Good afternoon mineral the biggest hospital here in los angeles and the newest one this one right behind me here at the port of los angeles the u. S. And its mercy is said to have at least 1000 hospital beds and some 1200 active duty medical personnel to treat patients who are free of cope with 90. As many people are avoiding hospitals right now in fear of getting the crown of virus the u. S. In a smirky will be a safe place to get medical treatment this will also free up medical equipment so that crown of iris patients will have all the ventilators they need right now 90 percent of beds across the country are already taken there are only about 200 beds left available in the intensive care units.

V. Getting outdoors is essential for our health i would just say i have no judgment for anyone trying to get outside its a really stressful time im also a doctor and i understand why people cant cluster at the same time so you know i think its a difficult balance.

Busy. And fabricator and it just breaks hearts and. Im sure that each of us reporting in new york where the Navy Hospital ship comfort is expected to arrive on monday the main body will arrive at joint base mcguire decks like hearst tomorrow they will set up at the Javits Center this weekend and they will be operational for non coverage patients beginning monday President Trump traveling to Norfolk Virginia to send off the 1000 bed vessel to americas biggest city all in an effort to help hospitals in deal with the drastic influx of patients as new york remains the epicenter of the outbreak so the idea here with the corps of engineers with thema. And with the state and local officials is to work in collaboration so that we can provide skilled medical professionals. To take some pressure off the local and state Health Care System without with our Army Professionals the situation in new york worsening by the hour the state accounting for more than a 3rd of coronavirus cases in the country hospitals being pushed to the brink ive never felt so.

Ok now they just keep coming this as new york city remains on lockdown to slow the spread of the virus i am sure different ships have said. Its going to fix the perfect take it from the shipping. Mayor bill de blasio sending a powerful message oring the removal of Basketball Hoops throughout the city saying Group Activities must stop. The mayor also closing baseball fields and other parks this says a White House Coronavirus task force aims to ease nationwide guidelines meant to stem the corona Virus Outbreak that will be presented this weekend the president a range of recommendations and additional guidance. For Going Forward the president s made it clear that in his words he wants to open the country up. All the global coded 1000 pandemic has proven to be indiscriminate from royals like Prince Charles to the minister of Health Matt Hancock to now even the british Prime Minister Boris Johnson. I develop tomorrow symptoms of the corona virus thats to say a temperature and a persistent cough and on the advice of the chief medical officer ive taken a test that has come out positive so i am working from home im so far isolated and thats entirely the right thing to do. With infection confirmation is growing many brits are growing frustrated in the governments response and the optics created from the Prime Minister being able to whats perceived as cut the queue for a coronavirus test former u. K. M. P. George galloway is here to weigh in so george many brits are upset that the Prime Minister who seems to be displaying little to no symptoms at all was able to obtain a test people view him as a queue jumper when the commoners who are very ill in hospital cant even get to test themselves how do you view the optics of all of this. Well as donald trump a week or so ago i mean though. Of the world the people who are running things people who are in charge will be able to jump queues the problem is not so much the the Prime Minister of britain can get our coronavirus test but the other people cannot particularly the doctors and nurses who presumably administer of the test to the british Prime Minister it is a scandal of monumental proportions that not only can our medical stuff not get a test many of them are without even the basic p. P. Either personal Protection Equipment were working without masks or working with the reuse mollusks in a way that it clearly has stumped on the product that you must not do thats the big scandal not the Boris Johnson and the Health Minister and also the chief medical officer by the way all 3 of them no down with corona virus today this bug is seeking out politicians like a heat seeking missile all over the world the political leaders are there was in our circles are being somewhat disproportionately struck down another tells you one of 2 things mother in law either of something really dark and mysterious is going on or are the millions and millions of us have already got this and its just being tested and were not you know i think im with you on that one george i mean theres no way to tell because it seems this global shortage of the task now given that george it seems though as the wealthy the elite the lawmakers they seem to have no problem finding those tasks we know its not fair its not equal but for these World Leaders like Boris Johnson and for leaders like donald trump should. They be given preferential treatment because of their roles in this world their job. Well not in the world as i would design it but in the world we have of course thats going to happen and by the way some of them are being tested when they have absolutely no symptoms of thought senator ron paul we talked about a week or so ago absolutely no symptoms but able to get this that the drop of a dollar or 2 and the way of the world the drum described it but it is a remarkable thing that countries that go around the world invading and occupying other peoples countries projecting their military power are everywhere aircraft carriers Nuclear Missiles cruise missiles everything theyve got except face mosques for their own doctors and nurses go figure youre absolutely such a shame that i mean those are the people theyre going to that are going to pay for it now george mr johnston says he will still be working from his home office at 10 downing street hes taking every precaution to conduct his duties while self quarantining he says documents dropped off at his doorstep Video Conference and what have you though mr johnson is only aged 55. 00 george does the u. K. Have a backup plan in the case that the Prime Minister falls too ill to carry out his duties. Well speaking personally i wouldnt Boris Johnson out to buy a loaf because i wouldnt be sure that it would come back as i had gone down to or in the state has left the shop and so i dont think were going to be much worse off if mr johnson stays home for a week or 10 days maybe 2 weeks the real work of combating this is going on in the hospitals and in the medical prefer. Of course war is too important to be left to generals fighting a virus is too important just to be left to doctors and we have a backup plan but im sorry to tell you the backup plan is dominic rob didnt know that most of our imports came across the channel from cal they do a do over but he is our foreign secretary but theres a lightly loved emerging the chancellor of the exchequer young mother of us knew a couple of weeks ago most of us can pronounce his name is rishi so knock hes the next Prime Minister of britain mark my words interesting where were putting the predictions way out there george so thank you for that you can come back in mention this when that happens lastly i want to touch a little bit on the royals the royal watchers are bringing up Queen Elizabeth and the duke of edinburgh now now that we know that Prince Charles has tested positive now given the queen and dukes advanced ages are there concerns for their well being. Yes i mean theyre obviously well corseted in a big consul with presumably the best store of medical equipment and attention around them but they are exceedingly of the layout mongst the oldest people in the world. Well into the ninetys the juke is almost 100 years old i tell you what the last thing britain needs right now god forbid is the perishing of the king of the duke of edinburgh and her majesty the queen. People are definitely concerned all right well leave it right there George Galloway always appreciate your insight thank you. All right with me writing number of coronavirus layoffs there is a worldwide effort to coordinate our brant strike so whats being done. Were going to discuss that coming up and then over the sports h. Q. Regina hamm shares part one of her interview with the Guinness World record surfer dont miss it very fact. Is youll be a reflection of reality. In the world transformed. What will make you feel safe. High salacious little community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. For a mate in the shallows. Seemed wrong why dont we all just dont all. Get to shape our disdain comes to the ticket and in gains from an equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. I dont know maybe. Just after the coup was. Told. Thats why. I was told was yes measures. All good measures. For the. Likes of breaking news coming out of washington the house has just passed the 2 trillion dollar Coronavirus Relief package overcoming hurdles by one g. O. P. Lawmaker that sent furious lawmakers across the Country Racing back to d. C. To move the emergency legislation to President Trumps desk the enormous package approved by the senate Late Wednesday night provides hundreds of billions of dollars for industry Small Businesses unemployed workers and Health Care Providers as well as direct payments to u. S. Citizens hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic which has devastated economies around the world. And the Economic Impact due to the corona virus has resulted in a record 3300000 americans signing up for Unemployment Benefits just last week so to keep people in their homes during this pandemic cities and states have responded by placing moratoriums on evictions and utility shutoffs however some tenants say thats not enough and have responded by calling for a statewide rent strike so joining us to answer that question about what to do Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and host of r. T. America is on contact chris hedges is here chris so. Inside this stimulus bill that was passed in the senate now just the house. Is this federal is a relief for federal loan mortgage holders we already know that but theres no relief it appears for renters who actually make up 36 percent of all american households 65 percent of those households are under 35. 00 and the majority of renters are black and latino people across the u. S. So what does that say about the priorities of the lawmakers. Well we know what the priorities are the priorities are to bail out large corporations Like Airlines and it looks like there is a loophole so even trump businesses will get bailed out money given a percentage trist which can be leveraged 10. 00 to 1. 00 to large banks and a pittance tossed at. The rest of the population who if figures are correct are about to endure 30 percent unemployment so a rent strike there may be a de facto rent strike just in the sense that people wont have any income only one in 4 people can work for home from home and those who especially in the lower working class who make up the Service Economy have been tossed out of work with. Get a check for 1000. 00 or something which we have funneled right back into the Credit Card Company so i think were headed into uncharted economic. Catastrophe in some ways even worse perhaps than the 1930 s. After the 1929 crash because 70 percent of the u. S. Economy is based on consumption we no longer manufacture much of anything other than weapons which is part of the whole crisis in that we have this desperate shortage of the kind of vital medical equipment even to even in terms of gowns and gloves and masks that a country of our size and well should have stockpiled and produced so there will be economic pressure without question that will force tens of millions of americans to respond in radical measures and i think this talk of a rent strike is an indication of the kind of. Desperation and and desperate responses that are going to be inevitable as we roll forward in the. Weeks and months now chris i mean let me just put this out there do you think capitol hill are going to hear the voices of renters as loudly as they would hear the voices of home homeowners we have seen what happened in 2008 that was the housing bubble of homeowners but theres a whole lot of americans who are renters are their voices going to be heard. Sure their voices will be heard as soon as the landlords dont get the rent. And that will of course deliver another jolt perhaps to sassed ryssdal d to the economy along with all the other jolts the dysphoric has engendered so the response of the runners will be heard what the response of. Legislators who are beholden to Corporate Power will be. May as we saw with this stimulus package that was just passed maybe to. Bail out people slumlords like the. Not not to actually address the. Economic freefall that is going to be visited especially on. Members of the lower working class or the working poor and i certainly think theres a lot of work to be done there but its not going to be taken care of in this current stimulus bill we have to leave it right there chris chris hedges always appreciate your insight on all of this thank you. Thanks milla. All right lets head over to the sports h. Q. With regina hamm regina so the laureus sports awards back in february gave you a chance to talk with some pretty big names we got to meet tony hawk we got to meet now to come in next but in Action Sports surfing is actually growing across the world with men and women alike taking to the waves in droves but for brazilians or for my get the air she went down in the record books for her latest accomplishment i had a chance sit down with her at the. Sports awards and i asked her how she felt after making the guinness book of World Records it was a dream come true really after so many years in my sport and thinking about that record and trying to figure out how to accomplish it not only. In performance wise by surfing that wave and completing it successfully but also politically how to start the platform and get the guinness and the douglas out to recognize not only a world record but also a womans world record so it was quite surreal when it all happened how have you seen women surfing grow since you started i mean you were a teenager when you started youve seen it explode all across the world what is your perspective on that yeah its Pretty Amazing another level of performance from the girls and. Through the roof from in their surfing so theyre very young theyre coming with a lot of professionalism of koch is and parents are very involved in their 2nd or 3rd generations and to surfing so their level is amazing its amazing to watch their their very professional dedicated athletes which is very awesome to see and its very inspiring and i think in a way of surfing also we have had a huge Huge Movement coming from girls in hawai and you know proving and eyes are as well and told surfing scene we just had our 1st competition there right oversell told surfing and we had 2 women myself and just in the pond. Representing in the middle of a field of the best big wave riders in the world and i think we werent really behind then you want to were just competing pretty equally and in and out was to me the 1st in our sport the 1st time ive seen a field that didnt have much of a difference and just furthering on that the judge yourself made headlines because this year now they agreed to that last season really that men and women are going to be equal prize money what is your take on that and has this been really long overdue. I dont think it has been long overdue i mean if you look at other sports you know how the n. B. A. Is salaries for a woman and man are a very Different Number i think it has a lot to do of the business behind of viewer numbers than and how much you can regenerate towards the business of the sport and that will translate to the woman or man in the sport i figure was a very bold move. The money is not equal you know the viewership is not equal but for some reason they felt like that was the right time to to make that statement and to elevate the prize money and to make it equal and to give to that opportunity for the female side its amazing to be able to bring home the same kind of prize the male in your sport is also doing but i never thought it was it was overdue i think its a lot more about the opportunity to the woman have than read it trying to match the prize purse wisdom and i dont i dont see that as the biggest importance and sport. She was really fascinating you know it is womens History Month manilla so theres a lot of interesting things that you see in sports like that where you have equal prize money and shes right the n. B. A. And the n. B. A. You know theres huge huge areas theyre huge and so for her to comment on that for her to give her opinion its really interesting because we have sportscasters we can comment on their comments but to hear from the source themselves it gives a lot more perspective in a lot more weight well i mean her opinion though is certainly very different than say that of meghan rypien oh it is i think it comes from different settings as well where in surfing you do have a little bit more of an equal footing youre not you know consummate compared to all youre playing less than the men youre playing kind of yourself and you know your skills are kind of the same its i think the mechanics of soccer is why there is that disparity you have that difference and you know very outspoken yes you dont see too many women like that so absolutely still weve got more of that interview coming up right we do we got part 2. At 3 pm our right thank you for that regina and weve got a lot more news coming up for you at 3 pm eastern the house has passed that 2 trillion dollar spending bill and sending it over to President Trump where hes expected to sign very soon and new rochelles contamination zone now removed were going to talk live with an official from that county all that and more coming up today at 3 pm so thats it for now i know it had a few back here had we can check out our new app to.
