In line with government policy. So the us no one to trust the House Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff ever again after it was revealed that he lied about the truck collusion investigation. Thanks for joining us here. We will begin with our daily check on the latest global coronavirus figures total infections now stand above 4600000. 00. Or approaching 300000 while the number of those who have recovered tops 1700000. The u. S. Health care system has been inundated here in the pandemic not just with patients but also criticism of the way that it struggled with the crisis now the former head of a key lab working on a vaccine has warned congress if the government doesnt make rapid changes things will only get worse our window of opportunity is closing if we fail to improve our response now based on science i fear the pandemic will get worse and be prolonged there will be likely a resurgence of covert 19 this fall and we greatly compound that by the challenges of seasonal influenza without better planning 2020 could be the darkest winter in modern history in modern terms as the countrys done a great job in the battle with the corona virus and claims its only the media this has otherwise we spoke with pediatrician and Health Care Activist Margaret Flowers who says that the pandemics put the spotlight on the many failings of the current system. 3 major drawbacks that it has exposed is that we dont have a universal Health Care System in the United States and that millions of people have no Health Insurance at all it also has exposed that we dont have a centralized Health Care System its our system is very piecemeal and bureaucratic and disorganized and because of that theres been no real leadership coming from a centralized institution telling people how to behave telling Health Professionals what to do making sure that we can get resources to people who need them particularly our Health Care Providers and the 3rd thing is that our Health Care System is really based on profit and not based on the health of people and so instead of doing commonsense things that would have enabled us to get tests out to people to get supplies to people were seeing this whole. Scurrying of various corporations trying to see how they can profit from this situation. U. S. Nursing homes have been hit particularly hard by the crisis we spoke with Daniel Albany hes lost relatives to the virus including his father who was in a new york nursing home. One week. 5 deaths for the my uncle 3 cousins 4 of them. 3 of them god it is Nursing Homes so. Im sure that the fact that they didnt have enough people. Got people infected but the bulk of them were the patients being forced to live with the virus and they had no idea whether they had it or its something that should have been known. Prepared for by like federal especially the states its all regulated by the state and local govt they talk about having a pandemic plan early march the elected officials. How could you not have a plan for our most vulnerable those that we have to honor those who are parents. The situation with Nursing Homes has come into sharp focus now after it turned out that many had not been reporting the number of deaths that is claimed more than 30000 fatalities from americas entire virus death toll in Nursing Homes and long stay care facilities relatives have complained of a lack of testing and in a number of cases of no one informing them that their loved ones actually had covert 19 before they died we talked to American Healthcare representatives about how they see the situation. The government could have a 1000000 rated the extent to which reduce the extent to which residents were affected i think you know unfortunately the federal government kind of ignored some of the signs of what was going on and was very very slow to react and just generally and even more so in respect to nursing or what were hearing from families sometimes is that families dont even know that their loved one had covert nights he until the resident has died so the person they were taken to the hospital and its too early were hearing too often of residents and family members finding out that their resident had a roomie and that person was coping 1000 and they were separated in time and then their loved one also we can cope with 1000. 00. You know were hearing about people not getting access the hospital because there were some you know because of their age because who did this ability fortunately not seen as being worth treating we have about 1300000 people in nursing home in the United States and i would say about a 3rd of those are over the age of 85 so its a very large very vulnerable population people dont realize that a lot d of people die in nursing home but if you just look at new york city if you say theres about 30000 who die i think after they do a good job of counting guided nursing home it will be 60 also nationwide theres about 80000 who die that number will double and i think it will be about 200000 people in the United States right now only 30 states are reporting but thats still 20 states that are been unwilling to count the people who are dying and nursing all. Those numbers there are lists and i think some of that is political right the Nursing Homes are scared because when the word gets out about how this is there are scared about what that does to their image the governors are scared because it makes them want but finally everybody is coming around to realize that we have to know the right numbers so that we can deal with this correctly. Republicans controlling the Michigan Legislature claim the states Governor Gretchen Whitmer trampled their authority with stay home orders and other restrictions that has hundreds of protesters have defied the governess policies outside the State Capitol calling her a witch a nazi and the virus itself. The. Protests in michigans capital lansing have been going on for 6 weeks already on friday the local Prosecutors Office said that the man was charged with making credible Death Threats against governor whitman michigans not the only state where people are challenging lockdown policies in minnesota protesters there are rejecting their governors measures claiming that theyve caused the state to suffer even more harm with heightened suicide rates she did to the Economic Impact of the shutdown we spoke to locals from both states. I think americans need to realize their freedoms are being taken away and if they dont stay in the prison right now there wont be any freedom to do you know. How many businesses in this state cant even can afford to stay shut down for a couple 3 months and not many i know of. Theres no strategy right now the whole thing is just been a stalling game the only strategy so far is stay home. Thats not a strategy for. Give us radians i have no power to sit home the 1st week were at any last week right indeed so me he just off i dont have im not going to join if i dont know now anyways and so i better let me resections the door and i do it in anyway and yet he still didnt open up the churches which of their 1st amendment rights. The governor was picking winners was because he opened a candy store and allowed 250 children in their 21 that let the guy my scouts put out my eggs and the cemetery of our veterans are passed away. Earlier in an unprecedented move facebook removed 8390000 t. Lockdown community of michigan this is they acted in violation of the state order to stay at home and live in the state of wisconsin is Supreme Court outlawed the lockdown so its unclear how the social network will react given the differences between states i spoke stated that events opposing the u. S. Government social distancing policies will be banned from the site is an issue we put up for debate. As a private Company Facebook can do whatever to ones even if its a morally wrong idea and the situation like that the fact that facebook is shutting down political debate is taking it one step too far told time and time again that the arab spring was organized on base so the base book allows massive revolts in foreign muslim countries but not in america where theyre based where they get massive tax credits where they were handed in with the government where they get a free pass on everything these companies are its not just so simple as a private company like you want to kick someone out of your bar i mean they get way more complicated than this and so theyll look at a group like the ones that are being shut down and say these people are dangerous theyre going to upset the stability of whats happening when really is often just people who love this country love this constitution and really dont trust the government and the government doesnt give as many reasons to to trust that you have the right to choose to work rather than to choose to follow an idiotic government directive the solution is for people to voluntarily say look the government has failed to handle this at every level they have created a medical shortage where we never needed to have one they dont know what theyre doing theyve lied to us theyve changed their story many many times so we need to do this on their own and many people will voluntarily as has happened in those days that have reopened will voluntarily stay at home we slowly reopen if we protect the people who are most vulnerable yeah of course you have some work cases youre not i dont think youre going im going to help expert but it doesnt seem like youre going to see a massive spike you can always look at countries like sweden that never shutdown so its come to a point where youve got suicide youve got Mental Health issues youve got drug overdoses that are skyrocketing i think were seeing real problems with with what the directives have done to shut down this country weve gotten occur thats what we were promised now its time to. Wealth and to Socio Economic rights advocate. People should think like a collective and considerate of this. The our collective who creates the cover and right now for the safety. Of people collectively its necessary that we kind of shelter in place youre not allowed to put the mice my family and myself as well because you just you want to just go out and take those type of chances with a virus thats nontrivial its not ok to use facebook to go into a group and say hey we need to hang the governor but thats exactly what was happening the page was shut down because. Of the immunity guidelines of facebook which john allow for in inciting by werent towards other people but the people who were protesting came with armed weapons a k 47 s and military style weapons to stand in front of the Michigan House of representatives and protest why do you need a gun for who are you shooting call the 19 is a virus what are you absolutely brilliant gun to a protest over by a stay at home arms or what are you trying to accomplish who are you threatening. If you think coronavirus pandemic has put politics on pause think again a case in point is with the us where the leading figure in the socalled russian collusion saga adam schiff has been accused of well being economical with the truth the charge surprisingly comes from the wall street journal which traditionally doesnt have too much sympathy for team trump so ask a teller explains. Once upon a time in a large field washington looked a man named adam schiff from his tower on the hill he spent years trying to say dryden dont trump but then one day himself and it up saying i am one step hold the truth to release corroboration of testimony shows that adam schiff spread full food shamelessly about russia and double trouble for 3 years even to his own committee gathered cold 3 evidence he misled because he repeatedly on an issue that can fumed american politics no one should ever believe another word he says as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee she fled to russia trump collusion private back in 2017 of the 14 months 50 plus witnesses 6000. 00 pages of testimony the contents of which has now come to light and guess what no conspiracy and our attention just lost these freshly released transcripts reveal that top intelligence officials who came in for questioning tore holes in ship savage head of the conniving kremlin a trust fund tramp for example remember when george got the doctors the jail we have some breaking news out of washington former Trump Campaign aide George Papadopoulos has been sentenced to 14 days in jail well apparently even back then the f. B. I. Director wasnt 100 percent convinced. His comments didnt particularly indicate that he was the person that had had it was interacting with the russians also who could forget the islamist steel dossier used 5 russia gate as far wide as secret proof of madeleine when you look at just what has become public some of the Public Information is very much in line with what is reported in that dossier and of. Well as i tried to explain before theres a lot of information in the steel reporting weve not been able to prove the accuracy of all the information in fact that. Ssage from the transcripts is overwhelmingly obvious i never saw any direct and perfectly evidence that the trump complain or someone in it was plotting or conspiring with the russians to meddle with the election i dont recall intelligence that they would consider evidence to that effect that i saw prior of conspiracy prior to my departure obvious to everyone apparently except this who continued to hop from t. V. Channel to t. V. Channel weaving tales he already knew what true we do know this the russians offered help the campaign accepted help the russians gave help and the president made for use of that help the bottom line is did the russians intervene in our election and the answer is yes i did they make outreach the Trump Campaign and the answer is yes and its not just that she actively misled the public is that he even tried to hide the evidence most of the transcripts were ready for release long ago but missed the shift of the refused to release them off he became chairman in 2019 he only released them last week when the word tell threatened to do it 1st i mean he did make good use of that time he had the transcripts even managed to squeeze in an impeachment to where its just like his previous loser bro court was a bust Little Wonder that had the president feels vindicated so was trump kicks back in the oval office hes probably pondering the irony of ships words the truth will come out the truth. Will come out. I think its just an absolute or a political earthquake theres no other way to put it over 3 years we see top officials including Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff the head of the n. S. A. At the time the. Head of the cia all of them knew that there was no rush of collusion yet they played along as if there was that is best a geisha and they gave quotations say appeared in an all too willing media shift claimed he went on television and claimed that the russians offered to help drum trump knew the russians were offering to help he accepted the russians offer and the russians got it but into office he said all of those things when he knew perfect based on all of the interviews that he did with the people that were there and involves you knew that it was absolutely untrue yet he continued to say it anyway and essentially the attempt was to overthrow a duly elected president the United States whether we like america is immaterial this was a coup or 10 and now we know what we suspected all along that it was all made up and they knew it was. Antibody testing for the corona virus is a most lifting restrictions in the city and comes as much of the global media is simply not going russias official statistics which show a relatively low death toll from the virus story for you after the spread. Join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im sure business ill see you there. 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 led. By. What is true what is. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the. Forum made in the shallows. Welcome back to free Antibody Testing for the coronavirus for all residents of the russian capital the results are expected to help the government decide whether to ease the existing restrictions or to extend the the revenue cases reported in russia last saturday stood at 9200. 00 knots the lowest for several weeks though experts said that its too early to say if the situation is improving more than 63000. 00 people have recovered in total 2537 have died just on off as more on the Antibody Testing and the Current Situation with covert 19 here in russia. So what the russian capital seems to be trying to do right now is that it is trying to figure out how many people have been known carriers of covert 19 and how many of those. Might have immunity to this new coronavirus disease and so far more than 2000 people have already seize this opportunity to find this out now when it comes to russia as a whole while it is up there when it comes to the total number of those infected while it has shown some very very little mortality rate compared to the total figures and that has come into focus with some Mainstream Media outlets for instance the Financial Times it has claimed that russia has some 70 percent more deaths than it is reporting officially the New York Times in turn has speculated that well there are more than 1700. 00 of extra deaths in moscow alone but bloomberg well it has gone further than all of them because it has released an article titled experts demand to know why coronavirus hasnt killed more russians and this wording well it hasnt been perceived well here because a lot of people have seen and this almost a direct demand of more deaths here in russia and so much so that bloomberg even had to rework the initial outline but brushes them back to london has commented on this. Judging by your reports russias response has been to manipulate with figures at home and to spread disinformation abroad with the government acting in efficiently and doctors have an inadequate protection this distorted picture requires a refutation even by most pessimistic accounts rushes before months in terms of Health Care System capacity and death rate is among the best of all major countries your article carries inaccurate statements coupled with an unacceptable and unprofessional one sided narrative now this version has been corroborated by the World Health Organization who have said that russia has bought its Health Care System time by we acting early to this new pandemic and when it comes to 2 facts coming out of moscow the head doctor of what is seen to be as russias benchmark hospital for treating over 1000 patients dennis percent co he hasnt turned to explain what allows them to save so many more lives than in other countries especially with the early italian example has shown us the seriousness of the situation what percentage of cases in russia is here in the capital half of them so although it was happening in easily allowed our system which took half of the patients to get ready our hospitals dont decide who needs a ventilator and who can wait because we have enough of them here there isnt such a problem in moscow because we did manage to prepare but its always easier to ignore this pardon start claiming your statistics are fake. Well one of the comes to all the fuss in the western media russias former ambassador to the u. K. Says that world they just hate to see when russia does Something Better than their countries the choice between the economy and human lives will leave its mark on peoples thinking worldwide for a long time the values of any society could not be questioned more acutely and it is no coincidence that this problem has caused such a rise in undisclosed irritation in the western press in the publics opinion assessment of socalled western values will have a practical assessment in terms of how many lives have been saved and the western elites will have to answer on this soon enough and foresee the pandemic has shown another dimension of the crisis in western societies for which moscow does not bear any responsibility in the past few days russia has been showing steady stable figures of new krona virus cases some have even very very cautiously pointed out saturdays decline in numbers while being very hopeful that this could continue but so far this new testing for antibodies is a new measure that russian government is taking to figure out at what pace to open its economy and to bring life back to normality. Twitter has sent its employees a letter saying that they dont ever have to return to the office mania but they are free to continue working from home for as long as they want to it also said the companys buildings wont reopen until september and that all events are postponed until at least 2021 shifting to Remote Working is becoming a wider trend among employers its not without its problems as the karen explains. Downs are finally lifted life will spring back to normal and we know that working our offices well are all as well it has some companies have found their plans for further work from home systems while there is the 20 or so if all employees. Yes i know roland situation that enables them to work from home and they want to continue to do so for ever we will make that happen welding them only has become an attractive new working style of the digital giants to facebook and google are already planning to give employee is the option to stay home thats work its not just silicon valleys its social media heavyweights Good Business its like nationwide insurance optus and j. P. Morgan chase that are also playing with the idea of letting their workers ditch the suits and ties to work and stay put in fact an incredible 74 percent of companies are said to be planning to permanently shift to the more remote work post code that 90 were an Insurance Company our focus is to manage risk with plan for a crisis for years you cross out gas leak and insert curve it but we knew for a long time we needed to be able to lift people out of the office and continue serving old man burgers its a new corporate landscape theres also been endorsed by some politician has everyone who wants to and whos workplace allows it should be able to work in a home office even when the coronavirus pandemic is available so whats the big appeal of having more people work from home well one big bonus is its more Cost Effective according to Global Workplace analytics a typical employer can save about 11000. 00 a year for every person who chooses to work remotely just 6 months of the year the environmental benefits are also very attractive less traffic on the road as demand for office space sustainability at its finest studies show that people who do work from home are actually more successful and surprisingly more productive it all sounds too good to be true maybe it is good things like a lack of structured working hours and absolutes so socialization with work colleagues have a detrimental effect on people to. Stick homeworkers beat as a true grit disadvantage if they dont have the cash to splash out on the latest computers and other gadgets and with office space going on the need it please however it will undoubtedly leaving all those who rely on Office Workers from cleaners to the coffee shops also feeling the pinch regard as it seems that working from home will be even the thing and people whose livelihoods rely on those who are out of the ballots have reason to be concerned just last week 3500 employees of taxi service were swiftly laid off i have a 3 when it is soon call the meetings 3. 100 in my.
