Democratic president ial candidate a multi billionaire Michael Bloomberg admits that his campaign has used a prison labor they were employed by a firm that ran cold sensors from a private u. S. Prison for women to drum up support in his 2020 election run. About this when the reporter called us which as soon as we discovered which friend a subcontractor had done this we immediately ended our relationship with the company and the people who hired them imagine being so rich you have people who have people who have prisoners to do stuff for you. Being so rich you dont even bother to check what you are spending millions of dollars on. Rita rating we sat in did when we learn a vendor of a vendor of a vendor use prison labor we did know about it and we never would have allowed it we dont believe in this practice and we immediately stopped working with pro com and the people who hired them so how do you do it pay someone to pay someone to tell them Mike Bloomberg is a big spender he was last to do in the president ial race and he has already outspent all the other Democratic Candidates on Campaign Advertising i mean the guy has so much money he doesnt seem to have the time to check what he spent a good dog but they his credit Michael Bloomberg did promise america more work just to. Get it. For president jobs creator. Right america more jobs even if you dont particularly want them what makes it much much worse is that many of the prisons in the states a private run for profit and there are laws that force people to work so if you are in a jail and you are told to work you have to youll be punished sometimes they pay you as much as 20. 00 a month thats right 20. 00 a month now heres the irony Mike Bloomberg billionaire one of the richest people in america was essentially paying for what is a slave labor to cool people apparently tell them that hes a good guy wait the bloomberg is he was paying someone to pay someone to tell everyone what a good guy he is trump says he wants to run the nation like hes running is business god help us. Everybody says stuff that comes back to bite them but when billionaires do it its generally an order of magnitude. It gets. Worse the further you dig when he launched his campaign his media Bloomberg News sent out a letter thousands of its journalists pledging to uphold its principle of not investigating its own this is the sort of person mike is Mike Bloomberg started as a middle class kid to work his way through college and built a business from a single room to a global entity creating tens of thousands of could paying jobs along the way there he couldnt he probably shouldnt but he didnt let me continue he became richer year after year he made really a selling bank is ludicrously priced tried gadgets the same bankers who through unbridled greed set off the 2008 financial crash depriving tens of millions of people of both of life savings and jobs. Michael bloomberg for president investigative journalist a blend of believes that despite bloomberg vast wealth he doesnt particularly measure up as a strong democratic candidate. It really shouldnt be acceptable for anybody liberal or conservative to use prison labor its forced labor bloomberg is a multibillionaire hes worth like 54000000000. 00 hes made his money by you know not paying attention to things like that. Hes not concerned about the little guy. Which i guess becomes you know if youre if youre supposedly a democrat youre concerned about the. Enormous apocrypha see it a big problem i think its going to hurt him a lot i dont know where people get the idea that bloomberg is the great savior for democrats in the race to give strength he has almost no poll support all he has is money. Billionaires have not traditionally done that well running for office its. You know you got to have money to run for president but when you have that much money i think that most people are pretty suspicious of your motives in running for office. In the western world and youre an opioid addiction crisis many african nations struggling to get enough legal medication to relieve the pain of patients. I did. Before getting morphine the baby was in the in and she was not even able to take the medication because a pin. Was. Weve both been in management. Human rights people dying in open country and that in the. Human rights. Crisis that has featured far fewer headlines. International attention is the nonmedical use of the painkiller tramadol particularly now for. Control is a substance of growing concern particularly in North Central and west africa closer regions of africa now account for 87 percent of pharmacies cry proces worldwide and not the recent rises jew almost entirely. Its a trafficking. Come in to me sherry hoeing. The numbers are pretty stark the International Narcotics control board says the majority of all morphine is consumed by just 17 percent of the worlds population who live in western parts of the world one of the same time african and Asian Countries can only satisfy a tiny fraction of their medical opioid needs political analyst Alessandro Bruno says at the end of the day its all about money. Perma Suitable Companies out of business is big businesses with many salaries to pay they need and a lot of them are listed in the stock market in other words they have shareholders they have to take care of so because these western companies focused on the expensive medicines theyve reduced the bill of bill the and demand for the natural he wants thats why the subject of morphine again is such a not just controversial its unusual its something that people dont talk about very much its sad to say it cynical but life stick a 2nd seat to profits and earnings and the the entire capitalist system contributes to that its always a matter especially since in the last 25 years. Stock Market Performance has taken precedence over everything else. But the National Strike in france over proposed Pension Reforms heading into its 4th week a dance troupe in paris is stepping out of the theater and onto the streets to make their feelings clear. It to the point last of us all to what the girls have shown you with swan lake is 15 years of sacrifice and its daily work every day every morning and there is a limit to how long its possible to remain at that level if you want to continue to see pretty dancers on stage they cant go on until theyre 64 its not possible and perhaps the most beautiful protest that paris seen at this step but they dont see is what actually striking behind them they had battles the bread culture in danger they choose and now that they choose to seek. And to report by the french government this strike is now into its make a big show of support to someone and they according to prophecy intended tension advice from the spy borrow it Pension System this thing called sustainable this is the only way to like i mentioned basically at least of all system. Forms a definite right and until it reaches the next. And nothing is done while the focus may be on fronts right now time of crisis is a problem some like to slow to a point but its the baby boom budget bracing for continues to tie Pension Systems across the world just raining on the white house as a result of the countries to have been slowing raising that toilet or cooling of soaring up tensions since the problem is that the demographics have changed in 1906 when the system was invented you had full people paying for one pension and today youve got 1. 7 people going from one attention to circles that is completely unsustainable so it needs to be resoldered i basically i think youve got all these demonstrations of people saying yes but not yet you know not now i dont want to be the 1st one to to have a worse situation so its clear that you wont find. As. For money retire or well not so fast according to process independent hedge advice it is the c. L. R. Situation is perhaps it is the clintons government this means testing own findings show that the overall cost of the front page system has in fact stabilized even reduced and that huge deficit government this morning that could just be a blip shrinking down to 5000000000 you raise by 2030 so this is a misery percentage of for the public government one of its 1st measures role was to suppress a tax on words and its called by the french the president of the rich but if you tax bill you know so you must not forget to add an Exchange Controls in order to curb for tax evasion because there is a lot of the leniency with specs evasion in this country but a very very few people want this new feudal american style dystopia that is the very program of president franklin but dont want that absolutely new days of strike action have already been announced that france has this standoff between unions and the gov its tim ewing in the meantime artists and performers are determined to see the beat to scare away that way.

Australia continues to play with record breaking temperatures and wildfires but the Prime Minister put out the finding the coal industry seen by environmentalist as a root cause of the Climate Emergency its one of our stories still ahead. Stacey are continuing on our south american tour and as you can see behind me we are in Rio De Janeiro so beautiful so much going on this is a country in transition. Im one who will ever argue that there are words the word the victims its also important to also distinguish the fact that whenever we have a crime. Of genocide and other cases of genocide. That were talking about issues confronting it acknowledging it and injustice and reparations for it are important it is important to crimes wherever they happen but it should be. You know. In this particular case of the. Deadly forest fires in southeast australia have been raging for almost 2 months now with firefighters facing extreme conditions against them to a record heat wave with temperatures predicted to stay in the high thirtys to 40 celsius over the weekend and into early next week as of now 5000000 hectares of land have been nationwide over the past few months 9 people have lost their lives and more than 950 homes have been destroyed smoke from the pfizers blanketed the countrys largest city sydney pollution there is cross the critical mark sometimes 11 times higher than the life threatening threshold. On friday environmental activists gathered outside the residence of australias Prime Minister calling for stronger action to fight Climate Change protesters block central streets in sydney demanding that australia declare a Climate Emergency heres how the Prime Minister explained the situation. A strategy is taking action on Climate Change what we want to is engaged in reckless and job destroying an economy crunching targets which is being seeking to be postured to us at the moment its a crime sawyer from the Australian Association for Environmental Education believes the governments putting industry 1st. Weve always had farmers but weve never had fires like that and part of the issue is really bad environmental policy over a long period of time which has allowed the country to get out of out of shape i think the big reason why theyre defending the coal industry is because the coal industry over many many years is bored so very close to government and a lot of money supporting governments got a little lobbyist and stuff working with governments on those issues. The real issue i think is that get a significant amount of revenue from the coal industry jobs in the call industry not that significant when you look at the industries across the whole economy it seems to be an excuse to me i mean theyre not showing any great signs of caring about the environment so i think theres a lot of people in this country who are going to be what the flaws and the really big issue is going to be how. Well the end of march. So its less than a week left of 29. 00 t. Lets start taking a look at the gate just go. Online series in case you missed it.
