she's to look for common ground. i. i. protesters in seattle barricade themselves into a central area of the city declaring it in the thomas zone president trump demands lord lord of their one increasing effort to militarize the plagues. also to come back large masses sentiment is sparking calls for a reassessment of the past we'll take you on a tour of the streets of paris to explore the history behind that famous and infamous names on the new york times admits brought in a key report into fraud during last year's elections in bolivia which triggered a coup that toppled the president.

hello there you're watching out international this thursday morning which just come out that macaque in moscow protesters chanting black lives matter slogans of seize control and barricade themselves into 6 blocks of central seattle they are calling the area the capitol hill. and their move came after police retreated from the neighborhood now hundreds of demonstrators led by the seattle city council of also occupied the city hall. protesters are demanding the resignation of the city's mare and for the police to be defunded their main goal is to build a community inside the zone with dance and police some of those holed up inside the

city who claim the community and not the politicians should control decision making or the capitol hill thomas or chaz as is a self declared commune aside from black lives matter activists is kind the answer for movement has also helped to set up the zone although there's no there's been no official acknowledgment of its involvement no police or cars are allowed into the area and reports suggest that some of those inside the zone are armed online there's been a mixed response to the comic. isn't

trump has demanded law and order in seattle he also called out to those he felt responsible saying all this is happened in a radical left democratic state but the concept of your new order has been on the lips of both republican and democrat presidents for more than 5 decades. law and order perhaps more familiar as the popular t.v. show you running for 3 decades already law and order. but also exactly what's triggered nationwide protests across the united states.

that's the. law and order is the 1st responsibility of government don't send people up there that come home and talk tough on law and order and crime and then go back and vote some other way around us to merely a symbol of law and order a policeman on the campus and that was the moment when the ringleaders should have been taken by the scruff of the neck intro and out of the university one. by law and order i mean one order for everybody we've got to reestablish respect for law respect for law and order a concept that's existed since the founding fathers the catchphrase that helped take richard nixon to the white house during mass civil unrest and race riots. around 200 people died back then in clashes martin luther king was assassinated so waving in a new era for society nixon proposed an agenda in which police powers were a bouncer increase in 1968 the green light was given for the use of stop and search

and powers have expanded since. in new york it became infamous stops dramatically increasing under mayor michael bloomberg in the 2 thousands going but it raised a key issue racial prejudice during the peak of the program more than half of the people stopped were black but the black community made up just over one quarter of new york's population 1st started new york philadelphia. california. first. it was there as new ways to keep order were introduced laws became tougher since 1928 states have adopted some form of what's known as the 3 strike practice it meant lengthy sentences for repeat offenders even life behind bars the policy came in as the war on drugs peaked which raised further questions of racial targeting at the turn of the century more than

half of all inmates serving time for drug offenses in state prisons were black 3 years ago it was still around 30 percent despite only being 13 percent of the population as a whole with both police powers and sentencing increased prison numbers skyrocketed there are more black people than any other racial group behind bars in america something that has not changed under bill clinton george bush or barack obama for every 100000 people in the u.s. sentences for black people a 5 times higher than whites. so law and order it was a response to rioting like the unrest ravaging the united states from coast to coast in 2020 provoked by police actions it happened in los angeles in $92.00 after the beating of rodney king by the authorities it happened after the 2014 shooting of michael brown in ferguson a year later in baltimore with the death of freddie gray.

in the last 5 years on record the number of those fatally shot by the police per 1000000 people is higher among blacks than any other ethnicity and now history is repeating itself yet another police related death has provoked unrest and again triggered discussion on black rights so as we look back on what's unfolded since nixon and his slogan in the sixty's donald trump has reassured the nation now saying i am your president of law and order well trumps demands for your in order come at a time when police in the us are becoming increasingly militarized many forces now boasts the kind of hardware previously only seen in frontline combat abroad have more pain reports. predator drones are a staple of u.s.

foreign policy they have been used in afghanistan pakistan bosnia serbia yemen iraq syria somalia and now minneapolis though the protesters didn't see it it was flying over their heads in order to help federal officials gain situation awareness and go reports indicate it was an armed people are angry and afraid the deployment of drones and offices to surveil protests is a gross abuse of authority and it's particularly issuing when they used against americans who are protesting law enforcement brutality it appears that the war on terror has come home the mine resistant ambush protected vehicles built by the u.s. military to a stand i attack on iraq have been rolling down american streets as well the 1033 program allows the u.s. military to provide local police departments with weapons local police can order weapons like remade launchers automatic rifles and bayonets as well as body armor

robots aircraft watercraft and survey one strongs these are defense department products deemed to be excessive old or surplus $7400000000.00 worth of defense department property has been provided to over $8000.00 different law enforcement agencies by the 1033 program ex new york city mayor michael bloomberg once referred to the new york city police department saying i have my own army and the n.y.p.d. the 7th largest army in the world very well with lots of military equipment the n.y.p.d. certainly does seem like an army of iraq obama rolled back the program after the ferguson protests and national outrage about the militarization of police. 7 c back in. however trump has route 5 the program now many are asking the question why does the

department of defense have so much excess gear that it needs to unload anyway the u.s. has been involved in so many words that they become occupations and the military is has developed techniques who are operating as an occupying army and they've brought this home they brought the war home after they made by these things and the military you know uses some of them they become surplus or if they don't buy of them all you know the military orders a certain number and then they back out of buying some of it a lot of the stuff sitting in military warehouses and so they want to get rid of them and basically congress passed a law saying that these things are to be given to police departments so we have the ridiculous situation where small towns are being given em wraps they're totally impractical they don't make any sense they're terribly intimidating. and that's

part of the purpose i guess for years americans have been told that the military budget is necessary to keep them safe and protect them from bad actors around the world but it's starting to look like the bad guys these weapons are intended to be used against our a lot closer to home the very people whose tax dollars pay for them it will mop and artsy new york. with the americans by the former minnesota governor jesse ventura about the police becoming more heavily armed. why do cops now look like star wars commandos i mean when they come out and you look at them they don't look like your friend they look like an occupying military today not only that i was driving down minnesota a year or 2 ago and i saw the freeway this big black vehicle looked like it belongs to our rack and i pulled alongside of him and said mr soldier state highway

department this thing was unbelievable i mean it was it was a combat military machine we did get bad stuff out of our police forces we do i was in the philippines when ferdinand marcos declared martial law i was physically there and there were military of every corner with machine guns let's not do that when the current protests are not just about confronting racism in modern society but also about our links to it in the past in the u.k. for example statues to slavery being torn than and there are calls to the famous galleries to bring renamed but colonial history does run deep throughout europe in paris for instance around $200.00 streets to take their names from the past. takes is almost tool of some of the most controversial. harris the city of lights could at the shadow of france's past be about to demand that as

protesters across the world are demanding that monuments and stop use of historical figures with links to the slave trade and colonialism of pull down how could that play out here well to start with the city would have a lot of renaming to do some 200 ave streets in squares all have a colonial reference take this one call seems pretty innocuous right minister over the 14th but you only have to scratch the surface to find out that the man it's named after is accused of drawing up the code you are now in layman's terms that the legislation that not only defined the conditions of slavery in french colonies but it also restricted the activities of black people who were free and what about this were. named of a distinguished french general but there was little to let you know that he also once was head of her sleeve owning plantation and took part in france is brutal

subjugation of algeria better scrub that one off to hold her was as you all adjust and a physiologist he's credited for his publications which showed that oxygen could be toxic to some insects and animals now i'm not only is this street named off to him but so too are some of the big stories of the cafes here so he must be good right though it seems his theories on race were even more toxic than the air that we breathe he wrote school textbooks used until the 1930 s. which claimed that white people were not only superior but also more intelligent than black chinese people perhaps we could just rename this street appalling bird. now this is. one of my favorite streets in paris it is teeming with busy cafes and food shops and it would take you weeks to ease your way through here but then

there's this. as you can see it's already been targeted by someone who was less than happy with it being in plain view and then there's the p.s. to his distorts napoleon the bonaparte monuments in paris just like this one in front of the moves are littered with his image he's possibly the most famous and celebrated frenchman in history but the former emperor has a checkered past and no i'm not just talking about the defeats it more to see you know which by the way has become a word in front synonymous with the proverbial poop hitting the fan napoleon the bonaparte not only invaded and plundered countries like egypt and syria he also restored slavery in the caribbean a whole 8 years after it'd be abolished by france what about raising dams this

monument to the little corporal's victories but that's going to be a tough sell changing a few street names or even taking down the monuments may be easy a token of recognition but much more difficult is to raise the entire colonial history of a country like france a history that is we've threw out a city like this in paris instead some argue that we shouldn't change anything and instead educate people about the misdeeds of the long praise to readers who also had a long and dark list of transgressions. ati errors. become the new york times has admitted there were major flaws in it he reported to your knowledge he is living in the elections which triggered a coup. the details just stop. and.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. it seems wrong we're all just don't all. get to shape out just being educated and in the game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground.

welcome but now the new york times has surprised many of its readers with a major u. turn having previously back to kill a report into fraud during last year's believe you know elections it now says that those findings were actually incorrect he was though that very report which triggered a coup in bolivia topping the reelected president. as more. forget who sions 11 or the italian job this was something else they didn't rob a bank or a casino vault this heist was so much more ambitious they stole an entire election without forging

a single vote see if you can figure out who the robbers were as we start from the very beginning of this heist the o.e.s. mission expresses its deep concern and surprise at the drastic and hard to justify change in the trend of the preliminary results known after the polls closed just as vote counting ended the oas the organization of american states which monitors the elections came out and cried foul allegedly incumbent president evo morales was getting too many votes too fast which was too good to be true that was all the opposition needed to hear. what followed was just shy of a civil war a military coup the incumbent president was forced to resign to flee with his

family to mexico and an unelected far right woman white and reach takes power indigenous bolivians scepter they knew what life is like and minority white rule which is why they elected morale is indigenous himself 3 times in a road but the oas segments the coup by issuing a final report on the election the conclusion is that there was intentional manipulation and serious irregularities that make it impossible to validate the results originally issued by the believe you know electoral thorazine who do you think did it do with the proverbial robbers was it evil morales the huge. the popular president running for his 4th term and leading by 10 percent of the book was that the opposition who were so far behind that their only chance was to spoil the election was in a foreign power someone who wanted morale is gone the united states applauds

believe in people for demanding freedom and believe in military abiding by its oath to protect not just a single person but believe me as constitution it was none of them the robbers those who stole the election the mosques will carry guns they held clipboards in the skies themselves as election monitors was ingenious who would expect election monitors to essentially falsify fraud it's like the police robbing a bank unthinkable but that's what they did remember when they claimed that morality got too many votes too fast and it all but had to be frugal turns out he didn't have to be fraud they just changed the graphs and played with the data to make it seem that way we revisit the evidence finding that the jump does not exist a secular trend explains that within precinct results and we can predict that both 7 40 pm results almost exactly using data from the previous poll which they were

going ization of american states indorsed this isn't news back in december academics and statistics rang the alarm saying that the oas wasn't being entirely accurate truthful essentially the election monitors were either incompetent by jumping to the wrong conclusions or malicious by manipulating data either way the result was a military coup and people have been calling for months for an apology in fact it is easy to show with election data which is publicly available that the change in marlice lead was neither drastic nor hard to explain we call upon the oas to retract its misleading statements about the election which have. contributed to the political conflict and served as one of the most use just a few cations for the military coup so why isn't this a matter of public knowledge why aren't people outraged well that was taken care of by the media which essentially then dusted the robbers traps the media misled

millions by jumping the gun and essentially laying it all on morales look at the new york times then burying morality his presidency versus the new york times now. a close look at believing election data suggests an initial analysis by the oas that raised questions of vote rigging and helped force and the president was fluent the oas by the way is to stink champagne a c. they now claim there were so many irregularities that no one could find the truth you're doing a statistical exercise on documents that are falsified the question is not whether the false numbers add up the question is whether the false or not and the it's like the movie inception you know a dream within a dream within a dream except in this case it's apparently election monitoring fraud inside made up statistics inside thick grass and at the end of the day bravo ladies and

gentlemen the your yes an organization mostly funded by the united states you may be surprised to hear virtually stolen elections sparking a military coup and got rid of a leader that the united states didn't like without falsifying a single vote now that is a heist or a ghastly affair will professor of latin american studies at the city university of new york then wish or believes the u.s. media always vilifies nationalist leaders that washington finds difficult to control. the media always does is the media demonized vilified as it will want to alice's the khadafi don't you look they. fidel castro's mugabe in zimbabwe they completely vilify these nationalist leaders who they cannot control and that becomes a headline that this film feed the american people for months and months and months

building up towards the coups the invasions the occupations and then once they have a bolivia or a libya. back quote unquote under control and once it's functioning is us near new york only we never hear about their country again and that's the same blueprint that they've used over and over so there's no reason to think that they're going to walk back anything in terms of their misreporting on bolivia months ago they're going to continue to try to be colonized bolivia with their eyes towards an electoral cool instant temper if necessary and that brings you up to date for the sat there are plenty stories on our website you can find i use that outing to.

know what's a clip of short of oh yes to the above post but the way it's always at the back i was a thorough moment of the lieut. not so much we didn't see immediately what happens to that they can put us in the mood at the close to the. smithsonian national museum of the capital clinton that at the day i. see the. yes. the. up. they can come and blow our brains out at any given time if we can't really do anything actually america is the only country in the world where you can kill people. war illegally get away with. all the fire crawls still.

all the trouble here's the point it's hollow flying to k.k.k. exists because america wants it to exist they are the biggest terrorist group to ever operate in this country and they're dead to me they're worse all in the people who destroyed the world trade centers or the scroll why. why. why. destruction of nature is connected to them. that's when there's a lesson. we need to be listening for us we're going to repeat this over and over if you can teach destroy the last wild places on earth and we interview since he. is you'll be via reflection of reality.

in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolate. whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true wants is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. this

is the one business show you can't afford to miss friendship or in washington coming up the fed has decided to keep rates steady in the midst of the coronavirus devastation we bring you insider insight on the decision and what lies ahead for the u.s. central bank clutched at the federal reserve has propped up markets in the u.s. it is posed an interesting issue for a major debt holder china and later the race is on for the head of the world trade organization and the european union is weighing in we bring you the latest on the run with a packed show today so let's dive right in. and we leave the program with the latest policy update from the federal reserve's federal open market committee as expected fed chair jerome powell announce interest rates will hold near 0 through

2022 but the real question has been what action will the fed take moving forward. since march we've been purchasing sizable quantities of treasury and agency mortgage backed securities you know to support the smooth functioning of these markets which are vital to the flow of credit in the economy. our ongoing purchases have helped to restore the market conditions and have fostered more accommodative financial conditions as market functioning has improved since the strains experienced in march we have gradually reduced the pace of these purchases to sustain smooth market functioning and thereby foster the effective transmission of monetary policy to broader financial conditions we will can increase our holdings of treasury and agency mortgage backed securities over coming months at least at the current pace paul added the fed will continue to monitor the situation make moves as necessary and went on to talk about the economic impact of the krona virus pandemic.
