Yeah and its ongoing at this point in fact the federal judge in this detention hearing the bail hearing is set to make a decision any moment but that said as you mentioned Glenn Maxwell pled not guilty to the charges of sex trafficking of minors the federal charges against her during this hearing in which she appeared via a live video link a trial date of july 12th 2021 was said basically the way this when she pled not guilty to the charges they then went into the scheduling portion of this and then the hearing moved to discussion of bail now maxwells lawyer mark owen said she does not pose a flight risk contrary to strain u. S. Comments from federal prosecutors that maxwell has the financial means and the ability to not only be a flight risk but to also live off the grid and beyond the reach of extradition due to her international ties u. S. Attorney allison most said maxwell is a quote extreme flight risk with both british and french citizenship and as much as 20000000. 00 in the bank though maxwell has reported 0 income which was an issue brought up by the judge and certainly part of the questioning during this hearing that said maxwell offered incredibly enough to released on bail get this remain in a Luxury Manhattan Hotel on her own dime during the pretty tough pretrial detention now during this hearing we heard from one alleged victim who said that she met maxwell when she was 16 and that maxwell is a sexual predator and should absolutely it remain behind bars the judge also read the statement of 2 other alleged victims of maxwell and Jeffrey Epsteins f. B. I. Agents as we know arrested maxwell july 2nd at a mansion on a 156 acre property in New Hampshire where she was reportedly hiding out something also disputed by her attorney who argued that if she did not refuse to open that she did not refuse to open the door to her own when f. B. I. Agents. Breach the property front gate this was also an issue of dispute during the hearing that is important because if she did refuse to open the door or was hiding or trying to run it indicates an intention to evade arrest again her Attorney Says that was not the case but prosecutors say shes been doing this for many years that shes moved multiple times to avoid detection in the last year alone a reason her lawyer blamed on protecting her privacy and personal safety basically her attorney mark owen tried to paint a picture of maxwell as being the victim hounded by the government and the media something prosecutors absolutely argued against saying that is just an insult thats not the case and quite simply maxwell has got away with her crimes for too long and now is the time for her to pay and for the victims to finally get some justice on that note manilla there are reportedly more victims of accusers coming forward with information that may strengthen the prosecutions case against maxwell she is charged with sex trafficking of minors accused of recruiting and grooming several young women some as young as even 14 years and years of age told alternately work for and be sexually abused by abstaining shes also been accused of being involved with the sexual abuse of the minors directly and shes facing possibly as much as 35 years and prison if convicted on the charges in the back to you all right john how he was. Over to russia where the country has started construction on get this the Worlds LargestNuclear Icebreaker this 1st of its kind shipping vessel is currently being built and russias far east and is anticipated to help the country gain an essential but hold in the arctic region r. T. S. Shop of all of us has more. The task of the leader class Nuclear Icebreakers is to provide year round as called of transport vessels in harsh conditions of the north sea route russia intends to build at least 3 Nuclear Icebreakers of this class the flagship that has just been launched will be named russia its expected to cost 1800000000. 00 and will become operational in 2027 the ice breaker will we would a commercial speed of about 1314. 00 knots and cope with an average ice thickness about 67 feet thanks to the u. I. Breakers of this class merchant ships can use not only the classic north sea routes but navigate in higher latitude its worth mentioning that the north sea route lines along the coast of russia its length is fine sounds and 300 miles its a new Global Transport corridor and its the shortest path from europe to asia but its bound around 9 months a year in some places ices up to 15 feet meanwhile the new ice break is dimensions seem to be truly incredible the length of the salt will be more than 670 feet its height equal the 13 Story Building it will boast a 120. 00 megawatt power plant in the icebreaker is to build a channel for condor ships with a set and with its own which cannot be less than 255 feet if making this needs according to engineers would be minimal the lead breakers will work with the vessels that will transport oil and liquefied natural gas eastward now russian oil injuries mainly delivered to the ports of western europe and then transported to other places by other carriers with the launch of the eastern direction it will be possible to deliver cargo by russian domestic vessels directly to consumers located in the asian region plus rosner after russias enormous state oil company which has high hopes for drilling oil in the arctic also will benefit from the new leader icebreakers by the way according to the vessels develop is there will be no weapons installed it said the country has enough warships. So its not necessary to lead to ice break is why shes the only country in the world that operates a large fleet of Nuclear Icebreakers such vessels are significantly bigger and more powerful than that conventional power to counter ponce the Nuclear Engines allow the vessels to operate a tunnel mostly for long periods with the need for frequent refueling. And this Global Pandemic is impacting local economies that we know and can see in our own cities and towns but coronavirus is impacting the amount of money we dont see and that is through remittances and remittances are monies earned by migrants and then sent back to their home countries that is projected now to fall by one 5th this year because of the pandemic according to pew research so joining us to explain what this all means boom bust cohost investigative journalist. So ben what do these numbers look like globally and what did they look like as it pertains to the u. S. Yes certainly its a very big deal when you take a look at kind of the Global Landscape and how global economies are being affected by coke that so for instance just to give you kind of the larger picture here in terms of world remittances about 714000000000. 00 in 2019 was earned by workers in one country and sent back to their home country this year that number is already down by about 20 percent about 572000000000. 00 so 20 percent is a massive drop in the amount of money going back to these countries to put that into perspective go back to the socalled Great Recession in 20082009 up until right now we have seen the largest drop in recent times but that was a much smaller drop about 9 percent so when you drop about 9 percent in remittances as a result of the global Great Recession and then a because of code that you drop 20 percent more than twice that. Its a pretty significant drop yeah that is a huge number and we know we have a lot of Migrant Workers especially out west where you and i grew up in california tex and for that thats going to be hit and that the economy is there greatly but why does this all matter ben. Well it certainly matters to the countries that get these are mintons is because remember the when workers come to the United States and by the way the United States far outpace every other country in the world in terms of remittances meaning workers come into the United States who work here and then send money back to their home country but that money doesnt go to governments in those countries it goes back to families in those countries thats why workers come here thats why in california and texas new mexico and colorado you have workers who go in they work seasonal jobs certainly Migrant Workers who work in fields they come here for a season they work they send money back home to their families and in some cases go back and live there for a time and then come back up seasonally to work and it happens quite often if the United States has about 152000000000 dollars that flows back to other countries mostly in latin america and south america and so its very important when you consider the fact the families of those workers are the ones who depend on them for their livelihood thats why those workers come here in the 1st place so the effect isnt so much on the National Governments in those countries but on the populations who are dependent on those workers who come here to make money for them and that what countries will be hit the hardest with less money coming into those families that you spoke of in other words what countries receive the most remittances yes so theres a whole series of countries in somewhere in the world who are believe it or not saudi arabia is the 2nd largest country in terms of remittances in the world which was actually kind of surprising to me when i started looking at this United States is kind of an obvious one but for saudi arabia to be now 2 is kind of interesting but the usa United Kingdom canada they all have people who come from other countries but the country that stood out the most to me thats fairly interesting is haiti of all places that haitian Migrant Workers who come here and work and sin remittances back or even people who are permanently here but since remittances back to. Country get this in terms of the haitis g. D. P. Remittances make up 33 percent of the Gross Domestic Product for the entire nation of haiti. That heavily on remittances so when you have a significant drop in remittances you have a significant cut by one 3rd of what the country is facing in terms of its g. D. P. That could be devastating and that country has already been hit multiple times with hard times before the pandemic and then lastly how is pew research correlating the dollar amounts to the actual lockdowns themselves well essentially it comes down to the number of days that a country spins in lockdown so essentially what theyre looking at are the number of days in the United States its been 67 days where overall theres been a lockdown in saudi arabia i mentioned them a minute ago its been a little longer than that its been 70 some days and so what theyre looking at are the number of days when the country is essentially in lockdown therefore people are not able to go and work in a normal fashion and thats what theyre computing at now obviously that is not going to take into account people who are working for cash on the side making money on the side and sending that back but a lot of this is also being calculated through Services LikeWestern Union that people use to sit in those remittances back and so theyre able to take calculated also based upon how much that business has dropped during this time as well and thats true these there are a lot of workers who are actually on the books despite what a lot of people argue and say its all under the table that. Good update there with that side of the economy thank you so much. Now to the latest coded 1000 numbers worldwide cases to help topping more than 13000000 with 573000 reported deaths the top 3 countries with the most cases the u. S.

I. Get real quick breaking news for you update on the girl lane maxwell case going maxwell has been denied bail so she will continue to stay behind bars as she awaits her trial pending trial for july 12th 2021 and moving on here daniel levy lewiss execution Tuesday Morning at a federal prison in indiana marked the restart of federal executions in the u. S. After a 17 year moratorium despite numerous calls from his victims families for a stay so could this be a hot topic at the ballot box this november to get us up to speed on the politics involved moving forward lets check in with Scottie Nell Hughes the host of news views he was right here on our team america so scottie in this unsigned opinion early this morning the dissenting justices on the Supreme Court but moaned that this was quote accelerated Decision Making what was their justification for this claim and this crime i mean it happened in 1996 and went through the court system why would they say that. When that thing you know as you stated a crime originally happened in 1906 but like with so many cases it does take time and this case has been tried over and over again with several months in between each one of those trials why the Supreme Court justice the dissenters said that it sped up and that it was not given justified time it was because towards the end because on monday a lower court had actually ordered a temporary blockage based off of the 8th amendment which said you cannot have cruel punishment it prohibits that amongst United States citizens but late last night. The Supreme Court the majority ruled it said it had not established the likely to have to do succeed that this is going to go anywhere else except for the place where it did and its why they allowed the rejected occasion the reinstatement of Capital Punishment. On a federal level something that weve not discussed amongst politics or even here in the United States really since john kerry was running for office and scottie that final decision from scotus came down in the wee hours with lewiss execution happening about 2 hours after that from what i understand he was strapped to that gurney for about 4 hours awaiting this decision that is that sounds cruel to me however the execution was originally halted because of concerns regarding the coronavirus and how federal executions were actually carried out where do we stand now concerning federal executions in the future. And thats a signal youre right not only leading up to it waiting for this go to susan was he struck down that table but also the lethal injection was administered at 4 am he was not declared dead until 8 am thats 4 hours and whatever was going on with his body during that time that being said the families of the victims actually were very upset because because of coronavirus they were not allowed to be in the room to witness as well as attorneys for both sides it was obviously not open witnesses because of the krona virus case now the family of the victims actually for a long time and said they did not believ
