Of dollars into indias internet giant geo so whats the deal were going to discuss it all right its time to use i q. We are tracking the latest coronavirus numbers for you worldwide cases now topping over 5100000 with over 333000 reported deaths still leading the way the u. S. With about 1500000 confirmed cases and 94000 recorded deaths and as the world continues its fight against the pandemic the race is on for a vaccine. Is joining us now in studio with more on this angle so whats the timetable were looking at here so if all goes well manella it could be as early as october that we could actually see some type of coded vaccine so right now we do have british researchers at Oxford University theyre moving into advanced studies and theyre aiming to immunize a little more than 10000 people to see if the shot works Scientists Say that they will vaccinate all age ranges from kids to senior citizens. Who we know are the most at risk but today a big announcement from the Trump Administration that the u. S. Department of health and Human Services will grant up to 1200000000. 00 to the drug company astra zeneca to develop a potential vaccine from that lab in oxford monella ok so lets say all goes well do we know how many vaccines are going to be rolled out all at once and if it even gets approved yet so astra zeneca said that actually is secure its 1st agreements for about 400000000 doses of this vaccine now adding that the company had secured manufacturing capacity for 1000000000 doses and it will begin its 1st deliveries starting september hopefully now some Public Health experts say that having that much by the by this october is pretty ambitious and it could be more like around 2021 that will see this vaccine but Health Experts theyre also factoring in trials being delayed even halted if the side effects do get too risky that kind of add more time to it but to counter if something goes wrong like in one study you have other companies being funded to also develop a different kind of vaccine what other companies are doing that so you have the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority monella that is under the department of health now theyre getting out billions with a b. Of dollars to mainly the 4 companies that youre about to see here you have astra zeneca getting the most but then you also have a durned out that just this week its announced theyre moving into face 3 of their vaccine trials you also have johnson and johnson and then a French Company santa fe who will be working not just on a covert vaccine but also the next flu vaccine as well so with 4 companies in creating this vaccine scientists at oxford theyre still pretty confident we could have won by this fall listen here remains the case that. The. Most of it its entirely possible that it is not a transmission. In the road to be sure of time and you could make use of actually you know its going to time. That is bullshit this is really if you want to move towards the end of the good. Usually you go to going to school. And so fair real quick we just heard what mr pollard had to say there there is news this morning about china conducting some vaccine trials whats going on with that right so a study published in the medical journal the lancet reports that actually chinas 1st covert 19 trial the 1st study to actually reach a phase one in Clinical Trials it found that its vaccine was safe and was able to generate an immune response against the virus in humans so already some positive news coming out of the 1st Clinical Trials monella but sticking with china we do have a group of Senate Republicans now introducing the covert 19 protection act arguing that any future american covert 1000. 00 research must be kept safe from quote chinese sabotage and theft and it places the blame for this pandemic soley on china now the 7 g. O. P. Senators led by Florida Republican rick scott wrote the act would require a thorough National Security about you ation it also gives clearance from the department of Homeland Security to the f. B. I. And the state department to investigate all Chinese Student visa holders currently working on Vaccine Research here in the u. S. Now you do have the World Health Organization urging the rest of the world not to do like the u. S. And keeping this u. S. Vaccine away from china but working together to get this vaccine out there quickly hopefully by this fall manila thats probably a good idea. With the update thank you. And brazil could soon become the country with the 2nd highest in 1000 cases Health Officials say the number of new cases spiked dramatically on wednesday right now brazil has some 310000 confirmed cases and about 20000 deaths that is compared to the number 2 country which is russia with about 3 126000 confirmed cases but only 3000 deaths experts believe brazils numbers may be much higher mainly due to lack of testing. And the antimalaria drug President Trump admitted to taking is now linked to a higher rate of deaths among coronavirus patients a new landsat study 96000. 00 hospitalized coronavirus patients in 6 continents found that cork win was actually linked to an increased risk of dying by over 35 percent and doubled the risk of heart arrhythmia medical experts say no one should be taking it outside of a clinical trial. And the 1st day of this years legislative session for the National Peoples congress in china has already sparked protests as the country weighs new measures on hong kong and proposing a boost in military spending the u. S. Is already responding arties rachel bloodbaths joining us from the newsroom with the latest coming out of beijing rachel well manella washington is already condemning the proposal hours after beijing unveiled its plan to impose stricter National Security measures on hong kong which would specifically target acts of treason and so edition protests broke out in the Hong Kong Legislative Council as the proposal was sent to the National Peoples congress in Mainland China for their approval to legislators were even dragged out of the chamber after they voice their opposition and argued that the new law would take away vital freedoms granted under the one country 2 systems policy protesters were also seen in the streets marking one of the 1st demonstrations as a mass lockdown due to the koran a virus put an end to months of protests which demonstrators said were meant to prevent china from increasing its power over the territory while the latest proposal is seen as beijings response to last years protests a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign ministry argued the goal is to crack down on foreign interference. The National Security laws legislation on the special Administrative Region do what is merely chinas internal affair and no foreign country has the right to. The Chinese Government that is determined to. Safeguarding National Sovereignty security and development. Through policy only one country 2 systems opposing any external interference in hong kong. Hong kong chief executive kerry lamb said on friday that she supports the proposal and she disagrees with those who believe the new restrictions would take away the rights and freedoms of the citizens but while the proposal may have the support of some leaders in hong kong it does not have the support of leaders in the u. S. In a statement secretary of state mike pompei i quote the United States strongly urges beijing to reconsider its disastrous proposal abide by its International Obligations and respect hong kongs high degree of autonomy Democratic Institutions and Civil Liberties which are key to preserving the special status under u. S. Law the travel ministration has been unwavering in the support for the protest in hong kong even at times when the clashes became violent some protesters were even seen waving american flags and calling for the u. S. To liberate hong kong the trump of ministration responded by signing the hong kong human rights and democracy act in the law which gives the state department the power to assess whether the territory is maintaining enough autonomy to continue its trade relationship with the u. S. Beijing is also expected to announce legislation that would increase chinas military budget amid creasing increasing tensions with the United States and addition to public disputes over trade and the origin of the coronavirus the u. S. Has continued to increase relations with taiwan and u. S. Warships have increased their presence as well as the west brom errors which have nearly tripled their flights over the south and east china seas this year but even if china does increase defense spending it still wont be anywhere near washingtons more than 700000000000. 00 budget reporting in the newsroom Rachel Blevins are. Right u. S. Investors including facebook are pouring billions of dollars into Indian Telecom pop. Geo platforms all of it in an effort to get a slice of the booming telecom economy in india so joining us now to discuss is boom bust cohost and investigative journalist and swan so when you and i talked about this a few weeks ago facebook making a big play to try to get about 9 percent stake in the Telecom Company who else is jumping in now. Yeah as we mentioned facebook did about 9. 9 percent of cio technologies in exchange for. What was it 5700000000. 00 they paid and its the most that theyve invested in the Company Since they bought whatsapp for 19000000000. 00 so 5700000000. 00 came of facebook but now in the last few weeks we still see silverlake which is a big v. C. Firm they put in 750000000. 00 and then also another austin based Company Called this stuff put in a 1500000000. 00 stake and that happened just 2 weeks ago so were seeing Silicon Valley really doubling down pushing into india right now and trying to get as big of a slice of that pie is possible so why is geo platform such a hot thing right now this hot commodity for private equity firms to hop in and especially right now at this time well look india is a huge market we all know that it is a growing market and one of the reasons that facebook got involved with geo is because facebook is trying to get into india multiple times before and it hasnt worked its not been received well geo reliance and Reliance Industries in india is a huge company it has a massive Telecom Industry there but it also has created its own version of netflix there its own version of spotify there and so essentially what they do is they have the Telecom Industry and then they create these extra services as add ons that people can basically upgrade to and so theyre pretty powerful across the nation of india i believe there are 355000000 customers that belong to just geo reliance and were talking about the population of the United States and their Customer Base in india so theyre a huge company and theyre pushing forward pretty pretty steadily right now and 7 geo platforms is own by someone called hes a billionaire and we should say his aims to move cash ambani his company Reliance Industries you just mentioned there 9000000000 of equity stake in jail platforms has been sold to american investors in just the last few weeks namely Mark Zuckerberg so why is am bonnie making this play hes already a billionaire. Well he is already a billiard hes not just a billionaire our viewers in india will recognise his name because hes also the richest man in all of india so when you hear his name theres a lot of power and a lot of influence there the problem is hes very very diversified including having a lot of holdings in oil and petrochemicals and so hes been losing money because of whats going on right now or worldwide in terms of Energy Prices and oil in those sectors hes trying to make up for it over here with Reliance Industries and with geo telecom specifically and one of the things hes doing as you mentioned is he sold about 9000000000 dollars to american investors in just the past couple of weeks but on top of that hes also working a deal right now with the saudis and saudi arabias Sovereign Wealth Fund as well as the Sovereign Wealth Fund both of them are looking at putting them between 1500000000. 12 respectively so between the 2 of them were talking about another almost 3000000000. 00 being poured into this company at the time its a good thing for his company im not sure its necessarily a good thing for the people of india when you have that many outside investors including you know the facebooks in the saudi or i mean in and by and large stakes of this Telecom Company i mean for the saudis and for the amorality as they probably need to diversify their portfolio away from oil right now to a fellow you know maybe they got one remember. You know the saudis have been doing that here in the u. S. They are Major Players in almost every major Silicon Valley tech company and theyre now doing it in india as well and like you said a much bigger market there than here in the u. S. So we will see how this goes along with that tech at that for us thank you. Thank you.

Welcome to my world to come along for the ride. Tony blair the former Prime Minister of the u. K. Has woken up to a few punches to the gut in the press this week today his eldest son un blasted his fathers decades long platform of pushing for Higher Education in an op ed calling a College Degree irrelevant and suggesting some sort of retraining for lower skilled workers that following our next guest eviscerating the former Prime Minister in his own op ed for r t dot com for suggesting kids in the u. K. Should return to school amid this pandemic George Galloway a veteran u. K. M. P. Is now joining us to weigh and so george 1st lets talk about the blairs i dont know whats going on in that household but the 36 year old son of the former Prime Minister a private school educated lad his whole life also a yale graduate which is an Ivy League University here stateside are his calls for dismantling and reassembling the Education System in the u. K. A bit tone deaf and glib given all of this young mans privilege. Well its 36 years for me to be able to see agree with mr blair to a point on the. Left school at 16 i went toward making enough drew im a graduate of the university of life. Hasnt done the any harm i have long been of the view. Increase in the number of people getting degrees only led to the truth in the law of the governance the fact is we have far too many sociologists. Gender studies graduates war still of all media studies. Enough tradespeople. Yet its men and women not enough mathematicians not enough sun time one of them engineers know enough people that can how about in a street or even change i mean where do you already get a puncture i mean thats 5 flawed thats really a flawed system right lets explore that a little more i mean to this mans credit to the younger. Sons credit here mr blair barring the source of the comments he does have a point given that in many countries like my own here in the u. S. We have scores of young adults saddled with 3004050 is 100000 in debt after graduating university with some very marketable degrees some of which you mentioned they are even unable to fix a leaky toilet in their own home if they had to deal with that americans are no longer producers in the way they used to be perhaps un you know wasnt the best messenger for trade schools but what about that what about trade schools i know we need them here in the us. Trade schools are a thing of the past your evening classes are people improving their skills in work i think the as it has been for me education should be a lifelong thing not something that you do for 3 years unsaddle up the giant it and then come out into a market place which increasingly has no place for you and does not even pay you enough money to repay your student debt which therefore hung potentially around your neck more or less for them and in our case maybe also in yours why it leads to is relying on other. People other countries labor forces to do your jobs if youre looking for a bricklayer to join are or a glazier or a plum are here in britain while youve grown used to calling the polish guy calling the remain in all the bull guinea and god well hes going home know that we have left the European Union and we simply have a skill shortage in britain which is absolutely devastating for the economy when we were building the Olympic Stadium in london in my london constituency i went to see the minister to complain that not enough 2 people from my constituency were getting jobs on the site though all the workers were foreigners journalist she said to me and she was telling the truth there are no there are no applications from your constituency are north trades people out of work in your constituency and thats been almost fatal for our economists or at least in this respect im with the blouse well al one of them wow all right the younger blair ok well give it to him there and another very privileged man making waves for his comments this week is Prince Charles now fully recovered from coded i presume his remarks were calling on furloughed workers to hop to the fields and pick crops and fruits of this years harvest since the u. K. Is short Migrant Workers to do it due to the pandemic what do you make of the princes comments. I dont know why he didnt scramble his whole family all of them and were already paying for them of course to get out in the fields and do it themselves ill tell you this money in the hope youve never had to do it picking potatoes is the hardest work that i have ever done in my entire life. It is absolutely bricking and were going to have to be people properly to do it thats why the workers want to do it because the wages are absolutely pitiful and thats why they have grown used to flying in cheap labor from Eastern Europe from Central Europe votes the system weve had for 40 years i dont think people know that weve left the European Union we are dont pick our potatoes dont pick our fruits or were going to have to be people properly to do them and the workers are going to have to do the work those. Are going to make important sea changes in the labor market and in the skills of the british people and were going to have to have an early wake up call on the i think im with you at this time 100 percent on everything we just discussed today george though i have never picked the potatoes i once upon a time had a job peeling potatoes but thats a different conversation and now here we are speaking with George Galloway its not very not much fun either. George galloway thank you. Devastating tragedy in karachi pakistan this morning after a passenger plane with about 107 people on board crashed in a crowded neighborhood 2 people thought the iraqi leslie survived authorities suspect the planes engines failed during landing at the citys international airport.

And regina ham is over the sports h. Q. Shes joining us now regina its another wild and very wee hours of the morning. So what happened it was an interesting game you know 5 30 in the morning so why not the giants found themselves on the receiving end of the terrible slump and hope their most recent game gets a q. And a heroes would change their luck but of the 1st giants have a runners on the corners here as pitcher jack bergen tries the pick off move to 1st but he gets turned away allowing sonya to score the 1st run of the game giants lead one nothing throw it just over that actually hits a guy 1st to thankfully no major injuries top of 3rd parked on one with the r. B. I. Triple to deep left field and the adults who are heroes left fielder kid. Both teams all level one pretty happy about that but in the end johnny 1st baseman lead a hall with a tear and saying on the left field gets thrown a 2nd giants will tie it all it 3 the 3rd of the game and 8 r. B. I. This season for lee is so not too bad he would not give up top of the 5th any beautiful solo home run by parked on long to center field visitors taking a 53 lead 6 Center Fielder mingling with a double to Left Center Field that will score 2 runs but in the infield throwing error actually allows him. Her one more gentle take that of course and now they pride themselves up 7. 00 to 5. 00 and at bottom of the 8th inning a major leaguer former Detroit Tigers and killer Dixon Machado the r. B. I. Double the center field and im g. Home is the puzzle grimm 3rd he is trying to score and he does giants believe 97. 00 the score holds their night in the giants break their 4 game losing streak which is pretty great im just hungry for some baseball im not getting any over here i have stayed up for these late games i or got up early i had mood i stayed up late i could go to 530 but stayed up for 1 am other saturday game is doable all right well youll see how that is out thank you for that regina and thats all we have for now make sure you keep up with everything in question at all times by downloading our brand new free app portable t.

D. P. Of america by a huge factor and theyre going to buy by. Same with the other 3 or 4 major Central Banks around the world this is what neo feudalism looks like
