the university of maryland has issued leaflets inviting white students to join a group called white awake to discuss race issues do you want to improve your ability to relate to and connect with people different from yourself do you sometimes feel uncomfortable and confused before during more of their interactions with racial and ethnic minorities do you want to become a better ally this group of was a safe space for white students to explore their experiences questions reactions and feelings in a campus counseling centers now remove the flyers insisting they were mis understood it also changed the group's name to anti racism and ally building group people are divided on the issue. it's giving people a place to express their opinions on race and discuss important topics in a safer environment in general when people who are white discuss the topic it's
2:31 pm
seen as inherently racist why not didn't every identity group have their space and should not have a positive had gender and goal to be approved the way i interpret it is that white people are being victimized by interacting with us from my understanding it's simply a space for white students to get woke and learn to dismantle dangerous social preconceptions they might have these uncomfortable conversations but necessary for social progress the only harm i see is it becoming a white affinity group here are political activist and rogers right and social commentator and to me by logan. i think that i'm not sure why white people would need to feel safe on a college campus person formalised i don't think that they are in any imminent danger and they certainly aren't in any more danger than say muslim students certainly students of color i think that as we heard from some of the students the
2:32 pm
poor execution you know the name of the group having to change from white to weight is an indication that they pretty much aren't very educated on the issues of racism in the first place personally i don't see anything wrong with have been a group that is one particular race or the has one particular race and it's i do you can so shape with whatever you want to associate with you can have a white group black group asian group and all these other groups exist there's never any kind of problem nobody says anything about and i see no organization on campus the black organization on campus and age an organization on campus but we have a white organization all of that is a problem either we have many groups there are no specific groups or we allow all of them yeah so so two things i mean i think we have to be clear and stating that first of all people of color especially black people can and cannot be racist ok because racism only if we change it is an racial prejudice there is no there's no debate as race racism is not something that you can just turn on the tone or it's
2:33 pm
an off color or anybody could be racist that that's not true you have to have power to be racist you have to have power black people don't have power most next people don't have power native american people don't have power now i would deny that black and brown people can be bigoted but that is different from racism racism is racial prejudice i mean it's power that according to say today you have to have power to be racist i mean when did i definition become the standard like i never seen it before is it exactly negative i mean i mean i don't think that like we can go by a dictionary that was written mainly by white people. to force standard definition on an issue like racism as we saw in the scene not a mix of spike lee's movie when you look at that dictionary and just look at the definitions of white and black you can already see implicit bias and racial prejudice right right just those two words that were in this particular group i think they they were more on the extreme liberal side they're trying to actually
2:34 pm
come together and help their so-called people of color people just sort of fly or automatically get offended without taken its time to really understand what's going on and that's why he changed his name because i didn't want anybody to just think automatically oh we're some kind of racist hateful group they're really on a side of the left i think this right here eggs an example of the left eating their own. the u.s. envoys accused russia of violating sanctions against north korea nikki haley's claims came at a meeting of the un security council in new york the united states has evidence of consistent and wide ranging russian violations one russian vessel called the patriot was captured on film transferring refined petroleum to a north korean controlled vessel in april of this year that is un listed last month the independent panel of experts on the employment taishan of north korean sanctions submitted its bi annual report to the sanctions committee. the report
2:35 pm
contained evidence of multiple russian sanction violations we have seen and read this report but when the panel submitted the report to the security council last week we noticed something deeply troubling. the evidence of russian violations that was detailed in the earlier report was missing. it had been removed from the open section of the report apparently russia threatened to prevent release of the report unless its demands to hide the evidence of its knowledge since was met we then heard a response after these these series of allegations were made by the us representative nikki haley after she spoke and made all kinds of allegations against russia we heard a response from the representative of the russian federation now he proceeded to desex these allegations and claims and before he did that he pointed out that it
2:36 pm
was interesting that a meeting about north korea seemed to be turning into a meeting about russia. regarding the time coup which allegedly violates its think sions the expert group has concluded that it did not complete the claim that we deleted posts of the report containing violations by russian companies is not true however these claims with the policy of monks own pyongyang the us is trying to take control of the un security council i have a feeling sometimes that the us confuses the un security council with its own us national security council now the russian ambassador also criticized the united states for blocking railway connections between north and south korea saying that intercalary a dialogue should be encouraged as they move ahead to try and resolve the nuclear issue on the peninsula one thing that stood out in the remarks from the russian ambassador was that he pointed out that a lot of progress has been made he said just
2:37 pm
a year ago it seemed like the security council was frequently meeting to discuss north korea but now we've seen a meeting between the head of state of the united states and the head of state of north korea meeting has taken place progress is being made and that that optimism should be the way this issue is being approached that a lot of progress is being made in the situation is moving ahead so quite an interesting meeting we've heard those allegations against russia from the united states and then we also heard the representative of russia responding and distracting those allegations. more news coming up after this break. at the list on. my side i said. good night

2:42 pm
tump supporters removed her job and called her names political content steve malzberg believes u.s. media are giving people a reason to lie by pushing an image of trump as being a racist. i think that woman is influenced by what she hears and sees in the media the media portrays donald trump as a racist homophobe is enough for a big hit not see and i think that when you crave attention and you hear all these things naturally you're going to get attention and sympathy if you say oh oh you know this is true look what happened to me and by saying that for her trump supporters surrounded her told her to get out and then slashed her tires the next morning she had her ten seconds or fifteen minutes however you want to look at it you have attention it's a narrative driven by the media that this is going to happen to you if you're black and if you're minority and if you're mexican if you're an immigrant or if you're gay this is you're going to be attacked that's what the media and the left is
2:43 pm

2:44 pm
by. was up and latest events in cannes is a scene politicians and some migrant organizations hit out of the country's head of intelligence that's after he called into question the way the media covered violence in the city i share the skepticism about media reports of right wing extremist foreigners in came this based on my cautious assessment there are good reasons to believe that this was intentional false information possibly to detract attention from the murdering kendis. madison's comments could potentially see the current german coalition government collapse as the social democrats are calling on anglo-american to sack him while the chancellor appears reluctant to go that far meanwhile apart from anti migrant rallies there have been plenty of pro refugee demonstrations across germany two on the latest was in cologne on sunday then in germany say that they're worried by the power rise at the right.
2:45 pm
i. class and for shit in their games and objects were polled to the restaurant and myself some hit the window panes others hit the entrance sign there were also things flying along the terrace and one stone hit me on my right shoulder i was really terrified with my adrenalin running high so i was half stunned and wasn't able to understand much but still i managed to make out the words jewish pig and that i should get out of germany. like in the back of my mind i realized that i should take a few photos so that i wouldn't lie to myself later on how many people there were
2:46 pm
worth it because at the time it seemed like it could have been three or a hundred people there i didn't want to exaggerate it looked like a mass of people forgot to take the two photos and went back into the restaurant i told the customers they should state inside that it was no fun outside the. geo political analysts to rayna rough believes that german politicians aren't doing themselves any favors by indiscriminately branding concerned citizens neo nazis. we have to absolutely just a problem in germany which grew quite considerably since twenty fifty in and the german authorities should react and not start blaming whole populations for their own in activity in handling the refugee crisis and its impact on the security situation their population is really divided and so it will be very very important to keep it differentiate between very few right wing extremists above all
2:47 pm
eastern parts of germany and a large part of the population which is just worried about the situation and the further development and the lack of adequate response that's why our political decision makers. the sole observatory in the u.s. who opens today after being closed down by the f.b.i. ten days ago are the authorities played a security issue the story is to get away from speculation. there was. a bunch of people around them to notice and work crews from the showers but nobody would.

2:49 pm
the law enforcement investigation. crowds gathered in the libyan capital on sunday calling for the president and other top politicians to quit they were protesting over the disastrous situation in the country which remains in political crisis since i broke out seven years ago if there and i did by rival governments and groups. on government is based in tripoli and backed by the united nations the other isn't broken controls a large part of the east still controlled by delicious. and isis is after they helped ignite violence some european countries are now starting to express regret at their involvement in the nato led intervention in libya. in march of two thousand and eleven norway committed to the military intervention in libya leading to the ousting of gaddafi and the ruin country we see today but a shock norwegian state commission report now admits the country knew next to
2:50 pm
nothing about what they were doing and actually went to war relying on media reports norway had very limited knowledge of libya when the uprising started in february twenty eleven in such situations decision makers often malone information from media and other countries colonel gadhafi continues to slaughter his own civilians and he viciously targeted americans the international community offered the final chance to stop his campaign of killing or face the consequences for attacks by regime forces on the libyan citizens when they turned to us and asked us for help stopping a massacre how do you say no so also jumped on the bandwagon playing an alarmingly significant role and why shouldn't they it was by the book there was even a un security council resolution on the situation to cover them if you ignore all the commentators warning the resolution did not green flag the mass bombing of libya norway's report also reveals there was practically no one else this before
2:51 pm
jumped in. the room. indicating that before deciding to send warplanes to libya the government assist the type of conflict norway was taking part in. now that failure could hardly have had more serious consequences the country now lies in ruins seven years on libya is still being ripped apart by rival governments well wishers armed to the teeth and islamist militants just last week i simply responsibility for a shooting that killed two and wounded ten more at the headquarters of the state oil company at the top of the slaughter there were infighting among the free world government backed by the u.s. oh oh. oh oh perhaps unsurprisingly some politicians in norway are now distancing themselves from the decision given what we know today this was
2:52 pm
a war for a regime change norway should not have participated in the libyan war when you look at what happened next with libya becoming a terrorism hotspot this is not a decision to be proud of. of course they're not the first to come to that sorry conclusion the u.k. parliament got there two years ago this report determines the u.k. policy in libya before and since the intervention of march two thousand and eleven was founded on a road use assumptions and an incomplete understanding of the country and the situation and barack obama infamously admitted the aftermath was the biggest mistake of his presidency but that's likely to bring little comfort to the civilian still reeling in the shattered nation a senior researcher at the norwegian foreign policy institute told us politicians didn't understand the consequences of the intervention. arc this is for lisa and the coalition government that i am gay but dammit this is what has happened that
2:53 pm
all of these rights pain and death but they are expressing some cigarettes are. also they're saying that they didn't understand but. without that with. what may have the need if. they were mainly doing this for the military and the statistics and the fall for the the standing that. they had as the american military and the main idea. argued by almost all the key. players in this. obviously there are more dems will be on the humanitarian reasoning it was basically interest that the. regime change getting rid of gaddafi i don't think that's necessarily all many people dismiss the. back to our top story this hour the russian turkish presidents have agreed to
2:54 pm
create a demilitarized zone in italy the province is the last remaining terrorist stronghold in syria. with you sorry to create along the battle line to militarize. fifteen it will be from fifteen to twenty kilometers wide we will move radicalized militants. including. what is being the coach has more on the latest developments very important decisions were indeed made during those hours a long talks between a russia and turkey now the deescalation zone was hanging in the air during the negotiations but the two leaders seem to disagree all the way through with that's why this particular agreement which was of the press conference came as a surprise to so many now of the both sides agreed to create a demilitarized zone between the militants and a government troops of around fifteen to twenty kilometers by the fifteenth of
2:55 pm
october and also during the press conference of the turkish president said that to gather with russia they will radek a terrorism in the region. together with russia we will make maximum effort to get rid of radical groups from this territory turkey and russia will patrol this territory to ensure compliance right after the talks are russia's defense minister announced that there is going to be no military offensive on at length he also added that all the details of the agreement which was a reach today will be discussed with the syrian government of very soon during the upcoming talks the situation in the province of idlib has been a crucial topic of discussions for weeks on the international stage between syria russia turkey the us and iran so now this decision is surely important as it eases this threat of escalation on the ground. but dana said the question of how to deal
2:56 pm
with the terrorists has dominated international talks for weeks russia turkey agreements already gone in reaction in the u.s. mint this intelligence chief calling the move quote encouraging more walk after iraq to a british thing time and also says that progress is being made bay's focus was mainly on the on the did live plant but if you go back ten days ago to the terran summit. these three players happen are not only thinking short term but up although it's also thinking at least medium term in terms of you know fighting the american project in eastern syria has so on and so forth so they are very much integrating and it tells you that the stand up process has really gone a long way in consolidating cooperation between these three countries and from behind the scenes as well one could easily argue the syrian government think the americans are worried again going back to the ten days ago to that iran summit.
2:57 pm
it was clear that those three countries agreed that the united states is bluffing when it says it's actually. combating terrorism in eastern syria whilst it's supporting separatists aspirations of the kurdish militia and that this is a threat to all countries involved. ok we're going to take a little short break back at the top of the hour with more. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies current ahead as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company developed thalidomide a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but all you
