8:07 am
a right to protest some of these state restrictions may be too severe and as more and more states go online and get their rights back that is going to fuel i believe other states to go so we have one set of protesters good to go but black lives matter and justice for george floyd public health experts now fear massive protests could spark new coronavirus outbreaks governor larry hogan of maryland warning that because of the recent protests we could see a 2nd wave of the corona virus when you look at the pictures and consider there is virtually no social distancing and very few people are wearing masks add to that smoke from fires and tear gas which makes people cough and you've got a deadly recipe there for possible new infections blink for a 2nd and the narrative changes media medics it doesn't matter everything has flipped the anti-lock down camp is now calling everyone indoors and the importance of social distancing has now become the time for many to stand together. here in new york state an entire police crowd control units reportedly quit after 2

officers to report intervene when they see the unauthorized use of force by colleagues america host rick sanchez explains why the reforms might still not be enough. in a case like this i don't want my police department to be privatized i don't like what's happening with the prisons since they have been privatized so i think it's essential to keep the police as a form of our government i also think it's important for us to realize that police officers can't do everything i've been watching videos on you tube yesterday i saw a life where they call the cops because the guy was fouled during a basketball game there are videos of schools teachers they can't handle the student he's unruly they call the police these are not police functions we're over policing the solution is to look for ok let's let's start with the core of the problem is crime right we have too much crime in america we really don't the numbers are way down as a matter of fact so the numbers of crime are way down but the number of hiring of
8:10 am
police officers is way up ok so if we say we want to be able to attack whatever nefariousness in our society we want people to be better we want to create better citizens. we want to create non-criminals you start at the beginning you don't start out on the back him but if you were to turn on c.n.n. or of us and we see a fox news right now they would tell everything to the george floyd incident without looking outside of that the danger with that is that we will then think that oh they just passed a new policy that says you're no longer allowed to use that chokehold ok everything is solved no everything is not solved because the underlying problems are that's still an underlying problem and until we attack that route we're essentially going to continue to have these situations. rick sanchez the around the world the next i'm fresh marches this weekend is what we're talking about it was arguably proving to be the biggest flare up of global support for the black lives matter movement since its inception nearly 7 years ago dream today of course by the killing of george floyd. now then these pictures just in from australia which is
8:11 am
a long struggle with its own deep rooted racial division with the regional community still grappling with inequality to this day they do with discrimination and mistreatment but the show a feeling this is a look at the mass of people thousands turning out with similar rallies in key cities nationwide most passing without incident but there were 3 arrests we can tell you in the evening one disturbance in sydney which saw police used pepper spray. was happening in europe the correspondents in a rainy london. peter all over in berlin paid to show that you 1st if there are rallies planned in several big cities in the u.k. are there today. yes absolutely and i'm here in the heart of central london in westminster in parliament scariest thousands are gathering here today in solidarity with george roy i know that man as you say it was pinned down by a police officer and subsequently died after 8 minutes now here in central baghdad
8:12 am
we're pretty getting quite a fight there as you can see there are around a 1000 if not more people that have gathered here today holding up banners from black lives all the way to no justice no peace and of course i can't read the very last words of george floyd before he died now of course it is a peaceful scene here today we are seeing many people take the streets despite it being a very. rainy saturday it's also because needless to say the height of the lockdown period of course we are supposed to be applied by social distancing measures and the government's official line is this need to stay at home but the metropolitan police officer is saying even things like this a large gap. the size is on the wall for the health secretary speaking out it today saying to protest is urging them to stay out. like so many i'm appalled by the death of george floyd but we're still facing
8:13 am
a health crisis so please for the safety of your loved ones. including demonstrations more than 6 people. to this day i'll give the police brutality is not just an american 6 issue but an issue here right here in the united kingdom of course statistics show that the metropolitan police are 4 times more likely to be exacting excessive force on london's b.m.a. community than their white counterparts and of course in recent years this consciousness of george boyd we've also seen it in recent years across the united kingdom mark duggan short break several read just to name a very few and that's why protesters are really head today now some today's demonstration here today is not the 1st it's actually one of just many across the entire week we've seen numerous actions from marches united states and the citizens united and to be seen quite powerful images at trafalgar square where pride
8:14 am
protesters took a nice minutes again symbolizing the amount of time that it took for george flocka floyd died on to the police officers need so today a peaceful scenes but last wednesday i was here in parliament square and after a few hours of peaceful demonstrations it was soon met with a huge police presence whereby there was numerous scuffles and almost a cat and mouse chase throughout the streets of westminster so hopefully it won't descendants are seeing this later on today but it is indeed a very rainy rainy day here in central london but it hasn't stopped the protesters coming out today. in london thanks so maybe you should go to peta 1st because while you were talking we lost the. him in germany but we'll come back to a minute later if anything kicks off keep us posted. all right it's coming up to quarter past 3 in the afternoon moscow time plenty more ahead hope you won't lose this is well then you'd think everyone would know about the how of

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks . we dare to ask. why game human rights campaign is it turned out in the nigerian capital to protest sexual violence suffer a wave of high profile rape cases more than 200 marched around the police headquarters in a budget calling for better protection for women company to say it's difficult
8:17 am
really difficult to secure a conviction for rape in nigeria and the victims are often claimed they've launched an online movement called. trending on local let twitter and an online petitions got thousands of signatures one survivor describes just how terrifying the risks are for my jewelry and women. this is not my moon is enough from the last you know coming in who started this protest to show all displeasure to the police had one target. children the 6 or 7 here zones are being raped and we employ about it the moment we sound children an hour and they return to us crying we live in their crowded hearts. some days ago i was raised by armed to rather risk that because i don't have money to give them they will raise me yesterday the data protection i have say sure does that actually never take up but when i heard of all of this protest i was happy to join the government can hear a said that we are counting on the government to hero cry on help price. according
8:18 am
to the official data shocking reading more than $2000000.00 nigerian women and girls are raped every year to 3rd or under the age of 25 last year the government launched a register of sex offenders but victims say those on enough they also say police inaction is to blame. we live in a country that doesn't protect women a country that disregards women joined the protest learn your voices and platforms we went everywhere are tired we're trying to getting raped and killed we're tired or repressed and killers roaming free my one year old niece god daughter speaking for us stop raping kids stop raping. the police in nigeria so they are trying to tackle the problem draft again next to investigators to track down offenders and try to prevent sexual violence activists those root and branch reform is what's needed throughout the system. every nigerian took out with me for every letter in
8:19 am
nigeria to the truth that with dignity respect we need much i think that the people in niger had to do it because they're human beings i don't care where you are right here mike murphy. that we came up that you might be put up a map that turned up then that is a 1st just construct i think we're here to serve enough is enough we have been there shouldn't of been a different part of this country this is on because our to all and you know through a straw poll it's also quite a discourse do says these courts that is defining laws this is a record that is demean our society do physics course that is condom i mean our humanity it is unfortunate that we have to be deluded. you know at a time when we should be talking about issues of. the covert pandemic is plastering here in russia at the moment but imagine only just finding out that there's even been a health crisis at all a brain surgery patient here in moscow is literally just woken up from
8:20 am
a lengthy coma is now discovering that the world around them is changed so drastically of late. after i've been released from intensive care i learned from t.v. about coronavirus the restrictions and lockdown that everyone wears mask and gloves of course it looks strange to me. after the patient woke up he had many questions we didn't know how to answer us he was aware about coronavirus when he came to hospital but by that time it hadn't hit russia that much. no one could expect that this would happen throughout the whole country. 'd
8:21 am
so you know the teacher had no money and when his body temperature rose and the other classic symptoms evolved with suspected cold it more than once were conducted tests which likely excluded the possibility of corona virus infection i knew they saved me and when i told them about the problems of my everyday life they said it doesn't matter if you're alive and bless god for this. that when our friends or people online say it's hard to stay at home we can understand that there was someone lying there without any idea if he would survive the doctors told us they saved his life and now we look the other way at all these restrictions of course he was shocked and surprised at 1st but we have to adapt to
8:22 am
this new life and get on with it. it's what choice do we have we have to move on. heading in the right direction albeit a very changed world from what you went to sleep and now talking of more fallout from covert the granting of flights and closed borders worldwide during the pandemic appears to be having an unfortunate side effect another one the lives of patients awaiting transplant surgery risk because organs can't be delivered donor registries are trying to find a workaround. from even 2 months i'm in the loop flying all the time coming and going all around the world. is amusing for transplants around the world i'm going to close my one of the places that don't allow entry to foreigners and buying counter sue problems. with these kind of delivery is part of a well established system involving public and private providers but many
8:23 am
transplant centers are having to take extraordinary measures these days some resorting to military support to organize flights and drop of points now the director of an israeli health organization offering jewish bone marrow donations says it's literally a matter of life and death that their deliveries get through on time. one day and so you can't wait we did product indefinitely if they cancel flights and there is no flight if it's us or argentina or south america it's right it will go to waste nothing will be done with it product is what's important here that peter was receiving it is important that these you know who doesn't receive all die he goes through crap that this is a racist bone marrow and he must receive didn't you bone marrow if he does that if he dies and that's why we're so stressed to reach the patients on time. in april an international team of scientists reported on the devastating effect the pandemics having on transplants worldwide saying that in just
8:24 am
a month organ donation in france is all but ceased there's been a 50 percent drop in the united states where charities say the lockdowns having a transformative impact on their work. we've also been challenges over the last couple of months in transplantation is really critical with the organ for you know that you know time matters organs can only last outside of the body for you know a certain period aren't i think the crossfire stephanie really has changed the way in which we work and rate and so yes it slowed down the mission in transplant for good 6 to 8 weeks we think some of the lessons we've learned could help us in the future no nation in transplant patient will be strengthened from what we've learned over the last. and that is the way some of the world's top stories are looking so far this saturday of the 6 of june reporting from moscow i'm kevin though in from all of us on duty this weekend thank you for watching out international and have
8:25 am
8:26 am
we are here we were dragged here. by you looking to get rid of those who will not go away you will not die quiet. real the hard work we do is the truth. diabetics tired of this is the kaiser report so much to report on so much up and so much going on in the world today america is on fire the world's on fire of the global insurrection against back iraq to personally but tell me about it for years
8:27 am
now it's happening all over the world give me your tired your poor your huddled masses yearning to breathe free the wretched refuse of your teeming shores where is that home come from selves really famous words from is from the statue of liberty at the base that your liberty was given to america as a gift by france madam liberty it is you know the united states was founded on the principles of the and white men happened in france and in scotland but i thought this image of. lady liberty of the statue of liberty in this headline that i want to turn to from the daily mail trumps has new york has been lost to thaw and low life scum after looters ransacked 5th avenue and curfew is brought forward from 11 pm to 8 pm until end of week but cuomo and of last year still refuse to call in the national guard and as you can see there some looters on the front page and we've
8:28 am
talked about the looters at the top from the very beginning the trillions and trillions of dollars being printed in the can't tell you in effect but here's lady liberty right there on the ground trinkets probably made in china sold in times square and just as quite a fitting image for the rest of the stories we have to cover max oh absolutely the poem resonates with a double entendre with deep meaning or with echoes of the past and people coming to america coming to new york coming to ellis island with dreams to breathe through it only to be stomped on and have their life choked out of them. did. happening here in america of course yearning to breathe free is very important that this isn't a part of the problem right now and america is obviously we have the racism and the state power exercise through the police force which is and literally has the knee on the you know your boot on the neck of the populace obviously black americans are
8:29 am
at the bottom of this but you know it is layers of this absence of being able to be brief 3 when you see this or that injustice built into the system where there's a certain select group of people who do have privilege of course we are supposed to be you know a nation founded by these truths that are self evident that all men are created equal that may be true but if some are given privilege that negates all they quality that we have at birth michael hudson feds 10 trillion dollars defense assets of the rich so the fed has revived the stock market downturn he's referring to the stock market booming it comes up and what it said is folks you can bail out the stock market give us your junk bonds that's sort of like the statue of liberty for wealthy people give us your stocks sell us your bonds will buy them all up in federal reserve expense and will purchase them and we'll also do our own forward
8:30 am
buying to manipulate the stock market by promising to buy our stock so the higher price in the forward market so that's going to create a speculative demand for stock so the speculative demand for stocks by federal reserve manipulation and the actual flow of funding money into the stock market from the government has been pushing it back up giving the illusion of prosperity at least for the 10 percent that's right the statue of liberty's on the floor of the new york stock exchange i'm a buyer a wire mobile i will play a little bit of all right michael hudson has pointed out the federal reserve bank is buying everything i would equate the stock market say with eggs of scam right so the temper sat on stocks in america are edge of in america and they're taking all the valuable assets with them and it's a fun. that purchase the fed is giving them trillions of dollars of free money best the way we see it that's the way it's working and that's explains the disconnect between valuations on most of the stocks in the s. and p. 500 and the fact that unemployment is skyrocketing there's riots on the street and all kinds of other things are cutting away at the by a bill.
