Take stock to get the right people around the table not just a narrow segment of science and to look and say what was likely to be coming down the track if they dont or they would have put systematic testing in place they would have ordered all the stuff that were not sure of and they would have realised that in order to take the public with you our list journey into the unknown were this rich real restrictions on freedom in a liberal democracy that they would have to be open and transparent and all these things they failed to do so were in a really bad place as the numbers of deaths are now climbing very steeply and will continue to do so over the next few weeks what you say are all that bad or a stronger offices briefing that the reason maybe we didnt get the information was that china was getting us disinfo mation that china has been there. Big factor here and will face a reckoning they could be concerned a pariah state is nothing about your ventilator numbers and lack of oxygen today this is the whole debate jinxing is to me whats coming out of downing street i think its very sad that weve reached a situation where the failures of our own governments are being just ignored and not learnt from the Lessons Learned from and rather hitting out in all directions that i think at the very beginning of this it seems as though the chinese lay have been slow to recall what was going on the numbers initially from december and january may not have been reliable but law recently and particularly since the World Health Organization became involved with china the charities have been demonstrating really quite extraordinary leadership theyve been sharing our line globally all their treatment protocol xolair Lessons Learned if only we would wake up and listen to whats been going on elsewhere and copy best practice thats the way theyve been behaving here rather depending on fear or ists rather than seeing what works in other parts of the world im guessing on enduring yes and following the advice of the director general of the w. H. O. To test test test and then act on the testing on social media certainly weve seen pictures of chinese medics dressed in their personal protective equipment what do you make of warnings of disciplinary action now being given to National Health Service Staff if they dare to talk to the media about their lack of equipment is there any clinical reason for the British Government or n. H. S. England to be giving such warnings the problem we interface is that the failure to be open and transparent and test and sure the dates are with the public coupled with a really poll Communications Strategy means that theres a failure of trust. The breakdown of trust between the public and the governments ironically what were going to finish up with is law repressive and possibly totalitarian measures from a government that really sees itself as a libertarian government as a result of not taking people on the cheerily in agreements to gether as a partnership but wait a minute you have a senior position in Public Health in this country is there really no clinical reason why the authorities here should be threatening doctors and nurses were talking to journalists its been a great tradition in this country going back to the origins of the National Health service that doctors and other critical stuff could speak out in public if they were concerned about matters that affected their patients and the public so its very worrying to see this these traffic trends in recent days where weve heard various stories of critical stuff being disciplined for speaking out about the shortage of personal protective equipment even the tory media in this country is now asking questions of there are government the government they supported do you think its lies or do you think its incompetence for instance when one of johnsons ministers robert general said. We dont have the religion and the right chemicals to test people and then the Chemical Industries association denied claims that there were shortages is there johnson government lying or are they just incompetent i think its very Interesting Development that the us papers that normally are firm supporters of the conservative party are now beginning to criticise the government this is a Public Health emergency this is not a Party Political matter but what weve got is a government this has laid terrible mistakes and is now covering up those mistakes by yes law. Or at least being economical with the truth and restricting the history i mean this whole story of herd immunity totally preposterous notion that seem to be conjured up out of thin air even if that meant many more deaths would occur that if we were taking traditional Public Health measures of testing isolating quarantining tracing and really putting a lid on it as the government finds it hard to say those very simple words sorry we got it wrong we need to learn now from our experience and get it right as we go forward into this most acute part of this crisis well doctors and nurses seem to be defying the authorities here telling them to not talk to the public theyre showing pictures of their much poorer protective equipment contrasted with that found in china what about hospital cleaners what about cafeteria workers there was a cap of 15 percent on testing i understand thats the only being lifted on all spittle stuff how important will it be to test what was recently called low skilled workers by the home secretary pretty patel here its very important bio security and the protection against this virus is certainly a stroke as its weakest link cleaners are fundamental to bio security in a clinical environments im sorry to say that in this class written society of the United Kingdom we tend to think the only important people are those top of the trade the doctors and the nurses and the cleaners and the courses and these are the stuff you know dont really matter very much but they are absolutely central to getting on top of this how significant then is the Public Private partnership dimension to this Health Service. Pursued by the tony blair the gordon brown government the major government made government cameron how as significant because Simon Stevens of course the boss of n. H. S. England used to be a boss at the us Health Company United Health known for scandals Patrick Vallance Senior Adviser here used to work at j. F. K. Another scandal that Multinational Company Pharmaceutical Company well many of us have been worried about this progressive privatization of the National Health service. From the beginning my own view is that it has a role at the margins but not much more than us and we see how difficult it is to caroll to organize so lobel our ace every think thats needed when so much of this is lower provided by private companies who will only do things you know really if its written into the contracts and theyre being paid for it if you take Public Health itself local Public Health teams no longer have their own community Public Health nurses who you could use to deploy it outbreak like this in an epidemic to do the concert tracing i think when this is all over that one of the things that leads to come less of this is a fundamental reappraisal of the role of the private sector in the National Health service but do you think ahead of any future public independent inquiry regardless of what Judges Church has a do you think people in whitehall in the Civil Service let alone in Government Departments are already shredding documents about coronavirus actually from my time when i was a regional director of Public Health and we had the b r c scandal. You know the police were crawling all over white all over richmond ause trying to find out what had happened in meetings whod said watts and there were certain very scary. Officials because of the way in which a lot of the decisions have been taken you know thats 20 years ago now and so much lauries Old Computers and hard disks when this is over. Really i think before then the police need to be securing the evidence for what will inevitably become a very serious and low running inquiry its a who got it wrong and what shouldnt be happening after this is that the guilty and the negligent should be rewarded for their guilt and negligence with knighthoods and dame ships and all rest of the regalia which is how the british tend city with these matters and just finally the fragmentation right now today do you think there will be people who die because of corona virus and you can trace their deaths to the fragmentation of the n. H. S. Not envisioned at all arguably by the architect one of the architects and are in van well im very certain that there are already deaths that were avoidable not least among the 3 or 4 doctors that have so far died because they didnt have adequate personal protective equipment im very sadly were going to see much floor of the us as this crisis unravels i should just also us for those watching who have private Health Insurance in britain already the insurers are are rewriting policies to exclude coronavirus do you think there might be calls to nationalize the Health Insurers the private Health Insurers subsidized by the government enjoys like booga after this crisis is over well you know boop has always been an anachronism when you look at a charity then you have to ask some basic questions like who is better for it saying if its run as a charity and over the years that paid a small proportion of medical consultants have made an enormous amount of money. Out so for the super arrangements and the other private private Hospital Systems which masquerade as charities i think in the 2nd well we brought together the private hospitals the voluntary hospitals and the poor spittles im crafted into the National Health service weve hardly seen yet. Thats likely to happen of deaths in homes in this country because its largely privacy its all over the place but this is all. We need a National Care service as well as a National Health service Reza John Ashton thank you very much we always invite the head of on the show to after the break we talk to professor Lewis Dartnell who is always warned that a pandemic was a more immediate threat to the human species and Climate Change about how shakes out Global Political history all of them all coming up about who are going underground. And were going to fulfill the repeated promises of politics to the people and the market but you know weve all but. You know. You. Pray. That you want to work. No. For. A. Link ok link i link up my you are. Welcome back well while successive major nation government failed to prepare us for a viral pandemic one scholar always claimed a virus could be the biggest threat to the human species u. K. Professor Lewis Dartnell though i caught up with skype his new book origins how the earth shaped Human History traces the way ancient geology may have helped determine that it is Boris Johnson and donald trump who make todays life or death decisions about coronavirus i started by asking him how he always understood the threat to humanity posed by pandemics yes i might my last book the knowledge is a thought experiment its all about how you could go about rebuilding everything from scratch if theres been some kind of reset button thats been pushed how do you make and do all of the things that we just take for granted and our modern everyday lives and they can seat as a premise up thought experiment i magine some kind of hypothetical apocalypse some kind of Global Pandemic or an asteroid strike or Something Like that but the end of the day the knowledge as a book isnt about the apocalypse is not out the end of the world its about our world and how we got here and how we built it and how our civilisation runs behind the scenes to provide everything that we take for granted in our lives and i think the reason this is at the moment is the pings were taken for granted are starting to show a little bit of a crack of a ring. And people going to supermarkets are finding shelves are running bare so i think were all starting to ask ourselves where does the stuff come from where is it may. How is it put together what is the infrastructure and the supply chains that are normally completely invisible how do they actually work and so thats what i explore in the knowledge were going back to today in your new book origins we have of course an official opposition im not sure of Jeremy Corbin when he criticize the government over the response of the pandemic realizes your new book says that without 320000000 year old coal fields a germy corbins party might not even exist youre going to have to explain the what i have been looking at with this new book is all the ways that the planet itself that we live on different features of the earth have had a guiding influence and deep and profound effect on our human story so everything from what drove our evolution as incredibly intelligent apes in east africa through thousands of years of the history of the rise and fall of different civilizations and empires and then right up as you say right up to the modern world of Current Affairs and the headlines you read we dont use paper over breakfast or in politics and how People Choose to vote there is a very clear planetree fingerprints in political maps i give an example of this in the United States and i can trace out the outline of a ancient sea floor and where people are voting for either democrats or republicans in the u. S. And theres another very very clear discernible signal of geology of the rocks beneath our feet in british politics as well and if you look at the. The political map where people of voted for the labor party in the most recent election and looking back over the decades the labor folks tend to correlate very very strongly with the rocks and if your feet that are 330000000 years old on and on the face of it this makes no sense i think people arent geologists theyre not digging in their back garden and going are but the rock beneath my back garden 50 any and all that means ive got to vote for the tories rather than the labor i want to be lefty and ive got to be conservative but what has happened is no direct effect but what has happened is theres been a long chain of cause and effect with one thing leading to the next reaching back through tens of millions of his of our planets history and then the recent sentrys in decades of Human History and culture and social ritchie and politics and for this particular pattern for the labor vote rock for the 350000000 years old well a town during a chapter of us history called the company for us this is when all the coal fields were laid down something broke in the recycling system on planet earth 300000000 years ago and trees grew vigorously and fell over and die but refused to rot for millions of years trees refused to rot and built up a huge sixteens of what affectively kleist forest of life sunshine that we here in britain realise the beginning of the Industrial Revolution we can dig up those underground forests threw them into our furnace is and power us into the modern age of industrialization and thats the final step and chain of cause and effect is that the labor Political Party grew out of the trade. Unions of course and most notably the coal miners trade unions as the final political layer laid on top of all these people structure of geology and plant tree causes and arguably of the miners strike was one of the big flashpoints against their liberalism in the eightys. The civil rights struggle in the usa you talk about you over say youd expect a rosa parks to refuse getting up in the bus in Montgomery Alabama because of where she was 75000000 year old rocks if you look at the analogous situation in the United States and theres a very distinctive crescent and arc of democratic votes in counties reaching right across the Southern States cutting what across the sea of red of otherwise republican areas of the of the Southern States of the u. S. And that matches very very closely with 75000000 all blacks as you say rocks laid down in the cretaceous chapter of earths history and in that period of our past sea levels are much much higher and the ocean laptop run through the middle of the center of north america and so rocks laid down at that period were thick sediments of sea floor model that have been buried and we exposed so that today those cretaceous rocks along this particular are and as realized in the early eightys hundreds that those cretaceous rocks when they give you when they break down into soil give you a very very rich fertile soil for growing cash crops like cotton and unfortunately that period of history growing cotton and around the colonies meant slave labor but people were thrown into chains taken from africa forced to work on plantations and in and in the colonies of the americas and even today off of the hundreds of years of history and the civil war and mancipation from slavery and the Civil Rights Movement the greatest density of black africanamericans still they have a long black band of cretaceous and. Dragan if you look at the map that i show you in the book in origins and the city of montgomery which is where rosa parks refused to give up her seat to a white gentleman on the bus 1055 that city is smack right in the middle of this band of pretentious a trucks is again that none chain of cause and effect from politics and culture and social a genie back through to geology and resources and the earths past climates that is deep explanations the would be earth underlying everything we read about in history and these correlations with plate tectonics if theyre there for civil rights and for different struggles of workers around the world theyre also there for how we came to exist as a species i mean its not just a rivers where rivers cross you talk about something far deeper literally in the earths core yes so plate tectonics and specifically the ripping open of the skin of the earth the cracking open of earths crust or the great east african rifai it was that tectonic landscape and climate fluctuations were living there over the last 45000000 years that drove our evolution from harry tree swinging ape like creatures into hairless naked like people upright hallman in human like species and specifically it was that chaotic fluctuating environment in the rift valley based africa they drive our evolution to be so exquisitely intelligent and when there was human migration or hominid migration from east africa given of course right now were in the midst of a Global Pandemic we still dont know today. Why for instance the previous migrations in east africa disappeared as they went into the middle east we dont know today what wiped out the neanderthal species we dont know today why is it we dont know i mean there are all these theories of competition with the homo sapiens could it have been pandemics there right when we encountered as we migrated and dispersed around the world we encountered our sibling species when crack encountered any other tals we encountered other hominid species around the world and we know now that we bred with them or is not entirely clear yes is why the and the tolls then died out why did hemans white homo sapien and why did we prevail where is neanderthals fell into extinction and whats likely to be the case is that we simply outcompete we were more intelligent more culturally capable had better Language Skills but a tall use the neanderthals at least then the theory is not that its a its a pandemic im just going to ask you weve started by dogging about the fact that the British Labor but he could possibly have been influenced by the geology of this country 320000000 years ago you also in the book talk about choke points in maritime routes as important today as they were so many years ago when we get back to normal again if there isnt a step change also do you think that geopolitics will continue to be descended and influenced by what happened hundreds of millions of years ago obviously tony blair was a labor leader it was a war in iraq iraq is where is a concentration of oil produced by geology yeah absolutely so so for hundreds of years of our history its not just been a choker fee of allowed the importance of where rivers flow or where mountain ranges block people moving its also been the children of the scenes and. Chokepoints and straits that constrain where ships can sail it makes them vulnerable during the straits and at the moment one of the most geopolitically critical spots on the planet is the straits right in the mouth of the arabian gulf or the persian gulf where a huge amount of oil flows inside oil tankers and the geopolitical concern in recent years has been that a state like iran might choose to block that strait that they could declare that they put mines in that strait annex no longer safe oil tankers to go down and that would have an Enormous Economic and political fallout and once we start getting squashing down that pipeline of crude oil which is the lifeblood of how our world works today the president s gotten thank you kate. Professor Lewis Dartnell speaking to be there and his book origins out the other shaped Human History is out now thats it for the show well be back on wednesday for the finale of this season of going underground when we speak to legendary filmmaker john pilger about global injustices being hidden on the Mainstream Media coronavirus coverage until then wash your hands and join the underground on you tube twitter sound that in its progress.

Theres a real difference to god listen to snoop come up on your good or as the girls are with you or his supporters to your machine as they should or shouldnt be you should the door for one was delayed because of. This. Record. It is a will or a this. Welcoming our viewers from around the world to live from Central London this is our to u. K. The Prime Minister spends a night in hospital some 10 days after testing positive for corona virus thats his calls quote for parliament to go on line during the pandemic ill be talking to an s. N. P. M. P. Shortly. 16 residents in a care home in glasgow die in just over a week long 2 of the staff who tested positive for the virus thats as local authorities struggle to gain access to data on the one and a half 1000000 the most vulnerable despite the government giving supermarkets the same information. First person charge on new coronavirus legislation as their conviction quashed police misinterpret the law. Somebody theres a court just dissipating britains lock down but others are forced to flow the rules out of sheer desperation as they fall through the gaps in the bailout. But also the labors need to secure stop itself the governments hand to go beyond break as we look back at how history might judge his predecessor. The Prime Minister remains in hospital after he was admitted last night due to persistent coronavirus symptoms thats as it emerges the antibody tests ordered by the government to detect immunity among those who and the virus dont actually work and he has these and he joins me now with the latest so he said bring us up to speed with the developments of today what weve seen over the weekend the death toll continuing to rise it was almost 5000 deaths in the u. K. Yesterday and today weve already had. The latest results coming in from england and theres a rise of another sort of 400 deaths in england and that would suggest a drop in the number of those who have lost their lives after testing for 19 and will perhaps hopefully give some indication to or thora tease that possibly the u. K. Is getting over the peak of this crisis but of course its too early to tell if we are still waiting for the figures to come in for the last or the latest 24 hour period from the other countries within the United Kingdom now weve seen last night while the queens speech of the queens address was going out to the nation around 8 pm last night the Prime Minister Boris Johnson who has tested positive for covert 1000 was taken to hospital where its said that he is receiving treatment and that he is still meant to be in a comfortable state however there are concerns that the Prime Minister going to hospital is a major escalation in how his condition is but as far as the government is concerned weve been hearing from the housing secretary robert general and he says that Boris Johnson continues to be in charge despite having been taken to hospital overnight he remained in charge of the government he will be updated regularly in hospital as he has been once hes been self isolating let many other people whove been having to do that. Now should Boris Johnson remain out of action then it would go to the foreign secretary dominic robb who would be essentially the Prime Minister and acting with acting Prime Minister while Boris Johnson has been sidelined but were not at that stage yet the government they have been using the zoom up thus far to hold cabinet meetings and they are also using this in terms of parliament as well so not just at the cabinet but m. P. s using a socalled special parliamentary version of this video chats up and thats the way the government is keeping business going as much as they possibly can and he said what about number tens plans for testing well weve seen much criticism of the government and the allegations against him but they havent done enough testing well they have purchased millions of self testing kits however last week it merged that some of those kits were themselves infected with code 19 and now it appears that they dont work especially not in cases where those tests or those people who are asymptomatic will have very mild symptoms that these tests would only show antibodies where people whove had the strongest measures and so as a result of that we understand that the government have said that they now want to go from a position of just buying these types of cells testing kits its actually working with companies to develop together he said thank you very much indeed for all of us for more on this and joined by s. N. P. Member of Parliament Angus Macneil good to see you there. Its very concerning for the Prime Minister he was highly risky given the number of people who was meeting over 10 days ago. Absolutely this photogenic for the nurses and the giving of the wishes as well as we wish evidently were taken to hospital with this virus is not a pleasant thing and clearly some people are the virus the likes of my town coke and others how this could vitamin it looks it has developed a little bit further than the Prime Minister lets hope it hasnt developed in any bottom line we had in fairness or not is it a hospital soon as someone whos been working in westminster recently what about you youre ok do you know anything about your colleagues close colleagues. When i was provided with us at the beginning of march so i stopped to do it in the last few weeks because as a litmus of the Smaller Community and i didnt want to be the agent of time as fair as it is by here to have a nice so. I defeated a lot of things it was merely that stopping area saved up toward a conversation but as johnson and there in march in the last few days it was delivered forcibly happens soon accident to talk so im glad of that thats good news but of course we do need to take steps to protect politicians that we have now this idea of a virtual house of commons how would you back that. Yes it is a very good idea and i think its it did this is it in question that protects politicians is also takes the public because if if thank you for but parliament is it takes an individual from almost every corner of the United Kingdom under us and together in a small confined space then after 3 or 4 days a sense of back to the all corners of the United Kingdom sort of being in the london corridors maybe not the best sort of told for people to be and makes us agent 2nd calley covered by those that owners of the Virtual Parliament and the cell phone is a good idea for c o 2 in the plan to serve a good idea if youre in a pandemic joint special circumstances but are you concerned that legislation can really be scrutinised on the such conditions. Why would i think his consent is that usually legislation d like to let d it continue to beat up with some of the other latest. It might be shelved at the moment the case for some other the wire stuff this may be gone i think of a recess which will democrat knows incidentally the nordic social democrat everybody supports the National Health service the queen was gushing about it last night which is sometimes to undid the more that see the even the best of the systems which as a comprehensive Health Service as opposed to the patchwork of medicare the better and so i think the things are talked about at the moment in the Technology Lowdown the 20 mph to come on in to suit nice mystical statements departmental questions there are certain questions an underlying sort would at least hello ive been part of parliament to function out of that successful earth theres talk of encouraging the number of under 20 you could take part to move or we should of course been in mind a whole lot out of it 650. 00 a piece when with 300. 00 girls could fit in the common street at any time so and reality for if its just a speed the 1st steps of a Virtual Parliament will be constrained as well but it might be a better way to go because i said it i dont want 2 flights and basically other be the virtue of parliament and the save some of the c o 2 for their i guess is funding a thought on the current up down and short answer statement is next best said the killer could actually be worse than the virus. Well i mean i think whats the state of illinois the position of. Of of not testing i mean were seeing americans and other countries perhaps the russians 2 superpowers and thousands of Nuclear Weapons but when it comes to protecting their societies that absolute minnes of the super pairs of the likes of iceland and the figure i dont say this is deep particularly on a 700. 00 ton of earth if the definition of a truth something that documented the 3rd in scotland is a nation and helped america for itself as a nation i think America Needs to find itself again and hes to discover that it could be due to file a bit of high. Im just just very briefly got to ask you this breaching the lockdown in chief medical officer had to go. Very slow once but twice. Positions unsustainable and you would i guess well thank you very much david joining us live here in. 16 residents in a care home in glasgow died in just over a week while 2 of the staff who tested positive for the virus or who died at the Burlington Coat care home had Underlying Health conditions but none had tests for covert 19 as they are only for those admitted to hospital. When one is immersed at local authorities are still waiting for data on Vulnerable People in need even though the government is already given supermarkets the same information. Concerns data held on one of the hoff 1000000 clinically Vulnerable People who cant go out in any circumstances the information was shared by the likes of tesco and sainsburys to ensure that they are provided with essential but some local councils are still unable to access this information promised by the government despite repeated promises from government that councils would get comprehensive information about people being shielded most councils are still only getting partial or incomplete data we dont know who has requested support whether they need food or medicines urgently or whether they have any dietary or religious requirements amid privacy concerns over the use of the information at all Health Secretary matt hang caucus said that Data Protection laws do have an opt out for National Emergencies like this one and the government says that it is adhering to all relevant legislation we are working with the Food Retailers to make sure Home Deliveries and click can collect can be prioritized for the most clinically vulnerable who are isolated and the current to National Emergency sharing information will make a real difference to protecting vulnerable individuals and all information will be shared in strict accordance with Data Protection laws. Well for more on those most at risk during the pandemic ill be joined in the next hour by a family law barrister still to come with. Some basis to take to public spaces to open the file government regulations on social distancing problem thats assuming the forced to disobey lockdown rules to make ends meet. Do you believe in miracles it would seem democrats do after the job i researched on super tuesday for them the fear of the Bernie Sanders candidate see me now be contained however this is far from over taking on trump is the no you see. I dont trust medical authority at all ever and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with autoimmune disorders so my suggestion to people who have Health Issues they cant figure out if theyre going to see a medical professional and theyve been going for 10 years and theyre still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to Start Testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. Joined everything a little excitement sure and ill be speaking to get a feel of the world the olympics all those lives im sure both of those o. C. Of the. Right. The 1st person to be charged under the governments new coronavirus legislation has had her conviction overturned after it emerged that police misapplied the law when we didnt do was arrested at Newcastle Central station last weekend for failing to give authorities a valid reason why she was travelling she was approached after being spotted loitering between platforms suspected of not having a ticket and fined 660 pounds by a court last monday but the act she was charged under only covers those who are potentially infectious but ms dinu was approached and questioned for a ticketing offense its separate to the more recent pounds for police to enforce the u. K. Knock down such as closing nonessential shops or gatherings of more than 2 people. They knew was also kept in custody while awaiting a hearing and was sent back to her cell after refusing to identify herself British Transport Police has since apologized. There will be understandable concern that our interpretation of this new legislation has resulted in an ineffective prosecution this was in circumstances where officers were properly dealing with someone who was behaving suspiciously in the station and to stop believed to be travelling without a valid ticket regardless we fully accept that this shouldnt have happened and we apologize. They stay with us here not to you k. Want to discuss this case with a human rights lawyer in the next town. People across the country have been caught flouting social distancing regulations over the weekend with many lapping up the sun in Public Places we groups took part in some bathing in cycling despite government warnings to stay home Health Secretary hinted that more stringent measures would be put in place of people continued to disobey the rules before rolling back on the threat the same to others are being forced to flout the rules just to stay afloat party shut it was dashti investigates. That. Theres still plenty of cars on the right and still plenty of fodder for you to it like to write the governments latest book its just a dramatic drop so why might that be fear that if we maintain the look too long there will be a rebellion against because. Were younger generations of. Where are we its our future. In order to help her own Life Expectancy older people whose Life Expectancy may not be very hard very you know any of them some experts even think the Economic Impact of the virus could kill more people than the actual disease but why is that but those government bailouts the crap the headlines the chance a promise to strengthen the safety net with a package of measures for Businesses Companies staff and the south employed over 300000000000 pounds in loans for Companies Paying 80 percent of full time workers pay for 3 months so firms rather than fire and 80 percent of profits to the south employ it capped of course if you look at people who make the majority of their earnings from self employment this scheme will cover 95 percent of them. Of the people that it does not cover that last 5 percent those above the income threshold that we set the average incomes are about 200000. 00 pounds so we think what we have done is reasonable proportion and. To knock admitted some workers wouldnt be covered by his own estimate thats over a 1000000 people those who switched jobs just before the announcement the recently south employed those whose company chose to let them go rather than take the government cash and given a 3 month wait for it its easy to understand why the only place for workers to go is universal credit and the number of people applying for those benefits has rocketed to nearly a 1000000 thats in comparison 2100000 claims the department for work and pensions would normally expect in a 2 week period the systems at breaking point thousands on able to get through an all for around 100 pounds a week those employed by companies arent even safe the Coronavirus Business interruption loan scheme has the government underwriting up to 80 percent of interest free loans given to companies over the next 12 months but banks are thinking differently denying loans entirely or imposing sky high Interest Rates of up to 30 percent is going to thousands of people across the nation im having a fastens of messages coming into my inbox and Instagram People are just at the wits end and really Peoples Mental Health during this time the having to home school to have to deal with the that. 9 t. Theyre having to look after their houses and watching their businesses going and with no income whatsoever that the government have to take action now its no good in june its needed now or we are going to go bankrupt. And for the average worker of course the bills gas electricity water food all remain the same in terms of government assistance those with mortgages can now get a 3 month holiday they will still have to pay off the missed payments down the line and rantis cant be evicted for 3 months there after that it seems anything goes yes these changes can greatly the virus made speeding but if the government thinks that stay at home and dont tell them they might need to make some substantial changes until then many people really think this is the house might just be the. U. K. Labours new leader secure storm that says the government has made mistakes in its handling all the corona Virus Outbreak he scored a number turn to publish a lockdown exit strategy and to set up Vaccination Centers nationwide when a vaccine is created it was announced some of his Shadow Cabinet Team leadership rival leeson that he is the new shadow foreign secretary well and he said shadow chancellor but there is some continuity with former leader Jeremy Corbyn as shadow Health Secretary John Nash Wirth retains his post the new leader also vowed to do more to tackle anti semitism within the party an issue that plagued his predecessor. A man he never seemed destined for leadership Gerry Corbett with petrol that should campaign for him to sell you to be so government funded player brother. There are 600.

Hello and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered im Peter Lavelle do you believe in miracles which seems democrats do after the joe biden surge on super tuesday for them to fear of the Bernie Sanders candidate may now be contained however this is far from over taking on trump will be no easy task. Crosstalk in the war on bernie im joined by my guess ronnie a colleague in beirut she is a producer and host in the now in new york we have lionel he is a legal and media analyst also in new york we have danny he is a contributing editor at black agenda report and coauthor of american exceptionalism and american innocence a peoples history of fake news from the revolutionary war to the war on terror right crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated lets go to beirut 1st rania i feel like after super tuesday looking at the Corporate Media that you know theres a whole lot of gaslighting going on its already a foregone conclusion bernies out here and James Carville says he should step up step down and leave the campaign but you know for a very long time joe biden had that position but no one said that he should step down i really think this gaslighting really shows the a lot of collusion between the d.
