still putting most of the blame for everything and anything connected to the pandemic on china the one virus that began at the end of last year you called it the wound Virus Chinese Communist Party has said that this is where the virus started china has unleashed this plague on the entire world through their dishonesty and their lack of transparency and corruption and rather than using best practices this outbreak and why it was covered up youd think theyd understand that being the origin of a pandemic was out of beijings control but while washington continues to throw shade its forgotten one Crucial Point pretty much all u. S. Antibiotics vitamin c. Pills 1st aid supplies are supplied by Chinese Companies americas basically pharmaceutically dependent on china if china banned the experts of drugs the u. S. Would sink into the how of the Novel Coronavirus at the demick and thats given washington more than just the coronavirus to panic about i think its been clear for a while now that we are far too reliant on china for Domestic Production especially for essential products that we rely on and of course our medical supply chain is the. The very top of that list the corona Virus Outbreak has made clear we must combat americas supply chain vulnerabilities and dependence on china and critical sectors of our economy the Coronavirus Crisis puts into sharp focus the unacceptable dependence of the u. S. On china for critical medicines and their ingredients by American Trend has gained new traction as a result trumps trade advisories even suggesting a change in federal law that would force the feds to buy from American Companies if we have strong buy american procurement that will establish a robust base level of demand that provides the appropriate incentives for our pharmaceutical manufacturers to invest and locate domestically worried yet with all of big pharma profit making schemes in the past the outrageous lifelong cost of hiv treatment in the u. S. Spiking the prices of insulin it doesnt take an economist to wonder how the already high price of drugs might skyrocket the destruction of the supply chain is what drives the work that we have you know short many of these production of items not maybe the product itself but maybe a component of the product thats very basic and anyway come to United States to get more you know manufacture so clearly it underlines how vulnerable we are as a 1st world country you know in china to produce these basic products so while you and i see the coronavirus pandemic as a tragedy of world significance big business will try every which way to turn it into a profit making extravaganza for themselves of course whenever theres a crisis someone is always there to make some money off it come on you know now youre going to start seeing people going to be at home youre going to see netflix go up or other you know online watching platforms hulu or whatever the case might be and same thing with medications.

Large scale plagues United States charges people that.

He does in baghdad beating a path to the u. N. Security council well talk about a much more after this short break. Thats geysers financial Survival Guide liquid those that you can convert music as quite easily. To keep in mind though as a tribute to the place of. Work. Welcome back now another whistle blow is calling out the International Chemical weapons watchdog its now the full thought passing in just a matter of months costing doubt on the investigation into the alleged chemical attack in syrias doom up back in 20000 the Anonymous Employee describes an atmosphere of fear within the organization. Working in the organization has been knowing open and the cause of deep professional shame when i became aware of how a key element of the organization was and clearly continues to be mismanaged i am one of many who was stunned and frightened into silence by the reality of how the organization operates the threats of personal harm is not an illusion or else many others would have spoken out by now to all the former experts came forward to denounce to report on that the largest chemical attack in duma in syria where the organization found the government guilty of using chemical weapons against civilians the former employees said they took part in the investigation on the ground though and they claimed evidence that suggested the attack could not have been conducted as described in the report which obviously undermined its conclusions others have claimed the attack may even have been staged well the exceed w. Denies the accusations insisting there is no evidence to support those claims back in february a 3rd person came forward to accuse him the organization of attempting to smear its former employees the latest whistleblower has now strongly criticized the behavior the mistreatment of 2 highly regarded and accomplished professionals can only be described as a parent i fully support their endeavors russia is now calling on the watchdog to not be so hasty and just dismissing the claims. Of particular interest is the fact that this whistleblower unlike the other 3 whistleblowers is possibly a current employee at the o. P. C. W. Technical secretariat and is watching this unfolding mess in the hague 1st hand we hope that the mounting criticism of the technical secretariat from the people concerned over the o. P. C. W. s health will not be left on he did with 4 whistleblowers it becomes increasingly difficult for them to say that they are wrong sick senator and of course we would hope maybe even more whistleblowers would come out at this time this is a classic problem powerful entities and especially if they are lying to the u. S. Government and they think that oh were being protected by you know powerful entities so that we need to go along and you know lets just hope that there is more integrity and more the the integrity that the 4 whistleblowers have shown lets just hope that they can muster more people with that kind of integrity again to fix this organization which is really needed in the world. The middle east and news iraq says it will complain to the u. N. Security council is that u. S. Led the strike which killed 6 iraq is on friday the british and american about this have both been summoned the question in baghdad iraq says washingtons actions will have a definite effect on relations the u. S. Forming of Government Security and civilian headquarters undermines counterterrorism efforts and disrupt the agreement between iraq and the global coalition. Well the pentagon claims it was targeting the iran hezbollah militia which it accuses of carrying out a deadly rocket attack against Coalition Personnel just 2 days earlier the u. S. Has said its retaliatory strikes were aimed at taking out 5 of the paramilitary groups weapons Storage Facilities in response to this attack on an iraqi base that hosts Coalition Forces supporting the iraqi fight against isis we carried out precision defensive strikes to degrade and destroy it vance conventional weapons that have been provided to keep it contained hizbollah by their any and backers we are in iraq to support the people of iraq in their fight against isis however we always reserve the right to defend our forces whenever theyre attacked or threaten their ocular far it is those say the socalled precision strike that actually killed 3 government soldiers 2 Police Officers and a civilian and our port under construction in the city of karbala was also damaged the attacks have been met with anger in the capital. And i think i had to marvel at the about it that we condemned the attack some popular move lies ation forces sites and the rock iraq has become a war zone for internal and external wars american the run the fighting one of them threatens the bit and ultimately iraq is of the once and for victim. Schools are being settled between america and iran and it is happening now soil it violates also rinty it while its our rights we are calling for the United Nations to intervene. But. I am surprised that the government is ignoring such actions as you condemn both sides iran and america their actions violate iraqs sovereignty which has become a joke among countries in the region and around the world. Dr Ahmed Rushdie is a Foreign Policy advisor to Iraqs Parliament and he told us that this ongoing u. S. Military presence is proving to be extremely harmful for his country. Its ties the so what here for iraq its also a job or ties the life of iraqis but does not forget the american attacks actually killed iraqis just civilians and policeman so i think that the iraqis always are the victims i dont think the americans will withdraw it will not happen by themselves what the actually they paid trillions of dollars since 2003 its its not its my thought is that there is no sense of withdraw from iraq without getting anything from iraq it can be happen if the iraqi political blocs and the iraqi People United together and say to to iran and to the United States ok thats it we will not accept you when you are destroying our country you are killing our civilians so of that way i think only on that way we can change the situation in iraq. Well its hard to europe because in whats described as frances worst of child sex abuse scandal a retired sergeants gone on trial accused of abusing hundreds of children many alleged victims have come forward including the doctors own 2 nieces. I think when he arrived in the cost but all the authorities i dont know at what level were already aware of this and no one intervened to prevent him from being recruited.
