taking to the streets to protest against the recent killing in george lloyd by police protests have spread far beyond minnesota all across the country clashes are taking place across american streets. thank you. i minnesota's governor tim walz has declared a state of emergency i am answering our local leaders request for minnesota national guard assistance to protect peaceful demonstrators neighbors and small businesses

in minnesota. president trump the founders to seize control of media apparatus and says that there will be shooting if there is more looting the tweet was flagged and suppressed because twitter said it was more of find violence these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let that happen just to give new to mills and told him that the military's with. any difficulty and will assume control box when the looting stone the shooting starts thank you the u.s. attorney general has been deployed to investigate the actions of the officers who took boyd's life i feel very very. badly and it's a very shocking sight bill and i were talking about it before it's one of the reasons bill's here right. because as you know we're very much involved and i've asked attorney general f.b.i. and the attorney general to take a very strong look and to see what went on liberal leaning american media as declare the killing of george floyd and the protests that erupted in its aftermath

it into a long pattern of police brutality racism and the government knowing the concerns of african-americans we do begin with breaking news we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world fires are still burning on the south side of minneapolis after protesters took to the streets to demand justice for george cloyd how do you raise your children in this america today i'm not sure there is an answer necessarily although. you point to angela davis who said it's not enough to be non racist you have to be anti racist however the same media and far less sympathetic in 2015 after baltimore lit up in response to the police killing of freddie gray. was. in 23 concerns of the african-american community to be the last thing the american

media was concerned about while artsy was covering the protests c.n.n. was covering a fancy dinner at the white house this streets of baltimore are filled with protesters hey everyone's wining and dining and this is happening 5060 miles away so you can't ignore that now. you can't ignore that. and yet that it's important i do want to get to the red carpet da from us media finally got around to covering the protests that were trade simply violent ground clashing with the police showing the protesters to be more or less violent with marks a handful of protesters handful of criminals and thugs who who tore up the place isn't it the right word so calling him thugs just call them they just call them at least 15 police officers have been hurt 200 arrests 144 of vehicle fires that these

are statistics local place are put out 15 structure fires there's no excuse for that kind of violence right so what changed why is u.s. media suddenly concerned about african-americans perhaps that u.s. president donald trump is why do you use being racist those protests back in 2015 in baltimore did not fit the liberal narrative that rock obama was leading us toward the post racial era i think if you look historically at the mainstream media and other things that have had. happened they haven't reacted this way and it makes you wonder just why are they giving this so much coverage in the way that they are it's the angle of the coverage and i think like many i believe it may have a lot to do with elections and the political narrative right now and that's incredibly wrong turning this into something where we're allowing people especially these extreme leftists to come in and start fires i think we're actually feeding

into a much darker narrative it's not about this man's death and that's unfortunate it's a battle actions while many are deeply concerned about the killing of an innocent man it seems that powerful forces are not afraid to push their own political agenda it would mop and party in new york earlier on saturday a former new orleans mayor blamed a foreign actors for the riots while appearing on c.n.n. we need to understand and we need to know because what they suggested i saw because of a report we did our state of black america report with the russians did. if you're late in social media donald trump took to twitter to comment on those accusations saying that the fake news media was up to their old tricks again we spoke to george sam wyly from the london global policy institute and philosopher and analyst both believe it was inevitable that russia would be made

a scapegoat. well it was entirely to be expected i was wondering how long it would take for the mainstream media to find a russian angle the people who are presenting this whole russia is to blame that event and they still haven't got oh but 2016 is still replay of the same. trumped russia collusion story for which there's been no evidence whatsoever and on the country all the evidence is pointed against it traditionally when there are these riots public opinion swing still wards the law and order candid it and therefore there is a fear among the c.n.n. and m s n b c called dissenting that this will reach down to the political advantage of donald trump and i think there is an attempt to whittle to this to suggest no no no i mean this isn't violence that's being perpetrated on the streets by black life

map or by and t. thought no no no this is this is about all about russia and we know who russia is really supporting donald trump so therefore it's russia who jane and donald trump together want to blame for the violence not black lives matter and keep hope precisely for the cities or you have to you cannot trust any more of most of the mass media channels in the united states you get the better coverage from all for an open slick are dealing with other sort of for example a bold what is happening through in the united states a both injustice to my your interests the african american the hispanic or even asian but my heart of this out of facing the united states so c.n.n. is a symbol of all for many people fall for you know began as a liberal news hour with bob it is a symbol actually fall from grace in motion and mainstream. or else they should all

'd television stations in the united states. donald trump and twitter have locked horns on friday a tweet by the president about the riots in minnesota was hidden by the social platform in the tweet trump slammed the rioters in minneapolis saying the military supports the governor he also warned that if there was looting and there would also be shooting twitter says the post's violate its rules about glorifying violence artie's down quarter picks up the story for us. donald trump and twitter are clashing swords it all started with the president's tweet about mail in voting his claim that they could lead to fraud was slapped with a fact check labeled by the social media giant and now trump's dishing out some

executive punishment what they choose to fact check and what they choose to ignore or even promote is nothing more than a political activism group or political activism and it's an appropriate executive orders targeted at major social media platforms and aims to trim down legal protections that have long let these companies censor content without liability however trump's liberal opposition seems to think the president is giving this debacle way too much attention trump is out there to do the good this morning conference of the treaty we don't yet know how exactly trump's order will make any legal difference but he's clearly sending a message that these social media corporations do not have a monopoly on truth strangely enough an unlikely ally has come forward to support trump a leader from the very industry that he's at odds with but i don't think. facebook or forms in general should be arbiters of truth i think that's kind of

a dangerous line to get down to in terms of deciding what is what is true and what isn't. and i think political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy and people should go to see what politicians say at the same time facebook announced it's now verifying the identities of important people in its war on distant from ation what a coincidence a number of democrats have already called zuckerberg out for what they saw as pandering to trump as far as it platforms are concerned they want 2 things from the federal government no regulation and no taxes and so they cater to the trumpet ministration all the time i think that my telco barracks statement was a disgrace suck about this not worried about being bullied by trump. he's warned to facebook's p.r. operation is falling apart as it's exposed that pop form relies on white supremacists and dissing from a should populace to be successful they aren't ignoring them that protecting them

the liberals are fighting a 2 front war though both against trump and twitter one of their latest weapons against the platform is a watchdog group called accountable tech it was founded by a former aide to the obama administration and another influential liberal activist they say the organization exists to combat what it considers misinformation and counting able to push for social media pet phones to take immediate meaningful and achievable actions to better serve the public and leave up to their funding idealists at least republicans and democrats can agree on mistrusting social media criticisms of platform bias have come from both political parties these people are all democrats it's totally biased toward democrats if i announce tomorrow that i'm going to become a nice liberal democrat i would pick up 5 times more follow the american people know that the president has no qualms about lying to them that it is a shame to sit with the sources of news for millions do the same new elections are

on america's doorstep and both parties are competing for the all encompassing control over information that social media provides the sad part is that whoever wins it seems like someone's freedom of speech will be going out the window we discussed the issue with jena louden a conservative media personality she feels the government needs to step in against twitter and protect fundamental rights. our basic rights as americans can't be taken and our basic rights are enumerated in our bill of rights which includes our 1st amendment rights of free speech and so when our 1st amendment right to free speech as a numerated in the bill of rights was being trampled by the platform then. it is the responsibility of our government to step in and sure about and that is what has been trying to executives order was doing the stepping in to assure that the american people's rights of free speech was not being trampled and so i believe

that's the danger and the spirit in which the executive order was exacted you know the interesting thing is even joe biden agrees even democrats agree in many cases that they believe they've been discriminated against in certain instances on some of these platforms so it's one of these things that's actually kind of a bipartisan issue this isn't really just donald trump that thinks that these platforms are biased there are many other other people on the other side of the aisle that think that these platforms do a disservice to beijing is threatening a retaliatory measures against the u.s. if washington doesn't stop interfering in chinese internal affairs this comes as china moves to impose a new security law on hong kong in a bid to quell unrest in the territory this has prompted donald trump to revoke the region's special status. china has replaced its promise formula of one country 2 systems with one country one system therefore i am directing my

administration to begin the process of eliminating policy exemptions that give hong kong different and special treatment my announcement today will affect the full range of agreements we have with hong kong from our extradition treaty to our export controls on dual use technologies and more with few exceptions while this week protest as was shouting hong kong it's not china we are special while waking up this saturday at the face of this tough a reality that in the eyes of the u.s. companies not quite as special as it used to be because on friday president trump and now to a series of punitive measures against china including revoking such a trade privileges that hong kong has enjoyed for almost 3 decades now very few details were actually given but apparently it's an end to that preferential

treatment that has allowed the region to flourish as a business center the markets he takeaways from friday the u.s. will now deny entry to chinese nationals suspected of having ties to the military or about snooping on research being done in an american your classes and a found favorite of the trump ministration of course sanctions will be imposed on those chinese and hong kong officials that washington believes of all freedom the united states will also take this is serious steps to sanction p.r.c. and hong kong officials directly or indirectly involved in eroding hong kong's entente to me and so and just if you take a look smothering absolutely smothering hong kong's freedom. our actions will be strong our actions will be meaningful now this all comes up to china green like a clown should buy actual piece of legislation for hong kong and state the national

security law and that will ban treason terrorism any behavior that threatens national security beijing's move triggered mass protests this week and culminated in the arrest up around 300 people and states like the ones being lambasted as undermining hong kong's autonomy but while washington claims that it supports and katz about the anti china protests in hong kong these very new matches actually cause precisely the outrage hong kong not to suffer the most so they'll no longer be able to travel to these a free to the u.s. we'll 'd have the potential establish that and if companies get cold feet and say you know what it's just 2 months us in hong kong at the moment i'm going to move my office elsewhere well but if you had jobs unless the foreign investment meaning that home comes reputation of an international financial hub is in jeopardy and a final major moment in friday's speech was that the u.s. who can severing all ties with the world health organization perhaps not

a surprise considering that donald trump has consistently accused the w.h.o. of being involved in a massive cover up with china regarding the creative arts pandemic chinese officials ignored their reporting obligations to the world health organization and pressured the world health organization to mislead the world when the virus was 1st discovered by chinese authorities critics say these are all just political games trump is trying to generate new headlines and detract from his mishandling of the pandemic that has claimed over one 100000 american lives after all let's not forget 2020 is election yet donald trump wants to look decisive and strong as we inch closer to november 3rd. and popped up and shown us that trump supporters really think rally around him as an enemy whether that's crooked hillary. so having a tough stance on china might well help him in the polls and yet at the same time

he didn't want to do anything so tough for you with drawing from the u.s. trade deal that would kinda america's economic recovery and potentially jeopardize his reelection chances now whatever the reasoning this is going to be met with huge anger in beijing with many expected coolest retaliation but that not predicting that china will crack down on this one i don't think they will succeed in using any means to threaten the hong kong government because we believe what we are doing is right so you got the latest downturn in the rocky relationship between these 2 nations here a prolonged trade will spot blame game when it comes to hope at 19 and now hong kong is apparently in the middle i might well end up as collateral damage in this rivalry between us and china. earlier my colleague spoke to joseph gregory mahoney a professor of politics at the east china university who is not surprised by

trump's decision. it's part of a longstanding trend where some never misses an opportunity to hit china and in fact although this is being. framed as the end of kong in fact hokum was already being treated as part of china by the trump administration was already suffering in many respects some of the trade work so this is really not that that big of a development. it's a dramatic statement but it was expected i think at this point we really ought to understand that anything that hurts china for tom kong and anything that hurts hong kong hurts china hong kong's position over time has always been in large measure even when it was part of the u.k. with its closeness and ability to work with china even even during the mao years unfortunately china has been victim hong kong has been victimized many times over by that there are real problems that have driven local anger with the

2nd term been exploited by outside forces people who are opposed to the taiwan unification trying to ministration who wants to use this is a pressure point on china so unfortunately all of this is going to hurt hong kong. space is cool yuan musk's company space x. has launched 2 nasa astronauts into space on its own rocket now the launch had originally been scheduled for last wednesday but it was postponed due to the bad weather conditions just minutes before liftoff is the 1st time nasa has collaborated with the private sector in this way the 2 onboard astronauts are now on their way to the international space station the 1st time in 10 years that u.s. astronauts have launched from home soil since 2011 american space explorers have been hitching a lift with russian spacecraft. meanwhile as the u.s.

struggles with social unrest and the world's worst covert 1900 it's one booming oil shale industry is also in trouble 2 big names in the field have already filed for bankruptcy over the past 2 months with over a dozen more reportedly preparing to do so in the near future as you can see the share prices of multiple u.s. oil drillers quoted on the new york stock exchange have been on a steep downward trajectory of late a preexisting lack of confidence on the part of investors has now been compounded by a major slump in oil consumption caused by the pandemic and it's not only the oil industry in the u.s. that is bearing the brunt as many other sectors are also under pressure due to the lockdown measures this has led to a dramatic spike in the number of jobless americans over the past 2 months with the number of those filing for unemployment benefits reaching levels unheard of since the great depression earlier my colleague mickey aaron spoke to our tease max kaiser who is

a former stockbroker and co-founder of the hollywood stock exchange. for the shell industry it's an existential threat for the reasons that we've talked about before the industry is too highly leveraged and stacked the industry the shale industry was never ever going to see a profit the amount of cash that goes in was always going to be more than the amount of cash you can get out it's been cash flow negative from the beginning it's basically an industry supported by the junk bond market and the junk bond market is supported by the federal reserve in money printing and nice demands from various sources put the number of americans employed directly or indirectly in the shell industry to have a 10000000 people going to end up on the dole to. right unemployment in america is doing higher and not just the sick shale industry but it's across the board almost every industry is getting impacted by the revelation by the market

suddenly that america's got too much debt you know american the american economy for the past 2025 years says been pumped up with artificially cheap rates money printing and faulty or fake accounting even a big bank like bank of america recently put out a report citing the federal reserve bank in washington d.c. as engaging in market fakery they're like they're accusing the head of faking markets faking prices the fed is buying junk bonds they actually bought up a security that has the ticker symbol j and k. it stands for junk bond and they they're buying these by the billions hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars so the way i kind of describe this nicky is that this is part 2 of the 2008 financial crisis so in 2008 the global financial crisis hit and instead of reforming the system so that we wouldn't have a repeat of all the the american policymakers did was give central banks and wall

street banks a bigger line of credit to do the exact same thing but much bigger and of course the results quite predictable are a much worse crisis and the administration to its credit may have to raise unemployment benefits but be a package would be extended posture line 31st now is it realistically possible to ensure within the coming 2 months that most of those who have lost their jobs will find new ones. now but here's where here's the remarkable thing that is that when these benefits that have been pumped into america's working class hit the fact accounts it suddenly was determined and this is borne out by the statistics that american incomes have gone up dramatically recently based on this injection of funds from the government that shows conclusively that before these subsidy checks that were sent out to americans being unemployed that

americans by and large are living on subsistence wages america is a nation of subsistence wages and you know the subsistence wages are just one step above slave wages you know i joke that all this money printing requires a lot more dollars and dollars are made of cotton so america to feed the money printers may return to an agricultural cotton producing country you know get down there pick some cotton so that the central bank interest money printer go borough. hundreds of french medics took to the streets of paris on thursday they are angry about low salaries and hospital staff shortages. doctors and nurses marched while ringing bells they held up placards denouncing their working conditions which they say were bad already but have only gotten worse during a pandemic the government has agreed to engage in talks with the sector and the

medics want to make sure that their grievances are heard. in this crisis situation was badly managed badly and to separate it has been the shortage of mosques and i grew up wholly jell i work with the mosques and the launch public hospital where it's. just as if we had had enough resuscitation bats we wouldn't have been obliged to transform the recovery rooms in an emergency the operating theatres with voluntary stuff that didn't have the qualification as we wouldn't have improvised that resuscitation nurse overnight well there would have been fewer deaths they have these deaths on their conscience . i'm going to tell you these that were already protesting before call vote and it is important to continue. because it exposed certain things this new health plan that was announced last monday didn't convene for we haven't seen anything concrete yet what will not be can be instituted medals and promises we are expecting

something strong. kristoff put home the spokesperson for the french association of emergency doctors elaborates on why there is so much discontent in the sector. we are extremely unhappy with the way the government is responding to our demands when it comes to saving the automotive industry the government is willing to announce concrete figures at the moment we have only vague promises without any numbers when we ask about salary increases the amount of funding should be specified but there are no concrete proposals for the government yet despite the fact that for a year now we've been demanding very simple things we are asking for additional stuff and we've calculated the number we need as well as a net pay rise of $300.00 euros for all our health care system is in bad shape and we are well aware of it however the prime minister himself says that the controversial my health 2022 law is a good law and that today the task is not to change it but to speed up its

implementation speeding up its implementation means closing down it transforming $300.00 local hospitals there will be no paternity or surgical board in these hospitals this is not at all what we want. back in 2 minutes with another look you are watching our international. match geysers financial survival guide stacey let's learn about philo let's say i'm the troika and your thesis on greece comes back from the fight well street spot thank you for taking. the story that's right. slavery.
