And it far exceeds the 2008 global recession when 8700000 jobs were wiped dolls. House correspondent kimberly how could joins me now live kimberly these are shocking figures not unexpected in a way but this will not be what the Trump Administration wants to hair. No but the White House Press secretary in just the last few moments defending these numbers as something that the United States can rebound from in her words Colleen Donald trump the jobs president saying that well these are certainly not good numbers this is something that is a result of coded 19 other words the u. S. President deliberately allowing the economy that was historically record breaking in terms of the low Unemployment Rate to stop that in order to save what she said were more than 2000000 lives in other words this was a deliberate decision to halt this economy and implying that the decision will be the u. S. President should turn it back on of course we know it wont be that easy as weve heard from the Economic Advisor larry kudlow today the reality is that many of these jobs lost well you see as much of it is temporary in nature there are others that will lock return immediately so what this administration is projecting is that the 1st 3 quarters of this year very bad in terms of economic numbers all across the board but they do see optimism for the 4th quarter theyre also predicting that 2021 will be very strong of course hidden in that message is the implication that you will need to reelect onil trump in order to make that happen ok can we can you stand by there for a minute because were going to listen now to something that the white house said just a few moments ago as you said also in that press conference this about the f. B. I. s handling of the investigation into trumps advise that michael and then 2nd listen. The very day that the then f. B. I. Director jim comi sent agents to the white house to interview flynn the f. B. I. Discussed what their intent was beforehand this is what they said what is our goal truth and mission or to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired these notes in addition to other evidence raise serious questions about the handling of that of the f. B. I. s handling of Michael Flynns case did the f. B. I. Confront flan with the intent to get him to lie so that we can prosecute him and fire him did the f. B. I. Manufacture a crime against Lieutenant GeneralMichael Flynn. Can reach 600 for our audience who may not be familiar with the story how we got to this point. Wow ok well this all stems from the investigation into whether or not there was collusion between Donald Trumps 2016 president ial campaign ad russia and the course of that investigation conducted by special counsel Robert Muller there were a number of investigations that were taking place and one of them was talking to the very short lived National Security adviser general Michael Flynn about his conversations with a Russian Ambassador now what the press secretary is referring to there is the conduct of the f. B. I. That the u. S. President minced no words about as you spoke about the conduct of the f. B. I. Just 24 hours ago calling them human scum what hes alleging is that this was a body that was weaponized against the former National Security adviser in other words even though they knew he says they knew that there was 8 no crime committed by Michael Flynn they went to interview him about this telephone call with the Russian Ambassador in the pretext of trying to entrap him of course the reason theyre certain jesting that this would be something useful to the f. B. I. Is because if they could have that indictment against Michael Flynn it would allow them to get him to cooperate in their case against President Trump of course we now know ultimately that there was no collusion found by the special counsel Robert Muller and this is something that donald trump has repeatedly trumpeted but now what we see in light of all of this is in the last 24 hours the department of justice decided that it will drop the case against Michael Flynn who pled guilty to lying to the f. B. I. We should point out so what this has turned into and what this has been for some time on the part of the white house is an attempt to say the Michael Flynn has been exonerated and. Once again this was political in nature this investigation not only gets Michael Flynn but against the president of course we have to always remind our viewers this is an Election Year and were in Campaign Mode and the reason to bring this up is because donald trump is trying to not only say look at i told you there was no wrongdoing but i was a victim of a weaponized department 2 2 of f. B. I. This is the reason you should not only believe me but you should reelect me thanks so much for explaining all of that all the twists and turns is complete how could their White House Correspondent can it is Unemployment Rate is also shot up to 13 percent in april is locked on restrictions stalled the economy around 2000000. 00 jobs awadallah last month the majority in the province of quebec its the worst rate the country has seen since the recession of 1982 the government said most of the newly unemployed workers were only temporarily night off.

S. Servicemen will a pair and a Venezuelan Court charged with attempting to overthrow the government there among 31. 00 people accused of treason after an omnibus earlier this week the countrys chief prosecutor maybe announcement a short time ago latin america and its had to say newman has been following the story and joins us now live from santiago in chile. To see what has the chief prosecutor been saying. That you prosecutors are saying quite a bit he started off by assuring the world or attempted to International Public opinion no that unlike the way that the United States had treated arab prisoners in abu ghraib during the iran iraq we wore venezuela out treated its prisoners well he said that the 2 u. S. Captives had not been tortured or mistreated in any way now remember that there have been ample charges against the venezuelan government about the way that it treats its own Political Prisoners but he didnt get into that he did however say that all of them of these 30 people are being charged with treason with mercenary activities with the attempts to kill innocent people he said he did not specify whether this also included president Nicolas Maduro who earlier had said that this whole incursion was aimed at killing him but later the testimonies by the 2 americans of this the ones that were published or made put on television by the venezuelan authorities both of them said that the idea was to kidnap and taken to another country to get him out of power. In the meantime an International Arrest warrant has been issued according to the prosecutor general for data and dawn and for the head of the American Group that had organized this incursion this is jordan goudreau they are both in the United States because they too are beings.
