Waltzes to get him into british waters. U. K. Party leader nigel for raj accuses the french navy of a scorching Illegal Migrants directly into british waters amid a sharp spike in the number of refugees trying to cross the channel. Every year chiming in from across the globe this hour a welcome to our to International Pleasure to have your company i mean oneill. The u. S. Has announced its ripping up another major arms control agreement called open skies raising fears about Global Security the treaty how to load signatories to reconnaissance flights over each others turf trees donald trump plays russias the blame for forcing washington art a claim thats not going down well in moscow. I think we have a very Good Relationship with russia but russia didnt adhere to the treaty so our job they are here we will pull out but theres a very good chance or make a new agreement or do something to put that agreement back together when many consequences the americans the Current Administration conceptually fundamentally have an aversion to any kind of control over American Military activity especially when that control is exercised on or over u. S. Territory solution with other countries follow the americans i doubt it most europeans seem to me to understand that the agreement has added value as an instrument of trust and instrument of predictability transparency and that is how we see it. Lets get some background on more knowledge from our. Good to see you the move by the white house its caught many by surprise bring us up to speed at what were actually looking at here. While weve seen this time and time again its wrong to Trump Administration the president has never been shy about tearing up you know Standing International treaties from the paris climate agreement to iraq. And very often the pretext get bench is that the conditions had been violated by someone other than the u. S. Of course and this latest story about america with touring from the open skies treaty very much follows this worrying pattern as moscow. Unfortunately it fits the policy of the Us Administration and undermine all do agreements in the sphere of arms control. But its not just russia is concerned by this of course the open skies treaty is a crucial khulna states all arms control it brings Transparency Trust and peace between stuckey 5 countries as they are allowed to carry out im not into consciousness flight over which of those territories so its unsurprising that the fantasy of a massive betrayal of all those case signatures they seat the open skies as a hugely beneficial it will have to be kept alive at all costs so Little Wonder then as decision has been met by the International Community to the great deal of concern and of course fears that a major blow has been doubt to Global Security we reiterate our concern regarding the erosion of the us russia arms control regime i think we can stress enough that this arms control regime has provided security benefits for the entire its entire International Community by constraining strategic arms competition ending search agreements without anything to replace them could result in destabilizing activities such as a dangerous new arms race leading to a possible miscalculation i very much regret the announcement by the Us Government that it intends to withdraw from the open skies treaty the treaty as an important part of the european arms control architecture by withdrawing the United States would significantly reduce the scope of the open skies treaty and weaken the whole regime the Us Governments decision will take effect after 6 months during this time we will work intensively with there are like minded partners to make the Us Government withing their decision. So clearly that he did not die doesnt it was to hit islam and also did not even talk of setting off a distinction here but lets not lets look at that and not get right with the last one the soviet era missile agreement on the i actually take and just as were saying now then to washington pointed the finger at russia that of course triggered fears of a new arms race similarly what we saw ringback last year was of course. Of course you had the shocking withdrawal of the u. S. From iraq and you know a deal blaming iran of course and that was despite widespread this that could even cause a war another war in the middle east who incidentally are not and he started straddling the country calls with sanctions state this is a clear policy from the trumpet ministration and one that does not seem geared towards peace and stability just before we go to i guess for some more reaction you showed us the International Picture whats been said what about within the us the south whats the political situation the reaction to trumps announcement. Well it stateside somehow voiced support for the decision they say that the american america doesnt need the open skies treaty you know we can get the same energy at no cost to satellites rather than add props but there is not actually got widespread consensus on what this administration moves forward with a precipitous unilateral withdrawal from the treaty the United States will be less safe and secure open skies remains our only ability to get direct access to russian airfields and airspace and every experienced operational commander knows all too well the satellite simply cant do it all. So there is a lot of criticism from all sides around this an announcement that allows a certain administrator barry so much to this happening including some pushback from congress they actually might need to sign off in a civil cause be following to see how that all plays out but regardless this latest move from washington is really not that clear example of donald trump seemingly undermining global stability and opening a new one such a trap day in arms control and of course in u. S. Russian relations. Saskia thanks for breaking all that down for us artists ask it in our life ok lets cross ny to former british editor of William Mallinson whos been listening in there william always good to have you on the show in Global Security well what do you reckon what is this night spent this end of the training. This possible end of the treaty represents i think the latest in a long line of insults to International Cooperation and International Law it means increasing chaos which goes against. The hetero arche the multilateral concept because as we know the u. S. Still wants to be very much number one and make its own rules its also quite clear that the what i can call loosely is the american deep state the major shareholders of the Arms Companies want an arms race was also remember the president ial elections and that a lot of republicans. Wanted this to happen so trump is doing it it looks a bit like a sort of high low poker actually which is rather irresponsible now there are a lot of other connections dont forget the various polish politicians have said that theyre prepared to put american Medium Range MissilesNuclear Missiles on their territory so i see a connection there as destabilizing. Its also represents the spitting if you like a few years and years of very hard work by literally thousands of diplomats and experts who spend their lives from creating these treaties and then suddenly bang its gone but lets not be too pessimistic about this particular one yet because trump has opened the door to renegotiation so i thinks in some ways back at some part of the media being a bit hysterical i could go on ive got a lot to say about iran and anything else but fire away we dont question. Just to pick up on one of the points you made there about hard hard fought do you know a lot of people behind the scenes working out contracts or agreements over a long period of time its not of course william the 1st hard while no agreement trumps the administration has cast aside whats the end game to all this. The end game will after the iran day buckler. After the withdrawal in 2002 and also dont forget after the un the law of the sea conference with the us is still not ratified and dont forget the biological Weapons Convention the chemical Weapons Convention which could be the next one so the long term aim is for i think from the point of the Us Administration deed state is simply to reshape. The world in its own image which i think its extremely dangerous because that is the recite for chaos and war and theyre upping the ante and i think its stream irresponsible and i can only hope that you know trump will see sense but dont forget that he is pressurized now by his own party and the big large owners of the military Industrial Complex and all this only less than 2 years after trump met putin in helsinki and spoke good words so there is a danger of chaos and this could have a dangerous knock on effect. I think europes on the spot now because if europe. Remains at all european comes remain in this with russia they may come to a more intelligent arrangement which could actually end up isolating the u. S. So there are all kinds of them if its winter time is just against it i wish we had more just to delve deeper but former british diplomat William Matson life thank you very much as always goblets. Washingtons foreign policies arent making friends elsewhere in the world it appears for china once again the target in a move which could see it for it for us its more a not a little later. Theres a story brewing had political one in the English Channel u. K. The Party Leader Nigel for arch has accused the french navy of a scoring a legal migrants into british waters it comes after a sharp spike in numbers trying to cross the sea and the covert 1000 outbreak charlot events can princess more. To battle for the control of the English Channel or if you prefer a lot more shes been raging between britain and france for centuries but things that really just go out a bit hotter the leader of one British Political Party has accused france of assisting with an invasion of Illegal Migrants what we know. Is that a president who will battle has been saved its called save. Out of red borders to get him in the british borders better off. That accusation comes at a time when illegal crossings all on the rise more than 1500. 00 have already been detected attempting to reach a shores in the 1st 5 months of the c. A. A. Thats getting close to the number of the entire its really trying to back in 2019 years almost haul off of the arrivals since the start of the u. K. s lock down at the end of march as fuel trucks were crossing in between the 2 countries migrants have now turned to the sea many of those trying to cross our parent the unaccompanied you its what we used to see was that those young people would come through lorries and that was the typical route now what weve seen is these unaccompanied young people are in the boat nigel farrar she says the situation is outrageous so the big friends and i will battle now has gone a done the job they brought a school to that little being here on the left there into british borders theyve now left their own rib of the big vessel just to make sure theyre safe until the handover to the bald eagles however there is plenty of evidence to show that french patrol boats are in fact stopping migrant vessels from leaving french waters last week 17 migrants were rescued at sea and brought back to the port of kauai. A buy a patrol boat thats already had quite a busy year there also ongoing discussions between the u. K. And french government sister how to deal with this issue the brits want to bring in new legislation which would mean that any Illegal Migrants that apprehended on the scene or even on the land will be deported back to france meanwhile the u. K. s home secretary pretty much how has admitted that the french dont have the easiest of jobs at the moment were using drones for use in helicopters to use night vision goggles you name it to a usenet the issue that we have is that the model of the species that is being patrolled is most in france and these individuals the criminal gangs are using all sorts of tactics some cover some of the more than 10 people smugglers. Convicted and imprisoned since the beginning of this year but as long as there are people who can pay them they will continue to carry out their illegal trade whether thats stuffing migrants on to or into the back of refrigerator trucks what doesnt change though is that peoples lives are always being put in danger geology r. T. Harris just a note on this story we have contacted the French Interior ministry for its reaction to the issue and any response we will bring it to you. Ok moving on now the World Health Organization has reported the highest number of confirmed cases in one day since the start of the prick last year that as the number of infections globally surpassed 5000000 the countries with the most confirmed cases currently the us russia brazil and the u. K. And while the race for an effective treatment is on the w. H. O. Has warned against the use of the anti malaria medicine hydroxy chloroquine which has been tarted on the deed used by president trump. Lot of good things have come out about the hydroxy a lot of good things of course. And youd be surprised at how many people who take it especially the front line workers before you catch it. The frontline workers many many are taking it i happen to be taking it i happen to be taking. Her drugs. For the w h os recommendations seem to fall in on deaf ears in brazil where the government has recommended the use of the drug to treat covert 19 patients thats led to queues of pharmacies across rio causing a drastic shortage of stock the country has been hard hit by the virus with more than 20000 deaths attributed to it. We heard from the w. H. O. Spokeswoman dr margarets horace about the progress being made in the fight against the virus. Testing tracing tracking treating the as the full payload you have to know way of viruses you have to know whos got it and youve got it we have to separate those people from the Healthy People people need to be aware that they need to identify themselves as potentially at risk so its not just simply having teams its also having the Community Larry aware of whats going on and how they can help. And antibody tests gives you a number and it says you have got this level of that particular antibody and there are 3 different types of antibodies one of them tells you youve had it recently another one says that youve developed some longer lasting response to it but what it doesnt tell you is whether the longer lasting response will protect you from the 2nd in fiction. The term that really needs to be used all the time here is ease you ease it slowly and gently you test the waters you try Different Things and ensure that when youve tried Different Things your limiting the crowding and you are absolutely obsessional about the hand hygiene absolutely obsessional about the restricted protection every time a new thing is planned like opening schools all those things have to be put into consideration. We know it came from the horse you bet but we believe there was an intermediate host and we want to understand better the dynamics that led to it jumping from that intermediate host into the human population now that work is ongoing there are still a lot of dont knows but remember this new virus arrived in el population at the end of last year and were not even halfway through this year so we actually know how mole than we have have known about a new virus in human history. The global herd changed rapidly through to the pandemic and so has the behavior of people in the world well take you through the new tribes which form through covert 19 to the brain. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. 20 minutes into the program youre very welcome back washington accuse china of seeking a geo political and economic confrontation with the u. S. In a scathing policy paper that also singles id be using for its quote or thora tarion moves the document but another dent in an already battered relationship with some saying it could bring about the start of a new type of cold war and picks up the story for us. The anti china hysteria is growing latest move is the u. S. Senate approving legislation that would ban Chinese Companies from being listed on u. S. Stock exchanges and raising money from american investors i would not turn my back. On the Chinese Communist party. If they were to day to day had they cheat and ive got a bill to stop them from cheating u. S. Leaders blame china for the coronavirus arms latest tweets go as far as accusing china of mass killings around the world this while china has just ledged 2000000000. 00 to the global efforts against the pandemic open to increase International Cooperation china will provide 2000000000. 00 u. S. Dollars over 2 years to help with the covert 19 response and with economic and social development in affected countries especially developing countries one u. S. Leaders slammed the move saying it was not enough chinas contributions to fight in the pen demick are paltry compared to the costs that they have imposed on the world this plague has cost roughly 90000. 00 american lives more than 36000000. 00 americans have lost their jobs since march globally 300000 lives could be as much as 9 trillion dollars according to our estimates cost imposition on the world by the Chinese Communist party failures as rhetoric gets cranked up phrases like cold war are being thrown around a look we are really on a cold war footing when it comes to dealing with china and other things we can use in Foreign Policy sanctions and other things diplomatic economic i think were entering a new cold war in many ways to be honest in call that call it what it is now because it was the start of a new cold war i dont want to have a cold war with china. I would rather see us. Work together. For the common good. Of the planet earth. And we travel that have morphed out real well us media seems to be following the same script speculations about how far this will go keep popping up some say this will be disastrous for the Global Economy others are placing bets on winners and losers chinese leaders in turn are saying that they want peace and dialogue even to millions of good usually both sides benefit from cool and stand to lose in confrontation decoupling and deal includes not so why arent we the us to discuss the end dated cold war mentality and 0 something can to beijings calls are falling on deaf ears poll shows that one in 3 americans now use china as an enemy instead of a Global Community unite to defeat them and demick were now seeing blame and polarization rising very quickly the stereotype in a certain sense where china is this evil genius that is capable of creating this this pathogen that invades and destroys america and trump even characterizes a as an attack that eclipses pearl harbor. But at the same time you know this is contrast to a narrative that china is unable to china didnt do a good job managing it and get this combination of evil genius and completely inept illegitimate government is really just operated opportunistically trying to exploit any kind of negative narrative that can be imagined and promoted as a Conspiracy Theory by lee you know to distract others from failures in these cases thats his Central Operating principle is to blame others although i dont think we can really have a cold war like before i think people are imagining it and pushing us toward Something Like it. So its deeply worrisome. It may be the most obvious thing i say today but for pretty much all of us the pandemics turned life. Weve been forced to stay in our homes constantly etc but it has also seemingly divided society into new sets of groups probably boy who has been breaking down the boundaries for us used to be all left vs right or prowar and the e. U. Or us whatever else but nowadays society is split along our all new different set of fault lines here are 5 coronavirus try which one is your was. First stop is the. This group houses and they all super proud of all the good that theyre doing they also tend to have biggest thousands on the margins gardens and actual jobs which they can do from something called a study they are fantastic and then let you know it with all those social media posts that they do have their Beautiful House kids. With the state home. Next up and. You know hes not saying stuff like hes just an almost a cold or grandad was going to die anyway however they justify it theyre just not interested in letting a quote freshest government leave me their freedoms you find them protesting angrily for their right to have a beer and a haircut and after that youll find them in the hospital on a ventilator recovering from a nasty cold. Hypocrite who discombobulating mix of the remaining. Downers mug her signallers will keep up the facade of following all the rules while also going out her shopping for the teas 3 times a day or casually driving to their weekend home or. Eating out with their girlfriends. Next clicks on calls include scotlands former chief medic former top adviser the owner just and anyone in power. Yes its this. Neighborhood and they spend all day long lease area of the building just dreaming as we live but it soon as you leave the house to buy you wont read in your state will help the police and make sure that your wrongfully lock down for good. And finally this money group wouldnt be complete without the conspiracists are the people who think that kind of 19. 00 is just a bill gates plan to get everyone to buy windows 27. 00 although the government is just trying to wipe out and all that fine she is down in the virus straight into your brain and impressive 2 seconds as long as your cell plan is up to date whatever the theory as long as there is no proof theyll tell you about it but as.
