8:01 am
joining us from our run the globe welcome to moscow and to r.t. international. good to have your company our top story russia america's top diplomats have met washington's request for the first time since relations plunged to what's been described as historic post cold war our new york correspondent. more on what's. there forty five minute conversation. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson held a meeting on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly now the meeting was initiated by the american side the issues discussed specifically were syria and ukraine in syria there are accusations being leveled by the united states that u.s.
8:02 am
backed rebel forces were directly attacked by russia now russia says that these rebel forces were not attacked that rather it was only i still forces that were attacked but the area in question the issue is the city of darryl's or it's important to know that this is taking place as there have been breakthroughs in the negotiations in russia iran and turkey have actually reached a breakthrough a document has been released and deescalation zones are actually being a stablished in the country and the northwestern regions of syria in the it live province and elsewhere we're actually starting to see breakthroughs in deescalation zones in the country be a stablished as a result of the negotiations that are taking place in kazakstan between the three parties now it's also important to note that another issue that was discussed was the issue of ukraine and of and rex tillerson discussed implementing the minsk agreement for peace and deescalation of tensions in ukraine there's been ongoing
8:03 am
fighting in ukraine in the east in the donbass region and the u.s. secretary of state and the russian foreign minister did discuss the possibility of implementing the agreement and making sure there were no tension. middle east expert thinks the trump administration still wants to improve ties between russia and the u.s. the spike the pressure. with you develop an suv sirrah ritual of syria reaching this sensitive phase particularly in the eastern region the close of the border with iraq i think that the americans thought that it was very important to focus on the fact that there should be another call in the collusions whatsoever i think it also points to the which is an important issue the trumpet ministration despite the congressional pressures that oh you know despite the presence of the russian voices in the administration such as the key haley the deal was about sort of to your way to mr trump doesn't appear to have given up but it seems that mr on his
8:04 am
efforts to improve the toys between the u.s. and russia as well although how much will be successful is something which is open for debate as well as well as the sideline talks between russia and the u.s. focus at the u.n. general assembly this week is likely to be on the korean peninsula and washington's hinting that it's pretty much exhausted every diplomatic possibility. reports really sort of sounds like the military option is sort of becoming the frontrunner for them we've had the american ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley saying that she feels that the united nations security council has really already done all that they can when it comes to north korea and that she's really already prepared to hand off the crisis to the u.s. secretary of defense adding that in that situation north korea would be quote destroyed and that's something we have coming from a diplomat i said yesterday i'm perfectly happy kicking this over to general mattis
8:05 am
because he has plenty of military options if the united states has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way north korea will be destroyed and we all know that and none of us want that none of us want war so there we have halley's saying she's happy to hand it over to mattis and not long ago we had he himself describing briefly what that would sort of look like what a military option with north. area would look like and very best word saying that the response would be both effective and overwhelming any threat to the united states george territories including. or our allies will be met with a massive military response the response both objective and overwhelming we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country namely north korea but as i said we have many options to do show and in the same light many remember all of the comments that we've had from trump himself fire and fury and whatnot and amid those threats that we've had coming from the
8:06 am
president he's repeated a number of times that talking with north korea just isn't going to be effective not really diplomatic words that we have coming from the president himself and on sunday trump also referred to the north korean leader as rocket man and the tweet comments that are unlikely to go without a response and it's worth noting that while some in the trumpet ministration are still hopeful for a diplomatic solution calling for it it does seem that the focus has sort of shifted from that as sort of like an afterthought and going more towards the looming military option the co-founder of the national campaign to in the korean war thinks that north korea is ready for a diplomatic solution but that's not something washington has so far presented to pyongyang. it will not negotiate the nuclear weapons unless the us ends its hostile parle policies toward the d.p. r. k. so consequently you've got two sides in
8:07 am
a tug of war and that we're left with very little option other than considering fire and fury and in reality that shows not only a lack of creativity but arguably violates our commitments under international law as well the idea that in a tug of war you have to let go of one end of the road you have to have the courage to do that and then use creative aspects of conflict resolution to get the job done . there's been a third consecutive night of violence in the us city of st louis after an x. police officer was acquitted of murdering a black motorist last year sunday's demonstration started as a peaceful march but the send it into rioting with property damaged and police officers assaulted more than eighty arrests for me. i was i.
8:08 am
i. and what's not following a familiar pattern peaceful marches are turning into chaos by nightfall protesters smash windows on through trash cans and officers there are also reports of police being attacked with on no one chemicals on friday demonstrators broke a window up the murders home in the city's been swelling since a judge cleared former officer jason stokley of killing three of them are in twenty eleven.
8:09 am
social commentator on three brian logan things that people came from other areas just to cause trouble and turn the protests into a riot. they should've known absolutely especially in st louis because that's where you had the infamous. thing right there in a same area just a few years ago i think it might have been in twenty fourteen. so it definitely had been produced. i think what happened was it came from other places for to express purpose of making. so. most of the people that were there were not really from the area of course. they wanted to whatever but it's not really people feeling any kind of. person they really don't care. to be able to get themselves out there to be in front of media cameras and to get. twelve
8:10 am
civilians were killed by a u.s. led coalition strike over the weekend province. targeted infrastructure. both. coalition military tactics in those countries. the u.s. led air strike in question. remaining strongholds in syria. to the south of. the strike apparently according to these various sources killed at least twelve. of them women and children we've reached out to the u.s. led coalition. have no information regarding civilian casualties but they're investigating as they usually do on the sixteenth of september. did one
8:11 am
strike. craft it's happened hundreds and hundreds of times. it is a. tactic to surround themselves with. isis. make sure make a point to fight in buildings which. is their human shield and. shield. u.s. led coalition jets. if there are. but. that isn't the case three weeks ago in mosul told me that they expect to dig up as many as five thousand. out of the rubble destroyed. in the city of mosul. we heard from the director of.
8:12 am
the spike numerous incidents of being killed in military operations the u.s. led coalition doesn't seem to have changed its approach to our strikes. since the start of the operations in mosul time and again i think we lost count on the many times when the united states wanted to hit and i say this for a target and then suddenly there is a huge massacre taking place and this is really hurting and reflecting negatively on the united states' efforts to you know establish its own project sort of the old regime protected regime in the eastern part of syria. italy's regions have all given a result ending no to allowing genetically modified crops but the european courts pulled rank to let one former former there so g.m. corn we get into that story plus plenty ahead in about ninety seconds to.
8:13 am
8:14 am
fourteen minutes into the program welcome back joint military drills between russia . well underway scores of planes helicopters tanks come but ships are involved in playing out a scenario to eliminate trespassing military units the first stage of the drills practice country in direct threats to balance. out since.
8:15 am
8:16 am
northwest russia and it's all in with a name that perhaps sounds nightmarish fodder for in the telling of the guts china will be heading out from his office to solve in seventeen military drills. that taking place just a hundred kilometers away the joint exercises between russia and the way that we today the state and well haven't signed into invasion of europe so far as i can tell but a concert to some media expectations perhaps the drills very sitting huge media attention long before they even started west in the fishless have been a little more reserved in that but just a little bit they're about to do an exercise in russia. that's going to tail up to one hundred thousand russian troops moving into into that country the great concern is they're not going to leave and that's you know that's not paranoia that's active concern among among the countries the data from the russians may be that much fun suggests that the total if only thirteen thousand troops are going to participate
8:17 am
and that's from both sides and the majority of them are from bollywood by the way but in the eyes of washington and some european capitals the numbers could be ten or even twenty times higher something must go says it finds quote astonishing we were surprised by german defense minister or some off on down lyon statements including the number one hundred thousand plucked from thin air referring to russian soldiers participating in the twenty seven thousand exercises and the supposed a danger that they posed to europe tanks artillery fire fighter jets they'll be all of it late in the day. and perhaps putting the jewels in the spotlight even more vladimir putin is expected to attend the drills as well. in my of well there's a purge drills attracted negative media attention even before they got underway so michael it's even describe them as a secret plan to invade nato countries we travel to
8:18 am
a lot near the russian border to find out what the locals there are think about a so-called russian invasion. i think this is nothing will happen i know that. seriously of course everything will be will keep these russian drills are actually an answer to major drills in the baltics no. no no everything's fine here there's no negative information representatives are invited to russian so all the dangers of being exaggerated where journalists neil clark say's it's not russia and belarus that have acted aggressively. we've got a real double standard here russia and belarus allies they are carrying out these exercises they're very transparent there are international observers there and russia and belarus of both got very good reasons to be to be carrying out these military exercises the nato critics are being very hypocritical we're living in
8:19 am
a well again kind of propaganda framework at the moment where the countries who have done the attacking of other countries the countries that have posed a threat to world peace are pretending to be the countries under threat and but in actual fact it's russia which is acting here defensively with good cause because we've seen what nato has done in the destruction they've caused around the world. the european union's top courts has overruled italian law and a lot of farmer there too so a genetically modified crops no that is the spite every region in the country saying three against the controversial food source back in one thousand nine hundred eight the farmer in question was authorized by a european court to use specific seeds that reportedly had no adverse effects on human health or the environment that's a quote but nearly fifteen years later he faced fines from the italian government who argued that the crops could pose
8:20 am
a risk. well italy has previously asked the european commission to bomb the use of g.m. seeds nationwide but was turned down in twenty thirteen be issued a ministerial decree that led to farmers being sued but this new e.u. court decision effectively over rules found some farmers in italy give us their thoughts on the use of genetically modified seeds. i believe that if italy has decided that g.m. owes will not be grown on its territory that decision has total legitimacy those who come to italy have the opportunity to buy and taste a large amount of local products these products are the result of years of work and one hundred year old farming history what will we gain from g.m. most if a sovereign state decides that certain laws are fundamental to its economy i don't think it is right that the e.u. can interfere with those laws but. if you produce in italy and you are
8:21 am
italian you should follow italian laws not force things that go against those laws we work here and we do not break our laws we respect them we completely reject g.m. seeds we produce high quality products in former ghana. all the fears over g.m. crops are wide vary they range from minor food allergies to more serious cases like infertility miscarriage birth defects and even cancer the spy felt the e.u. court approved some g.m. seeds usage in italy and we discussed it with a number of experts. or. not these crops are forbidden because we still do not understand what the consequences are so far there has been no proper research for this reason we do not know in five years ten years twenty years what can happen surely this ruling creates a president that makes it urgent and mr serry to conduct research and experiments the choice to use g.m. suits or not should not be dictated by economic political or social parameters but
8:22 am
must be dictated only and exclusively by technical choices and scientific analysis there is a very strong conflict of jodi's diction the which cannot be solved because there is no upper or toit above the european union the european union lol so we put a very young love for now on so we certainly allow the every. modify farmer to farm or we speak a lot about genetically modified organisms well because it is a very true and the topic because people are interested in this but there are many conflicts of jurisdiction between between the you and the italy i don't see as a positive thing this infringement of italian laws by the european union. and afghan asylum seeker who face taliban death threats is back in britain after the u.k. government lost a lengthy court case over his plea for safety twenty two year old summoned biggs
8:23 am
out was threatened by the taliban because of his contacts with the afghan government and american military fled in twenty fifteen he was detained this july after britain's home office dismissed his asylum claim he was part of playing to turkey last month but the pilot refused to take off after seeing him weeping and in distress big sound was finally flown to the poor last choose the i think it was the spider you care high court injunction which meant he should not have been sent no that meant the home secretary's now accused of contempt of court as a result he right back in britain on sunday while his case is rethink it. i've been in contact with him will be from his room in kabul where he was told that he couldn't leave. i think he's said that he's scared he's anxious he's worried about things going outside and he thinks he for that he was
8:24 am
a real danger despite being in a relatively secure area he was very very scared it will be and he was hoping for this moment for him to return back to the u.k. have him to return back to safety to be with his friends and be with his a foster family simon was in detention for a number of months before this removal attempts so he was subjected to just mention which. is an inhumane thing for many many people for a number of months before then attempts to return him back to afghanistan somewhere where he teeth is the home office ses the number of detained asylum seekers being returned or leaving voluntarily rose slightly in the year to june big zones lawyer sees that stone to a shift in home office policy. time him is an extreme example of this he was subjected to removal attempts where the pilot refused to fly him as a result of that the home office seemed to be destructive and therefore removed him with two and a half hours notice not allowing him
8:25 am
a chance they could bite speak twenty one or more importantly allow us to make a legal case for his return this is something which is happening more and more as a result of a change of the home office policy recently i mean there are many people in detention centers who are moved without any notice who are also suffering this is well who. don't have the opportunity of having a lawyer or having so many people advocating for them so i'm happy that we're over three seven but i feel sad that that many more who we haven't been able to say. now witness the fall to retake the syrian city of rock up which was once proclaimed the couple of islamic state also hear first hand accounts of those fighting terrorists that is next in the road to russia premiering today or to. prescribe medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was

9:01 am
a.t.m. in houston one pm in reykjavik and four in the afternoon here in moscow wherever you're joining us from iraq in the globe welcome to our international our top story russia america's top diplomat washington's request for the first time since relations plunged to what's been described as a post cold war low our new york correspondent kill up and house more on what's. during their forty five minute conversation. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson held a meeting on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly now the meeting was initiated by the american side the issues discussed specifically were syria and ukraine in syria there are accusations being leveled by the united states that u.s.
9:02 am
backed rebel forces were directly attacked by russia now russia says that these rebel forces were not attacked that rather it was only i still forces that were attacked but the area in question the issue is the city of darryl's or it's important to know that this is taking place as there have been breakthroughs in the negotiations in russia iran and turkey have actually reached a breakthrough a document has been released and deescalation zones are actually being a stablished in the country and the northwestern regions of syria in the province and elsewhere we're actually starting to see breakthroughs in deescalation zones in the country be a stablished as a result of the negotiations that are taking place in kazakstan between the three parties now it's also important to note that another issue that was discussed was the issue of ukraine and a lab rob and rex tillerson discussed implementing the minsk agreement for peace and deescalation of tensions in ukraine there's been ongoing fighting in ukraine in

the east in the donbass region and the us secretary of state and the russian foreign minister did discuss the possibility of implementing the agreement and making sure there were no tension. sweet the u.s. secretary of state admitted the level of trust between washington. and you lou but middle east expert risk the trumpet ministration still wants to improve ties despite pressure not to. with develop and sincere original syria reaching a sensitive phase particularly in that eastern region the close of the border with iraq i think that the americans thought that it was very important to focus on the fact that there should be another kind of collisions whatsoever i think it also points out the facts which is an important issue to trumpet ministration this spite the congressional pressures that are you know despite the presence of anti russian voices in the administration such as wiki halley deal with similar sort of took are
9:04 am
you aware that mr trump doesn't appear to have given up it seems that misty on his efforts to improve the toys between the u.s. and russia although how much will be successful is something which is open for debate as well as well as the sideline talks between russia and the u.s. focus on the un general assembly this week is likely to be on the korean peninsula last week the u.n. security council unanimously passed a resolution on new sanctions against pyongyang the document was healed as a victory of the publicity however donald trump didn't see it that way calling it quote not a big deal on the u.s. president is expected to talk about possible reforms to the u.n. up the general assembly on tuesday objecting booga now reports on washington hunting that it's pretty much exhausting every diplomatic possibility on north korea. really sort of sounds like the military option is sort of becoming the

frontrunner for them we've had the american ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley saying that she feels that the united nations security council has really already done all that they can when it comes to north korea and that she's really already prepared to hand off the crisis to the u.s. secretary of defense adding that in that situation north korea would be quote destroyed and that's something we have coming from a diplomat i said yesterday i'm perfectly happy taking this over to general mattis because he has plenty of military options if the united states has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way north korea will be destroyed and we all know that and none of us want that none of us want war so there we have haley saying she's happy to hand it over to mattis and not long ago we had he himself describing briefly what would sort of look like what a military option with north korea would look like and very best words saying that the response would be both effective and overwhelming any threat to the united
9:06 am
states george territories including. or our allies will be met with a massive military response the response both objective and overwhelming we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country namely north korea but as i said we have many options to do show and in the same light many remember all of the comments that we've had from trump himself fire and fury and whatnot and amid those threats that we've heard coming from the president he's repeated a number of times that talking with north korea just isn't going to be effective not really diplomatic words that we have coming from the president himself and on sunday trump also referred to the north korean leader as rocket man and the tweet comments that are unlikely to go without a response and it's worth noting that while some in the trumpet ministration are still hopeful for a diplomatic solution calling for it it does seem that the focus has sort of shifted from that as sort of like an afterthought and going more towards the
9:07 am
looming military option. however we heard from the co-founder of the national campaign to end the korean war he could be ready for a diplomatic solution if the u.s. presents. it will not negotiate the nuclear weapons unless the u.s. sends its hostile parle policies toward the d.p. r. k. so consequently you've got two sides in a tug of war and that we're left with very little option other than considering fire and fury and in reality that shows not only a lack of creativity but arguably violates our commitments under international law as well the idea that in a tug of war you have to let go of one end of the road you have to have the courage to do that and then use creative aspects of conflict resolution to get the job done . the ukase media has been left somewhat speculating
9:08 am
after the arrest of a second suspect in the london underground explosion there's little known about the two individuals being questioned while london. no charges have been hundred died by police as yet there have been two arrests significant arrests of the police to continue their investigations are just at the site where the room where the people used to live with the rest of eight but you'd appreciate the suspects no charge she's yes. let's cross live now to honest to see a church has been following developments in london as the marriage just say at the are suspects they're arrested but no charges have been hunted done what has been said in the media about them. well you've been following this latest terror attack in the u.k. while an investigation is certainly still ongoing the press here have certainly been abuzz with alleged details on potential suspects and of course we have to be
9:09 am
clear that a lot of the information is yet to be officially confirmed but what we have seen in the media throughout these last couple of days this weekend and this morning are basically they've concentrated on two men and one of them has been unnamed he is said to be an eighteen year old allegedly of iraqi origin it has been reported here by the british press that he had moved to the u.k. when he was fifteen years old following the death of both of his parents in iraq around the time now he is said to have been arrested on friday evening near the port of dover and there has been c.c.t.v. footage images being circulated in the media that seem to indicate and lead to the allegations in the media that key could be the main suspect and the main culprit in this latest attack because in those images we can see a young man covered his head down carrying
9:10 am
a bag similar to the one that had partially detonated at parsons green tube station on friday morning a little bag and so the allegations there are he is the main suspect so far that's being said in the media now the second suspect is being named and he's described as twenty one year old for rukh now the media here in the u.k. seem to have tracked down his facebook page that seems to indicate according to him if this is indeed his facebook page that he is from damascus syria and this facebook page seems to also say that he had studied english in the british capital as well as worked for an events company in london now according to the media the second man the twenty one year old was arrested in west london on saturday night outside. chicken shop by four undercover police officers and he's also said to have lived near relatively near to heathrow airport and according to the press this man
9:11 am
had apparently or allegedly moved to the. ship back in twenty thirteen so these are just some of the facts that are being circulated and discussed here in the media again yet to be confirmed by official reports but we do know that these two men are also said to have been foster and foster care at some point by an elderly british couple in sorry and that according to the media these are to the two people that have so far been arrested in relation to this latest terror incident in the u.k. live from london on this is here to bring us up to date with what we know and indeed what we don't thank you very much for the. joint military drills between russia and belarus are well underway scores of helicopters tanks ships are involved in defensive maneuvers the first stage of the drills of simulated country direct threats to belarus and repairing foreign fighters but.
9:13 am
some western officials to express concern there what they see is a direct threat to european security with more on the tears in my life. so we finally made our way to the music you probably going to lose your range here in northwestern russia that's where the military says they will have the main stage of their drills with belarus it's been raining cats and dogs because they but the military spokesperson promised us a great performance. the joint exercises between russia. and now into defeat state and well haven't signed into invasion of europe so far as i can tell but concerts media expectations perhaps the drills very sitting huge media attention long before they even start to western the fishnets have been a little more reserved in that but just a little bit they're about to do an exercise in russia. it's going to tail up to one hundred thousand russian troops moving into into that country the great concern
9:14 am
is they're not going to leave and that's you know that's not paranoia that's active concern among among the countries the data from the russian that the russian ministry of defense suggests that's a total of thirteen thousand troops going to participate and that's from both sides and the majority of them are from balad respond the way but in the eyes of washington and some european capitals the numbers could be ten or even twenty times higher something must go says it's fine to quote. but let's now see what we've got here. b.m.p. see the more the nice t. seventy two nothing new actually but these are the working horses of the russian army for military found like me like a piece of land. and mine have reporting there he touched upon this a pod exercises have been well releasing some sensationalist media reporting some
9:15 am
even suggested they are pretty loose to the invasion of eastern europe we travel to a lot feehan town and near the russian border to find out what the locals there are think about the likelihood of a russian invasion. i think this is all a generic nothing will happen i know that it's remarkable sort of seriously of course everything will be all keep these russian drills are actually an answer to need to drill in the baltics nulled guard no no everything's fine there's no negative information representatives are invited to russian so all the dangers are being exaggerated we've got a real double standard here russia and belarus are allies they are carrying out these exercises they're very transparent there are international observers there and russia and belarus are both got very good reasons to be to be carrying out these military exercises the nato critics are being very hypocritical we're living
9:16 am
in an orwellian kind of propaganda framework at the moment where the countries who have done the attacking of other countries the countries that have posed a threat to world peace are pretending to be the countries under threat and but in actual fact it's russia which is acting here defensively with good cause because we've seen what nato has done in the destruction they've caused around the world there's been a third consecutive night of violence in the u.s. city of st louis we get into that in about ninety seconds time. the international community continues lee emphasize about one theoretical united iraq as a slogan maybe an approach will be politicians but the reality on the ground in
9:17 am
iraq is not united. that wants to be blamed school what is happening in the rest of iraq and the direct wrong directions that iraq has gone through. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around. washington washington media the. voters elected to run this country business because. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. you're back with r t international the european union's top court has overruled the
9:18 am
talian law and a lot of farmer there to sow a genetically modified crops that's the spine every region in the country saying that they were against the controversial food source back in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight the farmer in question was or through eyes by the european court to use specific seems reportedly had quote no adverse effects on human health or the environment but nearly fifteen years later face fines from the italian government to argue the crops could pose a risk. well kelly has previously asked the european commission to the use of g.m. seeds nationwide but was turned on in twenty thirty they issued a ministerial decree that led to farmers being sued but this new e.u. court decision effectively overrules all but some farmers in italy gave us their thoughts on the use of genetically modified seeds. i believe that if italy has decided that g m o's will not be grown on its territory that decision has
9:19 am
total legitimacy those who come to italy have the opportunity to buy and taste a large amount of local products these products are the result of years of work and one hundred year old farming history what will we gain from g.m. most if a sovereign state decides that certain laws are fundamental to its economy i don't think it is right that the e.u. can interfere with those laws but. if you produce in italy and you are italian you should follow italian laws not force things that go against those laws we work here and we do not break our laws we respect them we completely reject g.m. seeds we produce high quality products in former ghana. the figures over g.m. crops are wide and they are varied they range from minor food allergies to more serious cases like infertility miscarriage birth defects and even counts or the spy thought that you courts approve some g.m.
9:20 am
seeds usage in italy we discussed that with a number of experts. i think of it quits or. not these crops are forbidden because we still do not understand what the consequences are so far there has been no proper and in-depth research for this reason we do not know in five years ten years twenty years what can happen surely this ruling creates a president that makes it urgent and necessary to conduct research and experiments the choice to use g.m. seeds or not should not be dictated by economic political or social parameters but must be dictated only and exclusively by technical choices and scientific analysis there is a very strong conflict of jurisdiction the which cannot be solved because there is no upper or toit above the european union the european union knowles will prevail on the italian law from now on so with this certainly allow the every genetically
9:21 am
modify farm to farm what we speak a lot about genetically modified organisms because it is a very true and it topic because people are interested in this but there are many conflicts of jurisdiction between between the u. and italy i don't see as a positive thing this infringement of italian laws by the european union. to another big story of the week there has been a third consecutive night of violence in the us city of st louis after a former police officer was acquitted of murdering a black man sunday's demonstration started as a peaceful march but the send it into rioting with property damaged and police officers assaulted more than eighty arrests were made. i was i. i i. well by nightfall the marches turned into
9:22 am
chaos protesters smashed windows threw trash cans at officers there were reports of police for a talk with no one chemicals on friday demonstrators vandalized the merciful i'm going the city's been swelling since a judge cleared former officer jason stokley of killing lamar smith and twenty eleven. let's bring in the youth activist police advisor ken hines to the program ken good to have you with us where violent protests forseeable do you think after such
9:23 am
a decision. i think that was inevitable that you would have some sort of reaction particularly. the information that was out in the public arena regarding what the officers say two minutes before he shot mr smith's day. and on top of that he also had planted a gun in mr smith's car so it's incredible that so you know again it's again. it defies belief that a police officer can shoot an unarmed innocent man and get away with your thoughts on the reaction to that you know isn't such violence counterproductive given the extent to which they actually hurt the local community i'm talking about black owned businesses etc getting the worst of the violence does not help the situation in any way it doesn't violence is never justified on the circumstances
9:24 am
even though people may say there was a mitigating factors in this case here but personally i don't think violence is acceptable particularly when as you say it you're harming your very own community. that's been undermined fruita can i wish we could speak more we're just going right to break unfortunate thank you so much for joining us this hour youth activists police advisor can. get out of all the news we have now i'll see you in thirty five minutes time here on r.t. international. it's. with little make this manufacture consent instead of public wells. when the
