2:01 am
washington doesn't get much support from some israeli settlers and. their well can you watching out international this tuesday morning where she's gone 9 o'clock here in the russian capital george floyd whose death at the hands of police in minneapolis sparked riots in the u.s. will be buried later on tuesday 2 weeks after his killing the small private funeral will take place in his hometown of houston in texas and despite most of monday being dedicated to a vigil protests have continued to rage across america i. i. thank you brooke. protesters took to the streets of new york on the 1st day after a curfew was lifted and crags chanting george floyd's name and black lives matter
2:02 am
march through the city without any major clashes with police for the nationwide protests are expected today meanwhile around 6000 mourners filed past george floyd's coffin is hometown of houston the final stop after a series of memorials were held in his owner but the fallout from his death has provoked claims politicians are trying to win political points democrats knelt for a moment of silence in congress while presidential candidate joe biden had promised to attend the funeral although that plan was later abandoned but there are other examples too which have led to claims of the killing being politicized. anger and sadness that has been ingrained in our black community not just because of 5 minutes of horror. but 400 years hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for a country this is
2:03 am
a great great day. in terms of equality i just want to finish by saying to save the economy we pare several pieces of critical legislation and i would love her response not only do we need the best for him to leave but we need to completely dismantle the minneapolis police department. where the democrats are preparing police reforms to make it easier to prosecute misconduct and require local police to report data on the use of force police officers also would be obliged to undergo biased training and chokeholds and other dangerous practices would be prohibited and or uniformed federal officers would need to wear body cameras to we discuss using floyd's death or political goals with christopher harrison executive director at an hyphenated america. oh it's called virtue signalling and we're at a stage unfortunately in our country where everybody is afraid of not showing the
2:04 am
proper amount of virtue so you have different companies who are now going out there and they're trying to hurt you signal they're saying ok we're against the tragedy that took place and we now want to make sure that we show that we believe that black lives matter and so literally it's gone ridiculous you can't go you can't turn on a t.v. you can't go to a company's website without them having some sort of statement about where they stand on george floyd's death and it is tragic death and what democrats are trying to do is they're trying to present an idea that they are they that they're more presidential or that they would be better at governing and quite frankly there's been nothing from them that would really show that all this posturing that they're doing quite frankly other trying to appease a lot of young people on trust as opposed to trying to appease blacks i thought it was laughable that you had nancy pelosi of all people out there taking a knee while wearing a cloth which by the way just
2:05 am
a few months ago somebody would have accused her of what we call cultural appropriation because that is something of an african cultural thing and nancy is just as white as she can be and that's something that people really would have been upset that a white woman an 80 year old white woman to walk around wearing african garb and say call that cultural procreation actually staff is often made more apparent a shift in the country's media culture because a couple of and this is from top newspapers have quit off receiving a huge backlash to articles they published a bat the prime test has led to some the right to claim that public opinion has prevailed i think us jenner's and tell him open his mail. the best journalism includes balance inclusion of all perspectives and a clear headed presentation of the facts but not everyone agrees with that these days and this is what we all got in the business to do is that journalism is not a profession of the friends journalism is
2:06 am
a profession of agitation these words came in response to the philadelphia inquirer the paper recently published an opinion piece buildings matter to opposing the looting and destruction of historic buildings during protests 44 journalists who were later backed by jamelle hill stood in opposition to the publication of this op ed the editor in chief was forced to apologize and resign the philadelphia inquirer published a headline in choose days edition that was deeply offensive we should not have printed it was sorry and regrets that we did you also know the nepali giani saturn is not sufficient philadelphia inquirer editor in chief stan which nowitzki whose team won a pulitzer prize back in the day is not the only one to recently resign the new standards of journalism are forcing others out the door as well for example james bennett editor of the new york times he was forced out the door after staffers
2:07 am
opposed his publication of an op ed by u.s. senator tom cotton that advised the use of the army against rioters last week we saw a significant breakdown in the editing processes of the 1st we've experienced in recent years both of us concluded that james would not be able to lead the team to the next leg of change that is required so where does all of this lead it's not only watch what you write but also watch who you know as you can no longer be associated with anyone who is not actively involved in supporting these protests. sent texts to relatives and loved ones telling them you will not be visiting them or answering phone calls until we take significant action in supporting black lives either through protests or financial contributions and now it's watch what you read stop studying books that might reinforce your prejudices have you considered that if you identify as white and read only the work of white authors you are in some ways
2:08 am
listening to an extension of your own voice and repeat while the details and depth of experience may differ white horses have dominated what has been considered canon for eons that means nonwhite readers have had to process stories and historical events through a white author's lens to some these new standards of journalism controlling thought and action might come across as more dangerous than state censorship but those promoting them make no apologies ylem oppen artsy new york legal and media analyst lionel believes these events to show that the public itself is limiting free speech since when is journalism determined by consensus since when do you poll your employees to make sure that not only do you have to gear your message to comport with the worldview of your subscribers but then you have to tweak it and make sure it fits into what your employees
2:09 am
feel what we're seeing right now as we're seeing citizen vigilantism it's not the thought police but the thought vigilantes people individual citizens who want to limit opinion either through newspapers social media name it and again my beloved constitution has nothing to say about this because this only limits the government from limiting it. what's happening is the bigger problem americans are becoming so used to so conditioned so habituated to this kind of limitation of speech and they don't notice it anymore they say well. so what if they want to limit it that's the problem. or black lives matter protests have also been held in the u.k. to some of the demonstrations there turned violent with statues becoming something of a target in parliament square in central london protesters graffiti statues of abraham
2:10 am
lincoln and also winston churchill branding them racists but in bristol demonstrators went further. protesters here pulled down a statue of the 17th century slave trader edward constant it had stood there since 1905 demonstrators then threw it into a nearby harbor with hundreds of people chanting black live matter slogans the move was condemned by the government. is no justification for buyers at all and when it comes to exercise in people's voices and obviously their particular issues and concerns there are many albums to which those voices and concerns can be raised and made earlier the home secretary also claimed that people are distracted now from the cause of the protest several other politicians have called for
2:11 am
criminal charges against those responsible however many activists in playing the statue was inappropriate and should have been removed long ago we put the issue up for debate. why people should want to defend having a statue of a man who represents the channel side of my ancestors and i would ask and i would ask your next speaker what she would defend having for example the commandant of the japanese prison camp who had been responsible for $20000.00 plus english deaths what do you defend the statue being kept up there no that's not the point the point is we have to be actually seen to have justice for all people wherever they are there's that many people that it would cost them before the statue came down in bristol yesterday i understand destroying feelings around
2:12 am
that he was a slave trader in the 17th century 300 years ago because of what he did tens of thousands of people were brutalized and tortured unknown. so made it a living hell i understand absolutely but there are democratic means to putting up statues and taking down statues and it shouldn't have been done in that way you can go to a statue you can shout into the air all you like you can say whatever you want but it's against the law to vandalize statues and buildings and it's against the law to tear things down if you want to tear something down if you want to remove something you do with the democratic process because otherwise where is this going to end without a protest in bristol that's going from the past and look towards the future that would in the process impressed to have been a great opportunity to force a concession to get it removed without what's going to be seen as not justice for instance people have been campaigning for decades to have that statute removed they have the north certainly today a skull and
2:13 am
a concert hall had decided to remove both the name and a memorial isolation of these merchants of genocide we have campaigned for years for that to happen now you should be asking why people have ignored the reasonable requests of people of color and their supporters to have such a racist abuse removed in terms of public space that it had to respond to that i mentioned was that ed wood coaster was responsible for tens of thousands of 90000 yeah you need now i think one man with coast in was work for the royal africa company and that when he was there he was responsible for exams of thousands of people being enslaved which is what i said which is not a like a that one man actually came with the fact that joe of course of $12000000.00 people
2:14 am
being taken into slavery in total in the in the whole sort of 300 year period so that is not what i am i don't disagree with you on that but you just need to understand what i'm saying but i think the for. because of what these protests need to be doing today is not bringing out you know strange outrage over what happened 200 years that a year ago when i was there you all are slaves today mainly in north african countries such as libya and look. now elsewhere french police say that they will no longer. force the interior minister made the announcement highlighting that office is in france not like a place in america. let me put up the choke hold method known as the strangulation method will be abandoned and will no longer be taught in police schools it was a method that had its dangers in addition if a police officer has to keep someone on the ground during their arrest they will now be prohibited from leaving on their head or neck. the minister also added that
2:15 am
0 tolerance for racism should be applied in no one forced moment and is one of the ways to ensure that police will be equipped with body cameras that comes after black lives matter protests were held across the country in and on monday several 1000 took part in the demonstration there a police command and french politician told us he has personally dealt with racist offices in the country. of the police as a former chief of police i can assure you that i've investigated cases of racist police officers racist in every aspect by the way there were cases of violence of theft and others all the proceedings resulted in penalties for the perpetrators but a policeman should get used to the public having sudden changes of heart one day all citizens applaud because a policeman saved it was just when people were in danger and then on another day the same policeman is insulted by
2:16 am
a raging crowd that want to harm. hundreds of palestinians have gathered in the city of ramallah to protest the israeli plan to extend sovereignty or so this would call it an expanse of the west bank if implemented the plan would bring 30 percent of the west bank under permanent israeli control the move follows donald trump's so-called peace plan for the region that recognizes israeli settlements while offering a path for palestinian statehood albeit with severe restrictions but now it seems some israeli settlers are just as unhappy with the plan as the palestinians call a slayer is more. i'm here in the west bank in israel. a settlement of a lot more where where you'd expect most of the city is to be enthusiastic about prime minister benjamin netanyahu is plan to annex such areas to part of israel proper but surprisingly more and more of them are speaking out against such a move. peace plan also turned into an enclave. of the israeli
2:17 am
sovereignty situated 3 the whole of the palestinian state now it's clear becoming impossible insulting a long haul settlement is turned into a man clave we won't be able to leave without a military escort there will be more bones more shootings the ones more of cocktails palestinian police would not even take us into account while the annexation would still be hugely symbolic as it is here enjoy the same rights and privileges of people living inside israel which is why some argue that the territory has a way to defect to beam and next the israeli government enjoys the full support of the united states with the american president donald trump's backing of an expression part of the so-called deal of the century by palestinians trumps planning visions millions of them living in demilitarized enclaves mostly surrounded by israel the plan offers the potential for palestinian self rule but
2:18 am
only after strict conditions are met settlers though argue israel should unilaterally annex territory without agreeing to any of the clauses in trump's plan that they see as concessions to the palestinians and do no this plan is not a good choice and i hope. it will. reconsider this plan because this is a very bad plan for us is 70 is our goal but if this. act come with the price of giving 70 percent of the area in order to get a permit it by united states for 70 over 30 percent of the area no thanks i don't want to give most of the land in order to get legitimized by the americans for the minority of the land more and more settlers are claiming that trumps no good for israel and that his plan in danger is the very
2:19 am
existence of the state of israel and that annexation although it looks good for the settlements in the long run could be something bad culture as a threat from things he's a friend and he really advanced a lot compared to the europeans but still he's not conscious that actually he's giving us more danger than good things so i tell him thank you very much for your willingness we are happy that you begin to understand the reality of the oldest nation in the world who it turns to its homeland after 2000 years but still this is not enough because this is destroying our whole existence both the moral and physical sides which on the other meanwhile is pushing to bring the topic of an exception to the cabinet for discussion is a really is the beginning of next month he says annexation is another glorious chapter in history of zionism the irony is that many ardent design is disagree policia otty initial mon west bank the washing out international going to take a quick bright man morning intimidations.
2:20 am
2:21 am
when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again you with arsene i'm all sky house today lifted itself isolation rules brought in in late march to combat the coronavirus from now on all muscovites including those over 65 can freely travel around the city without needing an electronic pass also from today everybody can visit ahead dressing salloum and in a week's time everybody can enjoy a summer drink and a bite to eat then that side cafe then in 2 weeks' time we're told that gyms and swimming pools will be allowed to reopen also so life in the russian capital is
2:22 am
slowly returning to normal however that's not the case and one of the hardest hit regions in russia journalists from r.t. russia have visited down stand to find out why many compare it to italy and just what explains the high number of infections that. the. only thing you can ask the big of the buns emic was in april here in the middle of may the number of infections started to decline we usually had around a 1000 new cases a day in much go in the surrounding areas. $1000.00 per day yes the load was enormous here's where just like a talent's would like making visits until the end we celebrated everything and that's how it has played out understanding each image up so in reality it's no different from the north of italy people just live together so there's even no need
2:23 am
to make visits because the everything is just a big home for everyone but you when you go i can understand a covert 1900 captain who lives alone all his skepticism is just for himself but in our country it has become the property of entire families there is no such perfect medical system that would have dealt with that. here's the trick needed of course i perfectly understand that if a person doesn't believe the existence and the danger of this infection if a person doesn't self isolate and if traditions are like that i'm surprised the situation has been relatively calm here he could have been deed be a bug in my likes and would just. let it get around. to where it says once you can see that's why i'm helping her out it was the 1st one to get sick me i got sick at home and we were taken here you know gray you
2:24 am
are brave what's most important is that you're together and you're supporting each other it is the dr brave. here which provided a goodly sick. how old are you 8 in that people are what you see she's just 8 and she already has shortness of breath. i wish you good luck on looking at these numbers and you're fine and will be just charge suit. 'd people didn't believe in the need to stay in quarantine that's the beginning only when the 1st person they started to be afraid of virus and they'd kid you look i was among those who didn't believe we needed it what did you think what did you
2:25 am
2:26 am
that report from r.t. russia now you don't need us to tell you the coronavirus has turned the world on its head but in the town of ball things have become really complicated that is because it does travel to the border between belgium and the netherlands and means 2 completely different sets of rooms are in place while cafes and restaurants in the dutch parts of the time have reopened those on the belgian side remain closed that's despite all residents being allowed to move around freely that country by country approach makes the daily life of the tricky an art gallery owner claims it's made things even more challenging and they were ready. really i have to also ok what you for all. have to say we are from the netherlands i have to say i was sorry you can't come into my shop before it was that way so. i didn't like
2:27 am
that i was very nervous to shoot a 1st week i was very nervous because when you can open a shop where you get a letter. to. xcept all you people from belgium. i don't think that's a very good reason for corona because when i have a customer from. in the neighborhood from the netherlands. and the neighbor see ople with a lot of people. i don't think that's a question about the viewers. but we also talk to locals very pinyin on the situation. to the television look i find it very strange that experts gave different advice in the netherlands and in belgium not to talk maybe it has something to do with political decisions not with experts to say in general in the netherlands the situation has been handled somehow more loosely than in belgium where it's strictly on the off the we will know within a year whether this was really necessary whether it should have been stricter in
2:28 am
the netherlands or whether belgium should have been a bit more relaxed static they are not glad of course but they say hooves are rules so they have to listen for that for us we had the luck. and they had bad luck. it's like they're officially we're not allowed to have belgian people. because the belgian government says you're allowed to go across the border to do some shopping to go to family but go to the restaurant or a cafe it's not allowed. so we do not have a lot of belgian people or the wife if there are a belgian people it's people here from the village. i bring you up to date with all the new safe on this tuesday morning watching r.t. could have a company off must at the top here. is
2:29 am
your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a mate in the shallows. is it real or is that they should stay or should i go now is it real or is it fake best the question of our age.
2:30 am
is hard to take some from somebody if you know have some to replace. the want to do this interview today don't use market and then they take me. there are. so are going to tell you start selling drugs if will has some to put the money in it back. then just me all the way in life has almost been basically my color speech before my words do you guys know what sickened me security positions open house you know. jack me again. you see people get all their cars and i'll see you coming in the heart and it seems like they'll hurry up and run into the house like they don't want to they don't want to talk to your get your mail or anything like that.
