largely turned into more peaceful calls for justice and reform. a run 50 people were arrested after riot police surrounded marchers returning home during curfew hours in brooklyn in new york on friday night police partly 1st told the protesters that if they stayed on the sidewalk we would be allowed to pass through officers who were then seen containing the group a method known as pulling before arresting them one by one among those detained was health care workers. i love everyone to me but that if

we were going to die while we would be able. we want them to died well but they build a leg up and they locking everybody up why why why. about. and if they have that we're not looking. at it we've got to have it all to new york police officers faced a judge video conference both pleaded not guilty to assault charges now the case came a bite after they were filmed shoving an elderly protester who fell and sustained a head injury some may find the footage of the instant quite upsetting. officers in full riot gear where enforcing a curfew when it happened earlier on the entire control team reportedly was a sign from tactical after they per charge the officers were suspended with

pay the police department's version of events initially said the man tripped and fell on his own local media say the unit was disgusted at the treatment of their colleagues who they say were following instructions. minnesota state representative omar meanwhile has joined growing calls to dispell in the minneapolis police where she argues that it is beyond reform and is bucking calls from certain regional politicians proposing the police department be dissolved meanwhile the city's council there has no agree to the use of chokeholds by officers new rules also require officers to report intervene when they see colleagues using or thrice worse r t america host rick sanchez explains why the reforms might not be able. 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 where they called 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 problem the problem is crime right we have too much crime in america we really don't the numbers are way too. as a matter of fact so the numbers of crime way down but the number of hiring of 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 embassy or fox news right now they would tell you everything to the george floyd incident without looking outside of that the danger with that is that we will then think oh they just passed a new policy that says you're no longer allowed to use that joe cole oh 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 root we're essentially going to continue to have these situations speaking about the situation in the u.s. well let's move further afield to the fresh protests the marches around the world this weekend in what is arguably proving to be the biggest flare up of global support for the black mother movement since its inception iran 7 years ago driven of course by the killing of george lloyd this is bruce been in a straight country which has long struggle with its own deep rooted racial division with aboriginal community still grappling with inequality here is the show feeling this is turning out with similar rallies in key cities nationwide most passing

we're talking but there were 3 arrests in the evening a disturbance in sydney which saw police used pepper spray on the other side of the world rallies are taking place in several big cities across europe our correspondent. peter over helping updating us on developments. when i am here in the heart of central london where thousands of protesters are gathering here today in front of parity with george roy was an unarmed black man who died at the hands of police and police have seen many cute weeks ago in the united states since there's been a whole wave of black life is that the rap did well why. and here in central london is absolutely no different we're seeing some huge huge numbers coming out today starting in parliament square but now they're headed towards the united states and to see in central london it's been very much a peaceful scene throughout the day today no doubt of course we've seen some

various different charts there of the day from black sites mounted to no justice no peace and of course i can't read the very last quote of $2.00 of this comes as the united kingdom is in the height of a lockdown scenario where the position of government line is to only trouble for essential papa says protesters here today would argue that it is an absolutely essential matter why they should come out onto the streets of central london become so to see the metropolitan police officer has warned that large mass gatherings like one of this size is indeed are no full on the house secretary is urging protesters to stay at home like so many i'm appalled by the death of george floyd but we're still facing a health crisis so please for the safety of your loved ones do not attend large gatherings including demonstrations of more than 6 people now londoners here argue the police brutality is not just an issue in america but it's also an issue here in

britain the statistics show that black people are 4 times more likely to experience excessive force by the metropolitan police than their white counterparts many would argue that this is the age old question of institutional racism from discrimination all the way to racial stereotyping how was george freud being a communist today but in recent years across the u.k. we've seen various different cases mark talk and sure rick ever read just a few names just to name a few and that's why protesters are here today where the banks are like a number of reasons for george cloyd because the injustice that happened to him but also because of the injustice. it's been happening in the united states before i can even remember still just like my old life anyone who sat under the cosh this is a chance basically what's the point of saving a whole lot of people from coronavirus if they're just going to be shot if it should minorities could be shot go by police anyway this week we see

a huge amount of action from the british public out here in the week we saw scenes at parliament square which is where we all gathered today to hyde park and dave marches towards the u.s. embassy but some quite powerful scenes as well whereby protesters have taken in me at times even for 8 minutes at length and not some are called solidarity because of course that time is the amount of time that george boyd had a police officer kneeling on his neck now just a few days ago in central london and the demonstrators descended into never ok all spread they were met by a quite a heavy police presence i myself witnessed numerous goggles throughout the evening as the protests went on from hour to hour to hour and now yes you can see directly behind me they again are taking any. as you can some great power to make it. down images like this be

replicated across the crowd that we can cross not to be thought of as a battle of thousands of people have gathered here in alec's on the flats in the center of the german capital fold the black lives massive demonstration here in germany now this isn't the 1st time that we've seen demonstrations in germany certainly not the 1st time even this week on friday big demonstrations of large scale gatherings took place in frankfurt and in homburg what has been worth noting is how peaceful all of these of being the demonstration in hamburg on friday evening was dispersed by police but that was said to be due to the numbers that had gathered in breach of social distancing rules that are in place because of the coronavirus the signs that we've. sitting around saying white silence equal violence a lot of the faces here at this demonstration in berlin around germany have been white faces coming out to say that they stand with black people here in germany and europe and around the world against what they see as systematic racism against them

now what happened here earlier on was there was a 8 minute and 46 2nd silence now that was the length of time the white police officer knelt on the neck of george floyd killing him in minneapolis which ignited this movement which has swept beyond minneapolis beyond the state of minnesota the united states of america and all across the world the demonstrations are seeing here in germany of some of the largest they were seen around the world in fact i spoke to some of those who've come out here to explain why they thought they needed to add their voice to the crowd i'm here to put a sign because i think it's very important 'd to show that it's not about the races it's about the people and i would say it doesn't matter if it's in america or somewhere else in the world we need to go out and we need to show that we are all the same white people and white culture have been have dominated to slavery and colonization and imperialist this is why it's very important that white people and

that people around the world come out i think. what's changing now is legacy can see that a lot of people standing up and i think the more people stand up the more people of color get a voice and they get a stronger voice and we should all join in that. well at a political level has also been a response here in germany chancellor angela merkel described the killing of george floyd as horrible while admitting that there is racism in germany as well the foreign minister of germany heiko must went a step further if he criticized u.s. president donald trump and his decision or his wants to try and unleash the u.s. military upon his own people. democrats must never escalate matters not even through warts threats and violence only triggers further violence instead of dividing ourselves we should be shoulder to shoulder against radical extremists well as you can hear chants of black lives matter ring out here in berlin things

incredibly peaceful as people come out to express their anger their dissatisfaction at what they're seeing with gods to racism here in germany in the united states and around the world. there has been known to police brutality unrest in mexico where an officer was set on fire by protesters on thursday we were were about to show you graphic video of the incident in which the officers approached from behind during efforts to contain an increasingly agitated and police crowd. # it happened during protests in one of mexico's largest cities. some demonstrators tried to break into the historic government palace while others set cars on fire riot officers used tear gas to try and disperse the crowd and the unrest centers on the death of

a man and police custody their last video of his violent arrest will spread widely online. giovanni lopez was detained by mexican police in early may he was stopped for allegedly not wearing a mosque in public the authorities say his arrest was done to aggressive behavior the 30 year old later died due to a head injury the authorities have pledged a thorough investigation on 3 police officers being arrested. and staying in the country they disturbances coincided with solidarity rallies over the death george floyd the u.s. embassy in mexico city has seen protesters damage the fortified fence some even tried to climb over it mexican journalist. here well as the company.

so as you can see the u.s. embassy east just there. d.c. is the lot there mexican authorities did that last night to protect the embassy people soros tongs and to police the mexican police who were deployed there they insert wheeze gas and shooting shooting the protesters we's. good shabbos you know that both ways we spent i had been shot. still ahead this saturday from r t you'd think everyone would know about perfect calls by coronavirus but i mention only finding out about it now that we meet a man on a journey of discovery after emerging from a cold lonely defied a world in law. the

protests across america right now bolshevik revolution make a reference to the workers' uprising that we saw in the old imperial russia. and you've got a new imperial here in america. are canceling their and the workers something realize that wait a minute we don't want to live under a dictatorship we don't want to live under a monarchy a good old fashioned bolshevik revolution which is what's happening because. the world is driven by shaped by.

thinks. we. ask. it in minutes past the hour welcome back facebook is starting to turn certain users pages to clearly highlight who it considers to be state controlled media including r.t. it also plans to ban them from buying ads in the united states ahead of november's presidential election but there's a touch of selective ety as to who actually gets flagged our senior correspondent has been looking into. a new day a new facebook scandal they stop it isn't about them sending out they use it's oh and now we open session activists to be tracked to establishing another censorship

well actually he's the star it's about facebook deciding for you who you should trust. several months ago we announced our plans to label media outlets that are wholly or partially under the editorial control of the government and today we're starting to apply labels to those state controlled media outlets were providing greater transparency into these publishers because they combined the influence of a media organization with the strategic backing of the state and we believe people should know if the news they read is coming from a publication that may be under the influence of the government so we'll skip over the irony here of someone who is under the influence of a government which is facebook which regularly censors what the us government tells it to censor telling everyone else that you shouldn't trust those who are under the influence of the government you following and facebook takes great pride in making sure that what you read is approved by censors in the u.s.

only 53 percent of americans trust the news sources that use so we're making it easier to learn more about an article right in your facebook news feed what it has done this start is remarkable even by its standards so they go to label any news media that they believe is funded or influenced by a state as state controlled media except they're not their only labeling media that the u.s. government doesn't like r.t. for example chinese state media in what is mathematically highly improbable coincidence facebook and the u.s. government seem to have identical least of media that they don't like or perhaps the more rational explanation is that facebook just got a call from washington telling them again what to do but how do you sit there and say that russian and chinese media should be labeled but then claim that voice of

america is independent voice of america we are journalists and we believe that we promulgated american. by promulgating to basic things are important to america she just said they spread american values in a way that benefits america to largely foreigners and in same sentence that they are independent yet voice of america doesn't get the label the b.b.c. funded by taxpayers and the u.k. government accused by saddam time and time again of being essentially a mouthpiece for the government doesn't get the label agis iraq run by cattle which is essentially a family run dictatorship doesn't get the label saudi arabia its media don't get the label i think you know archie's official statement sums it up facebook is doing as it's told by its government but pretending otherwise

a us company long and bad with the us establishment telling the entire rest of the world what it can and cannot say is the definition of technological dictatorship and censorship labeling for an editorial independent news outlets is anything but isn't top of fostering prejudice and xenophobia a prime example of the very fake news that facebook is supposedly trying to combat . well ahead of our team's web site says he'll appeal facebook's move we have contacted the tech giant for an explanation and response if we hear back we let you know what is said independent journalist in the meantime told us he thinks influential companies are coming under pressure from washington. i don't think facebook or twitter want to get involved in any of this they were reluctant to do so they were heavily pressured by congress to take measures like this because the congress can't directly do this because government congress is not allowed to censor the press the private companies can so that's why they're getting them as

proxies of the u.s. government to do the censoring for them so this is absolutely a double standard it's totally political and there's a new election coming up this is clearly related to that as well they need to push narrative that far and outside it just like there are outside agitators in these protests in the u.s. right now they're outside agitators influencing the policy they don't want to take responsibility for the mess they've made of their own country the leaders of the any leader that says that they blames outsiders that could be a middle east dictator or us governor or president of the u.s. . and finally the coded pandemic is plateauing here in russia but a much an only just finding out there's been a health crisis out all brain surgery patient in moscow who's woken from a lengthy coma is only know discovering that the world around him has changed so drastically.

only 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 he was aware about coronavirus when he came to hospital but by that time it hadn't been russia that much. no one could expect that this would happen throughout the whole country. as a new present the patient had no money and when his body temperature rose and the other classic symptoms evolved we suspected cold it more than once we 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 here alive and bless god for this. when our friends or people online seeds hard just stayed home we can understand them but there are someone lying there without any idea if he would survive the doctors told us they saved his life in this regard the restrictions don't look too tough for us of course he was shocked and surprised at 1st but we have to adapt to this new life and get on with it occludes or what's what choice do we have we have to move on. very best of luck to them both just a reminder before we cross to some more great programs you can get right up to the

day. following twitter the stories just keep on rolling their. top off the hour hope you'll join me. odd. no shots. actually felt. no pain as to. which your thirst for action. you know will number one movie capital in united states we all slow number one

global insurrection against banker occupation would but tell me about it for years 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 of wrong is from the statue of liberty at the base statue of 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 might meant that 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 ended 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 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 trinket 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 but you. did what. 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 at the bottom of this but you know it is layers of this absence of being able to be brief 3 we 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 fed's 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 a wealthy people give us your stocks sell us your bonds will buy them all up and fight
