S. Its kovan 1000. 00 growth rate did slow to a record low of 3 percent or 8126. 00 new cases in the last 24 hours. Well its brand new must cohost kristie i for some Market Analysis kristie the modern a crown of our respect seen a trials are showing some promising results here and are fueling a rally in the stock market the dow is up nearly 4 percent what are we seeing. Why i think one of the big news is madonna as you just mentioned the Company Reported that after 2 doses all 45 trial participants had developed coronavirus antibodies now meanwhile this is still very early data but still very promising so we are massively up this morning around 3 percent across all the end next days as fed chair paul promised americans that quote theres a lot more that we can do to help the economy during his 60 minutes interview he also hinted that the fed is not out of ammo yet and that there is no limit on what they can do with these lending programs now this is kind of reminiscent of morrow jockey when he famously announced whatever it takes basically with this just are investors are now in a buy everything mode now knowing that there is a safety net with the fed buying everything including Corporate Bonds now all the gains today are being led by some of the most beaten down and heavily shorted cyclical names such as autos Energy Transport banks and more than 90 percent of the s. And p. Are rising today so this may be overly optimistic as were likely to see some choppy trading as states are still struggling to be open the economy is well kristie where is all this buying coming from and is it even sustainable. Well it would look at thats where it gets really interesting because according to the latest from Deutsche Bank flow data hedge funds and various other levered investors professional investors have continually tried to take down exposures including today during this rally continuously selling out of all the positions and winding down their exposure so by contrast robin hood Charles Schwab all the retail brokers theyre reporting record by volumes today so this shows you that right now institutional are selling out and selling down to Retail Investors and this is kind of concerning as you have the pros getting out of the market while retailers are kind of buying everything in sight thinking that theyre getting it at a bargain discount price and also according to no more Asset Managers and never have continued to start a sellout or been short or be very hesitant to equities month to date well kristie let me turn it over to to softbank whos suffered this huge loss this past quarter not due to their we work situation whats the latest on that front. Old saw thank took a massive hit from we work last year but now with the latest Earnings Presentation it revealed this new valuation for the coworking startup to be now at 2900000000 as of march 31st now stop bank was its largest investor apply over 18500000000. 00 into the company and work was once valued as much as 47000000000 dollars last year before his botched i. P. O. And while there was a time period actor its failure when it looked like it was kind of stabilizing with a hole in one place but the current wave was truly the last nail in the coffin as a pandemic may coworking a dangerous activity so now it seems like the future is in co working in shared spaces rather its home office and teleconferencing well kristie let me ask you one more question do you suggest with all the stimulus is the fed are they actually going to honestly look at negative rates i know they said no last week but is that the reality. I think that the reality is that they are going to have to take a look at negative rates because treasuries right now are pricing it in and as much as investors would want theyre still pricing it and so as much as howard says that hes not going to you may consider and that is nowhere in the cards for the u. S. We will probably eventually get there especially when the entire world is at negative rates its going to be a tough decision but a lot of stimulus already in forced into the economy so well keep an eye on that the west coast kristie i think for that analysis thank you. For all the talk of the need for Contact Tracing apps there are reports monday that the tracing technology being jointly created by apple and google will be virtually useless well according to the Washington Post local Health Authorities and states like north dakota as well as in countries such as canada and the United Kingdom well they say theyve pleaded with the companies to give them more control over the kinds of information their apps can collect that without the companys help some worry their Contact Tracing systems will remain dangerously strained joining us now to discuss is boom bust and investigative journalist ben swan good to see you. Or wire is already there and varying countries including some local governments here in the United States now saying that the apple google collaborative will not be of use. While theyre saying that for a couple of reasons the biggest reason is because you have local governments as you said and National Governments around the world that are demanding that apple and google do more the what theyre willing to do right now the issue is simply this apple and google are saying we can use this Contact Tracing app to be able to monitor where people are not everyone has to opt in under this system you can choose to opt in and if you do that it would tell you essentially what the notification within 2 weeks whether youve been in contact with someone who had coronavirus but what it doesnt do is give you a pinpoint a location of exactly where you were it doesnt track your movements from place to place and thats what governments dont like what they want theyre complaining about is that theyre not getting the nuff from apple and google they want to be able to trace exactly where someone was what they were doing who they were around. What point they were at and where they went to next and where they went to next and so theyre complaining but that theyre not getting enough information and apple and google are essentially saying you what too much information and privacy laws and the desires of our customers is that they not be tracked everywhere they go thats right and some countries in europe weve discussed previously in the past few weeks how how they were asking facebook or apple and google to ease some of these Privacy Restrictions and thats where it didnt actually go through with them but let me ask you this apple and google both saying that there are some privacy issues here thats what their take is for the customers right well is this an issue of Data Collection and who collects the data and then who keeps the data and where does it go. Well that is part of it i mean part of it is that these 2 Tech Companies apple and google are saying hey well gather the information well have the data and then well pass it to you and thats in range in a lot of Public Health officials and and politicians because they say no no no you collect the data you give it all to us and well decide what to do with it and there right now theres a battle between essentially the private collection and storage of this information versUs Government collection and storage of the nation and i dont think governments like the idea of not being the ones in control of it but theres also a technical issue here thats very important in order for this app to work you essentially have to have your bluetooth on the entire day 24 hours a day and then when youre out and about that bluetooth is connecting to other devices that also have their bluetooth on what apple and google are saying is listen a lot of our users are going to get mad when their phone batteries are dead right away because theyre Walking Around with their bluetooth on and running this because remember the other thing that these governments are asking for is that even when you turn your phone off or you move to a different app that that bluetooth app keep running in the background the entire time and apple and google are both saying no to this because it essentially violates their their policies to have an app running and tracking you in the background but it would also drain your battery almost immediately especially if you have an older device well especially if you have an older device like youre saying and most it mostly because we still have leased they say the option to turn off the settings on that be able to track us when were not using those apps but then we do know that some government such as the United Kingdom theyve decided not to work with apple and google and instead theyre developing their own Contact Tracing system one of their own but is that really not working correct its really not working and you know when you say these governments have decided they say or it apple and google will just do it by ourselves governments are terrible at most of the things they do but theyre certainly terrible at developing tech and in this case theyve decided to do what other countries are deciding as well as well just go without you and will create this test without. We dont need you now theyre finding out actually they kind of do need apple and they do need google to do this because their apps are not working but i think this is important i just want to mention it Contact Tracing as a concept doesnt make sense right now ive heard from multiple doctors who are saying that Contact Tracing is only valuable in the very earliest stages of a virus and at the point were at now context raising wouldnt even necessarily make sense because so many people in the population either have antibodies in their system or have been exposed and so Contact Tracing now wouldnt even necessarily work very well well even if it wouldnt necessarily work do you see the government continue to push for and will they eventually get what they want well they will continue to push for it and i think you have to now i ask the question is this Contact Tracing actually about covert 19 or is it about more surveillance and those who kind of scoff at that idea and like well you know why why would we believe that well why wouldnt we believe that when every other major piece of legislation thats been passed in this country for the last 20 years has been about developing a surveillance state this would only add to surveillance being able to track your exact location at all times and if you mandated into phones apple and google for instance android and apple devices you would essentially be able to say all people are being tracked by their phones at all times i think government will continue to push for it the question is will Tech Companies go along with it or will they try to be the masters of that space and make governments dependent on them or i mean and then we have on our phones for example apple where theyre asking you can we store your data were health data you can turn that on or off to so do you see them breaking down eventually. But well i think the apple has its own purpose i dont ever say go for apple and google rags i just dont see them necessarily as good guys in this i still dont but i think what theyre doing right now is theyre pretending to resist governments by saying we care about our our customers but they dont really care about our customers just look at their recent history and you know thats not true i think what theyre actually trying to do here is that apple and google or essentially saying we want to be the ones who control the information gather the data store the data and we decide what governments get i mean in doing this apple and google as Tech Companies become more powerful than any government in the world in terms of surveillance they become the most powerful incity when it comes to that i think thats ultimately what they want and thats exactly why the government is turning to that because like we said i mean the government is going to be able to break this we saw the f. B. I. When they finally cracked the apple phone when they were trying to solve and do the investigation in california over the shooting so apple then i dont know that was a p. R. Stunt or if it was just hey like were going to protect you guys and protect the customers but they managed to pull it off at least to make the audience think hey were protecting your data when it comes to that cohost of the swan an investigative journalist thank you for the analysis. So if its just time now for a quick break but here the number is at the close. Tab read out read turn on the t. V. On the about the world it was happening around me i see shows on the screens but in last every day because the fake news narratives that they say they are who may be cooling his clock little good enough chris is with tom f. The barbara fabric globalism make it my own house plenty off that in this war but i found a network that will question science great news that space civil strife Climate Change sample will be cool simply lists all that mainstream wants to do was keep us quiet you watch the right you cant keep a silence critical point says both perspective and question inside direct we dont take sides we walk the dark arts see america of means real talk. You cant be both with the yeah you know what. Im holland cook i invite you to climb with me above the main stream media empire and from that higher fat age to glimpse the big picture question more. Tensions are flaring up once again between the United States and china both over the handling of the chrono virus and Communications Technologies from wa on monday spokesman from always said new u. S. Sanctions on the Telecom Giant threaten to devastate the company. In its relentless pursuit to tighten the stranglehold on our company the Us Government has decided to proceed and ignored completely the concerns expressed by Many Companies and industry associations.

John thanks for your time thank you for joining us today now while way has already been hit after last years restrictions that cut off access to american components and software this was last may these new restrictions now theyre extremely worrisome for the Telecom Giant will they be able to survive. Yes ill be able to survive but this is one more turn of the screw by the us on the way and its effort to slow down the wild ways efforts to globally dominate the 5 g. Market. The Consumer Division of huawei accounts for around about 50 percent of wild ways total sales and this particular regulation is aimed at that 50 percent tha
