That same set. This is boom bust the one business show you cant afford to miss bridgeboro in washington coming up and aside legislation. And an executive order to hold china accountable for its oppressive actions against the people of hong kong the United States has its hong kong autonomy act and did trade privileges for the special Administrative Region straight ahead we analyze the move of chinas response and how the tensions between the 2 superpowers are spilling over on the world stage and coping 1000 cases continue to surge in the u. S. But how do the states stack up against the rest of the globe well take a look around the world but amid the surging coronavirus cases in the United States some pharma stocks are seeing a pop on the hopes for a potential vaccine but could the optimism be a bit premature later on we jump into the race for a vaccine and the possible supply chain issues that could arise once a cure has been found we have a packed show today so lets dive right in. And we leave the program with the latest salvo in the back and forth between the United States and china over the Hong Kong National security act now on tuesday u. S. President donald trump signed into law the hong kong autonomy act previously passed by congress which imposes sanctions on chinese officials businesses and financial interests institutions that violate hong kongs autonomy now a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign ministry respond to the legislation saying sanctions could be levied against the u. S. The implementation of National Security never seen in order to save lives only interests in china make unnecessary and impose sanctions on u. S. Personnel and. Corrected its mistakes implementing the so called. Actually its not interfering in any way in chinas internal failures including Hong Kong Affairs if the United States when doing china we definitely make. Them meanwhile the us president also signed an executive order ending preferential treatment for the special Administrative Region wednesday morning secretary of state address the executive order putting the blame on china. As he said it may try to treat our economy as one country and a single system so must we. General secretary made a choice to violate the Chinese Communist partys promises to hong kong in that were made of a un registered treaty and he didnt have to do that he made that choice we have to deal with china as it is not as we wish it to be other nations are arriving at the same conclusion. In announcing that he had signed the executive order in legislation President Trump also at was asked when the last time he had spoken with president xi jinping of china. I want to know whens the last time you spoke with president g. Of china and do you plan to speak with him in the near future no i havent spoken to one no i dont have no plan to speak to. With all of this in mind lets get some expert analysis from presser Richard Wolfe host of economic update and john dean of the Miami HerbertBusiness School thank you both for being with us today dean quote i actually want to start with you here what is the significance of this hong kong autonomy bill and the executive order ending preferential treatment will this affect hong kong status as asias financial hub. I think it is significant for the following reason it raises the perception of risk associated with doing business in hong kong now much is going to depend on whether or not china goes fost and furious in implementing this security act and much depends on whether or not the u. S. Responds by aggressively removing these preferential treatment or whether or not both countries have made the point and now take a more measured approach in terms of the implementation of the public stance but let me say that its possible that real estate prices in hong kong equity valuations in hong kong could be depressed as a result of this its possible that they could be capital outflows singapore looms large as a potential alternative to hong kong in terms of the Financial Services functions that hong kong currently provides so i wouldnt say we should be panicking at this point regarding the future of home kong economically but it certainly cause for concern much will depend upon the rapidity and enthusiasm with which the 2 governments execute and implement the policies that are in the legislation and now professor wolf we spoke with you. A lot about sanctions in the past on this program are these sanctions that are going to into effect are they going to affect china the same way that weve seen them hurt the likes of iran venezuela or even cuba among the other nations that the u. S. Has sanction. Not all this nimble lancer is not all because china is an economic. And everyone and most of the country is what it really are prisoners of power how things might be described could be frankly as an american i am astonished by the grotesque back quickly hong kong will remain a colony and in poland on the chinese when they were weak they always resented it it was going least we cannot for 99 years it expired 20 years ago all and the chinese have been saying for 20 years name one that territory which will go always there for centuries integrated back in their society every business that ever invested in hong kong over the last 20 years which is most of them knew exactly what the future held in store whatever you think of the way that chinese are doing it i dont think it will make our share of the difference those decisions that take its risks hadnt been made and mostly asked during my next trump who has good reasons to want people to look and other than that this disaster of the American Economy it wont pass as the kind of awful that these things usually are and now dean quotes i want to kind of go back to that last point from the ministry of Foreign Affairs there with china what type of sanctions might we actually see from china in area retaliation it is only a similar situation where it might be americans doing business in hong kong and things like that. Well 1st of all this is another piece of an ever evolving and complex relationship that is to tary orating by the minute. Weve had the trade war weve had taiwan weve had islands in the South China Sea weve have the week has and the human rights and now we have hong kong in the mix as well. I think that as i said before much depends upon what the us does because during the last 2 years whats been very noticeable in terms of chinese diplomatic behavior is that they react in a very measured way to whatever the u. S. Sanction on trade has been and i expect to see that same measured approach in the coming weeks and months with respect to sanctions that they impose they will not be they will not be overly aggressive in their sanctions they will be looking very closely to see what specific executive orders implemented by the various branches of government in washington that have been given 15 days to execute the president s order you know you have to remember also the United States runs a 26000000000 dollar annual trade surplus with hong kong right there are Many Companies in the us that are benefiting from that and dont want to see that go away and i wanted to follow up on some news from tuesday regarding the u. K. Barring Telecom Operators from buying weiwei equipment going as far as having them remove gear from their Network Infrastructure by 2027 now the chinese moshe weighed in on this actually blaming the us. Without any concrete evidence the. The un found in risk as an excuse and cooperating with the u. S. To discriminate suppress and exclude Chinese Companies the u. K. Blame violated the market economic principles and free trade rules and breach the relevant promises made by the u. K. The wrong the season seriously damages the interests of Chinese Enterprises and severely impacted the basis of mutual trust in sign of british cooperation now the us president actually essentially backed of this claim saying that this was his do it. We confronted untrustworthy Chinese Technology and Telecom Providers we convinced many countries many countries and i did this myself for the most part not to use while away. Because we think its an unsafe Security Risk its a big Security Risk now the u. S. On wednesday also placed vsa restrictions are chinese tech firms including weiwei citing human rights abuses so professor wolf i want to bring this back to you why are we seeing other nations acting on the behest of the United States when it actually comes to while away. Well 1st of all there are many nations that mr trump it at least do who ignored what we had to say of britain or that actually not at all for their response number 2 with the british had originally its either all we can organise a truck apparently Boris Johnson built and that will be in nearly as much economic given the as mr trump is hoping desperately for a trade union or bailout with theirs as well. And these were a good trade there im not going on there to american sanctions in precisely the way that other countries are not if you will own the notion that we called weiwei as an official relationship with the Chinese Government and the Chinese Military which they do is good grounds for magdalene. Then you are in that same inviting every country on earth competes relationship with microsoft google apple and all the other Major American Companies who have really you know we met with the American Government and military for decades professor Richard Wolfe host of economic update and john quote of course we could we go into this for hours thats the dean of the Miami HerbertBusiness School thank you so much for your time thank you thank you. And lets turn to the copan 1000. 00 pandemic which is still gripping the world despite efforts to reopen economies now the u. S. Has been a hotspot for cases of the coronavirus for months and set another record for new daily cases reporting more than 67000 on tuesday so lets take a global look at the spread of the virus with r. T. Correspondent side have a day or so where we were wide. Right now there is more than 13500000 people around the world diagnosed with a cold in 191717 point 9000000 or which have occurred have recovered and more than 583000 now here in the u. S. Over 3500000. 00 confirmed cases and 45 percent of which have recovered and another 139000 dead now looking also at the trend of the 10 most affected countries now the u. S. Is of course continuing to climb up now brazil is going down a bit but still averaging about 45000. 00 cases per day india is going up significantly while south africa just a little bit but still not my much now other countries like peru Mexico Colombia and iran remained the same average cases per week but one country that you dont see here in the top 10 is a chilly day thats now being replaced by iraq now mosul which new cases being contributed to casinos gambling halls and nightclubs in the capital backed out all of which have been ordered to close so well see in the coming weeks if iraq remains on the top 10 Countries List brant and now heading back to the United States here what are we seeing when it comes to hotspots within the states. So the us right now is reporting an average of 62000. 00 and new cases per day now more than triple the average just a month ago brand also theres new hotspots emerging in places like. In states like oklahoma nevada which are now reporting a Record Number of new cases hospitalizations and deaths now while other states are seeing a new surge in numbers the majority of new cases remain in texas california and also florida but heres the thing florida has about half the population of california and about 25 percent less than texas and as of tuesday florida had the number 2 death rate in the country in fact the number of new cases reported in florida alone or the past week surprises the total count in most European Countries and you know if florida has its own country it would have the 8th highest case count in the world but whereas new cases in florida are mostly in Miami Dade County now theyre spreading to other major cities in florida like jacksonville orlando in naples same petersburg in tallahassee so its going everywhere in florida and currently 54. 00 hospitals have reached i. C. U. Capacity in florida with 0 beds available now 10 of those hospitals are in the Miami Dade County now another 40 hospitals show i see use a 10 percent available capacity or less and then theres another thing is that both the c. D. C. And the World Health Organization brand recommend that people were masked as a way to slow the spread of the virus now in fact the c. D. C. Even stressed that the u. S. Could get the pandemic under control in less than 2 months if every american were mass but while a california and even texas have issued requirements to where. Face coverings in public florida still refuses to set any kind of mandate once again living it up to local cities and counties to set their own rules so well see and as weve actually seen in the video going on social media american some americans just are refusing to our mass saying that its a friend and theyre our freedom of choice now lastly really quick i just want to discuss testing brand as the u. S. Administered more than 760000 tests on tuesday now thats the 2nd highest number of tests conducted in a single day but i also want you to hear what the president had to say about the testing this week. So we do the testing and by doing the testing we have tremendous numbers of cases if we didnt do that as an example weve done 45000000 tests if we did half that number youd have to have the cases probably around that number if we did if we did another half of that youd have half the numbers everyone would be saying oh were doing so well in cases. Yet even president trams own medical advisors including doug anthony have said that the recent surge in cases is a sign of an expanding outbreak and not increased testing brant r. D. Correspondents are tabular thank you for keeping us up to date. And time now for a quick break but here because when we return the race for a cold 1000 vaccine is heating up and markets are responding to the optimism but is it truly worth it straight ahead we take a deep dive into the race for a cure and the shipping stocks and as we go to break here are the numbers at the close.

Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. And welcome back for all the talk of needing a virus vaccine it appears that in record time we are very very close to having one now according the United States top Infectious Disease specialist Dr Anthony Fauci the 1st covert 19 experimental vaccine which was developed by his colleagues at the end i h. And would earn a will start its most important step around the 27th of july now this will be a 30000 person study to prove if the shots are Strong Enough to prevent against the corona virus President Trump is applauding the move saying that the u.
