pages it considers to be state controlled media including r.t.c. . which get. your churning in from across the world this hour welcome to our international unit with this news our pleasure of your company. let's kick off in the united states no other story developing on the back of the george floyd killing protests 2 new york police officers have pleaded not guilty to assault charges they were filmed aggressively pushing an elderly protester who sustained a head injury both officers being released with. the footage all the instant helps any.

yes you know also says in full riot gear were enforcing a curfew when it happened there earlier an entire crowd control orderly resigned from tactical after the 2. charged officers were suspended without pay the police department's version of offense 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 states represented that o'mara has joined a growing calls to disband the minneapolis police force she argues that it is beyond reform and is back in calls 'd from certain regional politicians proposing that the police department be dissolved in all the city council there is no need to ban the use of chokeholds by officers new rules also require police to reports intervene when they see colleagues using what to write r

t america host rick sanchez explains why the reforms might. 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 their 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 are 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 them but if you were to turn on c.n.n. or m.s.n. b.c. or 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 joe cole 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. on major demonstrations over the death of george floyd are being tipped to reach record numbers this weekend in the u.s. in several cities including new york and here in washington d.c. life pictures by the way from the capitol

a lot of protesters there already gathered just after 10 past 2 in the afternoon right now police have warned not to protest this subject could prove to be the largest ever seen in the capital there certainly lloyd at the moment aren't they the country's biggest race rallies in half a century show little sign of abating but the riots rage have now largely turned into more peaceful calls for justice and reform. all across the corporate world major firms major brands have rushed to show that they're on the protester side in the call for justice reform flooding their social media for instance with images of solidarity messages but the sincerity of the biggest retailer of all is in question it's accused of playing both sides. keeping a quick simple and brutal treatment of black people in our country must stop together

we stand in solidarity with the black community our employees customers and partners in the fight against systemic racism and injustice. this is amazon that's currently selling this kind of technology to law enforcement right now currently selling this technology to the f.b.i. . the fools that she is but this proportionately of people of color including 6 members of the congressional black caucus among them civil rights legend refuse him says john lewis.

and i was amazed how many cameras were just in our neighborhood. as police officers we cannot be everywhere so our citizens neighbors. are raising. their voice individually more than 100 pews estimated they have between. poor people of color to stop the racism on the range social network. amazons ring neighbors is complicit in the system of racism and injustice didn't you were ringing doorbells paris in. so to the police the main organization being wild against for their races deeds right now. as most

companies in this country operate amazon puts short term profits over justice you know they would rather sell the. racists tax policies in these races technologies. to police departments which overwhelmingly have mis identified even members of the congressional black caucus and those who have been arrested before we've never really seen any true sure signs of solidarity and we've never seen you know them putting their money where their mouth is you know we see in the face of large public pressure we see a lot of company is sending out statements in order to kind of keep the flames that and keep customers happy meanwhile they don't really show any actual solidarity and truthfully i don't think any of the messages actually does sear. well to the fresh

protests and marches around the world this weekend in what is arguably proving to be the biggest flare up of global support for the blocked lives matter movement since its inception iran 7 years ago driven of course by the killing of george floyd massive rallies taking place in big cities including london where thousands have joined on to racism demonstrations with some clashes being reported. well i am here in the heart of central london where thousands of protesters are gathering here today in solidarity with george croyde of course an unarmed black man who died at the hands of police in police custody nearly 2 weeks ago in the united states inside that there's been a whole new ways of life massive protests that are up to worldwide and here in

central london is absolutely no different we're seeing some huge huge numbers coming out today they come so to say the metropolitan police officer has warned that notch 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 now london is here argue the police brutality is not just an issue in america but it's also an issue here in britain that if they feel like a number of reasons for george floyd because the injustice that happened to him but also because of the injustice that's been happening in the united states before i can even remember it's not just that like battle lies anyone who is 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 killed by police anyway now just a few days ago in central london that the demonstrators descended into level chaos but they were met by quite a heavy police presence i myself witnessed numerous those throughout the evening as the protest went on from hour to hour to hour and. now yes you can see directly behind me they again are taking any. savvy. and making it. down to me tonight is. that a person that they can cross out on a visit that thousands of people have gathered here in alex on the plots in the sense 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 setting up the 1st time even this week on friday big demonstrations of large scale

gatherings took place in frankfurt and if. what has been worth noting is how peaceful all of these of the the demonstration in hamburg on friday evening was dispersed by police but that was said to be to the numbers that it gathered in breach of social distancing rules that are in place because of the rhone of virus the signs that we've seen 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 in fact i spoke to some of those who've come out to explain why they felt they needed to have they have voiced to the crowd 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 why 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 mall people of color get a voice and they get a stronger voice and we should all join that. well at a political level has also been a response here in germany. so i'm going to medical described the killing of george floyd as horrible while admitting that there is racism in germany as well the foreign minister of germany heiko moss 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 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 mattering 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. in her own version xing off report well there's been plenty police brutality unrest in mexico where an officer was set on fire by protesters on thursday do be aware please that we're about to show you graphic video of the instant what happened was the officer was approached from behind during efforts to contain the increasingly agitated police crowd. # it took place during protests in one of mexico's largest cities some demonstrators tried to break into the historic government policies while others set cars on fire riot officers used. tear gas to try and disperse the crowd centers on

the death of a modern police custody there last month video of his violent arrest was spread widely on law. only lopez was detained by mexican police in early may he was stopped for allegedly not wearing a mask in public the authorities say his arrest was done to aggress of behavior the 30 year old later died due to a head injury the authorities have pledged to for investigation 3 police officers have been arrested. staying in the country the disturbances coincided with solidarity rallies over the death all of george lloyd as the u.s. embassy in mexico city saw protesters damage the fortified fence some even tried to climb over and get in to the base mexican journalists turly or was at the compound . so as you

can see the u.s. embassy east just. the she's the last there mexican authorities seized up last night to protect the embassy. and to police to mexican police who was deployed there it's a yes or it's wheeze gas and shooting shooting the protestors wiese least good shabbos you know that was recently spent i had been shot at least that still ahead on the program you'd think everyone would know about the house because micro virus but imagine only finding a budget now we need a month on a journey of discovery after emerging from a coma only to find a world in locked up.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by fun person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask. we go to work so. street home.

hello again facebook is starting to turn certain users pages to clearly highlight 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 a day as to who or who doesn't get flagged as our senior correspondent steve explains. a new day a new facebook scandal they start it isn't about them selling out their users or allowing opposition activists to be tracked to establishing another censorship well it kind of actually is the start 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's 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 u.s. government tells that the 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 the 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 there 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. 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 the 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 katha 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 just a note on the story the head of party's website says he will appeal facebook's move we have contacted the tech giant as well for an explanation or response at least if we hear back we'll let you know what they say independent journalist julian oriya in the meantime believes 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 an 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 are 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 us. african our human rights campaigners have turned out in the nigerian capital to protest sexual violence after a wave of high profile rape cases more than 200 marched around and the police headquarters in a calling for better protection for women campaigners say it's difficult to secure a conviction for rape. the victims are often they have launched an online movement called we are tired trending on twitter on line petition is.

one survivor destroyed just how terrifying the risks are. this is not high noon is a nod from the community we started this protest to show our displeasure to police headquarters during the 6 or 7 years only without being raped and way and. the moment was censored in the nauruans they returned to us crying with blood on their private parts. some days ago i was raped by armed robbers because i don't have money to give them they will write me yesterday the data protection officer that action will be taken but when i heard about this protest i was happy to join so that the government can hear us we are calling on the government to cry on help us . well according to the official data it is opening more than $2000001.00 theory and women and girls are raped every year and up to

a 3rd are under the age of 25 last year the government launched a register of sex offenders but victims say it's not enough and police action is all sort of playing. we live in a country that doesn't protect women a country that disregards women joined the protest lend your voices and platforms we went everywhere are tired we're tired of getting raped and killed we're tired of all rapists and killers roaming free my one year old niece god daughter speaking for us stop raping kids stop raping nice place in nigeria how upset they are trying to tackle the problem drafting an extra investigators to track down offenders and prevent sexual violence activists though say a root and branch reform is needed throughout the system. every nigerian to account for every letter in nigeria to the truth that with dignity and respect when if i try to serve the people and i do have to do it because they're human beings i don't care where you are right here it must. be that we came up that you might be put up

a map that turned up then that is the fastest construct i think where you had to say enough is enough. evidence of a different part of this country this is on because i am on to on and you know through a straw poll let's also try to do score do you think is the score that is defining last this is a record. 30 do physics course that is condom i mean our humanity it is unfortunate that it would have to be denuded. time when we should be talking about issues of health. and finally the covert pandemic is plot telling here in russia but imagine only just finding out there's been a health crisis at all a brain surgery patient in moscow who's woken from a lengthy coma is only know discovering that the world right now must change so drastically.

after i've been released from intensive care i learned from t.v. about coronavirus the restrictions and lockdown that everyone wears mosques and clubs of course it looks strange to me. after the patient will cop he had many questions we didn't know how to answer he was aware about corona virus 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. so how do you know that since the depression had pneumonia and when his body

temperature rose and the other classic symptoms evolved we suspected that and 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 much here life and bless god for this. when our friends or people online seeds hard just stayed home we can understand them so there was 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. there what's what choice do we have we have to

move on. and that is where we leave your news update for now the newsroom just off camera is busy putting together all the updates affecting your world today i'll bring them to you at the top of the hour hope you'll join me. welcome to maximize your financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain don't let this happen to you watch kaiser report. i know to no crowd. no shots no. action to help speed up. when the well is dry

no arrests one. point should your thirst for action. america was never great was founded on the rapes and murders. nothing changed so we said all responses so these situations that we deal with. people get shot every elvis day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. still is just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country.
