And the lack of Affordable Housing for a living minimum wage gave many people new choice. Thats been a problem with the city knows turn limits on and told me stay away oh miss. The food if there is no answer because you have the required resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. Greetings and salutations here in the United States as we get deeper and deeper into the fight against the cold with 19 we are seeing more and more news stories and expertly crafted publicity campaigns calling attention to the hundreds of thousands of doctors nurses and other medical workers and support staff who are quite literally on the front lines fighting to treat and save the lives of the more than 800000 u. S. Citizens or infected by this virus. They deserve our thanks our praise and our support new York Governor Andrew Cuomo aptly referred to these workers as quote the troops fighting this battle for us. But while the praise and heartfelt thanks are unquestionably appreciated many in the field are starting to wonder if our paul politicians thanks im sure leaving will amount to nothing more than the just words and pageantry much in the same way that those politicians treat our military veterans all parade and no real help or substance new york position Elizabeth May recently pointed out a very sobering problem for healthcare workers writing for the intercept that she observed Public Health public expressions of support for Health Professionals are meaningful but they are also insufficient to drown out the deafening silence from capitol hill in response to mounting cries for relief measures chief among them educational Debt Forgiveness you see because we here in the u. S. Do not consider their good work as vital to the infrastructure of our country unlike they do and say the United Kingdom and other nations around the world quite frankly it costs an arm and a leg to become a doctor or nurse here in the United States of america and shar goes on to point out almost 70 percent of all nurses who who staff the truest front line in this pandemic graduate from training with 40 to 150000 dollars in debt in fact according to shaws estimations at recoated 1000 patient in the hospital today here in the us is more than likely being cared for by a group of workers carrying over 1000000. 00 in student debt to their names that is that that that is simply unconscionable and my friends that means we had better start watching the office. If you will. On a city street you want to. Listen to what she sees as this joyce state. Rice grace suggests least systemic deception is the late show which. Brings joy as. Well ramona watching. Her and i want i mean this is a girl weve seen kind of coded 19 this pandemic stripped away and exposed a lot of the problems that we have in our culture and i think this is another one of those things that got an exposed here in the u. S. Is the fact that youve got doctors and nurses people who are putting their lives on the line their expertise to approach to fight this thing and theyre doing it saddled under you know 4250000 and upwards of that in debt theyre not even get out of bed and i think this is an extremely important thing to highlight because your average your average citizen isnt really thinking about when they think of doctors may think about nurses they see these as highly professional careers these arent for the most part hourly positions they dont think of them as low wage jobs they think of this is something that people are getting back from even though they they paid heavily into their education i think that articles like the one you mentioned showcase and were seeing a lot more of those come out and nurses and doctors speaking out themselves about why the not only why the industry is losing a lot of people but also why you have fewer people actually coming down the pipeline because if you know that youre going to be saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt youre going to be facing something that could could be another pandemic who knows and youre putting your own life on the line every single day what do you do when. Give me a parent to your children everyone is going to get saddled with this debt when you cant pay it back thats very true thats very true in fact and we talk about frontline the c. D. C. Right now estimates the roughly 10000 u. S. Healthcare workers reported having coded 927 have died from it as of mid april just in the United States but they strongly say that the actual figures for that number may actually be even higher than that but those are just the low end estimates its really i mean it it blows my mind when you think about it like other countries around the world they actually some of them even pay people to go to Nursing School they actually pay they cover that costs you go to the u. K. You can go to Nursing School you can go to they cover the cost you know why it to me and it just irks me so much that we are such a. We just dont care about people in this country thats what it says to me its like we we dont know what will you get arent you going to go out and become a doctor on your own you know even going to do a job thats going to help people its just its not i dont think people recognize the amount of attention that needs to be paid to this because i know when i was in undergrad there were i went with nursing students students who would eventually become doctors they worked 2 jobs on top of their externship swithin nursing facilities across the country so they were people who knew the debt load when they got out the majority of them dont come from middle class or even wealthy families so they know that this is going to be a task for them but theyre still willing to jump into this profession right now over 60 percent of the nurses that were seeing in new york city and other cities across the country that have been called in or retired nurse and those retired nurses are still paying back the debt that they had 2030 plus years ago when they actually got their degree and i think you broke the good point too is that its not saying that not all doctors are a lot of doctors theres a lot of doctors down the line especially in Plastic Surgery no who are swimming and swimming in money you know that but thats when you look at the Health Care System as a whole you cant just focus on like the one small subject of like surgeons and people like that who make money and make money because of the expertise of what they do. You know that theyre able to pay off that debt real quick i mean the average doctors are saddled with after medical school this is doctors too in 2001200000 dollars now imagine your student loan that youre trying to pay off its 3040. 00 maybe 50000. 00 a magine 200000. 00 hanging over your head thats brutal with the Interest Rates going up if. Its blue its also really painstaking process because these are the people who they expect to go in this next generation of nurses and doctors and its not going to happen in the majority of places across this country there are in rural areas clinicians where you might only have 3 to serve an entire city or to serve an entire county and one of those reasons is because they simply cannot. Or the debt load to be able to save their communities from potentially deadly things i mean i think that we should start truthfully if we can give you know universal lifting of Public School university you know Higher Education to the people at least start focusing on key groups at least start there and a lot of people are there was actually 500000 people signed move on petition to include forgiving Student Loan Debt for Health Care Providers and even the American Medical Association the countrys largest association of physicians they actually wrote a letter to congress in april 7th asking for federal student loan Debt Forgiveness specifically to Health Care Workers and things like that so hopefully they see in that letter they said for those residents in early graduate medical students with that average is 200000. 00 we urge congress to provide at least 20000. 00 a bible student loan forgiveness 420000 jewish and we will see about holds. Desperate times call for Desperate Measures who would have guessed a police union known for its brutality racism and Human Rights Violations would team up with the nations largest Civil Liberties Advocacy Organization the american Civil Liberties union a. C. L. U. With the support of the paternal order of police is calling on chicago mayor louis likely to end the city wide checkpoints put in place due to the coronavirus pandemic Chicago Police set up checkpoints across the city to enforce statewide stay at home borders officers stationed in multiple districts would stop drivers and hand out flyers to people reminding them to not make unnecessary trips outside of their homes according to the Chicago Tribune though this Public Health p. S. A. In action was well intentioned it didnt take long before community and civil Rights Groups surrounded and sounded the alarm while c. P. D. Spokespeople argue that the increased Police Presence is part of a Public Health agenda civil Rights Groups say checkpoints put black and brown people at risk for increased exposure to cope with 19 right now in chicago 70 percent of the part of the virus. Are black according to american Civil Liberties spokesperson during this pandemic Law Enforcement should be looking to reduce contacts not increase them in forcing 2 dozen checkpoints each day across the city creates a risk of further spreading the coronavirus to members of the c. P. D. And to residents he went on to express his concerns over Public Health being used as a cover for race based policing tactics the return order of police agree with the a. C. L. U. Reinforcing the importance of needlessly exposing officers to covert 90. Funny how the fop an organization that just a few months ago argued not only in support of Police Brutality but against payouts to the families of those murdered by the cops now cares about human life. Mayor lightfoot has some tough decisions to make will she listen to the a. C. L. U. And c. P. D. Or keep moving forward with heavy handed Public Health policies. Thats a tough question put across her desk and honestly i look at it like this like i understand you shouldnt dont put the police and danger nor poor other people in danger look if people are stupid enough they want to get in a big big old group and stand in their neighborhood and hold hands and call for each other or whatever you know. Theyre going to do that you know you cant stop that same thing where protests have been i want to meet on one of the Governors Mansion and i want to go to the capitol and drive their cars around in a circle theyre going to do that these stand homeowners rip remember this isnt martial law. They cant arrest you for leaving your home at least they shouldnt be however its kind of the uniform thing of the government saying no please stay at home to keep safe you dont need to be putting cops in harms way and exacerbating the tensions that are already existing in society through these coach art forms exactly and the funny thing about this is for anybody whos been on social media over the past few weeks there been means upon means a lawyer like light Laurie Lightfoot the mayor of chicago popping up in your fridge telling you dont go there new there in parks and other recreational places soon as you you know open your door and people thought it was funny it was a lighthearted way to show that shes really trying to make sure that the city is safe specifically africanamerican communities within the city because they have such a large proportion of people who are actually getting sick and dying for corona from coronavirus but the bigger question for me happens to be just looking at these checkpoints across the city where the checkpoints are in many cases these are places that had elevated by less levels already so you have individuals who are saying ok well this is just added policing that is just unnecessary but youre also having police argue that we want to protect ourselves we dont want to get sick however these are the same police who will stop you for nonsensical things that have nothing to do with the home borders at all you know theyre still in forcing various regulations for petty crime. And things like that and they somehow dont think kobe 19 is an issue they will theyve got to keep theyve got to keep the money machine go and theyve got to keep to could do ticketing you and all that and getting that like an extra layer of hidden tax of just being a poor person in this country especially poor person the colors of the hey you know what were going to get you for that money that we normally get now that you have to stay indoors will that lou thats our loss of income for us you know him its sad to see that its sad too that its like look at youre going to do checkpoints do them universally across the board if youre going to go to that extent like then make it universal dont just focus on the neighborhoods that you want to call bad neighborhoods or those neighborhoods that you already have a magnifying glass on and are you know crushing those people spirit because they do feel like they live in a police state that didnt do that the other piece is that the. Better off the fraternal order of police and the a. C. L. U. In chicago specifically dont have the best relationship i dont know they have a long history of back and forth wrangling and wrangling they feel you have filed multiple lawsuits and one against the city of chicago and the Chicago Police department specifically around Police Brutality but also around illegal surveillance and several other things and as of just last year so its interesting to see them now come together on this that and that is the oddest couple of couples its amazing i mean thats so you know that its got to be like when you see the a. C. L. U. And the paternal or Police Actually say you know what were going to hold hands on this one then you know like ok them maybe as a city you cross the line you know and i think its important for other cities around the country and around the world to kind of look at this and say ok at what point is is us telling pretty people to stay home and be safe when does it cross the line and when does it then justify the protests that we saw earlier this week and theres abuse of those classic things that we as a society have to be talking about and have to be looking at at what point does staying safe cross the line i will always side on the right of human life i would say you know what staying safe number one priority same time is still going to keep people credible so they do not abuse your rights in that process absolutely you know it is that but yeah never. When i would see that and what that line look like because we talked about that i think thats a very important things to know between liberty and Public Health because thats something that is something that is being grappled with right now even outside of chicago chicago is in the spotlight because of some what many would consider overzealous but what is that line that is that is the biggest important question of the day good question good question are as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand to the brand new portable t.

This app will be available on more devices coming soon and speaking of coming soon coming up we will be joined by freelance journalist adrian car soem and a Software Developer about their project 1000 behind bars. Which helps track the spread of a coronavirus in prisons and jails across the United States really good work theyre doing you dont want to miss this state to watch. Changed Many American lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be sent to the price at the. Grocery dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that very night because a long term. Youre sitting somewhere i. Can just let me see it i guess. I was on the floor some days and i bounced and you know trying praying. Even when i would. Want to. Test the time whereas the without words i was having chilling fever i didnt have any sense of snakes the smell i mean the most you know in the world would you. Recently she was under the old this initiative. That was simon is on ground 0 for research. I have didnt. Push myself to this the main the 58th will go to. The american criminal Justice System combines almost 2300000 people one in 2 adults in the us has had a Family Member in jail or prison and incarceration nation doesnt show any signs of slowing down. Desperate pleas from Justice Reform advocates Families Community members and activists are ramping up as called 900 sweeps through jails and prisons with nowhere to turn and time running out there are many questions how can you stop the spread in prisons and jails where do prisoners go once they are released can they be quarantined piecemeal responsiveness from state leaders lease prisoners and their families hopeless and time is running out americas Homeless Population and its incarcerated one face similar constraints Mental Health needs unemployment lack of housing and in many cases addiction ed being black or brown to the mix and the endless web of despair its even more complicated ways of tracking coping 1000. 00 communities are steadily emerging but not much headway is being touted on tracking metrics for the incarcerated joining us now to discuss a new project designed to track over its impact on prisoners and more is journalist and reporter. And Software Developer. Thank you both for coming on the show to be there was a lot to talk about in releasing prisoners but the bigger question is what happens if and when they are released you know i think its group but theyre being released but it doesnt know its kind of a lot of foreign crime in the prior potentially because where do these prisoners go now but theyre released to start with the word room. Thanks jesse thanks for having me on i think its incredibly important that we make the connections between incarceration. And also the Housing Movement lots of people who are reentering society may not have a stable place to go. And it brings up the question of how do Homeless People who are in scene and stay at home when they dont have a home and how do we prevent the virus thats being spread behind bars from entering communities and further exacerbating it. So people who return home will obviously face the traditional barriers to free entry in the ways that the state has not been able to support them in reentering society but on top of that you are not able to go to the Welfare Office to apply for welfare if you dont have a printer doesnt matter if youre not able to access the Community Resources that youre able to and youre also having that added layer of protection of whether you have Health Care Even if you are positive you dont have health care you dont have a doctor what do you do in that situation so if youre lucky enough to go into a shelter. And say that you have addictions and are able to be sober how do we know if shelters are practicing. How to how do we know if shelters are practicing what is recommended when we know by the truth of the cars that this is a spreading within prisons so theres a real absence of need on behalf of the state to. Prevent this from being spread by. People who are being recently released and it just reveals the truth that we already know that reentry support services is pretty not existant for people and especially if you are a drug user if youre. Black or brown if youre disabled any of those things can base tremendous varies on top of living post incarceration. And age arent you touched on this a little bit but what types of Reentry Services specific to this pandemic do you think are necessary and do you think that theyre actually going to come about in terms of having tools once these individuals do get out of jail or prison. Yeah i mean its something to mention is that a lot of these services were inadequate from the beginning because people have been on the street theres a high correlation so even the support that is available to people is not accessible so in particular with Affordable Housing accessible housing a lot of that is not available to people but it requires a lot of people where youre apart is a lot of bureaucracy a lot of Recovery Services and programs that would otherwise be available to folks who are interested in recovery do have substance issues are not i. As open as they would be a lot of workers are at home so theyre physically youre not able to lay go in. And have your health care as you would if youre relying on telemedicine thats great and all but what happens if you dont have a phone if you dont have a computer if you dont have reliable why so i think it really raises a lot of questions about the lack of support we are getting you to be true but on top of it you know how many workers like what is deemed essential in supporting people who are reentering and you know what are the barriers that already exist. I want to move over to you know the coping 19 behind bars i think is a project is a much needed True Community service what youre doing there tell us a little bit about what inspired it what it is and what inspired everyone to do this and how does it actually work. Sure the project is actually less by a. Developer of the project from the get go i just helped develop a lot of the tech stock around it but the inspiration for the project essentially was that there is not really any good centralized tracking mechanism for tracking the cases of over 90 in prisons and jails in this country. Partially because of how. How many different layers there are of incarceration between state federal and county to city levels and also just that even once you get to like all of those different layers not many of the necessarily publish information particularly readily so the idea of the project was to have a website to report on this information and also to be able to collect this information and part of the reason why is because a fair number of these agencies are incarcerated people are not releasing information on this so the only real way to get Accurate Information is to. Have people. Report or have people report. Cases that they know of in. Facilities was not hard for you to put together as a programmer i mean how difficult was it getting that information as you said its you know these people arent really forthcoming a lot of times where the disease years in prison and things like that out was it hard getting that information and then trying to program a system that was easily readable for people to kind of look at at home and say oh wow ok this person that mark calls and or my brother or my sisters and me for this we. Were really for shit that google maps as a pretty nice interface that we were to assure that but there were definitely additional things that we kind of do on the side. One of the other things is weve had like an anonymous form that allows people to submit interviews. Is nice because. At an entity when youre dealing with people who are incarcerated it is generally provides for an ability to have more Accurate Information. Because theres less of an ability for it for it should be traced back to. You fear of retribution or anything along those lines you know i think were having a mission i can both agree that you guys are doing some great work up there and thank you for coming on today and telling us a little bit about what youre working on there and i think its a good service that you doing thank you so much and to go where it is to bring all this up. And Software Developer you are set up thank you very much for coming on today. Thank you for having us. If all the images of wildlife emerging flowers in bloom in clear skies dont want your heart i dont know what will nature is a beautiful landscape an eco system of wonder that we are entrusted with protecting the Green New Deal and Global Climate protests reinvigorated and breathe new life into the Environmental Movement but as much as democrats and progressives have been on the front lines of this in recent years it was republicans they got it started birthday was celebrated for the 1st time in 1970 by president Richard Nixon over 20000000 people from across the u. S. Planned intended earth may have been biting pollution and pledging to make our world sustainable for years to come it was also rickson who created the Environmental Protection agency and signed the clean water and Clean Air Act though this year earth day may look different without its traditional large gatherings you can still do your part. Protest in action campaigns protecting our environment shouldnt be a partisan issue. And that is our show plea today remember everyone in this world were not told were loved enough so tell you all i love you i am i rove and and im a nice across keep on watching all those talks have a great day and. This is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. Who happens to have family and daughters in florida another mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in healing messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the Police Needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be be. Shot after shot as far as i feel. We dont know chills just for the. End of this trial unfortunately you. Will still not know. Welcoming our viewers from around the world live from Central London this is hour to u. K. The u. K. Governments flagship coded 19 home testing website shuts down hours after opening despite promises from the Health Secretary thats as wales followed scotland with a long down exit plan over talking to a medical expert referenced by the us president that just to safely lift the restrictions. The Opposition Labor Party claim dozens of companies have offered to make personal protective equipment for frontline medical staff that have been ignored by the government ill be talking to the chairman of one such company. And the e. U. Accuses the u. K. Of dragging its heels on postwar exit talks saying it cant refuse an extension if it doesnt keep moving forward well hear from our europe correspondent. The u. K. Governments coronavirus testing site shuts down within a few hours of opening as pressure continues over supplies of protective kit for frontline staff thats as the welsh minister followed scotland by proposing a long down exit strategy despite westminster story fusing to reveal nationwide planning well out here caseys around 8 joins me now with all the latest either research so what is the Current Situation regarding testing on this personal protective equipment well weve seen of course many calls for testing to be ramped up but it comes on a day when you know weve been receiving gets another high death toll across the country 761 people in england scotland and wales sadly losing their lives in hospital after testing positive for coded 19 and yesterday we saw the Health Secretary matt hunk addressing this issue of trying to get testing kits out to key workers who he said would be prioritized by the government. We can make it easier faster and simpler for any essential worker in england who needs a test to get a test from today employers of essential workers who will will be able to go on gov dot u. K. To get a test for any of their staff who need a test and from tomorrow any essential workers who need a tast will be able to book an appointment on gov dot u. K. Themselves directly this is all prize for people in essential workers households to who need a test its all part of getting britain back on her feet. Well weve seen that website opening. A door at 8 am for testing kits to go live they sold out within half an hour and the governments own website announcing at 10 am that those kits were sold out and the applications had closed now thats led to an apology by the department of health and social care apologizing for how quickly the system has shut down perhaps an indication of just how high the demand is for this type of equipment and the kind of pressures on the supply chain now speaking of which we know that there were expected to be shipments of p. P. E. Coming in from turkey and a number of issues around vats because only 32000 surgical gowns arrived in that shipment thats understood to only be enough to last for several hours it was supposed to contain the shipment that is 400000 gallons and. As well as for 84 tons of protective equipment last night the government said that 140000 gallons had made their way from but again these numbers simply just scratching the surface of what those n. H. S. Staff need to get the job done it figures there i mean what about the plans then to ease the lockdown well weve seen yesterday scotland announcing they had an exit plan with which they would hope to follow if they were going to lift those lockdown restrictions today it was that of the Welsh Assembly and the world government to release their plans for exits. It then sets out the certain questions we will use when we consider each option for relaxing restrictions would easing a restriction have a negative effect on containing the virus does a particular measure pose a low risk of food or infection how can it be monitored and enforced can it be reversed quickly if it creates an intended consequences does it have a positive economic benefit does it have a positive impact on peoples well being and importantly does it have a positive impact on the quality now of course the time spent in lockdown is caused quite some anxiety for a lot of people across the country and you gov have carried out a poll to see what how the public feel about it according to that poll just under 50 percent said they were feeling more anxious 45 percent said the situation was making them feel saba over 30 percent said they were financially worse off now despite this most people would still prefer for the lockdown to continue with the just of 50 percent wanting schools to remain closed both primary and secondary just under 70 percent of people hope that those who are working from home will continue to do so and nearly 3 quarters 72 percent say that they want the older generation to stay at home during the course of this pandemic and of course thats something which is going to take a strain on the Mental Health particularly of those vulnerable older citizens yes into indeed it does he said thank you very much indeed thank you. Well meanwhile u. S. President donald trump has found himself in hot water after falsely claiming disinfectants could be used as a treatment for corona virus. So supposing d we hit somebody with a tremendous whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful light and i think you said that hasnt been checked but youre going to test it and then i said supposing you brought the light inside the body you can which you can do either through the skin or. In some other way and i think you said youre going to test the 2 sounds interesting or it will be right in that i see the disinfectant but knocks it out in a minute one minute and is there a way we can do Something Like the. Injection insider or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number of so be interesting to check. It and in a lot of those comments were now joined by a medical product expert him around the back to discuss how we might lift the lockdown on talk about donald trump as well iran thank you very much indeed for joining us well donald trump suggested injecting people with disinfectant thats actually one of your Home Products isnt it. Well you didnt name its. One of the i cant confirm it stage but if you if i set aside the comment about. The injecting of the product just to give a little bit of context he is referring to was a completely natural chemical free alcohol free 5 organic approved by the us. F. D. A. Tested in World Health Organization labs and at the beginning of the week it was. The results len the test. Topic a lab and was found to be 99. 99 percent effective. Almost instantly against the surrogate. 19 for the point is and we have to talk why this then it is a case of a what we have to say is total nonsense to inject it isnt it. I dont know if he was referring to our product and we certainly at this stage have an equally. This that we havent talked about that however im saying terms of context. Most people the common thing obviously are to think rightly. With any parties talking about has chemicals and the nature out oh and there are products out there several of the various ective and to kill a whole host of deadly pathogens and improve. Shes talking about some of the some of the formular and not being used in some sort of vaccine not the actual product but really when you hear the word disinfectant you automatically think chemicals and in the u. K. Sanitizes under the under the n. H. S. The policy is that they should be used the d. N. A. Tests they have to have a certain amount of corn chemicals in the make this disease point quite new an honorarium on a just a card for them so were not talking about injections were talking about general hygiene as well it takes admitting all the looking for the lock down which is something you want to talk about how we rely on people to be more hygienic and what about forcing people to west facemask you think that would work. Well if we see if we talk about face masks for the medics and frontline workers theyre not wearing just face masks theyre wearing personal protective equipment. And theres many forms of that combination to protect you and those working in what should be sanitized conditions with very little external interference. And theres obviously a shortage of p. T. As there as of old notes so if you start having the general population i mean in the way weve got one and a half 1000000 n. H. S. Workers. 656000000 people so you have the general population start wearing face masks then thats going to pose a real problem. For the medics and will sort of is because people talk about the n. H. S. They scare staff the Emergency Services and those that you know volunteers food banks things that say the public its theirs that there is no International Agreement the majority of advice is that it doesnt really help it gives you a false sense of security and and on its own you if youre not wearing the exact same right type of mosque which you are likely to not be youre buying it. From a general store its not going to give you the protection you need the imam is going to want is a case of just maintaining that general hygiene that we have been advised to do is the way forward isnt it ironic that thank you very much indeed for joining us thank you. You know. What its been reported that dozens of companies have offered to make personal protective equipment for frontline Health Care Workers have been ignored by the u. K. Government the Opposition Labor Party says its been its been contacted by over 30 Different Companies whove approached the government with offers to help but have received no reply want us company is Network Medical products thats based in the north of england the firms own annual mercer says hes still waiting for an order from the government he added that if the order doesnt come hell have to find alternative arrangements we have made the decision to export from the end of this week theres a huge Global Demand for our items mostly within europe but also some countries in south america we want it to be sold and used here the materials were sourced in the u. K. But our office have been met with generic responses from officials no orders have been placed so we will have to ship them abroad. Well labor said the other firms who approach the Party Include one company that can provide up to 8000. 00 facials per day m. P. Rachel waves has written a letter to her counterpart in government michael gove shes called on the government to clearly outlined the number of companies that have offered to make p. P. A. And the number of office taken up while the government says all orders need to be properly assessed. We are incredibly grateful thousands of offers of support from suppliers as part of the National Effort to ensure that propagate p. P. Is reaching the frontline we are working rapidly to assess these offers ensuring they meet the safety and quality standards that our n. H. S. And social care workers need and prioritizing offers of larger volumes. Of a moral the issue of supplying protective equipment and im joined by my new factual michael not again michael thank you very much indeed for joining us youve offered to make tens of thousands of pieces of protective kit whats the latest from the government well i havent heard any more. We informed them 10 days ago that we were here prototypes of. A face shield or clear riser. Which would be made to british standards that one of 66. 00. I have heard no mo. Which which is not a speciality we are trying to blind manufacture it with. All our workers this Skilled Labor in brazil and were there were ready and waiting if we can do to assist this. Assistance crisis they will be all for it as they would argue that it takes time to check if new kit meet standards and of course youre also talking about the issue of spending public money in the has to be more bureaucracy and checks to that that. First of all of course theyve got to check our standards but they havent actually talked to us they havent asked for a sound book its been medication other than through some cranky quite difficult porker over a web portal and thats it made it through the normal commercial life but. It wouldnt happen like this but you really get a response very quickly now is it would it be for your company to produce that kit. Sort of how alone and how easy would it be for your company to make that kind of care well theres 2 parts to it one is that you go carting the clear advice or thats one thing which we can do on our own lasik after which we have but that is a bit slow now with that plus our assembly we could make 10000. 00 kits a week and we could be up and running within 6 days however im looking at partnering with a Packaging Company that could cut those devices that clear biases are much quicker. Than we could throw a laser cutter through it dichato they could they could cut a lot more than we could do and if there are those discussions are successful we could be making 30. 00 to 40000. 00 standard per week most impressive numbers that mean have you considered selling your kit abroad like some other companies are doing im not interested in doing that thank you no and i will party in the meantime scott on the Government Back Companies Like yours i mean are you hopeful that all the change in policy. But i would hope so i mean monkey point is all of our workers are furloughed the government is paying their wages to sit at home im saying to them look ive got skilled workers in bridgeville british workers ready to put the show to the will and they could come back and work and not be paid or sit at home why not why not Michel Martin thank you very much indeed.

When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Welcome back to the 2nd round of practice it trade talks has concluded with officials in brussels expressing frustration saying the u. K. Is dragging its feet of war on this then are joined by europe correspondent peter oliver. Out of there peter so talks have concluded for now but the e. U. Wanted happy are they. Well Michel Barnier said he was disappointed with progress being made to one of the in the activity coming from the british side the e. U. Chief negotiator in these breaks it did a nice break that talks said there were 2 key important dates one of them in june 1 of them in december the june date is essentially the cutoff to extend the Withdrawal Agreement. Does the december dates and thats the date that britain will if there is no extension leave the European Union in an economic sense of course they already left in a political sense earlier this year. And they will essentially the Customs Union they will also leave the Single Market with all of the Economic Issues that are said to come with that as it stands at the moment in fact Michel Barnier talked about at the moment it would be an economic shock coming with inside inside an already quite serious economic shock talking about the problems to europe and the u. K. Economy that are coming from the corona crisis that were facing at the moment the current u. K. Stance mr vanier pointed out is to reject an extension of the Withdrawal Agreement written into that agreement is the ability to extend it by one to 2 years at the moment the u. K. Says theyre not interested in that mr bania responded saying if theyre not interested in what they need to make progress because the clock is ticking. We cannot accept to make cynically if progress on a limited set of issues honoree we need to make progress on all issues in bylane we need to find solutions on the most difficult topics the u. K. Cannot refuse direct stand the transition and an acim to slow down discussions on important areas. Well Michel Barnier pointed out that the as far as hes concerned there are 3 key areas of focus whether there will be an extension to the Withdrawal Agreement that of course comes up in june how to what type of deal would be in place if there is an Extension Come the end of december what type of economic deal would be in place and also what type of Partnership Agreement basically what type of relationship the United Kingdom and the European Union will have post breaks that if it is going to be at the end of the symbol whether that comes with a deal or without a deal he said that that being 40 plus video conferences over the last week between the 2 sides but pretty much described them as disappointing there are many more talks to coop over the next couple of months but that june deadline is looming fast Michel Barnier is saying this really steps are going to have to be taken progress is going to have to be made otherwise the Big Decisions going to have to be made there whether there will be an extension to the Withdrawal Agreement or not peter oliver in berlin thank you very much indeed thank you. Now the crowd of ours pandemic has hit University Campuses as a report warns of financial catastrophe if students stay away the university and College Union says institutions could lose up to 2500000000 pounds in in fees alone next year a Government Backed initiative to limit student numbers hope to spread intake across universities preventing a huge slump in demand but the report warns that this could be ineffective if applications fall even further it comes as some lock down institutions continue to charge remaining students rent despite facilities being closed but as our u. K. Shadier ed was daschle has been finding out some are now refusing to pay. Universities up and down the country would normally be very busy especially considering that the final is just kicking off but amid the Coronavirus Crisis the change of scenery couldnt be starker when knocked down began thousands of students jumped on the fast train back home to their parents but many are still left cooped up inside their halls of residence with universities still demanding they caught right many are now refusing well theres no purpose for the us to be on campus and universities and i started as so you paying your full rent which you have paid for everything to be a joke but nothings available and in a time where most students are 0 contracts and theyve lost their jobs now on the radio for duran they using all of their Student Loans they got no money for food or drink George Graham a tailor is a fast yellow undergraduate at the university of sussex who lost his job in a bar and is now relying on drilling savings to survive and he isnt alone play people who have lost jobs under the law and will not. Work but many students including international ones are trapped in single rooms on campus and most cant return home because that would flout the governments lockdown measures and ive also got asked so i have im part of shielding advice so for me ive got this issue of contention of by financially i can actually afford the rent so i could either risk being financially in trouble or i could risk breaking the law of the creative virus bill and also risking my health your policies are encouraging. Students to look around and it is a Public Health for some universities have allowed students who have left campus to cancel their contracts or receive concessions on their rent and those left behind say the policy is grossly unfair although the physical not used in the very best still occupied with their items so what is the difference why are we. To university because of government legislation and we have to pay full price for people who left before the 27th but all their stuff is still here they get they dont have they dont pay a penny george has written to the vice child star about the situation because it could inevitably affect his studies if we dont pay the payment. Then we can leave whenever we leave we have looked over exactly but that pain will be pending on our account and if the pain is not clear to the account we cant continue with our degrees he only received a generic reply with a promise of a personalized response to follow the university has previously said it will provide help we do appreciate this is an extremely unsettling time for us students on campus and we wish that time at sussex could be different we hope that our students know we will continue to do everything we can to respond to their needs its not just about money with experts warning that the covert 19 pandemic could have profound and potentially huge impact on Mental Health students who are left in the dark could be the west head extremists. Im not seeing a doctor im seeing a new one but im not for going on 6 weeks or seeing friends for 6 weeks my room is maybe 3 or 4 metres long and look to for me is why id. Like to extend my life a law students i do worry for the ones who are in a hole was completely by themselves or there are students who are you know i meant has a Mental Health video because a lovely invoke whos a lovely but it does feel very isolated elsewhere those withholding payments have got results the university of london changed its policy so students no longer have to pay rent and can keep their belongings in storage for 25. 00 pounds a week while other universities including lukes have also taken some action as part of our plan to support students through covert 19 like us the university has taken the decision to offer reduced accommodation fees to many of our students and University Managed accommodation we appreciate this is a very challenging time for our community and we hope our decision to waive accommodation payments helps ease the financial burden for our students but for some that simply doesnt go far enough people have turned over. Sent those very tempting for people to do the up and stand up for them to pay of our. Own and not been struck me puts those in a weak position it feels like a cynical attempt to split salt pit us against each other to break the strike the only asking is just to be humane and just recognize the situation that were in is your reputation is your money worth more than your reputation because there will be years to come of this and use theyll just they will then become University Nobody wants to say shot to edit stash d r t u k london and ill be back with more news in just over half an hour saying.
