Personnel are headed to elson air force base in alaska i want to show you exactly what were talking about we put the map up so you can see that area where alaska is and if you were close in on this a little bit you going to be able to see just what were talking about at least as far as alaska is concerned theres the air force base weve kind of blown up this area so you can see what were talking about this is where the f. 35 there are going to join the f. Sixteens that are already there or along with the 169 air refueling unit now. What is the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this day and age and in this particular area right here around alaska well the 1st thing you have to look at is russia right why well geography geography number one history number 2 so 1st of all look at just how close the territory of the Russian Federation is to the territory of the United States i mean were not talking about a lot there in fact i want to show you something i found just absolutely. Incredible so they got ever new as i sort of to look into this right so theres these 2 Little Islands right there he knows theyre much smaller than those circles are too small to even put on a map but theres 2 Little Islands there and one of them is called you can see him for yourself if you go to google maps well its one of them is called big and the other one is called di i mean island or something called little di meola so heres whats interesting this one belongs to russia this one belongs to the United States do you know what the distance is between those 2 islands. 2 and a half miles to want to half miles thats it i mean essentially the distance between russia and the United States theres so fascinating stuff thats the geography not of the history part which is predicated by the way by the cat and mouse game thats being played habitually by both sides in fact i have something for you if you want to see this heres the latest on this take a look at this here it is look at this video you see that thats an f. 22 the other ones an f. 18 this is put out by norad this video of a canadian fighter and a u. S. Fighter chasing away a russian surveillance plane its a russian recon plane its by the way that russian recon plane the big one is called a t 142 the norad fighter jets as i described and i think the video is going to pop up here in a minute now and well get away from some of these boring graphics because lets get to the video if we possibly can its coming i swear its there it is so theres 2 of them theres 2 of these big t t 142. 00 and then theres the f. 22. 00 and the f. 18 and theyre essentially chasing it out as you can see the small planes escorting the larger plane out of what is called this alaskan zone thats what that area is called by the way this video is very recent and this whole thing lasted for about 4 hours according to u. S. Military officials but lets go back to the discussion about history again because this is important this type of thing that i just showed you here a little while ago could you go back to the map kevin this is this type this type of thing that i just showed you a little while ago this is been going on not for 4 hours but for more than have half a century since the cold war and obviously even after the cold war and some would ask why the answer gets a little bit complicated so were going to be joined by a guest here in just a little bit to go through that so is it really about new tensions with russia well the key word there may be new maybe not. Ah remember this area right here that were talking about with alaska this is americas bastion of Oil Production and alaska relies on the price of oil being high why do you think sarah palin was such a popular governor when she was the governor of alaska oil was 120. 00 a barrel today theyre likely in there somewhere around 0 right so is the United States creating a military industry in alaska to bolster the states lackluster or oil economy that its so much depends on heres another thing to consider when it comes to this to look at alaskas remoteness for example i mean theres not a lot of people in this region right so with so many u. S. Military press personnel in cramped quarters all over the world succumbing to kovan 1000 is alaska a safer respite for them but what were going to be mapping all of this out for you and were going to be drilling down on this story right here on the news with rick sanchez where look we are convinced and we believe that it is as we like to say time to do news again. Here we go the list of the questions we think youll be asking them are oh what what what is the reason for the u. S. Has increased military presence in alaska all of a sudden why is Governor Cuomo and really defending cops and Health Care Workers why is china. Amounts to get out of arrested while way workers for talking about iraq were going to get into all of this but lets go ahead and get right to our top story with the u. S. Military move to some more fighter jets into alaska 1st the background and the details of the story as we know it right now here 1st is hard to correspondent john hardy. The 1st 4 f. 35 fighter jets landed this weekend i also an air force base in alaska deployed from the 354th Operations Group in utah the air force says that prior to the deployment the alaska wing was sending its pilots and personal out for training at other bases but the cobra 1000 pandemic ended that program the Associated Press reports that the base expects to receive 54 jets and an intentional 1300 personnel by december 2 10212 squadrons of f. 35 days will join the reactivated 356 Fighter Squadron with the 18th Aggressor Squadron of f. 16 and the 168th air refueling wing u. S. Senator Lisa Murkowski of alaska said in a statement that the addition of the jets is a milestone for the arctic writing quote the importance the squadrons of f. 35. 00 will play in our National Defense while also providing our a man with incredible real world training is unparalleled while the kobe 1000 pandemic has reportedly played a part in the reason the jets are being deployed to alaska it also comes as russias military has been conducting continued exercises in the arctic region this video of russian Army Paratroopers jumping from a transport jet at close to 30000 feet above the arctic during a 3 day military exercise recently went viral Russian Spetznaz Special forces also took part in the training and earlier this month f 22. 00 fighter jets and Canadian Air Force jets intercepted russian reconnaissance planes over the bering sea north of the Aleutian Islands the russian planes never entered u. S. Or canadian airspace but theyre part of a string of intercepts according to norad over the past few months senator dan sullivan of alaska added in the statement senator miscount. That quote alaska is the most strategic place in the world and now with these 2 squadrons of f. 35. 00 days our state will soon be home to more than 150. 00 Generation Fighters americas adversaries will certainly think twice before engaging our country when faced with this unparalleled force and fire power war games and warnings aside i also an air force space has been gearing up for the addition of f. 35 since 2016 when the program was 1st announced so far more than 500000000. 00 has been appropriated for construction at the base located 26 miles southeast of fairbanks related to the addition of the f. 35 squadrons for the news with Rick Sanchez John hardy. Thats great stuff john thanks so much for hustling get that story to us lets go over now to mike malloy former product on official what do you make of all of a sudden this increased u. S. Presence there that has a lot of people saying oh it must be theyre doing some offensive against russia or something is it that not necessarily i think there are 2 points id like to make number one there has been increased surveillance by the russians in that area for quite some time actually and thats nothing new but the more critical in the more strategic reason i think is that for some time now the russia has really paid very close attention to the importance of the strategic importance of the arctic and now the United States has finally come around to realize that and alaska is our most Northern Point to watch over the arctic because that all area has opened up because the melting of the ice that has become a transport area for a number of countries not only russia but also china and russia is way ahead of the United States in establishing bases in the arctic particularly in the russian area that adjoins to the to the arctic and its looking over their areas that theyre now claiming for resources very vital resources for Mining Minerals and what have you so that whole area is not only strategic youve got to keep in mind too that the arctic is when you look at it look downward and if you merchant is the arctic ice it is the closest point to all the capitals in the world at the shortest point to all the troubles in the world if you were to fire a missile a Strategic Missile and youre warning time would be negligible. Everythings r. C. And. No i was just paraphrasing what youre saying it goes back to Global Warming it goes back to the fact that suddenly there are going to be resources and lanes that never existed before russia is touted as that is already d there looking at it the United States wants to tap into whatever russia is tapping into this is fascinating the way you just laid this out for us mike what an amazing you know what were coming back to this is something that you and i are going to drill down on some more thanks so much for for joining us mike maloof explaining putting in perspective something that perplexed a lot of people thats why we have a god thats great part theres big news coming out of new york today from both the governor and the mayor Governor Cuomo lashed out at the white house from the federal government for only being interested in helping Corporate America leaving states like his to barely have enough to protect police and Health Care Workers his words then for his part mayor de blasio is taking on hasidic jews in his community telling them that he will arrest them if they continue to violate rules against large gatherings we have all of this covered for you but theres also a big story thats coming out of berlin where the European Union is now announcing new rules as far as how you can travel from one place to another and it means get ready to have your temperature checked lets begin there heres peter all over. The Brandenburg Gate is one of germanys most visited Tourist Attractions but if youre dreaming of seeing it or anything else in the e. U. Any time soon you may well need a special type of passport that says you are new to the coronavirus the Tourism Sector has experienced an immense and unexpected decline in demand due to the outbreak of the corona virus pandemic our mission is to be as members of the European Union and as part of the most successful tourist region in the world leader in the recovery of tourism these m unity passports are just one of a number of ideas being discussed by the e. U. Tourism ministers as they try to find ways to mitigate the impact of covert 90 on the holiday industry one particular idea is based on the whole proviso that if you had 19 you cant be. Some nations like greece which relies massively on holiday makers spending money there are very much on side with the plan but there is 1. 00 quite significant show experts at the World Health Organization say immunity passports wouldnt be worth the paper theyre printed on at this point there is not enough evidence about the effectiveness of antibody mediated immunity to guarantee the accuracy of an immunity passport or risk free certificate people who assume that they are immune to a 2nd infection made more Public Health advice the use of such a difficult made therefore increase the risks of continued transmission in some carolla just so wanting that immunity sports would just be the right to kill but they could be held to spread the virus the surge reality for Tourism Industry is that without a working seeing the future looks far from bright for all of the party. Im natasha sweet support poured in from los angeles as the beautiful warm weather hits the golden state locals worry if the beach. The closures will extend into the summer the most important things that. Small Business Owners like shawn dad men are ready for california to reopen only in a restaurant in Newport Beach desmonds business depends on locals and tourists alike getting out and about but when the beaches are even closed the local economy is feeling the effects and now governor Gavin Newsome same california schoolchildren could return to their classrooms as early as july but we recognize theres been a learning loss a because of this disruption were concerned about that learning loss even into the summer and so we are considering the prospect of an even earlier school year into the fall certainly as late july early august though schools may look radical be different than before you some previously said schools may launch with a staggered start times recess and even lunch to avoid extra large crowds some good news coming out of the states most populated city testing for covert 1000 in los angeles just became a whole lot more accessible the city now has tested more than 131000 people the tests are very simple and quick you can do them yourself without getting out of the car also in los angeles sailors and civilian crew members are hoisting new hospital beds onboard the us and s.

The rise Officials Say be sure to practice extra caution when leaving your home. Good stuff thanks so much natasha this is the news of the tranches youre watching our special coverage on portable t. V. Well be right back. Economic system known as capitalism has generated more wealth than any other system in history in many ways it has defined maternity itself hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty however capitalism has also witnessed growing income inequality the appeal of socialism currently on the rise can complement. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being that. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or remain in the shallows. What about im rick sanchez now to a story that we have been really on top of for quite some time kind of leading when it comes to coverage of the way situation so do you remember when the daughter of the founder of weiwei was arrested by u. S. Authorities in canada it was a brazen move conducted as part of an accusation by the trumpet ministration that china how dare they conduct business with iran who was the enemy of the United States but not necessarily the enemy of china now theres a report back in 2018 Chinese Police arrested 5 while way employees weiwei employees who were. Apparently having a discussion where they had talked about the company violating sanctions against iraq thats what theyre being charged with or were charged with here now to put this all together forces are correspondent shoebridge but. I can confirm its an open secret that huawei sells to iran thats the message from former while we employ you leave hong yuan in a private we have group of other former employees on december 11th 2018 their former employer had just been accused of violating u. S. Sanctions on iran and the company c. F. O. Had just been arrested because of the sync sions it would have been a legal for huawei to sell any u. S. Origin goods or technology to the country but while they didnt offer tangible evidence of sanctions violations he was arrested by Chinese Police with 4 other former employees shortly after lee was detained for 251 days and told the New York Times that the police appear to have arrested them in part to stop them from speaking about while these activities in iran another one of the former employees zong monk who was also arrested on accusations of leaking trade secrets holding New York Times that the Chinese Police told him that by discussing hallways iranian business and communicating with Foreign News Outlets he had crossed a line both lee and son were in disputes with quality because of their severance package which didnt include a year end bonus then look for other disgruntled huawei workers and his we chat group grew to more than 60 people but according to several Chinese Media outlets li was also suspected of blackmailing huawei and thats why he was detained eventually while we had to drop the case and issued a statement that we could file a lawsuit if he believed his rights were violated he also received compensation of 100001 from the Chinese Government for his detention last year lease case was heavily covered by u. S. Media in december of 29000. 00 the New York Times wrote about lees labor dispute with the headline how huawei lost the heart of the chinese. Public some members of the chinese public then criticize the elec demanding that Foreign Forces including those of the United States where using the case to justify the technological cold war against while away and the u. S. Charges against the company as one beijing resident told the global times who said while way lost the hearts of the chinese public the journalist thinks she can represent everyone for the news with rick sanchez Michele Greenstein r. T. Fascinating story i think theres nobody better to bring in for this discussion former u. K. M. P. George galloway has been following this whole weiwei china us thing for quite some time george what is your take on this. Well firstly rick china is a unique country it is capitalist economy inside a communist society ruled by the communist party of china and china has more billionaires than any of our country in the world except america but its also imprisoned and shocked even more billionaires than any other country in the world so there is a tension always inside china between the business of business and the communist parties determination to remain in power and sometimes theres a clash between the interests of both sides thats how so many of them have ended up in jail almost half of chinese billionaires has ended up in prison here we have though a pretty marquee story or will the company was spying on its employees and reporting them to the police and thats led to all kinds of time goals and strengthening the crawl against wall which if you use wall way eventually the Chinese Communist party will get to know what it is youve been using it for so even though our companies do exactly the same with our governments its a bit of a problem now i think for while were roque before were out of time whats to stop china from just saying to the United States and to its employees yes were doing business with iran so theyre its not your business and we get to do business with whoever the hell we want to do business well why dont they just say that. Thats what they should do thats what we all should do we have no sanctions against iran you can have them if you like but while way is a chinese phone and were going to sell them in iran whether you like or not but thats not what theyre doing in there because theyre really the long and the short of it rick yeah i know but theyre very sensitive about it which is why theyre even going after their own people it was like if you tell your son or id tell my son be careful what you say out there we dont want the neighbors to know that were our catholic you know right i mean. Not in my no no no because i dont believe in hiding these things and the chinese shouldnt try and hide it they should face down this pressure we have no sanctions against iran we are going to trade with them whether you like it or not yeah but this Halfway House is really what im talking about neither one thing in tylenol the other neither fish nor fowl it can get you into trouble if you walk down the middle of the road rick youll be hit by the cars coming both ways yeah tell the truth and that way you dont have to remember what you said i love it i thank you george as usual good conversation its a fascinating story by the way if youre thinking that it seems like our lives have been turned upside down you should take a look at whats happening in the world of science theres a new study out there that has researchers investigating of the universe out of north and south potentially up ending everything that we thought that we knew about the cosmos trust me alex my element is going to make this all make sense here is. The study of a quasar thats 13000000000 light years away could potentially change the way we look at the universe published in science advances researchers report that 4 new measurements of light emitted from the quasar reaffirm past analyses that dispute our standard model of cosmology evidence was gathered from the l. T. Or extremely large telescope in chile and the information is being examined at the university of New South Wales in australia the findings have scientists questioning a perfect balance between fundamental forces throwing a Monkey Wrench into the work of those trying to prove the theory of everything which could explain every aspect of physics the standard belief is that electromagnetism is one of 4 fundamental forces that need everything together in the universe alongside gravity uclear force and Strong Nuclear force. This model is built upon einsteins theory of gravity which explicitly assumes constancy of the laws of nature however the new evidence suggests that a fundamental physical constant used to measure electromagnetism between charged particles may not be constant at all tiny variations could have massive implications on how we view the universe around us the data also shows that the universe may have had a north end self signaling that there may be directionality in the universe which in turn means that the laws of physics could change as you travel through the universe according to astrophysicist john webb from australias university of New South Wales putting all the data together electromagnetism seems to gradually increase the further we look while towards the opposite direction it gradually decreases in webbs words this is all very weird indeed currently our standard model of cosmology is based on an isotropic universe meaning one which is the same in all directions the new research could potentially throw that way of thinking out the window and along with it on steins theory of gravity. If these findings are confirmed they could help play an important part in explaining the universe itself and lifes place in the bigger scheme of things for us with rick sanchez im alex my i love it all right thats how we get started for you today theres a lot going on though and were going to be coming back with a lot more on whats going on but the particularly in new york where both the governor and the mayor seem particularly angry today for several reasons the mayor angry at hasidic jews the governor is angry at the white house were going to break all that down for you by the way they got some friends looking for a newscast its not like the rest of the time or here by golly or television catches on portable t. V. Its a great app if you dont have it go get it from rick sanchez to see again when its time to get this. To do most of this were going. To be meeting with google who are we. Going to get it.
