Opioid addiction the rich countries scooping up almost all the worlds supply of painkillers leaving africa struggling to get enough basic meds to treat patients. Alone this thursday the 26th of december on quantum radar t. G. V. Will welcome to the program u. S. Democratic president ial candidates a multibillion Michael Bloomberg admits that his campaign has used prison labor they were employed by a firm that run call centers from a private u. S. Prison for women to drum up support for his 2020 election run. We learned about this when the reporter called us but as soon as we discovered which friend a subcontractor had done this we immediately ended our relationship with the company and the people who hire them imagine being so rich you have people who have people who have prisoners to do stuff for you agence being so rich you dont even bother to check what you are spending millions of dollars on. Rita rating we sat in did when we learn a vendor of a vendor of a vendor use prison labor we did know about it and we never would have allowed it we dont believe in this practice and we immediately stopped working with pro com and the people who hired them so how do you do it pay someone to pay someone to tell them my bloomberg is a big spender he was last to do in the president ial race and he has already outspent all the other democrat candidates on Campaign Advertising i mean the guy has so much money he doesnt seem to have that did promise america more work just to. Get it. For president create. Problems. Right america more jobs even if you dont particularly want them what makes it much much worse is that many of the prisons in the states a private run for profit and there are laws that force people to work so if you are in a jail and you are told to work you have to well youll be punished sometimes they pay you as much as 20. 00 a month thats right 20. 00 a month now heres the irony Mike Bloomberg billionaire one of the richest people in america was essentially paying for what is a slave labor to cool people apparently tell them that hes a good guy wait the bloomberg is he was paying someone to pay someone to tell everyone what a good guy he is trump says he wants to run the nation like hes running is business god help us. Everybody says stuff that comes back to bite them but when billionaires do it its generally an order of magnitude. It gets worse the further you dig when he launched his campaign his media bloomberg. News sent out a letter thousands of its journalists pledging to uphold its principle of not investigating its own this is the sort of person mike is Mike Bloomberg started as a middle class kid to work his way through College Business from a single room to a global entity creating tens of thousands of good paying jobs along the way. There he couldve he probably shouldve but he didnt let me continue he became richer year after year he made really a selling bank is ludicrously priced products all gadgets the same bankers who through unbridled greed set off the 2008 financial crash depriving tens of millions of people of those of lifes savings and jobs. Michael bloomberg for president i mustve journalist Dave Lindorff believes that despite bloomberg vast wealth he doesnt particularly measure up as a strong democratic candidate. It really shouldnt be acceptable for anybody liberal or conservative to use prison labor its forced labor bloomberg is a multibillionaire hes worth like 54000000000. 00 hes made his money by you know not paying attention to things like that. Hes not concerned about the little guy. Which i guess becomes you know if youre if youre supposedly a democrat youre concerned about the. Enormous a packer see it a big problem i think its going to hurt him a lot i dont know where people get the idea that bloomberg is the great savior for democrats in the race in the race to get struck he has almost no poll support all the money. Billionaires have not traditionally done that well running for office its. You know you got to have money to run for president but when you have that much money i think that most people are pretty suspicious of your motives in running for office. Addiction crisis many african nations and struggling to get enough legal medication to relieve the pain of that bank since. I did. Before getting morphine in the big boys in a pinch and she was not even able to take the medication because a. Weve both been in management. Human rights if people dying in pain in the country and that is not the human rights. Crisis that has featured far fewer headlines. International attention is the nonmedical use of the painkiller tramadol particularly now for. Control is a substance of growing concern particularly in North Central and west africa closer regions of africa now account for 87 percent of pharmacies cry proces worldwide and not the recent rises jew almost entirely. Trafficking. The numbers are pretty stark the International Narcotics control board says the majority of all morphine used is consumed by just 17 percent of the worlds population who live in western parts of the world at the same time african and Asian Countries can only satisfy a tiny fraction of their medical needs political analyst Alessandro Bruno says at the end of the day it all comes down to money karma Suitable Companies or business is big businesses with many salaries to pay they need and a lot of them are listed in the stock market in other words they have shareholders they have to take care of because these western companies focused on the expensive medicines theyve reduced the bill of the elderly and demand for the natural he wants thats why the subject of morphine again is such a not just controversial its unusual its something that people dont talk about very much its sad to say it cynical but live stick a 2nd seat to profits and earnings and the the entire capitalist system contributes to that its always a matter especially since in the last 25 years. Stock Market Performance has taken precedence over everything else. With the National Strike in france over the proposed Pension Reforms now heading into its 4th week a dance troupe in paris is stepping out of the theater and onto the streets to make their feelings clear. Said to the poll last of us will tell if what the girls have shown you with swan lake is 15 years of sacrifice and its daily work every day every morning with you and there is a limit to how long its possible to remain at that level of life if you want to continue to see pretty dancers on stage they cant go on until theyre 64 its not possible and perhaps the most beautiful protest that paris seen at this step but they dont see is what actually striking behind them they had battles the bread culture in danger and now the latest a sequel. By the french government this strike is now empty its a hit show of support to someone and they according to proxies in the kitchen advice despite how it changed the system is being a sustainable this is the only way to login face is to stick.

As. More money to retire on well not so fast according to process independent hedge advice it is the c. E. O.

All straight here continues to burn and bake with record breaking temperatures and wildfires but the Prime Minister has been out defending the coal industry seen by environmentalists as the root cause of the Climate Emergency the next story in 90 seconds. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Let it be an arms race is very dramatic. Only. Very critical. To sit down in. Welcome back forest fires in southeast australia have been raging for almost 2 months now with firefighters facing extreme conditions against them to a record heat wave with temperatures predicted to stay in the high thirtys to 40 celsius over the weekend and into early next week as of now 5000000 hectares of land has been burned nationwide in australia over the past few months 9 people have lost their lives and more than 950 homes have been destroyed smoke from the fires has blanketed the countrys largest city sydney pollution is also across the critical mark sometimes 11 times higher than the life threatening threshold. On friday environmental activists gathered outside the residence of australias Prime Minister calling for stronger action to fight Climate Change protesters block central streets in sydney demanding that australia declare a Climate Emergency is how the Prime Minister explained the situation. Is taking action on Climate Change what we want is engaged in requests and job destroying an economy crunching targets which is seeking to be postured to us at the moment. From the Australian Association for Environmental Education believes that the governments putting industry 1st weve always had farmers but weve never had flaws look really and. Part of the issue is really bad environmental policy over a long period of time which is allowed the country to get out of that a shipe i think the big reason why theyre defending the call industry is because the coal industry in many many years is boarded so very close to government spent a lot of money supporting governments got a little lobbyist and stuff working with governments on these issues the real issue i think is that they get a significant amount of revenue from the coal industry the jobs in the call industry not that significant when you look at the industries across the whole economy it seems to be an excuse to me i mean theyre not showing any great signs of caring about the environment so i think theres a lot of people in this country who are being given to be quite couple by the fires and the really big issue is going to be how bad it is but in a much.

And plastic pollution is littering beaches and endangering certain species of animals no matter how remote or out of reach. But. In this elaborate tree in the north of the occupation ago scientists study marine animals not plastic at least in theory. No idea what that. But its certainly plastic. Jessica apparel man is a biologist accustomed to finding plastic in fish stomachs she has started a very unique collection. Casually often plastic bags and this was all coiled up in the stomach when i found it had no idea what it was and i all that it just. How did you react when you find this installment i was shocked i started documenting it measuring it taking photos showing whoever else was around in the lab and we were kind of. We were just there shocked to think that these fish are are really ingesting this i mean. To her disbelief the scientists has found plastic in an unlikely specimen known as the long fish. The young researcher was not expecting such a surprising discovery when she began this. Fish live at a depth of about 200 to 400 meters and theyre clearly coming in contact with plastic and it appears that plastic is is truly a deeper problem. Even swimming at these depths the long fish manages to swallow trivial plastic objects. I mean occasionally you might find a brand name such as this. Bottle label. What is this so this is a label from a water bottle dishonored bottle clearly and found amongst the lancet fish. Is a. Design design is a pretty well known. Bottled water company. You know finding finding a label such as this in the stomachs makes it that easy to determine where you know where it may have originated. Theres always more to take than just what you see
