8 pm here in moscow wherever you are in the wild thanks shes an international this thursday. Lots of stories for you this hour starting with this one the u. S. Democratic president ial candidate Michael Bloomberg has admitted his campaign make use of prison labor over the billionaire claims he was unaware it was happening his team hired a firm to help with his 2020 and actually run which in time employed female inmates to make Campaign Calls we learned 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 hire 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 share what you are spending millions of dollars on. Rita reading we sad indeed 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 might 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 theres credit Michael Bloomberg did promise america more work just to. Get it. Right for president create. Problems. 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 more cream it gets. Worse the further you dig when he launched his campaign his media Bloomberg News sent out a letter to thousands of its journalists pledging to uphold its principle of not investigating its owner 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 good paying jobs along the way. There he couldve he probably shouldnt but he didnt let me continue he became richer year after year he made billions selling bank is ludicrously priced tried until gadgets the same bankers who through un bridled greed set off the 2008 financial crash depriving tens of millions of people of those of life savings and jobs. Vote Michael Bloomberg for president and fast john left David Kendall believes that despite bloomberg vast wealth hes not you not a particularly strong count at. 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. That hes not concerned about the little guy and which i guess becomes you know if youre if youre supposedly a democrat youre concerned about the little guy and. Enormous a packer see it a big problem because 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 in the race to get struck 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. And another headline story for you while parts of the west involved in joel and employed addiction crisis many african nations are left struggling to get enough legal medication to remove the pain. I did. It. To. Me for getting morphine and the boys in the in and she was not even able to take the medication in the puzzle. Weve both been in management. Human rights if people dying in pain in that country in that community in the being 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 the trafficking in charge i dont. See. Coming out to me shit its only. Now the numbers are pretty stark the International Narcotics control board says the majority of all morphine used is consumed by just 17 percent of the walls population who predominantly live in western parts of the wild at the same time african and Asian Countries can only satisfy a tiny fraction of their medical needs but its cool unless on a saunter bruno says at the end of the day its all about money. Perma Suitable Companies are businesses 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 building and demand for the natural cheap ones 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. What the National Strike in france over proposed Pension Reforms heading into the 4th week a dance troupe in paris is stepping out of the theatre i dont the streets to make things clear. What the girls have shown you with swan lake hes 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 carries this step but i dont see what actions like behind them they had bad. Brads culture in danger and now the latest a sequel of a pension report by the french government this strike is now into its weekend that showed support to sign up and think according to proxies in the Pension Advisory Committee despite our Pension System this being a sustainable this is the only way to like i mentioned that hes reacting hes doing all right still. Forms a definite will write and supports until it arrives in the next is nothing that needs done while the focus may be off from its right now over time of crisis is a global problem some like it slowed to a fine but its the baby boom but chip ration continues to wear tight Pension Systems across the world a straining on the price of costs as a result of the countries to have been slowly raising that time back to or warning of soaring up tension since the problem is that the demographics have changed in 1906 when the system was invented you had people paying for one pension and today youve got 1. 7 people going from one to the pension the circles that is completely unsustainable so it needs to be resold and 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 best one to to have the worst situation so its clear that the world right now would hope that as you know there will be more money to retire on well not so fast according to process independent pensions Advice Committee this is the see all the situation is that perhaps its doing is the clintons government to speak suggesting its own findings showed that the overall cost of the front susPension System has in fact stabilized even reduced and that huge deficit the government to this be warning that that could just be a blip shrinking down to 5000000000 you rates by 20. So this is a miserable sensitive for the public government one of its 1st measures rule was to suppress tax on work. Microsoft was 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 cover for toxic evasion because there is a lot of the leniency with suspects evasion in this country but very very few people trudge people want this new feudal american style dystopia that is the very program of president franklin but dont want them absolutely new days of strike action have already been announced that france has this standoff with the unions that the gov that is in using in the meantime arties. Time to time and just see the bait to scare away. Thank you.

S. Cyber command is considering attacks to target senior russian leadership and the countrys elite though not president Weidner Putin in order to counter russian interference a new ss 2020 president ial election the idea would be the paper goes on that the personal sense to date or all of the targeted russian oligarchs and officials would be heat eve that interference did not stop we asked Russias Foreign Ministry spokesperson what is the heart of our to comment on that at the door the parties are in your its the same thing that has been actually used for many years bell west and partner interference in our internal affairs and regime change the us is now trying justify its actions we can only sang them for this acknowledgment of their illegal practices which they normally accuse everyone of themselves with Russias Foreign Ministry spokesperson what is the hardest prize that there is no single proof of any russian interference in any us election so far given while the Counter Measures are already being considered moscow is denying any meddling origin requested a comment from the u.

Deadly forest fires in southeast a strainer have been raging for almost 2 months now with firefighters facing extreme conditions against them a record heat wave with temperatures predicted to stay in the high thirtys to fortys celsius over the weekend and into early next week 5000000 hectares of land haue been banned nationwide in australia over the past few months 9 people have. Lost their lives so far more than 950 homes have been destroyed smoke from the fires has blanketed the countrys largest city sydney pollution that has crossed the critical mark certain times and 11 times higher than the life threatening threshold. On saturday environmental activist in sydney to condemn the Prime Ministers decision to go on vacation while parts of the country where engulfed by bushfires many of those gathered also calling for stronger action to fight Climate Change responding to the crisis and criticism Scott Morrison had this to say in defense of his governments climate policies. Is taking action on Climate Change what we were engaged in recluse and job destroying and economy crunching targets which is being seeking to be postured to us at the moment Graham Sawyer from the a straight industry station for Environmental Education believes the government is putting industry 1st weve always had farmers but weve never had it for as long. Part of the issue is really bad environmental policy over a long period of time which is allowed the country to get out of that a shipe i think the big reason why theyre defending the call industry is because the coal industry in many many years is boarded so very close to government spent a lot of money supporting governments got a little lobbyist and stuff working with governments on these issues the real issue i think is that they get a significant amount of revenue from the coal industry the 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 being given a big white couple by the fires and the really big issue is going to be how bad it is but in a much.
