Personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that you say come on ill show you heres an air force base in alaska this is interesting that this move is taking place right now its right there at the base that the 30 fives are going to be drawing meaning the 6 teams and what else do they have that they have 169 air refueling units so its a big operation that theyre going to have theyre now whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area the 1st thing obviously to look at is russia right why well geography and history both play into this story look at how close sometimes we forget just how close russia and the United States are to each other maybe as close as any other country out there when you really zoom in and thats what i want to do i want to zoom in for you take a look at this thing that we just discovered there are 2 little weiland right here in between the edge of russia and the edge of alaska one of those islands is called the big diet meet island and the other one is called di i mean island or little diabete island so this is big this is little di meade this one belongs to russia this one over. Here belongs to the United States you know with the distances between those like 2 and a half miles thats like 40 football fields or approx with that many fields thats how small the distances between these 2 countries so thats the geography now lets talk about the history which is predicated by a way by a cat and mouse game thats been truly played out by both sides in fact you want to see what im talking about ive got video i want to show you take a look at this video here it is look at this video you see right here canadian fighters u. S. Fighters all a part of norad chasing away a russian surveillance plane thats the one that you see right there right thats called a t u 142 the norad fighter jets there f. A. Teens and f. 22 that as you can see in the video the smaller planes are chasing away the bigger plane theres another one coming right here this video was put out by norad by the way in this area which is called the alaskan own by the way this is very recent its not like this happened a long time ago and the whole thing lasted about 4 hours lets go back to the map now if we possibly can because i want to talk a little bit about the history and speaking of the history this type of thing that i just showed you this is been going on for more than half a century during the cold war and after the cold war someone asked why after the cold war we still doing this kind of stuff the answer gets a little complicated but were going to be joined by an expert whos going to take us through this in just a little bit so is it really about tensions with russia though the key word here is new new tensions maybe not remember this area right here has been americas bastion of Oil Production and alaska relies on the price of oil always being high why do you think sarah pailin for example was such a popular governor when all this was filled with oil wells the price of oil was 120. 00 a barrel was it hard to be popular today theyre lucky if they get 0 were also. To drill down on that coming up so is the u. S. Creating a military industry in alaska to bolster the states lackluster economy that it has right now thats one opinion or one way of looking at it heres another one heres another one a look at alaskas remoteness with so many u. S. Military personnel cramped quarters all over the world many of them right now succumbing to covert 19 is alaska a perfect respite for the u. S. To put many of its military personnel this is important were going to map this out were going to drill down on this story right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know we say this all the time and we mean that we work hard because we believe. It really is time to do news again. All right here we go the list of the questions we think youll be asking tomorrow what is the reason the real reason for this u. S. Increased military presence in alaska why is Governor Cuomo angrily defending Police Officers and Health Care Workers against the white house and why is china announcing or its revealed that its arrested while way workers for talking about iran. Lets go ahead and get right to our top story with the u. S. Military move to some more fighter jets into alaska 1st the background and the details of the story as we know it right now here 1st is hard to correspondent john hardy. The 1st 4 f. 35 fighter jets landed this week and i also an air force base in alaska deployed from the 354th Operations Group in utah the air force says that prior to the deployment the alaska wing was sending its pilots and personnel out for training at other bases but the coast in 1000 pandemic ended that program the Associated Press reports that the base expects to receive 54 jets and an intentional 1300 personnel by december 2 10212 squadrons of f. 35 days will join the reactivated 356 Fighter Squadron with the 18th Aggressor Squadron of f. 16 and the 168th air refueling wing u. S. Senator Lisa Murkowski of alaska said in a statement that the addition of the jets is a milestone for the arctic writing quote the importance the squadrons of f. 35. 00 will play in our National Defense while also providing our human with incredible real world training is unparalleled while the kobe 1000 pandemic has reportedly played a part in the reason the jets are being deployed to alaska it also comes as russias military has been conducting continued exercises in the arctic region this video of russian Army Paratroopers jumping from a transport check at close to 30000 feet above the arctic during a 3 day military exercise recently went viral Russian Spetznaz Special forces also took part in the training and earlier this month f 22. 00 fighter jets and Canadian Air Force jets intercepted russian reconnaissance planes over the bering sea north of the Aleutian Islands the russian planes never entered u. S. Or canadian airspace but theyre part of a string of intercepts according to norad over the past few months senator dan sullivan of alaska added in the statement senator mitch koski that quote alaska is the most strategic place in the world and now with these 2 squadrons of f. 35 days. State will soon be home to more than 150 Generation Fighters americas adversaries will certainly think twice before engaging our country when faced with this unparalleled force and fire power war games and warnings aside i also an air force space has been gearing up for the addition of f. 35. 00 since 2016 when the program was 1st announced so far more than 500000000. 00 has been appropriated for construction at the base located 26 miles southeast of fairbanks related to the addition of the f. 35 squadrons for the news of the Rick Sanchez John hardy. Thats great stuff john thanks so much for hustling get that story to us lets go over now to my former product out official what do you make of all of a sudden this increased u. S. Presence there that has a lot of people saying oh it must be theyre doing some offensive against russia or something is it. Necessarily there are 2 points id like to make number one there has been increased surveillance by the russians in that area for quite some time actually thats nothing new but the more critical of the more strategic reason i think is that for some time now the russia has really paid very close attention to the importance of the strategic importance of the arctic and now the United States has finally come around to realize that and alaska is our most Northern Point to watch over the arctic because that whole area has opened up because the melting of the ice that has become a transport area for a number of countries not only russia but also china and russia is way ahead of the United States in establishing bases in the arctic particularly in the russian area that adjoins to the to the arctic and its looking over their areas that theyre now claiming for resources very vital resources for Mining Minerals and what have you so that whole area is not only strategic youve got to keep in mind too that the arctic is. When you look at it look downward and if you miss from it is the arctic it is the closest point to all the capitals in the world the shortest point to all the troubles in the world if you were to fire a missile a Strategic Missile and youre warning time would be negligible everythings r. C. And. No i was just paraphrasing what youre saying it goes back to Global Warming it goes back to the fact that suddenly there are going to be resources and lanes that never existed before russias touted is that theres already d theyre looking at it in the United States wants to tap into whatever russia is tapping into this is fascinating the way you just laid this out for us mike what an amazing you know what were coming back to this is something that you and i are going to drill down on some more thanks so much for for joining us mike maloof explaining putting into perspective something that perplexed a lot of people thats why we have a god thats great there is big news coming out of new york today from both the governor and the mayor Governor Cuomo lashed out at the white house from the federal government for only being interested in helping Corporate America leaving states like his to barely have enough to protect police and Health Care Workers his words then for his part mayor de blasio is taking on hasidic jews in his community telling them that he will arrest them if they continue to violate rules against large gatherings we have all of this covered for you but theres also a big story thats coming out of berlin where the European Union is now announcing new rules as far as how you can travel from one place to another and it means get ready to have your temperature checked lets begin there heres peter all over. The Brandenburg Gate is one of germanys most visited Tourist Attractions but if youre dreaming of seeing it or anything else in the e. U. Any time soon you may well need a special type of passport that says you are new to the coronavirus the Tourism Sector has experienced an immense and unexpected decline in demand due to the outbreak of the corona virus pandemic our mission is to be as members of the European Union and as part of the most successful to risk region in the world a leader in the recovery of tourism these m units and passports are just one of a number of ideas being discussed by the tourism minister as they try to find ways to mitigate the impact of covert 90 on the holiday industry one particular idea is based on the whole proviso that if you. 19 you cant be angry at some nations like greece which relies massively on holiday makers spending money there are very much on side with the plan but there is one quite significant. The World Health Organization munity passports were printed on at this point there is not enough evidence about the effectiveness of antibody mediated immunity to guarantee the accuracy of an immunity passport or risk free certificate people who assumed that they are immune to a 2nd infection made more Public Health advice the use of such a difficult made therefore increase the risks of continued transmission. Just so warning that if you need to just be. To be held spread the virus the reality for the Tourism Industry is that without working seeing the future looks bright for all of us.

In new york Trinity Chavez r. T. So weve got you covered cities from all over the world and in the United States this is the news of rick sanchez youre watching our special coverage and were going to be right back. It. Seems wrong well we just dont. Get to say power. Comes to educate and it. Equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. To look for common ground. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. Seeing. We fear to ask. What about how much it shows that it was a story that we have been really on top of for quite some kind of leading when it comes to coverage of the way situations so do you remember when the daughter of the founder of weiwei was arrested by u. S. Authorities in canada it was a brazen move conducted as part of an accusation by the trumpet ministration that china how dare they conduct business with iran who was the enemy of the United States but not necessarily the enemy of china now theres a report that back in 28000 Chinese Police arrested 5 weiwei employees weiwei employees who were apparently having a chat discussion where they had talked about the company by elating sanctions against iran thats what theyre being charged with or were charged with here now to put this all together forces are to correspond to michelle. I can confirm its an open secret that while a cell is to iran thats the message from. Huawei employee leave hong yuan in a private we chat group of other former employees on december 11th 2018 their former employer had just been accused of violating u. S. Sanctions on iran and the companys c. F. O. Had just been arrested because of the saying it would have been a legal for huawei to sell any u. S. Origin goods or technology to the country but while they didnt offer tangible evidence of sanctions violations he was arrested by Chinese Police with 4 other former employees shortly after lee was detained for 251 days and told the New York Times that the police appear to have arrested them in part to stop them from speaking about huawei is activities in iran another one of the former employees zong monk who was also arrested in accusations of leaking trade secrets holding New York Times that the Chinese Police told him that by discussing hallways iranian business and communicating with Foreign News Outlets he had crossed a line both lee and were in disputes with huawei because of their severance package which didnt include a year end bonus then look for other disgruntled huawei workers and as we chat group grew to more than 60 people but according to several Chinese Media outlets li was also suspected of blackmailing huawei and thats why he was detained eventually while we had to drop the case and issued a statement that we could file a lawsuit if he believed his rights were violated he also received compensation of 100001 from the Chinese Government for his detention last year lease case was heavily covered by u. S. Media in december of 29000. 00 the New York Times wrote about lees labor dispute with the headline how hallway lost the heart of the chinese public some members of the chinese public then criticize the ellet demanding that Foreign Forces including those of the United States where using the case to justify the technological cold war against while away and the u. S. Charges against the company as one beijing resident told the global times who said qual way lost the hearts of the chinese public the journalist thinks she can represent everyone for the news with rick sanchez Michele Greenstein r. T. That. Story i think theres nobody better to bring in for this discussion than former u. K. M. P. George galloway hes been following this whole weiwei china us thing for quite some time george what is your take on this. Well firstly rick that china is a unique country it is capitalist economy inside a communist society ruled by the communist party of china and china has more billionaires than any other country in the world except america but its also imprisoned and shocked even more billionaires than any other country in the world so there is a tension always inside china between the business of business and the communist partys determination to remain in power and sometimes theres a clash between the interests of both sides thats how so many of them have ended up in jail almost half of chinese billionaires has ended up in prison here we have though a pretty marquee story where will the company was spying on its employees and reporting them to the police and thats led to all kinds of time goals and strengthening their crawl up against wall which if you use wall way eventually the Chinese Communist party will get to know what it is youve been using it for so even though our companies do exactly the same with our governments its a bit of a problem now i think for while were roque before we were out of time whats to stop china from just saying to the United States and to its employees yes were doing business with iran so theyre its not your business and we get to do business with whoever the hell we want to do brothers well why dont they just say that. Thats what they should do thats what we all should do we have no sanctions against iran you can have them if you like but while way is a chinese phone and were going to sell them in iran well that you like or not but thats not what theyre doing in there because theyre really the long and the short of it rick yeah i know but theyre very sensitive about it which is why theyre even going after their own people it was like if you tell your son or id tell my son be careful what you say out there we dont want the neighbors to know that were our catholic you know right i mean. Not in my not my dont know because i dont believe in how i doing these things and the chinese shouldnt try and hide it they should face down this pressure we have no sanctions against iran we are going to trade with them whether you like it or not yeah but this Halfway House is really one talking about neither one thing entirely nor the other mother fish nor follow that can get you into trouble if you walk down the middle of the road youll be hit by the cars coming both ways yeah tell the truth and that way you dont have to remember what you said i love it i thank you george as usual good conversation its a fascinating story it really is but heres another one this is one of the most remarkable economic stories of our time suddenly the price of oil went negative negative right thats less than 0 i know not good would be so i try to maybe do that for myself all the stories about this when it happened suddenly started focusing on up Big Oil Companies on wall street on the banks on the losses to the industry but who were the real losers in all of this who were the real loser is joining us now to add to that question is the queen of the biz bead or self christine cohosts of the bust and shes also one of the best market analysts i know so how about it christy who was the big loser when this really happened. Well its a very weird world that we now live in where we have this negative pricing on oil where you get paid to actually hold oil and you also have a negative Interest Rate in some parts of the world so i wonder when were going to get negative Interest Rates as in the us but to answer your question the biggest loser in this entire oil trade this month in earlier in april for the may context is actually the Retail Investors i mean i Retail Investors are people who are not on wall street they are retail traders mom traders who invest. And there Charles Schwab accounts t. D. Ameritrade retail traders now how to tell traders invest in oil is through e. T. F. Through the u. S. So yes its a its an investment structure designed to give every tell investors exposure because theyre not theyre not liquid have to buy these massive Oil ContractsOil Contracts are traded in futures in a 100 in a 1000 barrels per lot future contracts so because it was so popular or oil traders and wall street they typically never keep positions into expert because thats when the dries up and wall street knows that we tell traders however all decide to pile into us so e. T. F. In recent weeks given that depress prices hoping to make a quick pop because they thought that well prices were too low and its impossible to go negative they never heard of such a thing the u. S. Surgeon represent about 30 percent of the contracts outstanding so when the music stopped and oil expert a date came last week they were the ones holding the ha potato when the music stopped and retail traders were still on the made up contracts into that week because they dont systematically roll their products so not only that they suffer a huge loss getting completely wiped out retail traders actually went negative because they held onto a contract that they did not understand not realizing that this is a contract that could go negative which is only traditionally something that only happens when you short something not long something so that just to make it perhaps a little more understandable to somebody out there looking at numbers lets suppose i was. One of those places that i had a 1000. 00 how much did i lose if i had a 1000. 00 on Something Like this you lost more than a 1000. 00 because everything went negative and we tell terrorism for she didnt understand the complexities of the futures market and as a result this oil u. S. O. E. T. F. This thing suckered more than 5000000000. 00 in assets mainly from Retail Investors and basically a prized all in just one week this has now been dubbed the show retail killer the little guy got screwed why am i not surprised chris. As usual youre so good thanks so much for taking us through and explaining something most of us did not know all right there you have it thats our new sexual much for being with us if you have some friends of the for newscaster stop by the left of a column or hear him tell about all the big began. As the u. S. Economy was booming growing numbers of people when they need us. You can work 40 hours d in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the only evidence of the reality of it is that were not financially equality and the lack of Affordable Housing or living minimum wage give many people no choice. Thats been a problem with the city will always turn around and told me stay away all this. Stuff thats worth it if there is no answer because yes that requires resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible clerks. Thief. C. C. Greetings and sal you take shit you know i opened up the Merriam Webster dictionary today and found some of the many definitions of liberty they are the power to do as one pleases or the power of choice 11 definition that has been tossed around in political circles and rallies for the definition of liberty a lot these days is that liberty is the freedom from arbitrary or despotic control and it was apparently this particular definition that led hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of us citizens across the country from michigan and minnesota down to texas and up to colorado to throw down their face masks and rubber gloves and take to their streets their capitol buildings and their governors residences in protest of the social
