Other very good morning. Students across the world back in class schools reopen after the summer break but for many face to face learning wont be the same this new school Year Coronavirus measures being brought in to prevent outbreaks september 1st is known as knowledge day here in russia and its traditionally a big celebration of the School Children and parents alike. To dont courters outside of Moscow School slightly different look in russia in particular this school year. Good morning meal thats right its that time of the year again time for kids all over the world to go back to school and many wont be sitting in virtual classrooms just because of the pandemic here in russia september 1st is a very important day where everyone gets dressed up usually grandparents and parents see off the students to their 1st day of class but this Year Celebrations have been canceled because of the large crowds they usually gather and on top of that not all. Even going back to school for schools to sit in physical classrooms parents actually have the option to keep their kids learning from home because many are afraid that schools are just going to shut down again after the 1st sneeze or cough and the authorities have even said that returning to Remote Learning is not off the table. But most of them are b. S. It is possible as well as with influenza now there is between factions. Now in the u. K. The authorities have taken a bit of a different approach for months they have been telling parents that schools are safe instead of putting together a plan to actually safely reopen them in fact it was just several days before the beginning of school in the u. K. That the government recommended that kids over 11 wear masks in the hallways and public areas and it also said that 2nd secondary School Students could be able to stay home every other fortnight in the event of a local lockdown but these last minute guidelines were not very popular with students and the with teachers in the u. K. Weve been asking for months and months and months was shooting to close down because of. Thats been seen as a kind of act of heresy and yet here we all the friday night before a Bank Holiday Weekend the schools get away with it really isnt the government funded. Then theres france where the Education Minister has said that there shouldnt be any hesitation in allowing the countrys nearly 13000000 students to return to school but the minister did admit that not all classrooms would be able to be safely reopened and president macron has even already warned of a new possible lockdown in france a country where cases are rising at an exponential rate so you could probably imagine how french teachers werent too happy either. As soon as theyll be in contact with one another re going to try and get them to our stair hands but lets not fool ourselves we know that with 25 pupils we wont always be able to keep an eye on then. So at least in russia it seems like this 1st of september is going to be just as important to the authorities as it is to the students or or their parents will life return to normal or will the 2nd wave of the pandemic cause a return to the lockdown conditions only time will tell quarter putting life for us from moscow. Earlier on i spoke with the World Health Organizations representative to the russian for preservation a stop to merely to voinovich who says the shooting should be safe if all precautions are taken he has to say that the schools are part of the Wider Community and they have to be seen so so if there is good control in the Wider Community there insurance quite a lot for the schools and we have to take that into consideration however there is no 0 risk we have to think about that but when the knowledge we have about college or the last practically 8 mons and all the efforts that are being put into place we do believe that this is the right moment this also to move on to return children schooling back in a safe mode. In the meantime francis seen a spike in covert 1000 cases during august the number of new infections increased on average by record pre 1000 per day lead author reduced to reimpose some protective measures with mask compulsory and workplaces hours of change day. Thats been hit particularly hard by the pandemic is one of frances proudest thats why in production on the show to do basically looked at how it has lost its sparkle. It should go hope but this years champagne harvest will be little more than official consumption of champagne is expected to fall by as much as a 3rd this year an unprecedented loss of around 1700000000. 00 euros now while champagne great growers have agreed to leave grapes on the vine cutting production by around 20 percent even though efforts may not be enough and there are fears that little can be done to salvage the situation with some describing it as being the darkest year in the history of the sparkling we are experiencing a crisis that we have value weight even worse than the Great Depression in terms of economy for champagne. When i hear that other sex has received help even without any reference to their profits i say look we continue to work and we need to support workers were switching to the principles of our gannett winemaking and besides we only asked to compensate social benefits and only for the period of the current 19 pandemic but we will pay at least for now and have the feeling that we will pay the full price the curve of 19 pandemic has hit the industry hard not just because orders from staple buyers like restaurants and hotels are down but also because the harvest is about to get underway and there are fears of a qubit outbreak amongst Seasonal Workers some 100000 arrived hof of them from Eastern Europe but due to the nature of the work champagne growers say social distancing is impossible as there is never to be going to be close mix in the mystery board a flare up of infections in Seasonal Workers often cramped living quarters the European Center for disease prevention and control has already outlined how clusters. Prove it 19 have been reported by workers who carry out Seasonal Work such as fruit picking there have been several outbreaks at farms in the south of france raising concerns amongst those that live in the champagne region particularly as the area has so far largely been spared from frances recent spike in infections free testing has been set up for Seasonal Workers however anyone who tests positive would have to self isolate and lose their wage hardly entice ng the problem is the Migrant Workers arent coming to get tested because they know they will lose the jobs they test positive we can force them to come for champagne an area that is used to helping people celebrate in style 2020 is turning out to be a bit of a difficult potion to swallow so lets even ski arty paris. With Health Systems around the world focused mostly on the pandemic it is feared that covert patients are paying a high sometimes deadly price as consultations and routine operations get pushed back on top of that the World Health Organization warns the pandemic isnt doing some major achievements in health care so skewed looks at where the hopeful thora to use have got their priorities right. Well over the quick getting back to work when reopening schools lifes getting back to normal how many times have we heard this but now a new report from the w. H. O. Reveals just how fatally kovac 19 has set us back the impact of the coded 19 pandemic on essential Health Services is a source of great concern major health gains achieved over the past 2 decades can be wiped out in a short period of time the collapse of essential Health Services including Health PromotionPreventative Services diagnosis treatment and rehabilitative in Palliative Services is likely to have serious Adverse Health effects especially on the most vulnerable populations what does this look like in reality though well the overwhelming majority of the 100 countries surveyed found that he Health Services were interrupted not the kind of the 19 patients but for the rest of the population i. E. The majority which didnt have coronavirus so you wanted a seasonal job you want to talk to your doctor about the pain in your stomach you want to speak to a family Party Specialist the chances are you really struggled to access the services you need it and for some that lack of accessibility proved fatal take the u. K. Its thought that the lock down there killed 2 people for every 3 coronavirus deaths as a result of missed medical care so people who were told to stay away from a any who couldnt get an emergency surgery who had their g. P. Appointment cancelled or who didnt get the regular chemotherapy can you guarantee heading into the winter that people who need Cancer Treatment or need a counter operation wont have it cancelled again i dont use the word guarantee what i can say though is that we are already on the path to recovering the situation for many though a matter of months to clear that backlog is time they just dont have. I mean even as the government tells us and life gets back on track and the u. K. s covert death toll reaches almost 0 some patients with life threatening conditions are being told to wait until 2022 for a consultation which even then what only happened over the phone is my own sound abstract but heres the real story Martin Lincoln has joined so ought to write us among other things hes at risk of diabetes unless he regulate his daily medication his appointment to do so has been postponed until next year the government tells us the n. H. S. Is open as usual and trusts are getting back to normal service as a patient with Ongoing Health issues i am now deemed sufficiently well enough despite being decidedly unwell to have to wait 14 months for a phone call from the consultant or ginia if this is the new normal its disgraceful and while theres no doubt that medical professionals are doing that almost in the sun precedented situation our doctors nurses and other staff have worked incredibly hard over the last few months to make sure that all patients who needed urgent care have been able to receive it which has been the case for mr lincoln as the number of people desperately waiting for the help they need grows charities are sounding the alarm the Health Service is certainly under strain because the government over the past 10 years. Under funded the n. H. S. Although the government to set out targets to recruit divisional. I dont know where theyre going to come from one of the big problems is that people who work in the n. H. S. Are very poorly paid and that no great incentives for people to do doing that and i think theres no showing that this is going to get better in the near future because this government to ideologically opposed to the concept of. Publicly funded health care weve been told we need to compromise to adapt to this new normal but many would argue this is a compromise too far. Thanks thing with more news after this short break. Join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. All this Insider Trading and the tragic policy saying were going to extend quantitative easing indefinitely as you are saying thats the worst kept secret in the history of the world because there is only one thing they can possibly do they can only print you can only you cant taper a ponzi scheme as weve often said before they can only print then they can only expand printing exponentially like any ponzi scheme you need a bigger base of the pyramid scheme has to get bigger and bigger and bigger it is showing up in prices Commodity Prices and we do see people now reporting back and saying hey i cant afford food im standing on the street. In the United States the 2 main 2020 want house race rivals have clashed over the unrest gripping the country cities the democratic run and joe biden blasted donald trump on monday through fusing to condemn Kyle Rittenhouse supporter facing murder charges after killing 2 people during a protest in kenosha wisconsin last week. That was an interesting situation you saw the same tape as i saw and he was trying to get away from them i guess it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that were looking at right now and its under investigation but. I guess he was in very big trouble he would have been i he probably would have been killed tonight President Trump declined to rebuke violence he wouldnt even repudiate one of his support is he was charged with mudda hes too weak to scared of the hatred hes stead to put an end to it the elections that take place every 4 years in the United States generally polarized the country to some degree or other but 2020 is taking things to a much higher level clashes on the streets between black lives matter activists praised by democrats and from supporters are starting to look almost like civil war. A member of the right wing Patriot Prayer group was shot dead in oregon and thats just days after a 17 year old was charged for shooting 2 antipolice brutality protesters in can no show wisconsin now some on the right hailed the shooter in can osha as a hero meanwhile some on the left have celebrated the death of the trump supporter. Donald trump has taken a heavy handed approach to the protesters with 0 tolerance and joe biden has also denounced the violence but early on you had a different message i said in the right to be fact angry and frustrated and more violence for any more people is that going to answer the question but are totally correct the deadly violence we saw overnight in portland is unacceptable shooting in the streets of a Great American city is unacceptable i condemn violence of every kind by anyone whether on the left or the right and i challenge donald trump to do the same both candidates feel the situation has gone too far and both candidates now blame each other for the chaos. Here gas was used to remove you from testers for people to read and it is happening under Donald Trumps watch we are not safe in Donald Trumps america the hard truth is. You wont be safe in joe bidens and theyre. Sure to late joe biden you should not have had to have a poll tell you that americans dont approve of riots in the democrat cities cities in which may has allowed the burning of businesses and communities murders and pain they are bite and riots donald trump is running as the quote law and order candidate now thats an unpopular position in some circles meanwhile biden is on the defensive as conservatives label the unrest the biting riots with the election just 2 months away and the country spiraling out of control its unclear if either candidate really has any idea how to fix the situation it will mop and artsy new york. California lawmakers have given the green light to a bill that would force companies to have at least one board member from a minority background by the end of next year the state says the move will help to overcome racial disparity. People of car must have a seat at the table especially in a state as diverse as california it builds on an earlier law which stated that Company Boards should include at least one woman this will rise to 3 for most larger firms by the end of next year and by the end of 2022 at least 3 people from minority communities as well as signed off its if signed off by the governor the law will be the 1st of its kind in the United States for corporations is an issue we debated with political activist antony religious right and social issues commentator Anthony Bryan logan. It is of course very sad that we needed Government Intervention and for more diversity on these corporate boards the bottom line is that there have always been qualified people of color unqualified women who just dont have the access to these corporations and its just important that we do and its also beneficial to these corporations for their bottom line when they have people on their boards who are representative of their consumers thats better for their bottom line and weve seen that as expressed in Forbes Magazine in bloomberg magazine as well actually you know the bottom line of these companies they already do it ok because at the end of the day theyre trying to make money go to the most important part all that matters is have it the most qualified people on the board in a company to have your company get the best chance to succeed ok if it fails and if they fail but having the government intervene and say hey you got to hire that person that person and that person wont change it actually thats called communism and weve seen. And fairly failed and that is not communism that is not common i think its going to speak to the to do sheeple lets be honest lets lets be honest lets be honest about what those precepts are now unfortunately what anthony is doing is conflating anyone theyre going to go into the street and just pick any person of color off the street to be on a board were talking about qualified people we know for a fact in this country we know for a fact in this country about not being able to hire a tree that people of color space specifically says me scuse me if i can finish my point africanamerican women latino women and Indigenous Women who have masters degrees are silly making less money than white men with High School Diploma lets name 3 of the most lucrative businesses in the history of the United States of america Apple Microsoft and facebook all founded by white men who didnt even finish college so this idea that white people are being men are being discriminated against when they can still make money with a High School Diploma. With a High School Diploma excuse me if i could just finish my point. If i could just give us my point if i could just finish my point with if i could just finish my point a High School Diploma are still making money more money than black brown and Indigenous Women with masters degrees so this idea that white men are being discriminated against unfortunately is a bootlicking paradigm by the republicans and some of their black talking points like mr anthony is on right now he knows very very well that white men can walk down the street get pulled over by an officer and not be worried about getting shot so you know i mean talking about jobs so starting in maine so motivated me just like myself ok i come from poor environment next to nothing and now im very successful ok because i started my own thing i thought it my own business ok where in america everyone can do they are right theres no need to put me here or to put somebody else who does that is absolutely not true ok if i had my own business i didnt if you hadnt i better get out of. It i dont want a government telling me who i can take and i have all my. Black Household Wealth at 17000. 00 a year and white house would welcome 177000. 00 a year on average these are good responsible policies and of businesses want them to be dismantled then do the right thing and understand that diversity is not just about numbers but also about shared power the best way to go about it is they have freedom in the country not so much government regulation the best way to go about is have less regulation always rates a less bureaucracy that helps all of those grow whether you want to be an employee or stars are all business say less regulation less brain great freedom in america. Another chapter in a long running saga Donald Trumps form a National Security advisor Michael Flynn has lost an appeal for the criminal case against him to be dismissed and then was convicted of lying under oath during the rush to get probe charges were dropped from the Justice Department the latest ruling means the case still has to go through the District Courts until judges ruled 8 to 2 against fled his attorney said new power called the decision disturbing. Split as expected a long line 7 from the tone and tenor of the judges said oral argument it is a disturbing blow to the rule of law. And some background to the case Michael Flynn was questioned by the f. B. I. As part of the miller investigation into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 u. S. Election it resigned after initially pleading guilty to misleading the f. B. I. To claim prosecutorial misconduct his new lawyer produce documents reveal the f. B. I. And set out to entrap flynn and had no valid cause to interview him in the 1st place the golan less than u. S. National security commentator jennifer to muster believed that the case against and should have been a nonstarter not only the exculpatory documents that Sidney Powell did provide that show that this case should never have been brought not just that but the entire reason that the judge is holding this case out is because flynn pled guilty to a document that he has never seen so we have to think about that a document he has never seen that the public has never seen that the court has never seen that his original interview what they called the original 3 which Sidney Powell has been asking for so in most legal cases theres a process of discovery we need to see all of these documents stuck just an edited version they have never even produce that original interview and i think their plan is to pass about november but its certainly important hopefully theyre going to be ways or methods where they can go that doing this to make this go through faster this is an absolute travesty of justice.

My friends we live in an age of injustice and protest and while any schmoe with the dollar knowledge of Human History and Group Psychology will rightfully acknowledge that without injustice there would be no protest do not do not tell that to the State Government of tennessee who apparently believe that the only way to stop protesting is to make it a felony yes under a new law signed into being by governor believe the 1st amendment sprayed him of speech and assembly is now a felony offense and the ball and tear state the Associated Press reports that in a direct response to black lives matter protesters who took up camp and part of the states Capitol Building over the summer tennessees new law are now states that those who illegally camp on state property would
