For what it calls the illegal trespass of a warship off the shisha islands it doesnt stop there though china is now putting the United States on notice that its willing and capable to defend itself and then suggested that the United States should put aside its quote cold war mentality and take time instead to test and quarantine and sailors from further spread of covert 19 those are chinas words now this is a further escalation of the South China Seas controversy so let me help you visualize this ok lets do this lets go over to the map where i want to show you 1st of all lets start by explaining where this ashish island is because most people look at this and theyre starting to wonder where were talking about its right over here is part of the paris cell island by the way hes islands are tiny so its not like we could even show them on the map of we wanted to this ones off the coast of vietnam little further south these are the Spratly Islands so these are the parasol islands even. Spratly islands this whole area is filled with these islands and here and most of them are contested the entire area is called the South China Sea thats the point of contention states and the United States for its part has been engaging more and more in this region militarily and the app is what has china sewing gree so maybe the real question here is this what is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it. It contains 11000000000. 00 barrels of oil they have found 190. 00 trillion cubic feet of natural gas 10 percent of all the worlds fisheries reside right here 30 percent of the worlds shipping trade flows through these corridors 30 percent so this is why Everyone Wants it and china is doing everything it can to hold on to it so what exactly is china doing you know the expression youve heard this before right possession is 9 tenths of the law well chinas put into practice its literally taking possession of these islands and some that arent even islands or just shoals but theyre turning them into islands and theyre building them up ive got an example for you i want to give you an example of one of the one of the satellite images that were going to show you here you see that right there that is a runway and whats funny about this is this used to be just a shoulder rock some of it was underwater but theyve built it up i mean this is what a Remote Island now looks like and what they do is they use the fleets of the ships to go out they dredge the ocean floor they take out the sand they take out the rock to make these islands bigger and higher and then they build these runways and commercial and military establishments and buildings the argument that theyre using is look now we live here we own it and everything within 200 miles of it by maritime law so the u. S. Is accusing china by doing this kind of stuff of what it calls a revisionist argument and it said that its going to continue to deploy its navy the u. S. Navy into these waters for the protection of its allies china meanwhile is intensifying its threats to defend itself if the u. S. Continues to send warships there neither side wants a hot war obviously who does right but the sparring as word. Going to explain do you want a minute is continually getting hotter this is we think this is a really important story one that we all need to keep keep our eyes on here on the news of rick sanchez where we really do believe its time to do news again. Lets go with the question so heres the list of the questions we think youre going to be asking after watching this newscast just how far will china go d to assert its dominance of the South China Sea what exactly are the u. S. Northeast governors doing with Governor Cuomo of new york and why is the u. S. Military releasing u. F. O. Videos that now have japan making its own believe it or not u. F. O. d move. Focus in on that big story that we just told you about its a fascinating story the latest incident seems to have china particularly it happened off she shot islands as i was showing you. Here shes going to join us now to drill down on whats been happening this week this is starting to get very very serious and it sounds like if china was upset before theyre even more upset now thats right well heres what happened on tuesday the u. S. S. Barry right a wartime u. S. Naval ship actually entered into the part Paracel Islands or the schilens waters right kind of then said that it actually expelled this ship because it was trespassing illegally but actually there was even more then on wednesday a nother wartime u. S. Ship the u. S. S. Bunker hill actually entered into the waters around the Spratly Islands right so china in response to these 2 back to pack operations is calling the United States a troublemaker and said that berry was actually an intrusion into chinese territorial waters and in response to what happened at bunker hill heres what the p. L. O. Said heres the statement these provocative acts by the u. S. Side have deliberately increased region. Security risks and could easily trigger an unexpected incident. Its fascinating to see just. What a sense of possession china has been developing over time and usually because it feels militarily threatened or is it because of those billions of gallons of oil that we just talked about that are sitting underneath the sea well china would say that theyre actually responding right to u. S. Efforts to militarize this heres what the u. S. Is saying washington is basically saying that they dont recognize chinas claim to these parasail or the schilens rights and then this is not chinese waters those 30 islands that are known as the shishir Paracel Islands are controlled by beijing but theyre also claimed by taiwan and vietnam right by taipei and noise in terms of the u. S. S. Bunker hill the u. S. Says that this was just a freedom of navigation operation and what that means is because these are islands that are disputed very controlled by china but also by taiwan malaysia the philippines and vietnam that the navy actually came out with this statement heres what they had to say this freedom of navigation operation was consistent with International Law and actually meant to challenge the restrictions on innocent passage imposed by china and taiwan so basically what the u. S. Is saying is that because china is posing a threat to freedom of the seas the United States hostile Response Rate and thats what they did by moving around in these waters the fear is that this thing summer is going to be boy its going to boil over and now with the United States or entities in the media of the United States accusing china of the worldwide pandemic it seems like everything is escalating like to try to raise your kind of melding into one though absolutely tensions are rising and its bringing up the age old question right because the u. S. Is accusing china of militarizing the South China Sea to china is it causing the u. S. Of the same thing in the past of course china has said that the u. S. Uses these types of legal arguments like freedom of navigation to actually barge recklessly they say into their region china of course claims this entire region you know last week my pompei you actually accused china of deploying military ships to intimidate. Other countries some starting well and gas projects there so its a lot of he said she said china of course call this just deliberate provocation this is really a crazy blasting point when we really need to take a good look at michele good stuff thanks for bringing us the micro side of that story as we explain the macro side of that story and now as usual lets do the analysis George Galloway former u. K. M. P. Joining us now to take their support for us your impressions george over the top of this sudden incident that seems to be blowing up there in the South China Sea what is it. Well its you know that is similar to our recent discussion about the powers on golf and again the clue is in the name whoever has a claim on these islands it certainly isnt the United States of america which is a very long way indeed from the South China Sea neither was the United States navy acting on behalf of vietnam i dont need to remind you that this was the day in 1975 when the vietnamese people chased the American Ambassador off the roof of his embassy and neither is the u. S. Acting on behalf of malaysia or on behalf of the philippines it may or may not be acting on behalf of taiwan but Richard Nixon made a strategic decision a very long time ago that the United States relations were with china and that there was only one china. This is a very dangerous point that weve reached because china frankly is getting tired of being insulted and pushed around it and the danger is that they will take Decisive Action rick. Thats interesting that you would say that im going to just push back a little bit what if the United States were hold to the argument of look those islands were all controlled by the japanese prior to world war 2 certainly prior to the end of world war 2 after we the United States beat the japanese those islands really should belong to us right they could make that argument for some reason theyre not making it but china saying no it belong to the japanese they lost them we claim that because weve adam historically who wins that argument george. Will china last 20000000 people in the 2nd world war at the hands of the japanese 20000000 2nd only to russia in casualties in the 2nd world war that wont wash because chinas control of the South China Sea has been accepted for hundreds of years in International Law and International Practice so its too late to be resurrecting that and it looks like a pretext and it is a pretext drug trade war with china theres a propaganda war against china and no weve got the warships on the sea yeah and its getting worse and thats why were on it especially with these 2 incidents that michelle just brought to us a little while ago George Galloway always a pleasure thank you for taking us through that but we appreciate the expert commentary for that point of view this is the news of rick sanchez youre watching the news as it develops were going to have it all for you right here stay with us dont go away we welcome you no matter how you are watching us right here especially those of you who were checking in on portable t. V. I think thats kind of cool well be right back. Is youll be a reflect. Sure enough reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe from. Isolation full community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. Directly. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or unmaidenly shallowness. Of. Business like a horse race horse like the marathon there are 2 how good horse use. More than 200. 00 participants in this marathon and a question which takes me place out to save most lives and companies because its a matter of saving both. Water but im rick sanchez squad are there for us. Very there are a couple of big stories that have been developing throughout the course of day and what we try to do is keep you up to date on all the stories as they happen but the stay on top of the coronavirus you literally have to hit it every hour thats why we have been following things for us at the coronavirus update desk the global update desk what do you start with. Well lets start with the president made a Statement Today during his News Conference you know he does these News Conferences every day and it got quite a bit of attention the statement was essentially saying that the chinese lab in a. Lab that a lot of people have claimed that the corona virus began that he made a statement that the corona virus came out because of an accident or a mistake at that lab those were the words that he used mistake and then he said that he had seen evidence of this and i did not presume what the evidence was of the side but as you know this is a pretty controversial subject because the Chinese Government says it began at an open animal market where animals are slaughtered and that it came from some bats that were being sold there but others have claimed that it actually came from inside this lab for testing was being done in which you and i have talked about the u. S. Actually gave 3700000. 00 to the Chinese Government to study corona virus at that lab and so its a somewhat touchy subject but whats interesting to me in the media part of it is twitter has actually banned people from twitter for saying this the question will be how will they respond to the president saying well yeah and he just blurted it out without giving any kind of. Explanation or any kind of information to back up what he was saying is that how he did it really doesnt trump of course what he did this is the way he speaks it doesnt mean hes wrong it doesnt mean that hes right its the way he speaks he blurts things out and then the people around him scramble to try to fill in details or deny is that ok whats going on with d. C. Ok so d. C. This is a pretty interesting stories d. C. Is now extending their lockdown order their stay at home order it looks like until august but you right now looks like one of the longest in the country you know a lot of these states are looking at possibly sometime in may maybe even june but d. C. Is now saying mid august would be part of the plan there d and by the way late today in michigan there was discussion of doing the same thing extending the order there and protesters actually stormed the State Capitol this information just coming down stormed the State Capitol in michigan some of those protesters were armed i dont want to make it sound more salacious than it is they were they were its open carry there in michigan you can carry your weapon they were wary weapons they did not fire weapons but they did storm in some cases pushing their way in and demanding that the state reopen it was a pretty chaotic scene in michigan today they have a city would get the video and turn it around and by the way they make good arguments most of them when ive heard what they have to say unfortunately coming there with a weapon does not help their case it doesnt end but can i just say to michigan is one of the places where they have had some of the most ludicrous orders in their lockdown for instance yeah you can go to the store but you cant buy paints and you cant buy certain items that the governor has declared as nonessential items and it doesnt make any sense you can go into i know you can buy furniture i got a bellows where you heres another crazy out of chicago law if you have 2 homes you have to only choose one you cant go back and forth between them even though its your property and you live there. Thats right i dont usually have michigan michigan almost becomes the the center point of the most ludicrous rules and then we see in new york by the way that new york has Just Announced it will begin cleaning that subways between 1 am and 5 am every day you know why that is because theyve become now the place for Homeless People to sleep in new york there are apparently enormous numbers of Homeless People who are just kind of taken over the subways there because people are writing them and theyre sleeping in them so the city is now trying to find a way to move those people out they claim they need to clean them every day between 1 am and 5 am even though nobody is driving by the way back to michigan the governor just came out and said shes now going to allow people to hire people to cut their laws because originally that was considered landscaping was nonessential which means peoples people landscaping on their gravel just growing you know yards i. Yeah its michigan is the worst Case Scenario in terms of government overreach and its why a lot of people are speculating that Gretchen Whitmer the governor there that shes doing this because she wants to be chosen as v. P. As in the v. P. Slot but i think she is drawing so Much Negative attention. Even have a shot of yeah im not sure thats a smart strategy if thats what shes trying to do a great conversation as usual thanks for bringing us up to date on all of that. Theres a story this week the United States military in really a surprising move released the videos of u. F. O. s yes they did this or at it seems to imply a strange unexplainable objects videos of strange explainable objects moving and dodging and ways that no one seems to be able to understand here heres one of the video. Conference. With. Different. Pilot scribing something going 120 miles into the wind heres another one lets pick another one up diana yeah. Sure. You are going to the. Other Something Else today this morning japan. But it is developing a plan for its pilots in case they come in contact with us japan the country is saying its coming up. And to share with its pilots both commercial and military in case they ever have some kind of issues with u. F. O. s whats going on right joining us now by phone is pilot mark weiss who has spent years flying commercially for American Airlines hes a captain captain why sir thank you so much for joining us were so glad youre there what do you make of this and you ever seen anything like this. Were extensional much you know its an interesting phenomena and i think a lot of people are very skeptical about wanting to believe that there could be a rather lives out in the planetarium. Personally and in the years that i flew for the airlines ive never seen one the only experience that i personally had was when i was learning how to fly down in the cargo on the east coast United States on a on a moonlit night i saw an object in the sky that gene could dance around going very quickly but to be very honest i couldnt tell if it was a reflection of light or what you know the score and certainly being a young pilot i wouldnt want to say anything people would probably think i was crazy but i have heard of people experiencing phenomena like this and theres enough evidence out there to at least make you want to look into it further you cant be that much of a skeptic without having some questions in your mind when you could be in rio what do you make of these pilots you just heard their descriptions as we were showing the videos they sounded off and think they sounded like they were surprised by what they were seeing right well heck yeah i mean they certainly were surprised i mean you know you think about what it takes to get into the cockpit of a military plane and a testing and the psychological evaluations that you have to go through these people are not just going to take something and just go. And i think that to me. But because going to phenomena thats going round the Airline Pilots that have. Been tracking air Traffic Control and military would be years of something thats real and its out of character and you can work wow from you thats important mark weiss experienced captain with American Airlines for oh so many years good enough to join us here and take us through this really fascinating story thank you captain preshow your time. Well these days. Seems like normalcy compared to sports everything is upside down in your world but where they.
