And in what appears to be retribution for the claims of lack of transparency from the Chinese Government the u. K. Is now pulling back its invitation to while away to help build out their 5 g. Networks Prime MinisterBoris Johnson now on the mend from this deadly virus himself initially bucked american pressure against the chinese tech giant but today it seems the sentiment coming from 10 downing street has shifted for more on this we will go to former u. K. And p. George galloway so george how do you explain this about face from the government did they fold to u. S. Pressure or is there more to this. Well theres a massive deflection going on on both sides of the atlantic from President Trump and his opposition for that matter and here in britain its a deflection from their own pitiful miserable failure youre going to have more dead people than anyone in the world and we are going to have the 2nd highest number of dead people from the coronavirus 1st saw someone has to get the blame for the the Political Class in both countries are determined that it wont be them store look over there are appointing china its really a simple as that this despite the fact i should tell you that the government were forced to acknowledge late last night in a very detailed on suck in writing from michael gove one of the top ministers of the china has repeated britain many times over the limited amount of medical equipment and mosques that we sent them right at the beginning of the crisis so were taking desperately needed guns and masks on ventilators from china whilst kicking in the teeth no china will not take this lying down china is too big and strong to be pushed around and theyre also extremely sensitive to insult as the wall street journal found out not. Long ago saw this is heating up on both sides of the atlantic and china and georgia on friday u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o stated that the pandemic originated in china and therefore this is evidence as to why i countries should avoid doing business with weiwei i dont know about you but that didnt make any sense to me how can you make sense of that statement in any way. Youd need to be a crystallographer or Albert Einstein come back to life to make any sense of but i just remind you as i did obliquely the other day china holds one trillion dollars worth of american debt in the form of Treasury Bonds if they dont stop rubbishing china china would be entirely within its rights to dump those bonds and to dump the gigantic everest of dollar bills of the whole china holds more u. S. Currency than the us holds and if china dumps it and moves to the euro then the United States economic meltdown that we are talking about these days will be multiplied many times over so its a very dangerous path the politicians on both sides both countries are following now sure and lastly george on this note on the flip side over the weekend china increased its reported cold and death toll by 50 percent and that event for a magic move doesnt that just justify them blame game coming from the west. Well we did do we increased our estimate by exactly 50 percent because it turned out we hadnt been counting the old people in care homes that were dying of the coronavirus chinas death toll of 3700 or so was increased by 1500 those numbers will seem very small to an american audience considering the death toll that you already have suffered china was being absolutely transparent in increasing its figure and saw britain was forced to be forced by media pressure to acknowledge that actually at least half of our death door again has perished in care home. Julie were still not counting those who are done in the home so. Far for a great job in the us i think it would be best to avoid the mall. When we have such a big beams of our own exactly there are discrepancies in everybodys methods of counting the number of people dying from the virus George Galloway always appreciate your take thank you so much. Pleasure. While many around the country are protesting to get back to business as usual today one business actually is r t its fair project is joining us now with more on boeing employees heading back to work fareed i mean how is this even possible well middle were actually talking 27000 employees going back to work in Washington State which is actually the very 1st state to see the outbreak of coke at 19 now this is the very 1st business on a large scale to get back to work but its not going to be business as usual now during the weeks long shutdown boeing did go through when did a deep clean at their facility near seattle but in light of the outbreak things arent going to be as usual now boy will have employees come in on a staggered shift times theres going to be marks on the floor for that 6 foot social distancing workers are going to have to wear face masks and there will also be wellness checks every shift where youll see voluntary temperature screenings now Washington State is still under a stay at home order but boeings Assembly Operations are considered essential business making them exempt and now monday workers for the 7377477677 extension 77 planes theyre going to be back at work with most of all of those 27000 employees returning to work on wednesday wow. But now boeing has had a lot going on obviously so when 18 in particular with those max jets and those 2 fatal crashes that everybody still remembers fresh in our minds and the planes are. Still grounded its been over a year how could boeing bring back these employees when all these planes are grounded and no ones traveling so how does that make any sense why adding that to that manila boeing customers who actually cancelled their orders as well were talking canceling 150. 00 jets alone in march and just today Company Shares fell more than 3 percent after the China DevelopmentBank FinancialLeasing Company they canceled their purchase of 29 boeing 737 max jets still though boeing did have an order to make 31 jets but those are for military aircraft and actually one is a freighter for 5 x.

A. 18 Super Hornets and 15 growlers bell ok for what about this coronavirus stimulus bill you had many on both sides of the aisle getting a degree at boeing that they roughly got what 25000000000. 00 or so despite their massive failures especially with those max jets i mean theyre getting bailout right but that bell out of 25000000000 though there are some strict conditions on that one namely that the money can only be used to continue paying their nearly 161000 employees all the way to september they cant have any job cuts or layoffs now when the bill was signed even president he recognized boeings failures but said it was important to keep them afloat listen here we have a great plan for the airline its going to keep the early kill you know its never been the good news is good its a very vital business for the country we cant let anything happen devoting. So much potential you talk about potential can anything have more potential than that. Major industry for the United States now middle boeing c. E. O. Says that as far as reopening and there are new Safety Measures in place the company is in uncharted territory intended and it could forever change the business and the industry because of this pandemic but that boeing is taking it day by day and hoping that is going to come out strong and competitive.

For every Party Responsibility for iraq no need to tell us how to play. Like red herring rather than our current rather. Are using our Constitutional Rights and we are falling under a dictatorship and thats not correct trump being trump he went ahead and tweeted out a rallying cry of a liberation from lockdowns and a number of those states that had already seen protests and that led to a slew of criticism that the president is fanning the flames of unrest in his own country not that they needed any help trump defended himself saying particular states have gone too far and then threw in some comments about the 2nd amendment for good measure because a gun debate was what this pandemic was really missing but i think some things are too tough and if you look at some of the states you just mentioned it its too tough not only relative to this but what theyve done in virginia with respect to the 2nd amendment is just a horrible thing they do a horrible thing the governor and all of that only further ruffled the feathers of a number of governors who are already pushing back against trump the president of the United States has the authority to do what the president has the authority to do which is very powerful he does not have total a 3rd his proclamation is that he would be king thats what a king is a king has told us some already that statement cannot state a tweet coming from our president to liberate virginia i would just simply say that as the governor of the commonwealth of virginia along with his staff is fighting a biological war.
