effective that you. don't like it escape obvious. and it's. now thousands of people have turned out for a kindly jewel in charlotte's field in the u.s. state of virginia they gathered to condemn violence and pain to offer a woman died opposing a white supremacist friday that on saturday the state troopers ruled over that but they died in a helicopter crash while monitoring the unrest with a wave of violence started with a protest over the removal of a statue of a confederate general authorities are taking down some of the monuments across the country citing security reasons many of them in the u.s. too controversial personalities from the civil right that many people are reluctant to condemn them. as the story.
8:08 am
here outside of st john's episcopal church in brooklyn there was a monument commemorating confederate general robert e. lee it was affixed to this maple tree and it was here for over one hundred years now in light of the violence in charlottesville related to a statue of robert e. lee it's been removed all across the country activists are demanding that symbols honoring a related to slavery or honoring the people who fought for it be taken down perhaps this is sensible after all slavery is a barbaric practice millions of people died coming to the united states millions more worked to death on plantations however getting rid of the symbols related to slavery might not be as easy as it sounds. this is new york city's madison avenue it's named after u.s. president james madison now james madison owned over one hundred slaves and in his
8:09 am
personal letters he said some pretty reprehensible things about black people do you feel like there's a little hypocrisy that we're changing things in the south but not changing things here absolutely. changing every way i think if he represents you know a troubled past or is there's a difference between honoring history and recognizing that we shouldn't repeat it should they stop madison avenue. and rename it. yeah you know i think it's fine so if one person is affected well there will be a bible so that you'd be a good idea to take it to these should be democratic but i think a lot of people in the south do want to take this not used on it's not just people in the north that are trying to take down. now we're here in thomas jefferson park thomas jefferson was the ideological founder of the american republic and he was also a slave owner not only did jefferson own hundreds of slaves he actually impregnated one of them there's a number of african-americans living today who can trace their genealogy back to thomas jefferson and one of his slaves sally hemings before him having slaves he
8:10 am
was a. what changes slavery shouldn't be this even slaves right now in this they have heard of them but. that's not the way to get out. get out trying to kill the show. the first president of the united states george washington started owning slaves when he was just eleven years old by the time of his death he had over three hundred even signed into law the infamous fugitive slave act which allowed slave owners to track down escapees all over the country i think anything that's owned by a slave owner should be changed yeah it should be because this is times two thousand and they have only they've had enough time to do it while washington didn't go to war to defend slavery and i think concepts is very important in these tough situations george washington's faces on the one dollar bill he's often referred to as the father of our country slavery didn't just exist in the south it
8:11 am
existed all across the united states getting rid of everything related to slavery opens up an interesting can of worms might not be as easy as some people seem to think kaleb oppen artsy new york humala a u.s. neo nazi website has been taken down by russia's communications draggin. later after it was registered with the dr rue de man the move comes less than a day after the site called the daily storm members registered it was earlier rejected by a us based web host after it published a controversial article on the charlottesville protests victim it also tried to join google hosting but was blocked there to the daily storm of social media accounts have also been taken down. the hunt is on the way back to this on both sides online there's a fervent twitter campaign to ninety charlottesville protesters while the u.s. justice department is scouring for people who visited a web site used to organize protests during don't want from general gration with
8:12 am
his so america. they gave a publishing blacklist of your opponents may very well violate personal privacy and could just ruin lives however both sides are willing. over the people interested in protesting during trump's inauguration the u.s. justice department wants to go demanding that dream host a web service provider release all the information of the users who visited a website launched by the organizers of the demonstration and that's roughly one point three million users now the web host is trying to fight back in essence the search warrant only aims to identify the political dissidents of the current administration but attempts to identify and understand what content each of these dissidents viewed on the website. most recently targeted in charlottesville last weekend twitter users embark on a mission to identify and shamed those who attended the infamous united the right
8:13 am
rally the twitter account called yes your racist has even been posting id's of the marchers their communities need and need to know who these people are and what they're trying to do to our nation while there is no defending the violence of neo nazis in charlottesville the amateur investigators search for racist seems to have missed by kyle quinn a professor from arkansas was falsely identified as a right wing to charlottesville demonstrator the man runs a lab doing medical research and has nothing to do with white supremacists however he received scores of hate messages after his address was posted online you have celebrities and hundreds of people doing no research online not checking facts i've dedicated my life to helping old people trying to improve help. cameron train the next generation of scientists and this is potentially throwing a wrench in that the founder of the yes you're racist twitter page says that despite the chances of innocents being caught and he snapped he's willing to take the risk but the search for personal data of those who disagree with you smells
8:14 am
like a witch hunt so i can see where it could be problem. a blanket intimidation against everybody protesting if the squad on them you know right wing groups started publicizing the names of left wing people who are just a left wing people publicizing the names of raping people in this case. so it could be a backfire on whoever tries to do it because it would start becoming the thing to do and that that's the double edged sword of the social media that you know you can use it to organize but you can also use it and there are those who are intimidated so mary kom reporting that still ahead feed this out the pledge to raise his defense spending to me to us back tonight that is causing a bit of a pre-election rift in germany at the moment we'll have the details after the break .
8:15 am
live. all the feeling of. every the world should experience. and you'll get it on the old role. the old according to josh. come along for the rock. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the sixty's the law and also the only show i go out of my way to punch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing this. we are apparently better than. the sea people you've never heard of love redacted tonight . president of the world bank very. seriously he sent us an e-mail.
8:16 am
but again south korea says it may send a special envoy to pyongyang if the no one stops its missile and nuclear tests meanwhile the u.s. is taking a much harder line on the crisis as president trump has made clear the era of strategic patience is over with regard to north korea all options are on the table in the united states will continue to bring the full range of american power economic and diplomatic until north korea abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile programs those comments to come despite the fact that north north korea said it would hold off on strikes and donald trump cool appealing and this decision very
8:17 am
wise. looks now at how american policy seems to go against what the international community is pushing for when it comes to foreign policy it seems that trump is trying to twist the knife into some of the most volatile international issues. there's fire and fury for north korea while the international community is calling for deescalation in the region trying to spouting some of the most aggressive rhetoric that's been heard in decades. and this man will not get away with what he's doing believe they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never see. the escalation in brest break suddenly doesn't solve the problem the solution to this crisis must be political the potential consequences of military action hard. to even contemplate. the two thousand and fifteen iranian nuclear deal and a group that took two years to reach and one that was hailed as
8:18 am
a landmark diplomatic treatment this is a historic day. in response to washington's threats of more sanctions to promise so that they can pull out of that deal all together but america's u.n. ambassador doesn't appear all that concerned iran cannot be allowed to use the nuclear deal to hold the world hostage the nuclear deal must not become too big to fail. and then there is venezuela a country divided after months of violent protests and the run up to a key election. help bring an end to that trumps and just meeting fire with fire apparently the white house wants to kill a divided society and political scene with more violence we have troops all over
8:19 am
the world the places that are very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary whatever happened in terms promises of making the world a less nasty place to live i would love to be able to get along with everybody right now the world is a mess but i think by the time we finish i think it's going to be a lot better place to live for now it seems the president has zero intentions of making friends with everyone. our team washington d.c. . elsewhere germany's foreign minister has to try the amount of money the country spends on night and the city takes a closer look. germany must remain a peacemaker a not become a machine toggle lections ought to oppose the militarization of foreign policy by donald trump and not submit to it is to my horror the c.d.u. and f.t.p.
8:20 am
plan to do foreign minister saying that gabriel made it very clear that germany must not dance to trump's tune when it comes to the country's defense spending and what he said actually is quite the opposite of what the chancellor angela merkel has been saying she's been in support of raising the country's military spending towards nato to two percent of the country's g.d.p. by the year twenty twenty four take a listen to exactly how she put it in the past that germany is far from the target of spending two percent of the national budget on the fans but it's very important that this year we increase that to one point two percent and wish to also place importance on defense in the future. in fact gabriel's party is one of the main rivals to merkel's christian democrats party in next month's election and want defense spending is one of the most pressing issues here in germany so far merkel has been avoiding this in the run up
8:21 am
to the vote and it's not just defense spending a looks like merkel has been avoiding other thorny issues as well as she chose to speak to tech and beauty bloggers at the height of her campaign take a look at this package off out earlier anglo merkel should be feeling energized and fresh after her three week break in the italian alps but judging from her latest election campaigning looks like she's still in vacation mode the chancellor spent time talking politics with several young you tube celebrities here in germany one of them is a video blogger that specializes in german izing american pop hits another is a lifestyle blog where the shares her experiences and ventures with her viewers oh and there's also a fashion and beauty blogger. ok. this is. us and this is me in the quite nice outfit them from texas my skin and how these beauty and tech bloggers were chosen to speak to merkel at the height of
8:22 am
her campaign we don't know but hot political topics were brought up and the chancellor was cool calm and collected in her answers for how are there any plans for electric cars social. ok that's possible we need to create infrastructure which people to use electric vehicles many people are currently free they will be able to get to work with her and be able to get back home ok and that's what is your favorite smiley smile with a small heart on it i'm just going to go what have people was surprised that i a beauty blogger was chosen to conduct an interview with you many have said that my subscribers are not smart enough to ask the right questions they have political me think of them as it seems silly to me that some consider people from the beauty industry i'm able to make the right decision in the election this is absurd everyone is able to with my guns tellus honestly when you read donald trump's tweet with phrases like locked and loaded what do you think about it what comes into your
8:23 am
head up at the start if we should generally be careful with language of language is open a step towards escalation of violence i stand by all means against this. instead of meeting with the legitimate media with people who are trained to detect when the politicians are playing games chess them or go as a group of amateurs with whom she can play and that's what's happening here it reminds me of. a prize fighter who is afraid to meet a real challenger it is the softest question and answer approach that she could face it is the i deal for a politician who wants to be a. smooth sailing for angela merkel there but it certainly won't be so easy when she faces off her main rival martin schulte in september he them for everybody it should be clear what it means when a central government when the headquarters of a governing party systematically decide to reject the debate on the country's future when a party comes and says we do not have anything to do with this and we do not debate
8:24 am
this during the election campaign and it is the arrogance of power nothing else ladies and gentlemen you know. german broadcasters want to leave this side of the bate so there's more room. spontaneity along the two politicians to challenge each other more america's team reportedly threatened to council so the broadcasters gave up there were forty five minutes provided for each block of the t.v. programme the chancellor's representatives did not agree with such dramatic changes and refused to participate under these conditions with campaigning in germany stepping up here before the election anglo-american seems to be making sure she's in the driving seat and the super r t. thanks me this softly don't forget you can keep cross all of these stories plus plenty of others to you on our social media pages and you tube channel that i'll be back in just a behalf and we. welcome

right now. and the two thousand a crisis fades in memory americans are quickly taking on more crippling debt this week u.s. household debt reached a new record of twelve point eight trillion dollars for this year second quarter it's being driven by rising mortgage debt auto loans and credit card debt which has reached its highest level since two thousand and nine and part of the increase for . americans confidence in the economy and willingness to buy homes and borrow money which does fuel spending but there's a dangerous sign some households are being overstretched especially when it comes to swiping plastic total credit card debt climbed twenty billion dollars in the

second quarter to seven hundred eighty four billion the highest level since the fourth quarter of two thousand and nine an increasing number of americans have delinquent credit card balances thirty day delinquencies are up to six point two percent from about five point one percent a year ago and ninety day delinquencies are also up an early sign some borrowers are taking on too much still the numbers are nowhere near the heart of the financial crisis but economists will be closely monitoring this trend to measure consumer distress. now for a currency check first russia is rising the government is taking steps to reduce the value of transactions using the dollar according to russia's central bank sixty percent of russia's external debt is in u.s. dollars while it's still the majority it's the lowest level in three years the country is also reducing its investment in u.s. treasuries dropping five point eight billion in june russia's move to become less dependent on the dollar coincides with worsening relations between.
