On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Sputnik News analysts and producers Walter Smolarek and Nicole Roussell.Friday is Loud & Clear’s weekly hour-long segment The Week in Review, about the week in politics, policy, and international affairs. Today they focus on the rapid spread of the Coronavirus pandemic, Washington’s efforts to bail out Wall Street, the state of the presidential election, and more. The United States yesterday overtook both China and Italy in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases. But Italy far exceeds the rest of the world per capita in the number of deaths from the coronavirus to the point where bodies can’t be buried quickly enough and health care providers are becoming infected and are dying at an alarming rate. Guido Salza, a leading member of the Italian political organization Fronte Popolare, joins the show. The United States greatly stepped up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro yesterday when the Justice Department charged him in federal court in New York City with narco-terrorism and conspiracy to commit international cocaine trafficking, with prosecutors maintaining that he led a violent drug cartel even as he rose to the leadership of his country. At the same time, the State Department offered a $15 million reward for information leading to Maduro’s capture.The Venezuelan denounced the move as “miserable, vulgar and baseless accusations.” Brian and John speak with Leo Flores, a member of the peace group Code Pink, where he is the Latin America campaign coordinator. World Water Day was commemorated earlier this week as a way to focus attention on the importance of fresh water and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. The day took on renewed significance amid calls for a moratorium on utility shut offs as the country and the world is gripped by the Coronavirus pandemic. Mary Grant, the director of the Public Water for All Campaign at Food & Water Watch and a policy analyst on US water utility privatization, joins the show. It’s Friday! So it’s time for the week’s worst and most misleading headlines. Brian and John speak with Steve Patt, an independent journalist whose critiques of the mainstream media have been a feature of his site Left I on the News and on twitter @leftiblog, and Sputnik producer Nicole Roussell.

Do you know what it’s like to live on minimum wage? Can you imagine earning just $2.19 per hour as a waitress yet still be responsible for clothing, feeding and caring for a family?

Even before the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, where the accused shooter voiced anti-immigrant sentiments, there were concerns about the treatment of migrants at the border. Our hearts broke when we heard stories of children separated from their families, and when we saw images of children held in cages and sleeping on concrete, shielded by nothing other than a flimsy aluminum blanket. You’ve seen the pictures and heard the stories. Now, we’d like you to hear directly from a deaconess with the Office of Deaconess and Home Missioner, Cindy Johnson.Deaconess Johnson is a consultant for the Office Deaconess and Home Missioner. She has lived in Brownsville, Texas her entire life and has made service to migrants a staple of her ministry. Deac. Johnson has worked at respite centers, volunteered at shelters for refugees and even traveled to Mexico to food and medical care to people imprisoned there. Her ministry is one of service, service to those in dire need. Deac. Johnson is the tip of the spear when it comes to serving our immigrant sisters and brothers. Many of you have served as well or know of others who serve. We now want to provide a platform to share the stories of those who have sown seeds of compassion and love.During this special United Methodist Women Faith Talks, Deac. Johnson will discuss the calling women of faith have in this moment. She will discuss how the training United Methodist Women provides enables our members to serve at such a time as this. She will discuss what is needed to address global migration and offer tips on what each of us can do to help; whether we live in a border community or not.You do not have to have loved ones who are immigrants to imagine the desperation of people at our borders. You simply must have the capacity to see the humanity of others.Visit https://www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/living-wages to find about more about United Methodist Women's Living Wage for All Campaign.---Faith Talks is hosted by Jennifer R Farmer, Spotlight PR.Visit www.UnitedMethodistWomen.org/faithtalks to find out more.

It’s July, it’s hot, and even with all the recent rain, we’re thirsty. But for an increasing number of Baltimore households, water -- we’re talking plain old water from the faucet -- is becoming unaffordable. On July 1st, water rates in Baltimore City rose almost 10%, the third big jump in as many years. In fact, since 2010, the typical Baltimore household’s water and sewer bill has more than doubled. And by 2022, the typical bill is expected to more than triple. Some say the steep increases are necessary, because the city MUST invest in expensive infrastructure projects to provide this essential public service. But an alarming number of families are at risk for losing their homes because they can no longer afford to pay their water bills.Joining Tom today in Studio A: Mary Grant. She’s the director of the “Public Water for All” Campaign for Food ---- Water Watch, a national organization that champions healthy food and clean water for all.Del. Mary Washington is also here. She has represented north-central Baltimore City in the House of Delegates since 2010. Last month, she defeated Sen. Joan Carter Conway in the Democratic primary for the District 43 Senate seat. She is unopposed in the general election in November.In the 2017 legislative session and again this year, Del. Washington proposed bills that would have put an end to people losing their homes in tax sales because of unpaid water bills.Also joining us to talk about a water affordability bill being drafted for the Baltimore City Council to consider this fall: Lester Davis, the Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of Policy and Communications for Baltimore City Council President Jack Young.

World Bank and IMF SAPS, Water Privatization, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships, Cochambabinos' Resistance, North-South Cooperaton and South-South SolidarityDiscussion with Marcela Olivera on water privatization and resistance in South America and the establishment of public-public partnerships for community owned and organized water services. We discuss the water privatization conditions tied to World Bank and IMF loans, the Cochabambinos' victory over the privatization of their water services by Bechtel, the Bechtel suit against Bolivia in the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes and the success of North-South cooperation in imposing public pressure on Bechtel to drop the suit. We also discuss South American constitutonal amendments recognizing a right to water, grassroots action to solidify such rights and South-South solidarity, as well as the challenges and successes of autonomous water sourcing by different communites in South America. Marcela Olivera was one of the leaders of Coodiadora de Defense de Agua y la Vida leading the Cochabambinos’ resistance to Bechtel and helped develop the Red Vida citizens’ network as part of her work with the Water for All Campaign for Food and Water Watch, which aims to establish community owned and operated water servies throughout South America.
