Its a pool its in a cares about the anti china protest is in hong kong with these very measures its precisely that outreach from poland who suffer the most theyll no longer be able to travel visa preety the u. S. Potentially not even started that and it Companies Got cold feet and they say theres just too much uncertainty in hong kong im going to move my office elsewhere well thats fewer jobs and its also less Foreign Investment which puts of course hong kongs reputation as one of the best International Financial hubs in the wild 7 well that puts it in jeopardy and not a major point from friday speech the u. S. Will be a separate ties with the World Health Organization maybe not a massive surprise given the donald trump has consistently accused the w. H. O. Of being involved in a cover up with china. Chinese officials ignored their reporting obligations to the World Health Organization and pressured the World Health Organization to mislead the world when the virus was 1st discovered by chinese authorities. Critics say these are political games trump is just trying to generate new headlights and so detract from from his mishandling of the pandemic that has claimed over 100000 u. S. Lives lets not forget the pools that 2020 is Election Year donald trump definitely wants to go and look to decisive and strong as we inch closer to november thought also the past events have shown us that Trump Supporters reading rally around him when he sets up an enemy bible that crooked Hillary Clinton or c. P. Joe frighten so having a tough stance on china might well help him recover in the polls and yet at the same time he didnt want to do anything so tough that for example as with jewelry from the u. S. China trade deal that. Americas economic recovery would be handed and so his reelection chances which the jacket dies now regardless of the reasoning behind all of this this will and of course beijing and everyone is expecting retaliation but thats such me not predicting that china is going to back down. I dont think they will succeed in using any means to threaten the Hong Kong Government because we believe what we are doing is right. So thats the latest downturn in the rocky relationship between the 2 nations weve seen prolonged trade war with a tit for tat measures for that and of course the blame game when it comes to code that 90 but now looks like hong kong is who are in the middle i might well end up with Collateral Damage in the rivalry between the u. S. And china. Thank you for those days. Were joined live now by joseph revery mahoney a professor of politics of the chinese diversity welcome to the program its great to have you with us now lets get straight into it trump revoking Hong Kong Special status are you surprised by this move. Im not surprised and given my connections in beijing among policymakers as well as financial analyst in shanghai in fact this this development was expected sooner or later in fact many people expected it to come last year its part of a long standing trend where trump never misses an opportunity to hit china and in fact you know although this is being. Framed at the end of hong kong in fact talk was already being treated as part of china by the Trump Administration was already suffering in many respects under the trade war so this is really not that big of a development its its its a dramatic statement but it was expected i think that hes going to have more from chinas decision china hong kong. Well i think at this point we really ought to understand that anything that hurts china hurts hong kong and anything that hurts hong kong hurts china hong kongs position over time has always been in large measure even when it was part of the the u. K. With its closeness and ability to to work with china even even during the mao years but unfortunately china has been victims of excuse me hong kong has been victimized many times over by this there are real problems that have driven local anger but these have been turned been exploited by outside forces people who are opposed to the taiwan unification trying to ministration who wants to use this is a Pressure Point on china so unfortunately all of this is going to hurt long kong. Ok you know its still going ahead with a joint summit with china this september do they have a different style for the u. S. When it comes to economic ties economic ties with hong kong more important to brussels. As we all know the e. U. Is really struggling not only but a number of systemic problems. Some some political dissent across Different Countries and the e. U. Really on the one hand depends on the motoring trade but china on the other hand there are thoroughly depended on the United States for key for security and trump has sought to exploit this its created a lot of pessimism from what im hearing from contacts in european capitals they fear that theyre being forced to choose at a time when they really cant afford to take either path the u. K. Has hinted it could open a path to citizenship for some 300000 hong kong residents just think this is an attempt to reassert some control over its form a territory. I dont think so i think that the u. K. Given its long history and legacy with hong kong has to respond in some way and indeed given Boris Johnsons relationship with trump has to kind of go along with the narrative but on the other hand the u. K. Is also invested heavily in recent years on promoting economic ties with china they also face their own economic problems with rex its and i suspect that well see a balancing act for example as more Chinese Companies are pulling out of the United States out of the u. S. Stock exchanges i think well see the London Stock Exchange quietly welcoming the welcoming them into the u. K. So this Gregory Mahoney professor of politics at the east China University thank you for your time. Now donald trump and twitter have locked horns on friday a tweet by the president about the riots in minnesota was hidden by the social platform and the tweet trump slams the rioters in minneapolis saying the military supports the governor he also warns that if there was looting there would be shooting twitter sees the post violates its rules about glorifying violence quarter picks up the story. Donald trump and twitter are clashing swords it all started with the president s tweet about mail in voting his claim that they could lead to fraud was slapped with a fact check labeled by the social media giant and now trumps dishing out some executive punishment what they choose to fact check and what they choose to ignore or even promote is nothing more than a political Activism Group or political activism and its an appropriate executive orders targeted at major social media platforms and aims to trim down Legal Protections that have long let these companies censor content without liability however trumps liberal opposition seems to think the president is giving this debacle way too much Attention Congress out there triggered this morning conference of the treaty we dont yet know how exactly trumps order will make any legal difference but hes clearly sending a message that these social media corporations do not have a monopoly on truth strangely enough an unlikely ally has come forward to support trump a leader from the very industry that hes at odds with but i dont think. Facebook or forms in general should be arbiters of truth i think thats kind of a dangerous line to get down to in terms of deciding what is what is true and what isnt. And i think political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy and people should go to see what politicians say at the same Time Facebook announced its now verifying the identities of important people in its war on distant from ation what a coincidence a number of democrats have already called zuckerberg out for what they saw as pandering to trump as far as it platforms are concerned they want 2 things from the federal government no regulation and no taxes and so they cater to the trumpet ministration all the time i think that my telco barracks statement was a disgrace suck about this not worried about being bullied by trump. Hes worried that facebooks p. R. Operation is falling apart as its exposed that that platform relies on White Supremacists and dissing from a should populace to be successful they are ignoring them that protecting them the liberals are fighting a 2 front war though both against trump and twitter one of their latest weapons against the platform is a Watchdog Group called accountable tech it was founded by a former aide to the Obama Administration and another influential liberal activist they say the organization exists to combat what it considers misinformation and counting able to push for social media platforms to take immediate meaningful and achievable actions to better serve the public and leave up to their founding ideals at least republicans and democrats can agree on mistrusting social media criticisms of platform bias have come from both Political Parties these people are all democrats its totally biased toward democrats if i announce tomorrow that im going to become a nice liberal democrat i would pick up 5 guys who were probably in the can people know that the president has no qualms about lying to them but it is a shame to sit with sources of news for millions do the same new elections are on americas doorstep and both parties are competing for the all encompassing control over information that social media provides the sad part is that whoever wins it seems like someones freedom of speech will be going out the window. Meanwhile as the u. S. Struggles with social unrest in the worlds whilst covert 19 situation is once booming Oil Shale Industry is also in trouble so big names in the field have already filed for bankruptcy over the past 2 months with over a dozen more reportedly preparing to do so in the near future as you can see the share prices of multiple u. S. Oil drillers quoted in the new york Stock Exchange have been on the downward trajectory of late a preexisting lack of confidence on the part of an. This is not being compounded by a major slump in Oil Consumption caused by the pandemic and its not just us not only the us the oil industry this bearing the brunt says many of us that is are also under pressure due to the lockdown gnashes this is led to a dramatic spike in the number of job loss americans over the past 2 months with a number of those filing for Unemployment Benefits reaching levels unheard of since the Great Depression earlier i spoke to max kaiser whos a former stockbroker and cofounder of the hollywood Stock Exchange author of the shell industrys existential threat for the reasons that weve talked about before the industry is too highly leveraged and sacked the end history of the shale industry was never ever going to see a profit the amount of cash that goes in was always going to be more than the amount of cash you could get out its been cash flow negative from the beginning its basically an industry supported by the junk bond market and the junk bond market is supported by the Federal Reserve in money printing and nice demands from various sources put the number of americans employed directly or indirectly in the shell industry at either 10000000 and all these people going to end up on the dole to. Right unemployment in america is doing higher and not just the sick shale industry but its across the board almost every industry is getting impacted by the revelation by the market suddenly that americas got too much debt you know american the American Economy for the past 2025 years says been pumped up with artificially cheap rates money printing and faulty or fake accounting even a big bank like bank of america recently put out a report citing the Federal Reserve bank in washington d. C. As engaging in market fakery theyre like theyre accusing the head of faking markets faking prices the fed is buying junk bonds they actually bought up a security that has the Ticker Symbol j and k. It stands for junk bond and they theyre buying these by the billions hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars so the way i kind of describe this nicky is that this is part 2 of the 2008 financial crisis so in 2008 the Global Financial crisis hit and instead of reforming the system so that we wouldnt have a repeat of all that the american policymakers did was give Central Banks and wall street banks a bigger line of credit to do the exact same thing but much bigger and of course the results quite predictable are a much worse crisis and the administration to its credit may have to raise Unemployment Benefits but be a package when be extended posture line 31st now is it realistically possible to ensure within the coming 2 months that most of those who have lost their jobs will find new ones. Now but heres where heres the remarkable thing that is that when these benefits that have been pumped into americas working class hit the Bank Accounts it suddenly was determined and this is borne out by the statistics that american incomes have gone up dramatically recently based on this injection of funds from the government that shows conclusively that before these subsidies checks that were sent out to americans being unemployed that americans by and large are living on subsistence wages america is a nation of subsistence wages and you know the subsistence wages are just one step above slave wages you know i joke that all this money printing requires a lot more dollars and dollars are made of cotton so america to feed the money printers may return to an agricultural cotton producing country you know get down there pick some cotton so that the central bank can print money print or go burrow. 100 to french medics into the streets of paris on thursday that angry about low salaries on top to stop shortages. The doctors and nurses marched while drinking they held a placard denouncing their working conditions are spaced a word fight already have only got worse during the pandemic the government has agreed to engage in talks with the sector and medics want to make sure their grievances are heard. Is a democracy in this crisis situation was badly managed badly and to separate it has been a shortage of mosques and i grew up wholly jell work with expired mosques and the large Public Hospital in paris were not heroes but we were sacrificed. As such as if we had had enough resuscitation bats we wouldnt have been obliged to transform the recovery rooms in an emergency the operating theatres with voluntary staff who didnt have the qualifications we wouldnt have improvised the resuscitation nurse overnight well there would have been fewer deaths they have these deaths on their conscience 2. Im not going to destroy the things that we were already protesting before corbett and it is important to continue after it is over because it exposed certain things this new health plan that was announced last monday didnt convince us at all we havent seen anything concrete yet we will not be convinced to get medals and promises we are expecting something strong. Christoper at home a spokesperson for the French Association of emergency doctors elaborate on why there is so much discontent in the sector. We are extremely unhappy with the way the government is responding to our demands when it comes to saving the Automotive Industry the government is willing to announce concrete figures at the moment we have only vague promises without any numbers when we ask about salary increases the amount of funding should be specified but there are no concrete proposals for the government yet despite the fact that for a year now weve been demanding very simple things we are asking for additional stuff later the number we need as well as a net pay rise of 300. 00 euros for all our Health Care System is in bad shape and we are well aware of it however the Prime Minister himself says that the controversial my health 2022 law is a good law that today the task is not to change it but to speed up its implementation speeding up its implementation means closing down and transforming 300. 00 local hospitals there will be no attorney to use surgical boards in these hospitals this is not at all what we want. Senior Police Figures in the u. K. Says its become now impossible to enforce the countrys lockdown after the Prime Ministers top aide kept his job despite flouting the rules and West Midlands police and crime commissioner says theyre using Dominic Cummings his actions as an excuse. Officers on the ground are reporting things like if each ok for cummings its ok for us too if the rules are flexible and the people seem to have interpreted them who are part of government almost impossible then to Police Officers to be able to carry out the job of cryptically Dominic Cummings one of the architects of the u. K. s lockdown sparked an outcry after driving hundreds of miles with his wife and child with a suspected case of covert 19 Prime Minister baraks johnson has vehemently denied defended his chief advisor who tried to explain his actions at a special press conference in downing street rose garden with anger still high over the incident johnson has resisted calls calls from m. P. s for inquiry ive commented on it i think you know my my views i really dont propose to add to it and quite frankly i dont want certain right now an inquiry into that matter is a very good use or should working flat out on. And pays at both within the conservative party and from the opposition are still calling for cummingss head to roll when asked londoners what they think. It seems that the government is not really doing anything for us especially for the people actually in the boy for their own situation right and for someone to set the rules and then break them like how is that even possible do they think its not serious anymore im not sure whats changed or what is it because they think its not the people be the way just to be safe. You shouldnt be doing it to show example 47 years ago for the 1st time you know thats pretty much my take but if its not for the prosecution its on it feels like its basically saying go ahead be outside do whatever you like to stay care of yourself and benefit the economy rather than the people. There are just undermines public trust in the system and people are going to by the rules of the consequences i think the message of course truthfully it raises some. Everyday for them to come to my mind for my profit which. Happens you almost want to sort of. Do something break it because they dont thats a problem cultic response but i think that some people thought that. Animal Rights Organization pater is using the kobe crisis to urge people to go vegan billboard saying tofu never caused a pandemic have appeared in 4 of americas hardest hit states we launched this nationwide campaign to remind people that the Meat Industry breeds killer diseases and that everyone can help prevent the next viral outbreak by living the can now peter claims that animal markets and meat money factories are responsible for the pandemic in iowa one of its billboards was put up right outside a meat plant the campaign now strong criticisms from sun who accuse the organization of exploiting peoples feelings. I find it very insensitive for peta to have a billboard that states tofu would never cause a pandemic just a few miles from one of and j. C. Largest Health Care Systems filled with people who are fighting for their lives right now not the right time peter. Imagine years in the pandemic where people are suffering to push it and. Wow using the fear pandemic to use as a way to shove your propaganda on us this makes me sick for your taking this pandemic as a chicks piece this pandemic is killing people overwhelmed doctors even having people fresh out a med school dont. We put the issue up for debate dr carries about it from pay to your k. And Patrick Holden from the Sustainable Food trust discuss whether veganism can really save people. This might be a fun but its deadly serious 18000 people who work in meat packing factories have been infected with that 90 day conditions that people have to work in at meat packing factories and in avatars is absolutely atrocious need to sympathize with the plight of people who work there now often a minimum wage they have very long hours its physically demanding job is in close contact 2nd rhinovirus can jump from one person to another piece dont want to see that and if the abuse of humans and animals we want these meat packing facilities to be part of history we need to go vegan in order to protect ourselves as well as animals and the environment i think that intensive livestock production factory farming about the malls is an ethical and sustainable we should all be appalled by those kind of systems of production but your throwing the baby out with the bathwater that youre also saying we should extend our practice to becoming completely legal and thats where im challenging you i believe that. There is a different way a better way were at it was kind of a compassionate they looked after and ferrets during their lives as i am doing it by dairy for me so see i was being happy during its life and the conditions of its death what was going to say possibly d could be thats an ethical choice i feel comfortable with patrick i do applaud your aims of more Sustainable Farming and better conditions for adams but weve got to look at the facts it doesnt matter how good the animals life has been and however big the field as they may be living in no animal wants to die for you put yourself in that place and you were taken to the average. What you and created of course you wouldnt it is an ethical to eat other animals and we dont need to do it in the stone age what i would say to you is that both of the traditional reasons and saw fit to see reasons livestock the right kind of livestock manager in a compassionate way need to be part of the Sustainable Farming systems and as always you have got ethical objections its perfectly right and sensible to eat those products the live animal market would have and was the source of the outbreak for the coronavirus where the infection spread so rapidly because of the huge number of different species of animals that they were living in their own filth our investigations have showed theres just blood and guts at us absolutely disgusting but these conditions exist on modern farms around the world as well and weve seen pandemic outbreaks at the moment theres a massive virus infection going on with pigs african swine fever has killed millions of pigs we just dont know when the next virus is going to jump on animals to humans i believe that sustainable livestock production needs to be and will be an integral part of the sustainable whose systems we need for the future we the consuming public need to be able to differentiate between those 2. Systems which are on the go on saying theyre all part of the problem all those systems that have just been described and those which are in fact equally part of the solution and rather like the serenity prayer know the difference between the 2.
