A leaders called the 1st face to face summit in 5 months hoping to thrash out a deal on a massive rescue plan and 7 years but its. Ok for now and well be here in an hour with a full rundown of the latest world news in the meantime you can find plenty more on our website. Below from rhode island where i live as we are sticking close to home to starve that virus and no matter where you are you are navigating the perfect storm the virus is resurging in places that jump the gun on reopening the economy collapsed so many people are out of work a bad cop in minneapolis opened an old wound about racial injustice. Cities have seen riots so with all of this on our plate its understandable if we are tuning out some roiling hot spots elsewhere in the world which could eventually come back to haunt us where lets ask johnson leidys of washington based Trilogy Advisors he is a consultant to the u. S. State Department John long time no see and if you had to pick one what would you call the number one story elsewhere in the world that is being under reported here at home. Well thats being underreported i would say one of the most important developments the last few days following. The massive china iran oil for infrastructure deal its a 25 year deal worth about 400000000000. 00 and it provides a vital lifeline to iran and in many ways is regimes way of oil in the trumpet ministrations maximum Pressure Campaign on iran to get that country back to the negotiating table to put together a Better Nuclear Deal so i think thats going to be a story were going to have to watch very closely because its going to pretensions up and middle eastern politics and its certainly going to affect the Trump Campaign trumpet ministrations campaign to isolate iran so its going to be a major problem in the u. S. China relationship. When our president and their president meet theyre all smiles for the camera but what else does a china represent that it is a real ongoing threat to us. How and i would say in many ways the u. S. And china have a deteriorating relationship that is going to put both countries into a new cold war if we havent moved there already and it really comes from a sole on the sly strategy from beijing over the last 8 years under the leadership of president xi jinping made in china 2025 to achieve global dominance in advanced Breakthrough Technologies in ways that undermines Innovation Research the intellectual property in the United States and in europe the South China Sea strategy to claim international who are ways in violation of the United Nations convention on the law of this city as sovereign chinese waterways which greatly in dangerous free and open shipping and now we also see china through huawei trying to penetrate leading countries 5 g. Networks so theyll be installed in the years ahead in ways that will allow the Chinese Communist party a back door into the infrastructure in Telecommunications Networks of countries that could be used for sabotage purposes or otherwise to undermine economies of countries that are not obeying beijings directives. Yeah this is a real issue with 5 g. Being the plumbing of the self driving cars and a lot of the things that we are expecting in the perhaps near future john dateline hong kong both sides are dug in and the pictures arent pretty what do you predict is the inevitable outcome and how will that impact us here in that stack of bills on the kitchen table. Its a very important question us columned and unfortunately i think the near term future for homecoming is rather bleak this was a violation of the agreement that china had in and conducted with the United Kingdom that we grant autonomy and freedom for the 2 systems in one country for hong kong dating back to 1997 it was supposed to last 50 years and the chinese have withdrawn freedom and autonomy from hong kong 27 years prior to what was permitted under that agreement now we have the Trump Administration that has removed special privileges from hong kong and effectively treating that region as part of Mainland China but the us is also imposed sanctions on Chinese Government officials who are helping to implement a new National Security law in hong kong and the real question is where are the financial. Hong kong as a Global Financial hub its enjoyed that status for decades right now if its going to be treated just part of Mainland China do you have a banking giant such as h. S. B. C. Which is based in london and does about 60 to 80 percent of its profits in asia will it draw from hong kong and if it does how does china engage in that kind of high stakes Financial Transactions with the world at h. S. B. C. In hong kong have allowed this really no replacement for han concert china any time soon and ultimately its the citizens of hong kong who are being deprived of freedom and liberty thats maybe the saddest part of this story overall. There is a a Common Thread through everything you have said so far and it strikes me as cultural that we americans change our president s every 4 or 8 years we tend to think shorter term we havent got much of a cultural Attention Span it seems like china has a built in advantage because they think so far down the road is that simplistic. Its not simplistic at all im not sure its a good thing i think its very good that even though we have a democratic process that can often be messy here in the us and europe and other free who are democratic parts of asia i think when you have a dictatorship well dictators whether its the Chinese Communist party in china or whether its individual dictators and authoritarians in other countries they tend to believe theyre going to be in power absolutely perennially until their deathbed and so they tend to take a longer term strategy and especially in china where you have the communist party outlasting any individual leader they can take a 102030 year horizon in their planning it doesnt mean it will be effective and thats very important you can have gross incompetence when you dont have Democratic Politics and opposition parties in the light so i think it will depend on a case by case basis but if you want to talk about long term planning having a dictatorship certainly facilitates that. When you and i were sitting on the set 6 or 8 months ago there in washington the big headline was like golf a drone was shot down there was tough talk and it seemed like something was going to a pop at any moment other than this deal iran has made with china what is the status of anything in that tough neighborhood that could threaten the usa. The middle east being the middle east its going to be a troublesome region of the world for a long time to come im looking at 2 other areas right now one still involves iran because iran is such a maligned country line actor in that region and thats in syria where iran is proposing to install anti Aircraft Missile systems in syria in ways that will prevent israel from being able to attack hezbollah militia operations that are against israels National Interests in my own senses israel will not allow iran to deploy those missiles in syria and so if there is an effort to do so by the Iranian Military you may see conflict between israel and iran in syria and then a few 100 miles to the west collins you have a horrific civil war inside of libya just south of italy and its become a migration suv into the European Union for african Human Trafficking pipelines and you have a situation now where turkey and carter or working with one side russia egypt saudi Arabia France are working with the other side and you have a very very difficult situation at the u. S. Is looking to completely avoid and i believe President Trump means it when he says he doesnt want to get involved in what he calls stupid wars in the middle east so despite the best efforts of a number of our partners to try to bring us in i believe the white house will stay out of libya and stay out of syria at least through november. John i wish i had an hour to talk the a but im down to 2 minutes i want to squeeze in 2 questions you have been held helping us follow the venezuela story all along give us a snapshot of whats going on there now. Well in some ways were in a status quo nothing much has changed since you had this group in south american countries brazil argentina chile peru and colombia all coming together to voice support for the Opposition Leader who are you know of courting to the venezuelan constitution but to Nicolas Maduro has some very strong allies in moscow in tehran and in noncorrupt and so theyre able to help him out militarily and economically as a matter of fact iran has broad shiite has a lot are produced into venezuela for illegal gold mining thats being used to bring hard currency to the villas whaling economy and to keep majority of float who are very concerned there about the possibility of destabilization of important latin American Allies of the United States were concerned about what im trying to prevent its oil coming a failed state and possibly triggering millions of migrants towards the u. S. So we need to be very careful about whats happening there but it has to be done in a lawful manner and so former juror has been able to withstand the opposition within the country and internationally. Youve got 9 lives john youve got a hell of a rolodex every day youre speaking to contacts all around the world and just this morning i heard a Public Health official say that miami is the new wu han there are 29 e. U. Countries that wont let us in check Toronto Blue Jays are going to play their home games in buffalo so they dont have to cross the border how is the usa treatment or a lack thereof of this pandemic playing to people and World Leaders around the world give me 30 seconds. But 1st of all and theres only one will hire thats with this virus originated and unfortunately chinese either covered it out or were engaged in gross incompetence and spread a local disease and turned it into a Global Pandemic on miami day it has a large number of elderly people and it also has many apartment buildings there are conditions that are unique to Miami Dade County they dont apply to other parts of florida and we see this in other parts of the United States as well in the southeast we not only had we openings but we had many people from that new york city area traveling down there for the Summer Holidays and the like possibly infecting their southern neighbors in the United States we also have large Multigenerational Families from Central America coming into texas into louisiana into arizona there are multiple factors how but the thing to keep in mind is 50 states each state has a different protocol for dealing with covert this is not a parliamentary democracy like in europe its a federal republic all the time do is provide all the support the states and governors need. Yeah and i think you make a good point about the snow birds because the virus has gone mobile just from a seasonal migration john said ladies trilogy advises washington i look forward to seeing you back in the our t. V. Broadcast center when they let us come back to washington meantime stay safe. Coming up weve all been cooped up at home for months do you have find yourself waking up wondering what day it is. Today reliving the same day. Miss lee. I dont think so but the kitchen well. Well talk about making the most of this moment we have right now with psycho therapist Nancy Collier when we come back this is the big picture on our t. V. America. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area rush up. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again.

Some results of a survey recently conducted of 425 employers this was done by h. R.

The people are actually rethinking where they live because their choice of that residence was predicated on commuting to a work space which all this telecommuting has since obsoleted mansi among the city people you talk to and i know you Council People from all over in your using zoom etc but of the people who live right there in n. Y. C. How many of them talk about bugging out completely and have you talk to any real estate executives in the retail and office space down off the ledge lately.

Absolutely absolutely the one thing i would say about the students and yet here is a lot of the programs that would make a gap year and calculate and growing are not available so its a little bit like a cobbling together you know what. If its cruel its going to be on i mean as you say correspondence course without the important social and Developmental Disabilities and you know that freshman year off yes why not i use it its accurate and well what do you its a dilemma for families or ask around ups absolutely to minden gas as they say is just an opportunity not when things go back in they grill is not just get into the anesthesia and our busy lives. Not to get right back in that same survey and be sure doing because again we should write we should be everywhere we should see everyone and we can really use this as an opportunity to become more mindful to become more present in our lives as i said before that president s in the every day task in a sense of gratitude that we feel for things we never even noticed we were doing have a chance now to hold on to these residents after this is done you know i cant tell you how many people have confessed to me how much.
