the headlines this hour donald trump threatens to send the army to seattle if local authorities there don't do something about the protest is. part of the city and declared it an autonomous zone the city's mayor says using military force would be illegal also this there is a new wave of anti racing protests taking place in london right now these in the latest pictures sorry live pictures we have from there hundreds of black lives matter demonstrators that surrounded the statue of winston churchill which last week in graffiti declaring him a racist. and swedish opposition parties lash out at the government relaxed approach to the corona virus which resulted in one of the highest mortality rates in europe.

good afternoon you're watching r.t. internationally she's gone 3 o'clock am more. protesters in the newly formed autonomous zone in seattle are considering their next move having seize control of the area after it was abandoned by police president trump has threatened to send in the army if the local authorities fail to resolve the matter. we're not going to let this happen and if we have to go in we're going to go and to go there is you going to do it but to go to do it he's got great national guard troops to iraq you can do it but one way or the other it's going to get done and these people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city our president wants to tell a story about domestic terrorists who have a radical agenda and are promoting

a conspiracy and fitz's law and order initiatives it's simply not true the threat to invade seattle to divide incite violence in our city is not only unwelcome it would be illegal the capitol hill autonomous zone was formed the beginning of the way by black lives matter activists they barricaded themselves inside 6 prox in the center of seattle and declared it a police preserve on activists the loach explains now what life is like inside the commie. i am down here in the capitol hill autonomous zone also known as chaz and the mood here is completely peaceful you can see it over here. we've got people really get some food and over here we also have free pizza shrinks water all types of snacks we've got people handing out bags with masks and hand sanitizer literally everything you can think of and over here

is the memorial that is set up to all of the people that we've lost or during the george lloyd rebellion as they're calling it that's what the the law says of in there there's a good constant 24 hour vigil people can light candles and you know say their prayers see you know just just hang out this is the west entrance to the capitol hill autonomous zone back there we have the the precinct which is where this is where most of the violence was inactive by the police for the last 2 nights the last week or so this is where most of the stuff happened and there are still 4 main barricade points and inside is the autonomous zone people are anticipating on staying as long as possible there have been several tents that have already been set up people are preparing to stay overnight the main goal i would

say that i could say right now is that people are they calling for the defunding of police you know nationwide we've seen this minneapolis city council. already you know completely dishpan vote to disband the minneapolis police were calling for the same thing here in seattle we're calling for a complete defunding of the police a completely allocation and to black and brown communities where it's needed the most and so that is definitely a goal of people. i would say the number one. for rate now or black lives matter protests are continuing in other parts of the city too on friday thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets in the so-called silent protest the rally came on the same day a federal judge ordered police to temporarily shut the gas or pepper spray against the protesters in seattle.

now protests are also still happening in other u.s. states too with the heart of the u.s. commerce no exception new york's will protesters come out peacefully to support the black live matter movement the protests can coincide with a women's empowerment march and ended with a joint platform crowds gathered in manhattan reportedly starting at trump tower people were seen holding placards and chanting demands various demands they included to funding the police justice for george floyd and a particular focus on the lives of black women now aside from public support the black lives matter movement has the backing too with major u.s. companies including amazon microsoft and starbucks however it seems that their actions aren't speaking louder than their words askew taylor expects. 21st century companies live in fear of castle culture of their own tweet too i misjudged joe kony 20 hoss sentence in the court of public opinion so with black lies much of

the protests sweeping the globe every business is clamoring to say they are part of the fight the problem is they forgot to do a background check on themselves just phoned up starbucks is catering to the comfort of their racist customers by asking their stuff not to wear anything in support of black clothes matter so i won't be visiting them and they'll be telling everyone i know to boy called them as well that ban on b.l.m. attire was late for a bus but it was too late because by then incensed activist had gotten a pumpkin spice latte fuel deep ties to the company's history and sure enough starbucks got schooled but it's also hypocrisy. starbucks uses scoffed at the 6 tracked by. slaves and what tamara kenyon costa rica and panama. remember when they wrote let's talk about racism on the cops remember when the

close to half a day because 2 black men were arrested for being black at a starbucks as we always thought they were only about black lives matter when it's convenient luckily for starbucks so it's not taking all the heat as other companies also suffer from selective memory fashion powerhouses i victoria's secret and prada tweeted how how sickened and somehow did they work by inequality and how they were companies ethics which could be seen as false up the ties and given that if you google though you might stumble across words like child labor best rotation black face as for vogue obviously the most influential fashion magazine well now it's promoting voices and brands in the black community which probably came as quite a surprise to the publication brazil director who recently celebrated her 50th birthday with in own problematic slave themed party the world of big tech is also

massively promoting black lives not not on to amazon and then you'll be welcomed by the movement santa and jeff bezos is publicly naming and shaming customers who send him mean e-mails because of the company's starts which would be a full proof plan to boost your popularity than to make another couple of $100000000.00 if it wasn't for the fact that amazon makes a tidy sum from its dealings with the police it is opportunistic a furnace on to use this moment to make empty and hypocritical statements when it is similar tenuously building the backbone for many police departments across the country the company proprietary policy center acknowledges that are clearly targeting and harming black and brown communities and into the mix there are only 8 . of its managers in the us a black and you'll see why slapping a bad on your home page doesn't quite make the cut as a black woman i feel like it is time to boards there's

a help us troubles everyone wants to join in and profit from us and while microsoft has started posting messages from its black employees they don't mind and runs out of material pretty quickly given the less than 5 percent of its entire workforce is black so we get it got a couple of pages here an emotional piece that bathroom in a social media stunt the pundits will laugh it up and the books will say balance but it looks like they went and posted another black square on instagram and they forgot to put a padlock on that closet busting with skeletons. 1st detail of their ok well let's go to london now where several anti racism demonstrations are being held today we're looking at some live pictures there many are centered around the boxed up statue of winston churchill in parliament square which last week was targeted by activists he sprayed he was a racist on it police have imposed new restrictions today that demand that protesters leave the streets by 5 pm local time to prevent filing clashes

especially as county demonstrators are also planning to protest so let's get the latest now from reporter james brands in the center of london force james good afternoon just talk through them what the situation is like in london at the moment . well we're here in parliament square which is the official designated meeting place for the far right and hooligan elements who have come here supposedly to stand up for britain's cultural history for its heritage as they say there are groups like the interestingly named democratic football lads alliance who have been behind this shouting football themed slogans and chants but it's also been seen that they're not showing using their fists because at least twice now we've seen them charged police come down the road in front of us here attacked with bottles and with cans and we've noticed people passing us on the other side cameramen with bloody faces so violence is very much under the surface here the official black

lives matter protests are going from hyde park down to whitehall today much of the controversy surrounding them have been vandalism and attacks on statues associated with britain's colonial past slave trade at what cost and actually was rolled into the river in bristol and churchill start she was dogged with the slogan was a racist on the pedestal now in response to that metaxa of the statues master deckard has decided to order up as you can perhaps see behind me here and that has because that's prompted quite an angry response from british prime minister boris johnson. you've got a situation in which the statue of winston churchill who is a national hero has had to be boarded up for fear of violent attack and that to me is both absurd and and should not have a situation which people who are protesting on one basis are violently attacked he

the police public property. and we've also been out here on the streets of london finding out what people think about the attacks and the vandalism of the statues and how they've been treated. i guess people are here to defend so choose and i support people defending their people trying to take it down so i try to look at things from both perspectives there's a lot of good history behind it people don't want to talk about the bad history and that's one of the issues that's trying to be changed i didn't. realize a lot of things he'd done i never learned that. he. just. people should remember it was a lot harder than. i think a lot of the statue should be taken down at the guy or the ball itself and bought

that pos i think i just insulted for all the people living. in the cd. now for now things have quieted down here. and any activity here in parliament square but the protesters will be moving towards white hole and all supposed to finish at the official curfew of 5 pm now the police forces will be extremely keen to make sure that the 2 sides do not meet and there is no escalation in some of the violence that we've already seen here today. that's reporter james brown in the center of london for us. now over in the u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi is leading the fight against confederate statues on capitol hill she has even sent a letter to the joint committee on the library asking for them to be removed amid the nationwide demonstrations against racism. can you imagine jefferson davis

alexander stephens. treason it makes reason against united now and this tragedy i see only because their state like them here where this does come amid the current campaign in the country to take down symbols of the confederacy in norfolk virginia a statue of a confederate soldier has been renewed after standing in its place for more than $100.00 days however officials think the decision to take it down was actually made out of safety concerns area and portsmouth a man suffered serious injuries after being hit by a statue that was toppled by demonstrators in total for statues of being beheaded in the city we discuss the war on monuments the host of r.t. america's on contact show chris hedges. i think it's important to remember what the historian carl becker wrote and that is that history is what the president chooses to remember about the past so historical monuments are an expression of power

indication of who has power and that's the power to choose our history is remembered in public places. all of these confederate monuments the ones that you've seen coming down mostly in the south of course. were put up in the late 890 s. the early 20th century. to a century remind of black people during jim crow and the period of lynching. of the power and celebration of white supremacy and there was a very conscious effort to exclude figures. not just in terms of black leadership or those such as not turner and others rose up to rebel against slavery but also white including generals who didn't. support segregation and white supremacy. so to come the south the 100 medics were on that

side. thousands of protesters might be in danger of contract think i would 90 no because to gas is helping your transmission from post to post take a closer look at this story just after the break. we go to work you straight home.

1300 us public health a medical professionals and it comes amid the nationwide protests against racism has been raging for 2 and a half weeks. opposing the use of tear gas smoke or other response 3 irritants which could increase risk for coated 19 by making the response tree tractor more susceptible to infection exacerbating existing inflammation and in juicing coughing well apart from coronavirus related health concerns there are other issues too prolonged exposure to tear gas or a large dose of it especially in a closed setting could lead to blindness it can also result in severe chemical burns to the throat and lungs or 3 failure which can be fatal however philadelphia's police commissioner does still argue that riot control agents such as tear gas remain the safest way to disperse angry crowds the deployment of tear gas was a means to safely diffuse

a volatile and dangerous situation and restore order when it became increasingly clear that other measures were ineffective in accomplishing that necessary objective said were ologist at lancaster university in the u.k. mohammed minerva does believe concerns about the use of tear gas are justified at this time. actually when we look onto the display true track inspection they are very easy to be transmitted and one of the contributing factors for the color of light is to see right and take the whole world on nice they didn't for 5 months as being a stress free treatment of prosecution so anything that can expose the respiratory tract or create any additional damage to the spirit interaction is something that would certainly help the vitus to any trade into the body otherwise we could probably protect it so be it for ready to call mr straight exacting section tempered i'm excited for laurie said really good at keeping the upper respiratory tract healthy is not what i'm told and having to tear gas is certainly not

a good choice in this condition in particular so someone who is infected with a girl nobody has or has asked them all or other cuomo to be dicky's in terms of this for tracking sections or other our community diseases if they were to be under the tear gas or similar kind of type or even doc mean that david because the more and heart coughing can elect the hardest to trouble you any longer going to meet it is to study we are really good jokes so this means the widest transmission would be even more heading to explore many people in the vicinity how would people get exposed. mass women's health minister says that the country is taking precautions ahead of a potential 2nd wave of the correction of virus however there are still diets and concern about the 1st wife was handled but it is true that dissuade issue rates of metallik the are comparatively high on certain days or weeks however it's also true that these kinds of comparisons tends to be

a snapshot of the pandemic on a certain period of time with managed to flatten the curve the health care system has coped well. as expected the taliban rates are decreasing slowly but steadily sweden took a much more relaxed approach compared to most other european countries with no strict lockdown imposed but there have been increasing questions about its success with even the state epidemiologist admitting there were too many fatalities the whole situation sparked outrage from opposition parties. the government and the public health authority have been given chance after chance to correct their mistakes despite this the delays and the hand wringing remain the swedish government has deliberately allowed a large spread of the disease in a difficult crisis we will always be leaderless as long as this government isn't power there have been obvious fundamental failures in sweden's covered response we

didn't get protective equipment to care homes in time although everyone knew that their residence where the most vulnerable according to a recent poll has been a significant drop in support for the government's response to the virus it does show a forward of 18 percent since april and are off the sea for an online newspaper and also a former member of the social democrat party though says he's actually surprised there hasn't been more criticism we have the high mortality rates i mean. of most countries. we are in a situation that other european countries are denying us the right to go there even our neighboring country won't allow us but they will allow the norwegians and the danes and i have understanding for that considering how this would government has handled this chronic crisis. but this is a fact and testing was never important in fact the government authority that the

government now sort of blames they said testing is unnecessary so just these 2 things prove more or less that the government's actions in this crisis has been wrong. and it's pretty obvious for the opposition parties to use that against the government because they have failed in most ways so not only do they see the active politicians but the people of sweden see it also it's quite unbelievable. that the social democrats and authority hasn't gotten more critique than it has. now finished today the international criminal court or slammed washington for sanctioning the organizations saying that the court is effectively the last hope for the victims of atrocities an attack on the i.c.c. represents an attack against the interests of victims of atrocity crimes for many of whom the court represents the last hope for justice the u.s.

secretary of state mike pompei oh and i have sanctions in response to a probe into u.s. war crimes in afghanistan he also gave a speech almost entirely dedicated to the greatness and exceptionalism of the united states. has more on the story. donald trump has announced that sanctions are being imposed on the international criminal court it's being alleged that the institution violates the sovereignty of the united states trump ministrations taking the following actions. first we're authorizing the imposition of economic sanctions against i.c.c. officials directly engaged in i.c.c. efforts to investigate u.s. personnel or allied personnel against that allied states consent and against others who material support such officials activities instead of having the international criminal court monitor human rights around the world it seems that the united states government will take on this task all for its own mike pompei o the u.s.

secretary of state recently came out with a report describing religious freedom around the world and he touted the united states as the ideal in the speech mike pompei o trotted out the old image of an exceptional united states that stands above all others when it comes to liberty and freedom our nation is so special as the greatest nation in the history of civilization this especially the challenges like the ones that we are confronting here in the united states today will be managed head on the will be a political process this thing gauged of the be wide open debate and are our core principles the the fact that we respect every human being because they are made in the image of god will be reflected in the way that the united states response to these challenges according to mike pompei o american discourse is free and open it's only and other countries apparently that mass protests are taking place. 5. 5. catley it's only in other

countries that peaceful protests are dispersed with tear gas and dissidents are arrested and held without charges only in foreign lands as the political elite ignore the needs of the people and plow ahead building a police state no. not in america only 6 years ago congress was overwhelming would prove police militarization nancy pelosi eliot engel and over $350.00 lawmakers of both parties joined together to vote against representative grayson's amendment to end transfers of military equipment to local police and 2014 and of course america always respects the rights of journalists and freedom of the press we have received numerous reports of journalists attacked harassed and arrested and detained in the course of their work over the protests in the united states against systemic racism and police brutality only in other lands to allies watch in horror at the mishandling of protests we all watch in horror 'd and

consternation what's going on in the united states only in foreign lands we see citizens begging the united nations to speak up for their rights the undersigned family members of victims of police killings and civil society organizations from around the world call on member states of the un human rights council to urgently convene a special session on the situation of human rights in the united states in order to respond to the unfolding grave human rights crisis borne out of the repression of nationwide protests you see the united states is exceptional it's got a perfect record it does not need an international criminal court and it's got solid ground to stand on and criticize other countries yeah well these days even many stunts u.s. allies might strongly disagree with that it will mop and r.t. new york that is just coming up to hamas 3 in the afternoon here in moscow good to have you company back with the headlines and more news in about.
