2:30 am
york city and los angeles and almost every major u.s. city in between there has also my friends been some bright shining moments of beauty and good amidst all of that i mean you could you could practically hear a sigh of relief echo across the country with news that iowa congressional republican and universally agreed upon terrible human being steve king lost his primary race on tuesday night. good feeling to know one less racist in congress but these early winds of change my friends are not just blowing across the united states of america as n.p.r. reports u.s. protesters rallying against the killing of george floyd and kahless other black americans are being heard around the world as demonstrators launch their own protests in the countries in countries such as the united kingdom germany canada iran and new zealand and many more but it's not only showing support for the racially and financially oppressed underclass here in the united states of this brought many of these global activists to the streets it's also the violence that
2:31 am
law enforcement agencies have perpetrated in their own countries yahoo news reports that protesters are also calling for domestic chart changes in france there are demonstrations in response to the killing of black frenchmen adama tarrar in 2016 in an australia protesters are calling for the government to re-examine the treatment of aboriginal peoples. and this includes our neighbors to the north and canada where toronto is currently reeling from the death the 29 year old black woman regis core chimpsky pocket who mysteriously fell to her death from her 24th floor apartment balcony after police were called to her apartment so today my friends let's examine the black lives matter movement outside of us borders as we look at canada's reaction the police violence against minorities as we start watching all this. what's going on in a city. you want to. see the crisis you always
2:32 am
state see a. great city displays systemic deceptions leaks show which. brings up the jail as. well we're going to watch of the tyro been thrown out of the 6 joining us now to discuss the latest on the mysterious death of 29 year old black woman regis kurtz inskeep after trying to police were called to her home is r t correspondent in toronto alex mahela bitch thank you for joining us alex. thanks for having me so alex please explain to our viewers what we know so far about the events leading up to this woman's death why were police called to her home and what were the and what are they saying took place that led to her to her death her fall . well what we're still waiting to hear from the toronto police services special investigations unit they usually look into cases like this where there's some
2:33 am
discrepancy of what exactly went down but let me tell you something there's been a media leak from the toronto sun and this is basically the story that they are saying what they're saying happened here so ms pac has had some mental issues in the past her mother called the police to come because of a domestic dispute when the police arrived what they did at that point is actually separate the mother and brother from this pack kept herself asked to go inside the bathroom couple police officers went inside the apartment with her was that somebody stayed outside with the mother and brother and then at one point she bolted for the balcony according the toronto sun reports she put some appliance to block that door of the balcony when a police officer saw that they basically ran to get to another apartment it looked like she was trying to get from one apartment balcony to another and before they could make it she fell to her death now from that account it looks like police were actually trying to help her. but the situation merits some some interest in it this
2:34 am
is a situation where you have somebody with a history of mental health issues it does not look like it's necessarily tied to racism per se that said we have had protests in the city because of the issues that were tied directly to george boyd and what has happened in the united states and when you take it to that level again when we talk about merit this is not without merit being that we do have our issues here in this country we do know that race some is systematic in canada our own premier here in ontario doug ford has also said that loud after denying it in the beginning we do know we have an issue when you look at our prime minister justin trudeau in blackface just a few years ago and of course we have them the media picked up on that we do know we have an issue. when a former opposition leader stockwell day is just basically dismissing this and just the whole way the conservative element in this country is looking in to what has
2:35 am
happened here in the past it's like i'm saying systematic racism and we're talking about anti black racism this is the issue of the day we know we have the same issues with aboriginal communities and other communities but let's talk about what's on the table here all you need to do is go to social media see my fellow canadians on there and you recognize you can recognize right from the 1st point that there is race of the racism in this country as much as we hate to hear it. and alex there's a lot to unpack here could you help us with the current status of the investigation into the toronto police actions on that day. so what the police are doing right now they were supposed to talk to the family of miss park at this week basically wrap all this up but with the toronto sun leak what police are saying is that they are pushing this further back and it looks like we will have some information by next week from the f.b.i. you itself as it stands and there seems to be some sort of you know there is
2:36 am
looking at this report and there's something definitely there are people protesting we're going to see where that goes i mean if this does turn into something other than what the story is saying well then you know it's going to be just like in the states the people will have a reason to protest something that's it that does actually directly tie to racism but i sense as i said as it stands right now that seems to have nothing to do with racism and more to do with a mental health issue of an individual something that also police forces need to be very sensitive to and that's when they're approaching people that have these type of problems in their life. thank you very much alex for joining us today and giving us that breakdown on that case i think it's definitely one the watch given the given as you said the nature of racism that we see in canada and around the globe. spacing a lot of different police departments thank you so much sir. thank you. america remains in chaos more than a week up to the death of george ward protests from coast to coast and here in the
2:37 am
nation's capital hoping to put an end to police brutality and to push forward the black lives matter movement here now are some of the most powerful moments we've witnessed in the past few days and i will put a disclaimer on them they are wrong they are real and they are violent. i i you. know you can't walk in fear because if you want to fear you're not going to be here. hot. water so. it's like they can't talk we can't breathe we can't walk can't we can't sleep we can't do anything can't drive without being here we can't even call the cops for our safety to. my sadness. great great. great great great great great big. no. i think what's going on in philadelphia
2:38 am
in that moment it's done more in the law and then we come out good to get out not right. my. greatest name. comes from. god like you addressed. me. but you just see. the. situation. doesn't get help. because. and that's again it is a federal. law state law for the interstate system to cite
2:39 am
for this is why. i just told you know this whole thing is not isn't. that what i style is that they don't stay silent here and you know they said to speak about these. things are important we do need to speak about this they say we keep quiet. things are just going to stay the way they are. you know getting out right. joining us now also from tronic out of the to bring us a deeper look into the case that we were discussing earlier with alex relevance and how it has affected the community i'm trying to as well as the world as writer activists andre don't miss it andre thank you so much for joining us and i want to
2:40 am
start and ask you what bothers you and others in toronto so deeply about the police's actions surrounding this pockets and what questions desperately need to be need to be answered at this moment. well unfortunately this is all too common we we had a gentleman by the name of andrew local who was experiencing a mental health episode and police were called to the building where he was a sewer he learned that were he experienced the episode shortly afterwards he was shot not very long ago to them but the name of the other 3 campbell wouldn't be a brampton area which is just outside of toronto suburban area was also apparently experiencing a mental health of some sort of disturbance and when they the police showed up and he was shot to death and now we see it again where the circumstances behind behind the packet steps are still looked to be. social investigations unit sit still and question right now the fact of the matter is police were called to the home of somebody he was experiencing went to hope it was so happens so. it's unfortunate
2:41 am
that when people of the family member or friends or partners of some years' experience and with the hope that with so it is going or going through them to have questions as to whether to even call emergency services what can happen what could be the end result of that. and under-rate we know here in america that americans have a very long sordid in pretty troubled history with u.s. law enforcement not only poor people of color but also indigenous peoples and we've heard time and time again that there is such a push to have these people often go to a place like canada that seen as so much better in terms of its handling of race how prevalent is racism in canada's law enforcement community. i don't even really know what to tell you when people say things like oh you know it's different to canada they don't have the same kind of racism that exists in the united states unfortunately it doesn't help when our elected officials are people like our
2:42 am
premier doug ford of ontario which is the most populous province in canada france where they go the other premier. deny that stomach reaches them it's even a thing that exists but we know it does because the statistics spirit out that were terrible it collecting data get it were awful like collecting statistics but what we do shows step there are disproportionate about the police violence that are used especially on the on black people in the one in which in this people these aren't conjectures these are plain facts we've had marches in canada not only for black wise but also foreigners in this lives we have have proof that there is a genocide but active indigenous people in canada the young men especially from the genus communities do you think this report about some of police violence so when people in the united states and elsewhere talk about racism being different in canada i have to ask what are you talking about. that's a great question to ask you know i want to finish up we've got a little bit of minute left we have seen incredible response across the globe to the black lives matter movement here in the u.s.
2:43 am
in light of george lloyd's death why do you think the countries like canada other countries around the world are so embracing this movement we're seeing protests all over the world right now. well this is putting a spark to the black racism not only in the united states but literally around the world which you know even can you can find replicate so that sort of racism that is the united states you can find it you know it can be done you can find it in the army and your you can find in countries like south africa still it's still a problem we like to believe that we've made strides of progress and that racism is the thing in the past and unfortunately if you have if you talk to people from black near news just about anywhere in the world they will tell you know like this didn't just go away because there were some social science made i think what you're seeing right now is the order to scold in what way the idea that racism is a little longer a problem when you look at the fact that there are protests happening in every part of the 50 states and many people are coming up for
2:44 am
a reason it is that that is so true i want to thank you very much for coming on and really highlighting this for us and hope to have you back on again soon thank you so much for all the good work that you do in covering these issues as well and right. thank you. art as we go to break remember that you can also start watching locks on the man through the brand new portable t.v. up available on all platforms coming up the n.f.l. is being accused of preposterously for their official stance on the protests taking rocking the united states taking place and then archie's burned bronze that brings us the latest on the follow the president from stress of martial law stay tuned.
2:45 am
we go to work. straight home. has changed many american lives the pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy be certain to. price that they pay closer dependence and addiction to opiates the long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that . the long term effects my not just be absence of benefit but actually that value
2:46 am
my because of the long term. deals right there. where a day of data could be in this house right now. it's hard to convince the mayor. to a minimum wage he can be recruited by again and sell drugs and make hundreds of dollars a day. still in drove his inner fish so one of the 1st is still throats but since you're. in if you don't have to know how to transfer get into this and find the same job this clueless idiot lifestyle is going to fail. speaking of finals and somewhere else does he have a criminal record. this year 5 jobs because
2:47 am
a criminal record should a lot of the moneys moved out of that community anyway. they do not want black people to be equal thing might want one black or they want one black famous person they want one black abyss and one black that. no wants a clip of she will be no use to you. or the script but you might so reese at the because it was so bad because the rule more with the late. well that's you know did you see me to. take you with us that would get the clintons up. again from the coogee look at what i. see that you say yes.
2:48 am
yes. it's protests continue in the wake of the george boyd word we've seen officers national guardsmen people of all races and backgrounds joining in solidarity some are taking me others are marching alongside protestors and giving voice to the voices but the solidarity doesn't stop there the race issues in america are also receiving support from professional sports coaches and players to even international in da icon michael jordan known for his effort to get into action in social justice movements is taking a stand and an interesting show of protest support also came from n.f.l. commissioner roger goodell the same goodell that made sure collin kaplan it would never play again after taking me just a few years ago here to tell us more is our t.
2:49 am
american sports producer regina him i'd like to bring good news monday i would just one day and we're waiting for it we're waiting for that day what we're doing that the n.f.l. is currently under fire for its response to the protests over the death of george ploy especially since it essentially blacklisted collin capper nick who's still is not able to be employed by the n.f.l. for taking me or that the national anthem what are some of the comments teams have made and how is the league's response being received overall oh the league oh the league you know you're playing devil's advocate you're got your it leaves you said something like if they hadn't said anything the i or they would have drawn would be immense but you know the n.f.l. said they're saddened by the. tragic events across our country the protesters reactions reflect the pain anger and frustration that many of them feel many of them interesting considering there's only 4 non white coat head coaches in the league one nonwhite owner and 2 non white g.m. and then the broncos coach vick then gio he decided to chime in and got himself in
2:50 am
some hot water he said that the n.f.l. believes meritocracy i don't see racism in the n.f.l. at all i don't see discrimination in the n.f.l. at all and of course as you can imagine many of his fellow coaches and other players in league kind of when you need to check yourself if you think there's no races in the n.f.l. this is the same lee that blackballed college happened as a as much as you said where are you saying this is a totally fair you know league that we're going in where the owners that you say we're we're with all white white and one nonwhite owner of the day our city isn't there yet no you're pretty much like a crumb in an oreo cookie there's a lot of frosting and one crow that denver broncos coach is trying to keep his job and he tried to apologize if he did he tried that and i realize i said was wrong but didn't say he that the problem didn't exist so if the n.f.l. is under how water and your brain is the side to add fuel to the flame saying that he doesn't agree with anybody to disrespect the flag including somehow aaron
2:51 am
rodgers aside in a cavern and so it's been a weird stance in the n.f.l. and you see them kind of sticking to the status quo nothing's changed you know if we switch over there's a there's another major sports league in the united states that actually has been making some pretty good strides in terms of what since all this started the n.b.a. has been praised for that only supporting players who protest but they're also making strides towards legitimate changes within their league in terms of how they treat black athletes how does out of they compared to the n.f.l. with what their players and coaches are doing you see a lot more support from the top down in the n.b.a. you see adam silver the league's commissioner talking about how you know they do require players to sanford and the but they push your players go out and talk. social issues go out to be active in your community and that's the big difference is the fact they want their place speak out actually it steph curry was just out protesting in oakland with the protesters there so they're encouraging their players they actually have a the national basketball association established a committee on in justice reform with colds or as head coach steve kerr and gregg
2:52 am
popovich of san diego spurs both very outspoken on social media about this cause and getting out and let me share their players are vocal about it and that is what we need to see in our professionally you need to see more of coaches and players and league officials be like talk about this please get involved in a bar good lord i'm so angry about this you can hear it in my voice and he even came out and spoke about it so you need to see the other leagues the n. the n.h.l. the m l b the n.f.l. pushing their players that this is good to talk about this for the betterment of everybody absolutely and i think that in all of the leagues we need more coaches like steve kerr alive popovich to have the entirety of their careers being raced forward being of people who are just extremely understanding of what's going on this isn't new to them they have a chance at this more decade no they they stand by what they say they stick by their morals and so much for bringing us this news from the sporting world it was a pleasure from. ordering tear gas attacks on peaceful protesters in the nation's capital backfired for us president. it looks like his last minute photo op in front
2:53 am
of one of the d.c.'s oldish church is holding a bible wasn't the right move not only is trump facing criticism from the bishop of the local diocese of washington religious leaders throughout the country elected officials and concerned citizens troops top brass have spoken out to u.s. military advisor james miller jr resigned from his post in a strongly worded letter directly calling out secretary of defense mark answered in the letter esper is accused of by leading his oath to defend the constitution through his support of troops use of the military on peacefully protesting civilians joining us to shed more light on this developing story is r.t. correspondent. good to have you once more so you were there moments before the now infamous picture was taken on monday and then the next day you were also there with protesters what was the energy like up heighten the protests you know it's funny to me show my photographer j.t.
2:54 am
and i we were just minutes in front of where those canisters were fired so had we waited 5 more minutes we would have been in the thick of it all and the next day as you mentioned you know when i was with those protesters we also saw tons of religious leaders from all faiths coming out they were praying outside of st john's church where our live shot was set up to announce it we're trying to even have catholic priests going to the protesters and sprinkling holy water on them now these were some of the photos that i happened to take while we were there but it's monday's photo obviously that's the big issue that james miller has with defense secretary marc esper who actually published his resignation in the washington post writing to asper president transactions monday night violated his oath to take care that the laws be faithfully executed you may not have been able to stop the president but you could have chosen to oppose it instead you visibly supported it. you know it's interesting because now you have a whole lot of backpedaling going on since the spota war at the bottle start of it seems like james miller is seeing what everyone else saw what is the trumpet
2:55 am
ministration you know our other excuse and miss what about what are they leaving on today reisa tyrrell so when when you think about when you were a little kid right and you got in trouble what's the 1st thing that little kids say i didn't know was going to happen right that's exactly what mark esper is now saying in fact trump is actually mad that he's backpedaling now but as for says that he was told that he was going to be doing just 2 things the 1st was looking at the damage at st john's church from the night before because they got spray painted it was part of the basement caught on fire and talking with the troops in lafayette park which is directly across the street from the white house he also did push back on the media though saying that what was reported was actually an accurate list of this. national guard forces did not fire rubber bullets or tear gas into the crowd as reported. 2nd guardsmen were instructed to wear helmets and personal protective equipment for their own protection not to serve as some form of intimidation. and we also have another person who was on that walk the nation's highest ranking
2:56 am
military officer echoing what asper just said and you also have attorney general bill barr he's coming out saying that it wasn't trump who ordered the gas canisters it was him trying to take all the blame off of trouble so again it's rewriting history or is it protesters reporters getting the facts wrong who's to say. that's a good question to ask a very good question to ask fair and i got to say thank you so much and thank you for bringing that report to us live and thankfully you weren't caught in the middle of a very dangerous photo op by our president thank you so much it was a pleasure thanks. and we should just keep building and building doesn't that had never seems to stop no no i do believe a word coming out of the white house when they talk about bill barr saying oh we're just trying to like you know stretch out the block and i don't believe a word out of the white house in general and i definitely think that you know this story keeps on changing and more things keep getting added to it it tells us that you know once you start a law you've got to keep the law going that seems to be the case isn't it it's like
2:57 am
they just cannot give up the go it's like no we didn't look at this historic moment that i'm reading a member senior today reading off a p.r. piece talking to reporters today the white house press secretary as they point out always a great moment and really good she had an image like a quote because you got to have one of those you're the only people who think that was a great moment the rest of us are frightened to death by that moment are that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world you're not told that you're above that up so i tell you all i love you i robot and i'm in the circle keep watching those hawks stay safe out there and have a great day and that. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront cation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going
2:58 am
