putin said the new date for the referendum on amending russia's constitution which of allow him to stay in power once his term ends it will take place in less than 30 days. good morning russia tuesday the 2nd of june 2020 live from artie's will use h.q. in moscow with no one here than to take you through the headlines in more detail and 1st the big story in from the united states is more of it to come morning the united states worst race riots since the 1960 s. the big as with the nation gripped by violent protests for 7 days straight now over the death of george floyd at the hands of the police at least 40 cities have imposed curfews with a national guard activated in at least 23 states as well as washington d.c. .

so let's round up the situation as it stands now the mayor of new york has extended a citywide curfew as more looting erupted in midtown manhattan thousands of a straw forces were sent to areas where they were particularly bad since the damage to property the governor of new york says meantime violent protesters obscure the righteousness of the message. to it. over washington protestors at a peaceful rally initially were forced off the streets with tear gas and stun grenades just minutes before president trump was due to speak from the white house he went on to warn that if the unrest continues he'll do whatever it takes to stop the chaos. in recent days our nation has been gripped by professional

anarchies violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tea for and others today i have strongly recommend it to every governor to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them trams words haven't gone down well with several governors then who condemned his remarks as inflammatory and dangerous to america's foreign friends that was there for us just before the protesters were moved on. before there was hundreds around this afternoon now there are at least thousands here in front of the white house i want to talk about the people that are here in front of me right now we have a lot of young old black white browed all together standing in unity saying that they want a peaceful protests now trump is calling on state and local leaders to crack down

on these and get tougher on protesters actually unloading on governors earlier today calling them quote weak now. has called in the entire d.c. national guard which is made up of about 700 soldiers to help control these protests metro police arrested 18 people ranging from 18 to 34 years old in there also putting pictures out on social media with images of people caught on security footage asking for the public's help in identifying them now today president met with attorney general bill barr who actually took a step outside on the grounds here in between all of the natural police the park police and the d.c. national guard to take a look at what was going on with the protesters he's also the one that's fast tracking the investigation into george floyd now ivan you're with protesters all afternoon i will say they have been wanting to remain very peaceful there was a couple skirmishes between a couple protesters going over that barricade and some police actually bring them down telling them they had to say behind that barricade now taking a look behind me i want you to see there is those these different lines if you can

see through these protesters where you're going to have line of d.c. police but now the national guard and the military police are actually on that front line now if far from the veteran u.s. news one r t o's larry king told us the current political leadership is failing the situation . i'm so saddened overall this because as a nation we seem to have progress and then we take a step back it amazes me the civil wars is over yet we're still racism in america is so sad and what we need now is a leader to lead us down trump has no empathy and you've got to have empathy at this time so we need a leader to take us forward without that and the sadness of what you see on the screen in washington blames the governors and it's all blame kicking around is just

so damn sad. a private post-mortem examination arranged by george floyd's family found that he died from a sick ca sion as a result of compression to the neck that's in contradiction to the preliminary findings which claimed preexisting medical medical conditions as the cause of death a missionary the autopsy also ruled that george floyd's death was homicide while noting that he was intoxicated at the time and he had heart disease the video of floyd pleading with the officer kneeling on his neck that he couldn't breathe there's no been shed countless times and left many americans angry and in anguish that the sight of the lethal arrest george's brother appealed for protesters to remain peaceful. i'm proud of. the frame. of our stuff. and it did but never never i don't know because it's not just cover up for america

the oh. oh. plus another. this is new in some of the latest incidents to emerge on video to show you protesters beating a man who was willing machete in dallas in texas it's claimed he was trying to protect the name. the hood from luke has a vote say he was hospitalized but as a stable condition meantime troubling scenes from new york at the weekend. the police department vehicle was filmed driving into a group on saturday after a standoff with protesters at a separate video showing an officer pointing his gun at protesters after a colleague was assaulted new york city police say but 6 incidents are being investigated by the department right now in contrast to the clashes nothing you've seen there and in efforts to try to build bridges some police offices in some

cities have been seeing symbolically nailing to in solidarity with those protest is . c 000000000000000000000. 000. 0. 000-000-0000 extension 000 if the police are going to kneel with protest going to. embrace and to protest as they were desk good because the police are human too the solution is in building a relationship with each other in it also seeing the human factor that does that also exist and it is a part of deceit quaid i served as a police officer myself for 24 years here in washington d.c.

and i witnessed police brutality by some of the people that i worked with there were several cases that i was involved in because i reported police officers for all this misconduct holders reach out it's about time that we have some i would say several into bichon in it because it just makes sense that there should be some federal standards associated with police behavior in our cities and then the community. yes is all kicked off so quickly as it just days ago america's streets were kind of empty but the easing of the pandemic lockdowns on the visceral anger of a police brutality change that almost overnight several health officials and state leaders and now concerned that swelling public gatherings are going to risk another spread the coronavirus the u.s. is already by far the worst affected nation as well over 100000 deaths of americans chris hedges next than the says the pandemic has only worsened america's existing

poverty and racial divide. because of the. systematic forms of racism and oppression said have squeezed and put tremendous stress on the lives of the poor the working or in particular those people trapped in what malcolm x. called our internal colonies half the country lives in poverty or a category called near poverty there the poor are priced out of the health care system the public schools don't function they don't have adequate food we have we had rampant food insecurity before the endemic clean water constant fictions of the largest prison system in the world privatized utilities that can be shut off lack of employment crippling debt it is and of course the pandemic i has exacerbated all of this or people of color dying it disproportionately higher rates and they get

that messed so the message is they don't count. we have more reaction to donald trump's threat to send in the military to quell the nationwide protests what is called short swift from some world leaders who had previously condemned for being tough on violence in their own countries more senior correspondent more ghastly of . human rights human lives see movies cheap nowadays look at what's happening we have police brutality systemic racism inequality riots on top of mass protests on top of an economic crisis on top of a pandemic. brights pale in comparison and that isn't me saying so we can all see it. but the. law.

the. law in atlanta. the people that died even killing if the court agrees hundreds have been hurt entire streets looted and torched the structure rage and anger of them on both sides that's hate all something that's going to disappear in a week 4000 people have been arrested in just days and you know what it's not enough trump wants to make an example you've got to arrest people you have to track people you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you'll never see this stuff again you have to dominate or you look like a bunch of jerks the 1st amendment of the us constitution guarantees people's

rights to peaceful protests to freedom of speech and to the right of the press to do its thing here's what the police think of that pain bulls and rubber bullets a literal slap to the face with little concern that they're shooting at a journalist to a peaceful protest this field at that time and time again but let's be frank police under the huge pressure rises mean goal with the protesters looting and burning and egging everyone else on that they must be dealt with but like these. no where's the condemnation we want to see the discoloration of all of those tensions in america come together that all the journalists so much as trip suvir in china for example and rights groups get an aneurism you have to check for yourself their websites human rights watch for example little to nothing mentioned a vicious protests ken roth the director of h.r. w.

is doing his absolute best to ignore what's happening in america tweeting instead about hong kong and china the irony is overwhelming just weeks ago washington was preaching to everyone about how sacred protests hot the united states is gravely concerned by the deepening political unrest and violence in hong kong including the standoff between protesters and police free iterate or warning about any decision by remnant elements of the mature regime to use violence to repress press the peaceful democratic transition the iranian people are once again on the streets because of the regime's poor economic management. and instead of it dressing their grievances tehran has responded with violence and by blaming those outside of the country naturally those usually on the receiving end of american lectures have not passed this opportunity to sleep america off proverbially speaking china tweeting the snooping of the protests in america i can't breathe and others joining in on

this chorus of counter condemnation to the american people. their walled has got hurt your outcry. or what is the it operation there was standing. america this year is purse strings violence and bullying at home and abroad. why does the us going fight hunger rioters as heroes and warriors while calling those us people who protest against racism right since the us blames restraint and civilized law enforcement while threatening to shoot protestors and mobilizing national security should you ask us practice our world famous double standard what they don't get is that america is exceptional if said it plenty of times the congressmen the officials the president most americans thought that included then it never did it's the state that's exceptional those in power the

police the military they're exceptional the american people now have them you would just like everybody else. exactly 60 minutes past the morning if you're watching this is a international coming up the killing of an unarmed disabled palestinian man by police in jerusalem the same locals talk comparisons now with george floyd's death his family talk to us they tell us what happened. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

why. well here are the bullet points. for those of you keeping score. cities are on fire. 40000000 unemployed. in america. g.d.p. to climb by 50 percent in the 2nd quarter. the velocity of money is dead. small businesses are dead. and jay powell said chairman says this is fine this is fine this is fun find.

some news from here next with the health crisis leveling off and russian president putin said new date for the referendum on changes to the constitution nationwide votes no shadow of them for the 1st of july if approved the changes will allow president putin to remain in power for his current term is over has got across small detail it. morning i see it so different times now of course how is this all going to be organized this vote at a time when coronavirus is still going to be around even then. well we know that of course as a result of coronavirus numerous event some political issues have to be put on the back but now here in russia 2 major events were postponed the 1st being the famous victory day parade that for the 1st time in 25 years didn't take place on the 9th of may the 2nd being the referendum on changes to the constitution and that was initially set to take place on the 22nd of april but as covert 900 gripped the

country it was indefinitely delayed however on monday at a press conference president putin announced the nationwide vote will be going ahead on the 1st of july so let's listen to exactly why but date was chosen. the 1st of july looks like the right day for holding the russian constitutional referendum 1st of all from a legal angle this date is perfect if we announce today that voting will take place in exactly 30 days it will give people an opportunity to go back to the proposed amendments once again and to determine their attitude towards them secondly is the situation with the corona virus infections improves in the fight against the epidemic there is an opportunity in the next 30 days to take extra steps to upgrade the situation so clearly with the russian health ministry having determined that the situation has stabilized within the country they feel confident to move ahead now this of course has been in the works for a while now back in january we saw

a major shake up in russian politics including the appointment of a new prime minister and it was back then the lodgment putin proposed essentially a constitutional overhaul and since then the changes put forward have been approved by both houses in parliament meaning that now it just needs to go for a final say to the people so let's take a quick look at what exactly what amendments the russian people will be voting on come july 1st.

so a clear theme is the post of president being reconstructed and in many ways restricted to as numerous responsibilities are shifted to parliament the amendments also propose that officials be banned from owning foreign citizenship and indeed by bank accounts abroad now what direction do we expect the vote to swing and while a recent poll found that 61 percent of those also will vote in favor of the changes so that sort of gives you an idea now of course 2020 wouldn't be 2020 without a few social distancing measures so for the referendum to be conducted safely which is the priority the head of the electoral committee outlined a few adjustments in order to prevent the masses from flocking to polling stations . a film that i was going to say happens to the best of us they will set up summer ball that calls also outdoor polling locations will be set up also we

might see that some regions will be able to vote online whereas other in other regions they might be able to vote from home as well as for the polling stations themselves while they'll be a maximum of 8 people who will be allowed to post the ballots. and that will also be disposable one time use pans as well. as temperatures can't as well course on top of the ungloved dress code that we've all grown accustomed to so it is definitely going to look a bit different different but for sure it's a sign that things are normalizing that the country is moving on from cope at 19 and the health crisis in getting back to other business. to a crack in job was it was monday or tuesday so. thank you. now. on sunday for the funeral of a disabled palestinian man who'd been killed by israeli police died on saturday in

jerusalem well on this way to a special needs facility israeli police suspected of carrying a weapon they say of 3 failed to obey orders to stop they opened fire it was later confirmed that it was an armed his family had been describing how the tragedy unfolded. he was just a peaceful boy who was heading to school for students with special needs he always took the same route for the last 6 years and his teacher previously introduced him to the officers of the police station nearby so they knew him they saw him passing by all these years and their surveillance cameras were seeing him every day to the soonest that policeman brought my son to the school gate he killed the boy he got scared he was kneeling for the policeman and his teacher was also standing beside him trying to explain that the boy had disabilities and that he had an id card to prove it but they pushed his teacher away and then killed my son shot him multiple times while he was kneeling is then that they have forced

a yes they dare to tell me my son had a gun my son was afraid of the needle would keep carrying a gun he didn't even know the days of the week or the dates although simple things he just couldn't understand how can you call such a person a criminal or terrorist he was disabled and he should have had more protection than every rich person and yet he was executed in cold blood while the news that he went to a special school which also was an international facility. around 200 people gathered near jerusalem's police headquarters on sunday to protest years killing comparing it with the death of george floyd in the us and carrying banners with slogans saying palestinian lives matter the killing was denounced by palestinian leaders as a war crime calling prime minister netanyahu responsible for the execution of a young disabled man the israeli defense minister has since apologized for the deadly shooting. on one must be. the incident in which you had halleck was shocked to be sharing the family's grief but i'm confident this subject will be

investigated swiftly and conclusions will be reached. there's been similar deaths in recent months to a palestinian teenager was killed in may during an army raid on a refugee camp official stressed at the time that the soldiers were being attacked with rocks and in february another teenager was killed in clashes with israeli forces which accused him of throwing petrol bombs now irda halleck's family told us that as far as their case is concerned the police violated all laws. on saturday my cousin called me she was crying and she told me that i thought this cute yard had beaten their father and arrested their mother and she was asking for help i couldn't understand what was going on because i couldn't imagine for 2nd that yard could do anything wrong he never talked to strangers or even to his relatives as he was afraid of the most simple things i went to the house with my father and uncles and we found the police had smashed everything that 7 he would

have been outside if we can rack have a can our house they beat all of us including my daughters one of the soldiers haven't spoken of all the way to my girl says by what right did they do that now even if they don't your whole himself comes and apologizes to us i want to accept it and one who know nothing more than that soldier to spend the rest of his life in prison sentence my son to death and i want him to feel the same. no covert or not yet into the post pandemic hear about spain is already got other big problems of merging lengthy queues for food bags the economic turn to downturn caused by the coronaviruses hit spain's poorest but also families who've been managing to make a living only just a few months ago now off to wait in line for the red cross food parcels they described as spain's new poor make up a cross-section of society too for many the situation is now desperate. the crisis affected us a lot because i can't get a job i can't work i was infected by couvade i was host put allies my wife also got

cold i have to wait 3 or 4 hours to get the food i don't get any help from the government they took a lot but they do very little thank god we have overcome it with the help we've been given and we've been able to get ahead we get the basics oil rice lentils and fruit. we're getting help the most important things are diapers and milk for my baby because i have a 10 month old baby and i have an 11 year old son. before the pandemic struck spain was a ready grappling with high unemployment running at around 14 percent it was already among the worst in the eurozone jobless claims surged 560-0000 jury march in april a 1000000 fewer job contracts have been signed then compared to a year ago shocking to hear is now a welfare payments it's in the records too but one spanish residents' association spokesperson told us that even in that right now families feel ashamed to seek help

iraqi ambassador will meet with the and that's why 1400 families here now we're trying to arrange it so that they can get basic food in smaller groups in the price of the neighborhood a discectomy also we don't have all 1400 in a very generous at the same time they're assuming people who don't adhere to join up with. restraint it's very very hard to say how many people don't have food right now but it's a lot like when. hope it'll pick up so now you're doing ok this morning too that's the way some of the world's top headlines are shaping up this choose the 2nd of june reporting from moscow is kevin how in course you can count on our channel at international to be there for you online on social media and on t.v. sort of things where business tutors around the world as the day progresses throughout all this for another for may thank you for watching and have a great day.
