i wouldn't get the kind of put up by the. bush here at the capital. city they say yes look. yes but. the headlines this hour thousands of their last tributes to the late george florey in his hometown of houston texas protests continue to rage across america and politicians are accused of politicizing its day. after black lives matter to this in the u.k. topple the statue linked the slave trade it raises the bate's about the fairness of their actions. with the slave traders in the 17th century 300 years ago democratic me stupid to choose to take you down statues people are being campaigning for decades that. they. know what israel's plantronics

parts of the west bank following the green light from washington doesn't get much support from something's right he said it was him to say. hello welcome you're watching r.t. international this tuesday morning 10 o'clock here in moscow now george floyd whose death at the hands of police in minneapolis sparked nationwide 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. protesters took to the streets of new york the 1st day after

a curfew there was lifted crowds gathering sorry crowd chanting george lord's name and black lives matter march through the city without any major clashes with police further nationwide protests are expected today meanwhile around 6000 mourners filed past george floyd's coffin in his hometown of houston the final stop after a series of memorials were held in his honor but the fallout from his death has provoked claims politicians are trying to win political points democrats for example melt for an 8 minute silence in congress the length of time prosecutors say floyd we spend under a white police officers need before him. every american should try to stand in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to acknowledge the pain of george lloyd and the pain of racism hard enough to grieve but it's much harder to do it in public it's much harder with the whole world watching your incredible family is old

daughter was there i want to sit there is going to change the world and i think her dad is going to change the world hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country this is a great great day in terms of equality i just want to finish by saying to save the economy we passed several pieces of critical legislation. for this. for a little. while there is a other way that. the democrats are preparing police reforms to make it easier to prosecute misconduct to require local police to report data on the use of force police officers would also be obliged to undergo bias training and chokeholds and other dangerous practices would be prohibited and all uniformed federal offices too would need to wear body cameras we discussed using floyd's death for political goals with christopher harris an executive director of one hyphenated america. oh

it's called virtue signaling and we're at a stage unfortunately in our country where everybody is afraid of not showing the 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 you believe that black lives matter and so literally it's gone for you because 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 of trust as opposed to trying to appease blacks i thought it

was laughable that you had nancy pelosi of all people out there taking in the while wearing a cloth which by the way just 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. or george floyd's death is a worse i made more apparent to shift in the country's media culture a couple of editors from top news pipers have quit soft receiving a huge backlash to articles they published about the protests that has led some to claim that public opinion has not prevailed i think he less journalism expects. 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 are getting the business to do is that journalism is not a profession of being a friend journalism is 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 we also know the nepali g. on its own is not sufficient philadelphia inquirer editor in chief stan which now ski 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 opposed his publication of an op ed by u.s. sen 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 late take significant action in supporting black lives either through protest of 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 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 it would mop and artsy new york legal and media analyst lionel believes that these events do show that the public itself is not a 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 world view of your subscribers but then you have to tweak it and make sure it fits to what your employer you 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 there's only limits to government from limiting it to 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 maybe so what if they want to limit it that's the problem. now elsewhere black lives

matter protests have also been held in the u.k. some of the demonstrations though turned violent with statues becoming something of a target in parliament square in central london prosser protesters graffiti statues of abraham lincoln and also winston churchill branding them racists but in bristol demonstrators went further. i. protesters pull down a statue of the 17th century slave trader edward colston it had stood there since 8095 demonstrators then threw it into a nearby harbor with hundreds of people chanting black lives matter slogans the move was condemned by the government. is no justification pulled by axel and when it comes to exercise in people's voices and off to see their particular issues and concerns there are many albums to which those voices and concerns can be raised and

made well earlier the home secretary there also claim that people are distracted from the cause of the protest several other politicians have called for criminal charges against those responsible however many activists claim 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 genocide of my ancestors and i would ask and i would ask your next speak would he 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 sane to have justice for all

people wherever they are and i think many people have heard of it what caused them before is that she came down in bristol yesterday look i understand the strong feelings around 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 and their lives are made a living hell i understand that 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 what are the protesting bristol that's going from the past and look towards the future that would in the process to bristol have been a great opportunity to force a concession to get it removed without what's going to be seen as not just as for

instance people have been campaigning for decades to have that statue removed they have been north suddenly today a skull and a concert hall had decided to remove both the name and a memorial isolation of this match into the genocide we have campaigns they years for that to her. but 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 colston 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 was not

holiday that one man actually came with the fact that you're of course of $12000000.00 people 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 focus of what these protests need to be doing to date is not bringing up you know some strange outrage over what happened 200 years it's a day when i was scared you people are slaves to day mainly in north african countries such as libya and look. down at the knees french planes were no longer be allowed to change chan colston terry minister my d.n.a. highlighting that offices in france are not like the place in america. i mean the joke called 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. said the minister also added that 0 tolerance for racism should be applied in law enforcement as one of the ways to ensure that police will be equipped with body cameras that comes after black lives massive protests were held across the country inland on monday several 1000 took part in the demonstration a former police chief 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 when 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 a raging crowd that want to harm him because it was. hundreds of palestinians have gathered in the city of ramallah to protest the israeli plan to extend sovereignty or as others would call it an x. parts of the west bank if imprint if 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 palestinian statehood albeit with severe restrictions but now it seems some israeli settlers are just as unhappy with the plan as palestinians paula slip as this report. i'm here in the west bank an israeli settlement of a lot more way. well 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 we'll as per trumps peace plan all settlement will be turned into an enclave a jewish settlement hundreds really sovereignty situated at the heart of the palestinian state now it's clear that life would become impossible in such enclaves . along the medieval settlement is turned into a man clave who won't be able to leave without a military escort there will be more bones more shootings the wounds more of cocktails palestinian police would not even take us into account while the annexation would still be hugely symbolic as sick as 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 office the potential for palestinian self rule but only off to strict conditions are met sickness though augie israel should unilaterally annex terror treat without agreeing to any of the clauses in trump's plan that they see as concessions to the palestinians until now 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 sober n.t. . is our goal but if this. act come with the price of giving 70 percent of the area to in order to get a permit it by united states. a 70 over the city percent of the area no thanks i don't want to give most of the land and all that to get

legitimized by the americans for the minority of the land more and more sick as our claiming that trumps no good for israel and that his plan in danger is the very existence of the state of israel and that annexation although it looks good for the settlements in the long run could be something bad closure 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 are turning streets homeland after 2000 years but still this is not enough because this is destroying our whole existence both the moral and physical science netanyahu meanwhile is pushing to bring the topic of an exception to the cabinet for discussion as it really is the beginning of next month he says annexation is another glorious chapter in the history of zionism the irony is that many odd and design is disagree policia otty initial mon west bank.

so to come community sound put a province in canada as after the reading of a controversial bill that contained the can as protesters fined and even arrested if they demonstrate close to essential infrastructure after the break we'll have a look at have this story is playing out along side the black lives matter movement in a bring america. you

can go with yeah you. seem wrong but. just don't. let me. get to shape out to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. is it real or is that they should stay or should i go now is it real or is it fake that's the question of our age. again now while anti racism protests have been writing in the united states in

neighboring canada a 3rd reading of a controversial bill has passed that would criminalize process of indigenous people called critical infrastructure money with him whose indigenous name is slated relieved the country is on the edge of real civil unrest. we would fight it on the ground you can keep indigenous people are their territory i think that you were. huge civil and rashed opposition. there in jeff not legal action. by many indigenous peoples there would definitely be protests this is unacceptable or even the idea of going through or it being asked or brought. to consider. it's unconstitutional and so it would be in stark contrast in violation of our laws on every level when the bill named as the critical infrastructure

defense act will build one is designed to protect essential infrastructure from damage caused by protests it implies large penalties for blocking or damaging property and the potential 6 month prison sentence have passed the bill would protect the pipelines among other things when it was the construction of one particular pipeline that triggered large scale protests for indigenous rights.

operatives justice minister has tweeted that the bill was brought in when there was quote lawlessness across canada he also added to that the rule of law must be upheld their. energy minister is equally optimistic. now the great time to be building a pipeline because you can't have protests of more than 15 people that you need government claims that they want to move forward with reconciliation between indigenous peoples and the federal government that all of their actions to date in terms of. oil and gas industry and projects moving forward they are showing that they actually want to move forward with reconciliation so their actions are in conflict with what they're saying that they'd like to do lists indigenous people the government's been very good at rhetoric they've been talking about a reconciliation approach and they should have a sure relationship but in reality what they've been doing that much saying one

thing and doing about other and what they've been doing on the ground is trying to promote modern agreements that basically terminate the preexisting right so conditions peoples and to a lesser newer formal right but given the you know carried out more control over the lads and resources to to hand them over to the corporations they could just can't unilaterally act as if they could do things with the layouts territories resources with corporations without including a distrust people should territory it is my most co has today lifted itself isolation rules brought in in late march to combat the coronavirus now all muscovites including those over 65 years old can freely travel around the city that needing an electronic pass from today everybody can visit ahead dressing salloum and then in a week's time everybody can enjoy a summer drink or a bite to eat at a knife side café in 2 weeks time james and swimming pools will be allowed to open

so life in the russian capital is slowly returning to normal but that's not the case in one of the hardest hit regions in russia where the situation there has been compared to italy. you cannot see 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 yep the load was enormous 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 that in reality is no different from the north of italy people just live together so there's even no need to make visits because everything is just a big home for everyone but. i can understand

a covert 1900 captive who lives alone all his skepticism is just for himself but in our country it has become the pro prosy of entire families there is no such perfect medical system that would have dealt with that. district 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 sell fine 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 just. let it go. when it says what you can see that's why i'm helping her around who was the 1st one to get sick me i got sick at home and we were taken here you know gray you are brave what's most important is that you are together and you're supporting each

other it is the dr brave. here which provided the goalie sick. how old are you. 8 in there are similar to what you see she's just dates 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 josh suit. the you.

the moscow good to have a company back with more nice at the top there. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons

capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're.
