2:03 pm
mayor bill de blasio saying he vows to do better at announcing today that the city will limit capacity at parks in order to enforce social distancing rules and says that some parks could see restrictions in the coming days. but as officials struggle to manage the corona virus outbreak in new york city dozens of children are falling ill across the country from a rare illness officials are calling pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome most commonly we're seeing kids presenting with fever it's going to going on for 3 or 4 days typically a ration that's a very disseminated rash it could be all over the. of the hands in the schools that was just kind of been usual a rash is new york authorities say at least 64 cases have been reported in the state following a health advisory alert this week after 15 illnesses were reported in new york city many children testing positive for corona virus or the antibodies suggesting a potential link to me and what we're. in the children suggests
2:04 pm
that in some children. a rare small number of kids they have a hyper. inflammatory response it happens medical groups in britain italy and spain warning doctors last month to look out for the condition some doctors say the new york cases increase the likelihood that the syndrome is a rare complication of colds in 1000 although that remains unproven reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . u.n. secretary general antonio terrace says the coronavirus pandemic is unleashing a tsunami of hate xenophobia scapegoating and fear mongering and friday he made this appeal listen here and with feeling today for an all out effort to end speech globally i call on political leaders to be there to see with all members of their societies and build the dream for social cohesion but when she goes on to say anti
2:05 pm
foreigner sentiment has surged online and in the streets anti-semitic conspiracy theories have spread and covert 1000 related anti muslim attacks have even occurred and that migrants and refugees have been vilified as a source of this virus and then denied access to medical treatment so for more on this we're going to discuss with the former m.p. george galloway george great to see you thanks for joining us so 1st things 1st your reaction to what the u.n. chief says. well there was very disturbing the footage that you've just shown which of course how i like to very point that the secretary general was making there's little doubt i think of that minorities are being targeted by idiots but also by law enforcement agents as we've just watched. is deeply disturbing indeed there's been a tripling of physical attacks verbal attacks on chinese people
2:06 pm
in britain in the last 5 weeks and there's not doubt many chinese people in britain my own wife who is not chinese but looks like she might be and is heavily pregnant to boot has had this in the neck herself in a pleasant middle class suburb i'm aware very aware of the dangers of this kind of madness and of course the tone for it is it by our governments who continue to fight wars or get ready to fight wars all over the world in defiance of the very same secretary general and the paul who both appealed for our nation to our great nation and military action and sanctions and so on instead we've got hate speech filtering down right to our own very streets and europe you know as the saying goes history often repeat itself and it's very ironic that i envy a day celebrating the day that the nazis surrendered you saw the same fear
2:07 pm
mongering during a world war in particular anti-semitism now we're in a world war against a pandemic what say you and why does this always kind of happen during moments like this. well the other side of the coin was certainly in britain we were on the direct bombardment in a way that you were no on threat of invasion in a way that you were not actually the population overwhelmingly came together and anti social manifestations like we're talking about now what extremely rare if not non existent in the 2nd world war of course in occupied europe pogroms took place people fell upon their own jewish neighbors even before the nazis arrived killing them certainly handing them over to the nazis in the when they did arrive
2:08 pm
so it's patchy but the ve day point you make is a very good one the unity is strength and it was the unity of the wartime alliance and of the wartime 'd alliances civilian population of us that led to this triumph which in my view is the greatest triumph in all human history just imagine if we have not drawn from foreign we would not be having this conversation people like me would be long dead and in any case we might be talking in german coming from london because that was what was at stake and people somehow knew about then and they came together to face the enemy doesn't seem like that's happening this time around you make an excellent point there now do you think it can be stopped i mean sometimes when messages like what the un chief is calling for i can either start a movement or you can have the opposite effect and people can you know it can backfire
2:09 pm
in an age of social media where we are now hunkered down away from each other but we're more reachable than ever with the their phones tablets computers what have you do you picture these anti these these hate sentiments getting better or worse now after this call. for an appeal. world you know i've just been going through the comments on my facebook page which is a very busy one of very big one and i said to my wife about half an hour ago i'm losing the will to live here when i see the kind of things the kind of hate which appears online makes me wonder for the state of the human race i must tell you and i don't think these police officers in brooklyn are going to behave better because they've been caught out there might just look out for commerce so we're living in very difficult times i think fatah in your country and
2:10 pm
in mine and in many others if you want to look for an alternative or look at china look out china came together to fight the coronavirus it's a truly extraordinary feat and when all the dust is clear people will have to acknowledge that people will have to see a society that almost militarized itself against a virus and killed the virus with only 3 or 4000 dead people in the country saw the something rotten in your state and mine. shakespeare might put it and i don't think we have to look farther than racism and inequality for the reason i will when they were right there with you george galloway former m.p. george always thank you for your time. this month the city of baltimore is kicking off a new aerial surveillance program after it received approval from
2:11 pm
a judge but do privacy advocates have legitimate concerns about this technology and will it spread to other cities potentially across the nation lam joined by artie's rachel blevins to discuss more of these details rachel this is pretty shocking what do we know about this program so far right now that's launching in baltimore rise of a baltimore police department has started this 6 month program to test out this aerial surveillance technology that covers 90 percent of the city and police are saying this could be a great tool to help crack down on criminals but this service is being provided by a private company based in ohio and it's being funded by a private donor now i had a chance earlier to talk with retired baltimore supervisor dr michael wood jr and he said baltimore likely isn't the only city that is considering this take a listen. this company has quite an orwellian name for assistance surveillance kind of sets the stage for what we're talking about but this is not new to baltimore and it's not confined to baltimore this is been going back and forth between baltimore
2:12 pm
and chicago p.d. these 2 agencies continue to advise them playing each other it's like the blind leading the blind. now we actually found out that baltimore was already using aerial surveillance back in 2016 and at the time they were working with that same company persistent surveillance so there is a chance that as they start this pilot program it could be used as a blueprint to sell the cities across the country great and i just heard my hometown of chicago so what do you do now one of the ongoing concerns about the surveillance one of the most glaring concern is that this is technology that gives police the power to record citizens across the city just living their normal daily lives even if they are not being suspected of having committed a crime now doctor would also said that when it comes to technology about that it's all about the accountability that these police departments have to face take a listen to his explanation it's a vow to control. body charmers or traffic cameras or warrants or anything else police do sure it will catch criminals and that is great but what about when we are
2:13 pm
using is a hunt down your social justice in violations were monitoring your political rivals or tracking down everyone who works your backyard barbecue. now we're at a time where most americans are still under stay at home order so there's a lot of concerns about what happens the police suddenly have the ability to record every time you leave your home or maker into the grocery store and what kind of issues will arise out of that and he makes a lot of excellent points like you just heard there so for baltimore specifically the rachel is there anything being done by the legislators there to pursue this police accountability right well baltimore their police department has seen a lot of issues of transparency and accountability that we have seen echoed across the country so i also had a chance to talk to maryland state senator cory mcrae and he said that one of the issues that they are working on right now is making sure that the police department is required to submit to audits regularly to take a listen to what he said we put in the bill that basically said that this state of
2:14 pm
maryland has to conduct on its the border more city police department in a set number of years. syria looking at things like overtime looking at things like the confiscation of mature he was looking at things different checks and balances that would benefit not just the city of baltimore but. now senator mcrae also so the legislatures have come together in support of a bill that would require hiring police officials to live within city limits something other city agencies already require so there is some hope that maybe we could see some reforms coming to the baltimore police department within the next year but at the same time now that we're talking about aerial surveillance and transparency there that's likely just another issue that will be added to the list always as always rachel blevins great reporting on this one we'll continue to follow the story thanks thank you. 2 men have been arrested and charged for the killing of a lot our barry in georgia months after the incident happened and new evidence
2:15 pm
2:16 pm
listen stumbling online algorithms dictate what you get to want to go to portable dot tv slash download to get killer television it's completely free i'm talking award winning comedy awesome sports coverage inside so fresh still tastes like raspberries on a spring day take so hot they'll burn your face off thousands of videos more added by the hour did i mention 3 it's it's yeah it's 3 go go get it portable t.v. . i'm holland cook i invite you to climb with me above the main stream media empire and from that higher fan to each to glimpse the big picture question more. i like it when the hosts ask a question for the guests and then actually listens to the guests answer and moan
2:17 pm
and react to that answer a folks dentist will or hear i've got a new show. of my pap and tony a host of america's lawyer with white collar criminals policy high profits and sneer at the pain of those they ripped off and ruined for that's right come in question for. thursday evening georgia authorities arrested a white father and son charging them both with the february shooting death of 25 year old black man i'm out our barry you see here he was jogging on a residential street just outside of the port city of brunswick now gregory make michael and his son told police that he and his son chased after our berry because
2:18 pm
they suspected him of being a burglar the georgia governor coming forward and saying quote earlier this week i watched a video depicting mr r. barry's last moments alive i can tell you it's absolutely horrific and georgians deserve answers i have full confidence in the georgia bureau of investigation will be working around the clock to find the truth so to discuss more about this former u.s. marshal matthew fogg matthew thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today 1st things 1st your overall reaction to this case and why do you think it took so long this happened in february. well again this is a situation where i think we're all asking that question i mean they should have read at least once also it would have come onto the scene look of such words there and that this was just a bit at a few would be reckless and malicious at minimal and these gas bubbles that's no reason what they call the law and they don't and that maybe they absolutely claim they thought is god with some place but suspect would it would just no evidence the
2:19 pm
back that up and they allow these guys to go 74 days free which means you know ticket could exist there of the klan seen the whole works that that how you get investigation done if you immediately get in and and you know secured a crime scene and do your investigation so it's it's horrific and it's in its nature and it's unbelievable that this video actually sparked the investigation to even just get underway now the 2 man the father and son they're using the argument of the stand your ground law and the citizen's arrest i want you to 1st listen to the 911 call that was made about our barry listen 1st where he's wrong. what he doing. you. know what you. know what you want to be wrong. so that's the big thing is i just need to know what
2:20 pm
he was doing wrong the stand your ground law depending upon the state says that if you feel threatened and that can vary from for person to person how threatened do you feel is this law to muddy could this actually help this father and son in court or does this law do seem to be tossed out altogether. well i don't see how it could go because the guy was running away he was running away and there was chasing him so bottom line is they complained and you know. and then they confronted him with weapons which. he says i don't understand why did law enforcement charge him but also. as you say in the commission of a crime of a weapon but the bottom line is there was no stand your ground against guy was running away they they approached him and anybody needed to try to get away see you know get away from the death was the individual a suspect but he was trying to get out of where that gun that this man is point and he had no idea who these people were they had no nothing nothing to identify who
2:21 pm
they were they just jumped out on him and a man tried to rob and defend himself and in the process they descended up she just no you had added to this to stand your ground law right now an overarching theme here is police saying it's either you know these vigilantes or having connections to the police you know the father had ties to the district attorney's office and the police how do you think everyday americans are supposed to have faith in the justice system if certain people with the right connections almost walk away with no charges filed. right well you when you're talking about 74 days i mean that's just enough so i mean someone used to answer that and then the fact that when you're talking about the race it is in the video we talk about in this country right now we have this extraordinary amount disparities and those who are charged the ones who are salted those who are killed it just across the board i get a 30 years in law enforcement and i saw it in my career and you could literally see
2:22 pm
the disparities but if you people came for law enforcement officers gameport that it addresses that issue then they would be targeted but the bottom line is you look at this situation specifically you got these individuals. attacking this man like they were law enforcement people want to have a very dangerous felony fugitive and it wasn't that way at all i'm just a gentleman running along the road and they just simply claim they suspect that he had a weapon or not a weapon but they suspected that he committed some type of crime just being a suspect and they use all swat type of approach to this guy like he was somebody that was well known to be a dangerous fugitive no that's and that's what we need to be concerned with across the country but some of these shootings that we see you know some of these acts of bound by law enforcement appears to be just all was ls all the rest of. police officers that you know that should not be the people on the porch so doing what
2:23 pm
they do what even though these guys more any more the courts even though i say that this individual who was a former that was investigator with the state's attorney's office he should have known better he was an attorney he this guy around here the attorney but i know he's a former officer with them and he should have known better he sort of known the rules of engagement and how you approach anybody if you want to do it you don't approach him with guns hang it all out jumping on him and shooting the man when the man is planted don't even know you are so again this is it just seemed like it was a whole lot going on here that is it's. audience possible a lot of concerns that the public has and we've been hearing over and over again in our publics that the people are saying hey why is law enforcement even have this unfettered discretion to do what they want and these guys weren't even law enforcement but you know were acting like they were overzealous i really quickly got about 30 seconds this all came forward because of this video as i mentioned do you think this is going to have to be the scanner going forward one unarmed black
2:24 pm
man is shot and killed unless there is video now who is to say if he was shot in cold blood. what has what we are saying all along and now now in states of trying to regulate what you do it a video in effect that you can't video it's almost like they're trying to protect themselves when the video is what the public needs to see because these things going on all the time believe it and that i've been in 30 years along with i've seen a lot of incidents that because they weren't caught on video nothing was ever really done to that so it will be. and it's a it's a tricky sort of balancing act but it would have video of those guys probably enough to charge it up all right former u.s. marshal matthew dog matt thank you so much for talking to us i'm sure this is not going to last time we analyze the situation with you thanks so much. meantime in indianapolis indiana angry protesters have gathered at the scene where a police officer fatally shot another african-american man according to police
2:25 pm
officers were chasing the man driving recklessly going 90 miles an hour now once stopped police say that an alter cation occurred followed by an exchange of gunfire i don't know if you'll ever get information indicating the officer is a 3rd which appeared to be you know sad and exchanging gunfire between the officer and assisting all the suspects. sure but it goes far. now the officer has been placed on administrative leave and firefighters now in california are battling a brush fire that's already destroyed 150 acres of land officials of the blaze are ruptured on thursday along a ridge near l.a. fire crews are also dealing with hot and dry weather and in the florida panhandle wildfires there forced evacuation of nearly 500 people authorities have named it the 5 mile swath fire as high winds and low humidity cause the fire to expand 10 times in size and we have over now to regina hamm sitting in our sports h.q.
