There has been little change in the global situations in Stan.

What's the White House response to that? And is it ethical to start moving forward with booster shots at a time when so many countries are barely starting with the first shot? Well, our view is that this is a False choice and the United States has donated and shared about 140 million doses with over 90 countries more than all other countries combined. We're donating half a billion doses 200 countries in need. Last week, we announced a plan to invest $2.7 billion in manufacturing critical vaccine inputs and expanded fill finish lines at factories from Senegal to South Africa to India.

"They expected to show that the. Us is closing in on one million illegal immigrant apprehensions in twenty twenty one. So this data is expected next week but the washington examiner reported yesterday. The number of illegal alien apprehensions in the united states. Mexico climbed in june bringing these close to one million illegal immigrant encounters nearly one hundred ninety thousand illegal immigrants in june. That's a four hundred and fifty percent explosion over last june so if these numbers hold and they are expected to that means the sea. bp we'll have encountered nearly one million illegal immigrants in just six months and because of the biden administration has shown no interest in changing immigration policies. We could be on track to see even more than that. Does the biden administration care at all about what is going on here voter block. Ob fast it's made our life in fighting trafficking in same you just quoted a number four hundred percent from just think of all the so that means that the taxation on the healthcare system is going to be up four hundred percents right health and human services. This is insane. No they don't care by design. This is what he wants. A harris was supposed to investigate the root causes. Then figure out what to do. We really haven't seen any progress there. Like i said before he goes to show that they talk themselves into a corner. So i think is less about the policy per se and more about the fact that will you try to incentivize a bunch of people to make that trip that otherwise would not have and you were not prepared for it. I think it was something that was sexy to say on the campaign trail maybe to get votes but then a lot of people were in bowling. Say okay well. This person is in an office anymore. I can make the trip. They're going to allow me to do whatever it is and they. The system obviously cannot house they can. This is why they're flying people all over the all over the country and throughout texas because they simply don't have enough of let's say facilities in order to house them because of the fact that so many people have been emboldened to make the trip in the first place. That's the root cause incentivized to do it and that's the problem until they address that instead of talking around it until they address that in this oh forever. It doesn't even matter what because the other presidents picked up the narrative and ran with it and and and look the word on the street is go. They're not gonna stop you. I mean i just had a conversation with people in poland four days ago and they go if you wanna go to the us. Just go through mexico. It's common. They coming from over one hundred countries around the world right now again. This put it in perspective. A million people illegally crossing the border illegally. They're not leaving they're so here. We're not deporting people. Here that is the equivalent of the total population of the state of montana. You're talking in six months. We may reach two and a half three million by december win. We're not going to say enough is enough. I'm this is me saying. Abbott stood up. Buddy you gotta do something. Shut the border down. We're in republic. Texas is a republic maybe to go read our constitution just for a second and go shut the border down in challenged biden. Right in harris investigate. What women can investigate when in front out of our home can't investigate a thing. Come on man. She couldn't even find the border. She she was forty miles short. I mean come on well. All we're talking about incentivizing people. This is a really sad story so newark city sex workers. This is just running rampant in new york city because they are basically fostering and open-air prostitution market because the law enforcement there has become so lax about it. In fact this was bizarre to me. There is enough business going on in the middle of the night that the ways app the shows you know. Gps where there are traffic backups. And things like that. It's detecting traffic jams in east new york brooklyn because so many cars are stopped to talk to these sex workers because law enforcement is doing virtually nothing about it so it's incentivizing these and these traffickers to continue to have these women working because they aren't being arrested. The warrants are all being forgiven really disturbing In two thousand eighteen brooklyn saw combined thirty six arrests which were related in some way to prostitution figure dipped in two thousand eighteen to twenty six and now there were only two such arrests that year In june of this year hillary at the stroke of midnight thousand nineteen pre covert at the stroke of midnight. Go look what the blasios did go. Look what cuomo dick they released. Twelve hundred convicted and arrested pedophile onto the streets of new york at the stroke of midnight. If you were in jail in prison for abusing a child they released you into the street. Hear me today. Kamla harris ran on this. She wants to and will legalize prostitution in off fifty states. Federally this. you will see this coming okay. And it's always gonna come from either new york or crazy man on the west coast. Okay newsom either one of these two here we go again. It's it's in front of us. And now i ask. All the new yorkers we have some sense of value right. You go to vote for these guys again because this is what you get. No we need this coming. We need this was coming in january. One thousand twenty really sad. We'll only have just a brief moment. But i do wanna talk to you about twenty five thousand troops for deployed to crack down on the deadly riots in south africa so those troops have finally been deployed to help handle the violent rioting. You've got family friends living there. Can you give any information from there i did. I did service there. I know the military is a joke at the moment. You deploying troops who don't have training and by the way at the moment. Would teaching police officers in south african police departments what language. That's right mandarin. Chinese china has coming and ransacked that place. You're looking at a president. Former president zuma who was indicted. Forty times misty's court appeal almost a trillion dollars from the government himself. Exported money at the gupta family have corruption out the wazoo and the african national communist party. They call them congress now. He's out in sydell pause at the president's in these two guys are at war in the same party. Zuma rose again because half the party follows. Amy said i'm taking the presidency back. So ramaphosa said great buddy. It's time to put you in jail. Twenty days ago. He puts him in jail. So now you've got black on black crime like you cannot believe you're talking about forty million people in the streets going to war at the moment and a nonexistent police. Departments are yes. My family are there and they're self securing. I told you before the show. They're doing some things they making. Sure that but it's anarchy. And i got a point straight back to china because the people who are fighting in the streets zuma the corrupt individual who is bed with china to be back in power. So yeah it's a nightmare. It's it's watch alleged schaefer wednesday. We're doing a special on this video. You'll never see anywhere else real information and we'll see what happens. When a country south africa swings the pendulum all the way and embraces communism in the communist chinese port. Yes definitely check that out and we have to go to break but we're going to end today on a high note that don't go anywhere.

"It's friday so we are going to finish the week with a bang hottest stories of the week with us happy friday. Welcome to the news and why it matters. I'm hillary kennedy. I have been filling in this week last day. But it's going to be such a good one because we've got two fireballs here at the table. Starting with mr yakubu wins hosted the jacobi and shell and president and founder of shared together. Glad to have you back multiple times this week. I know so lucky. And mr eric july of lease tv contributor and the host for cannon sake all right. I love when you guys are here because you never hold anything back. And we've got some really really great stories and some things that are hugely important. First off we're gonna be talking about the w. h. o. Director admits to prematurely dismissing the lab leak theory and says that china needs to be more transparent. No kidding let's take a listen to a statement. We are asking actually china to be transparent open and cooperate especially on the information raw data that we asked for the early days of the pandemic one of the challenges is what you mentioned. Access to data especially the data the start of the pandemic. The was not was not shared. There was a premature a push to specially reduce one of the options. Likely lab jewelry. All right so then video. It actually is still currently on youtube. You can't find it as of this taping which is interesting but so he has now admitted that china had been less than forthcoming about requests for information related to the source of the pandemic. He's calling now for their cooperation. He's saying he's asking china to be transparent open cooperate especially on the information raw data that they ask for during the early days of the pandemic. He said yeah. We were a little too hasty ruling out the possibility that the corona virus had leaked from a chinese government laboratory and he also said i was a lab technician myself. I've worked in the lab and lab accidents happen. It is common. What's interesting in the very beginning. People experts were ridiculed. People were were called conspiracy theorists. If they mentioned that there was even a chance it could have come from the lab But now of course he's changed course. A lot of people accused in very beginning accused him the who for not taking a strong enough stance against china but some critics also claimed that china aided mr therese's campaign to become the w. h. o. Director in two twenty seventeen despite the problematic past that he has. Okay so why is it okay to question this now. Something just going back to why. It's still on youtube wise. I went anywhere because after one organization that they said that you had to listen to anything. Say that was anti pedicle. They can't they can't remove it because that's that's the authority figure. That's the one that they said it was to listen to. This is such an interesting topic to me because it shows so many different layers of why this whole moronic push for trying to stop the spread of myths and this information the reason why. That's such a lousy excuse to try to do. This is because what happens. Is you're basically stifling. The free form a rather fleet free flowing of the information so we can have those conversations. Just try to reach a logical conclusion. Speaking of to back in the gap in the glory days when it was youtube them to be anymore. But it was. It was actually. U2 that was the rabbit hole that we all went down a conspiracy theories you can talk about nine eleven am case you cage all that stuff and come up with your credit theories aliens all day and it was awesome. Because you weren't seeing that on like mainstream only place. Did you really get access to it. That had a lot of Like a high user base so they like anything else before leeann now like nine eleven or anything before they had said this misinformation. You can't even talk about it. We won't even allow you to have a conversation about it. We're gonna take take you down if you're in public speaking about this. The politicians the public experts being the ones that don't work for the government. That's all that is. They were saying that they were conspiracy theories that were crazy. They were lunacy now. I don't know what happened here. I guess this is the conversation that people wanna sad because you go back to how the. Who elaborate. that was a very unique situation now usually do that. It comes criticizing world leaders and stuff like that. They don't generally do that at all. So this is a unique thing. So there's one or two things in my honest opinion. what happened either. They knew that there was a possibility and they just blatantly lied about that. But maybe the hope however was that china would play ball and now he say again which is something that you usually don't hear them say he's lying to jim was like look man. We're giving us access to the raw data. So maybe it's a situation will we would have covered for. What if we thought that they were playing a ball. They've made it abundantly clear after a year and a half. they're not playing ball so now we're throwing him under the bus. So it's gonna be interesting to see what happens out of that. But most importantly america you have to pay attention a why they don't want you to have these sorts of conversations with a very unique situation in which they didn't want to have any sort of conversation but why it's no matter if i disagree with it. It's important for us to at least be allowed to have that dialogue because you end up with stuff like that and a lot of people have indicated in terms of that theory. No look how funny. How ironic right.

"Are approved by regulatory bodies around the world countries. They're scrambling to inoculate their citizens, however. Certain countries to push ahead some health officials air raising alarms about the threat of vaccine nationalism, the tendency of governments to hoard vaccines for their own populations. Simon marks reports There are growing concerns that the poorest countries in the world are losing out in the fight for coronavirus inoculations. Dr. Jerome Kim is director general of the International Vaccine Institute. He says he's worried that many countries are practicing what he calls vaccine nationalism. And we have this Kovacs mechanism that will provide 20% of vaccines. Two countries to 189 countries around the world, regardless of their wealth, or or or need. Everyone needs the vaccine. We're gonna have to vaccinate, you know, eight billion people. The problem right now is that several countries have over ordered vaccine. For instance, Canada has ordered 4 to 5 times more than it actually needs. The United States has ordered more than it needs the European Union has. I mean, the countries have done that, in order to ensure that their populations get sufficient vaccine. We need to start to understand the supply chain understand when those vaccines are going to become available and then allocate those vaccines the parts of the world that really do need a vaccine solution, he says. It won't be until 2023 that there's enough vaccine available for the entire global population. Until then, he warns that any inequities in global distribution will only exacerbate the possibility of additional cove in 19 strains spreading even in communities that hope to achieve mass vaccination.

"To about Santa Monica Boulevard in Fontana, The 10 westbound this one. A Cherry Avenue gotta crash investigation That's blocking the off ramp there, So just be careful or some people wandering around in that area. It's 3 20. NPR news. This is all things considered. I'm Elsa Chang and I'm Audie Cornish. In theory, the director general of the World Health Organization, Ted Rose Garden on Gabriel ASIS was talking to the whole world at his press conference last week. I mean, he started with a nod to every time zone. Good morning. Good afternoon and good evening. But once he started speaking about global vaccine distribution, it was clear he had a specific audience in mind. Rich countries have bought up the majority off the supply off multiple vaccines. 42 countries have begun rolling out safe and effective vaccines, he said. None of them were low income countries. The W. H O does have a plan. It's called Kovacs designed to get vaccines to low income countries. Ah sort of pulled fund that makes deals with drug companies and distributes the vaccine fairly across borders. But one on one deals between drug companies and individual countries have undermined that effort. At least that's what gay braces says no countries exceptional and should cut the Q and vaccinate all their population, while some remain with no supply off the vaccine, but that's exactly what's happening. Canada, for example, has bought enough doses to vaccinate its entire population five times over, according to Duke University researchers. Now some of those vaccines may not ultimately make it out of trials. But the disparity is real. Other countries are still waiting for their first doses. Countries like South Africa is a bit like, you know, boarding an aircraft. It seems that you have to stand by and watch everybody in business class Killeen That's unbendable, a deputy director general in South Africa's Department of Health. South Africa has announced deals for vaccines. 20 million doses the government says will arrive mainly in the first half of this year. But in the meantime, it's facing the continent's worst outbreak. 500 deaths a day in a country of roughly 60 million. Lay told me. He realized from his early conversations with drug companies that it was going to be hard for South Africa to compete with richer countries. We were having a discussion about procuring a vaccine. Hadn't gone through the clinical trials. Yet There is no certainty about its success. And if you're already talking about placing orders and payment off money linked to that For me that was quite surprising and unusual, and I realized then that many off the more developed and wealthy nations. I clearly gone down this path. And so we're having this conversation as a result off a Q already being developed many developed nations being at the front of the queue and gun access vaccines through this You know, a group of South African scientist wrote an op ed earlier this month, saying that it beggars believe that South Africa Does not have a better plan for vaccines. They're saying that the concern you raised about risks. It's not the case because you would be committed to buying vaccines on Lee when they're available, and when they work. Yeah, I think it's important to highlight that in terms of our public funds were required to invest in the in a product. Once we understand that the product works if we Had to put down a payment without understanding whether the vaccine works how effective the vaccine is, We would then be in breach of our what we call the Public Finance Management Act. So South Africa is a part of Kovacs. Which is this global effort led in part by the World Health Organization to get vaccines to kind of middle and low income countries. How much will that actually help Supplement Help provide for you? Well, Kovacs, um, has been an interesting arrangement. It's intention was to create a global solidarity on duh. Incredible access to vaccines. I think many countries, you know, spoke about solidarity but didn't necessarily Act. And so the Kovacs facility has yet to release vaccines to its beneficiary countries, largely because the stock has all been taken up by the developed nations. The best information we have at this stage is that there may be some stock off a vaccine from Fizer. But the amount of me being offered is a drop in the ocean being offered 0.25% off our populations to have access to vaccines for health care workers We have about six or seven times that number in terms off. Frontline health care weapons. I understand South Africa's also working with four drugmakers supporting their trials. Does that guarantee you doses? If those trials are successful? Well, the drug trials done independently of us. So none of the country company sorry, prepared to make that concession. Basically, that means that they've used that Africans to get data in order for them to reduce the product and thereafter for gotten about South Africans in terms of providing them with access to a drug. I understand. There's also AH drug manufacturer that works with Johnson and Johnson in South Africa. Is that true? Is that Aspen that's right has been far, McKay's has got a license to Do the filling and packaging off Johnson Johnson product So there will be South Africans actually making a vaccine. Yeah, there would be ah, doing the filling into vowels and Ceiling and labeling and packaging. And then the product has to be shipped off back to Europe for testing and then distributed around the world. And so we have no right to access that product. As we understand. We would have to negotiate for our Place in the queue in order to access to product. So there could be vaccines tested on South Africans. South Africans would make the vaccine and South Africans would not get the benefit of any of that. Sadly, yes, that's basically What the situation is currently London play, deputy Director general of South Africa's Department of Health and we checked in with a Kovacs partner organization who said Kovacs anticipates it will be able to provide South Africa and other participating countries with enough vaccine. 3% of their populations in the first half of this year.
