they are. saying they have a yes. he. he yes but he joined me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. there's a new wave of anti racism protests in london hundreds of black lives matter demonstrators are surrounded to a standstill with churchill which last week was dogged in graffiti declaring him a racist. and the army to seattle if don't do something about the protesters we've occupied part of the city clearing it

an autonomous so that the city's mayor says that using military force that would be illegal. and elsewhere swedish opposition party glass out of the government's relaxed approach to the corona virus which resulted in one of the highest mortality rates in europe. very good evening to you great to have your company this is r.t. international. said 1st to london where several anti racism demonstrations are being held today many are centered around the boxed up statue of winston churchill in parliament square just last week was targeted by activists sprayed he was a racist on it and police have imposed new restrictions demanding protesters leave the streets by 5 pm local time in order to prevent violent clashes especially because counter demonstrations are also plant local reporter james brown has more

on the story. well here we are in parliament square things are relatively peaceful this is the designated meeting place for right wing groups who say that they have come here to defend britain's cultural heritage to defend its monuments however there have been a number of clashes with police that have taken place throughout the day here where police were charged police had bottles thrown at them and we noticed 2 cameramen from different stations coming towards us with seriously bloodied faces who were obviously injured in other parts of london interfere of a square there were also clashes smoke was released what we think is a smoke bomb and fireworks were also let off of there so parts of the day have been more eventful than others in other parts of london in the black lives matter demonstrations they've been making their way from hyde park down towards to follow the square and much of the controversy that surrounded the black lives matter protests has been around the vandalism in attacks on statues which are connected

with britain's colonial past last week for instance in bristol the statue of that cost in the slave trade it was taken down thrown into the river and winston churchill who normally can be seen behind me here had his pedestal dog with the slogan was a racist now in response to that the mayor of london city can decided that he would board up this statue in a number of others supposedly to protect it from any further damage now that decision has proved controversial and elicited an angry response from the prime minister 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 a and and is should not have a situation which people who are protesting on one basis are violently tacky the police are public property and it's not just politicians who have strong views

on one. this is cited to do here we were out on the streets of london finding out exactly what locals think about 6 qantas isn't to board up the stratosphere in harm's way. i guess people are here to defend statues and i our support vehicle defended it will support 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 he was racist i didn't realise a lot of things he'd done i never learned and i certainly wouldn't learn it from the stuff he outside. or i just i would. use a more in school which is actually. 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 but that was i think i just soaked in for the people who are living in

a world that left it to cd. it's 5 o'clock is the official end of the protests here today and the matter supporters will be getting closer they'll be closer to trafalgar square fairly shortly so we will see what will happen but the police will of course be on their guard to make sure that the 2 opposing factions here do not meet each other. the protesters in the new formed autonomous zone in seattle are considering their next move having seize control of the area after it was abandoned by police president from spread to send in the army if local authorities failed to resolve the matter. we're not going to let this happen in seattle if we have to go and 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 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 and incite violence in our city is not only unwelcome it would be illegal the capitol hill autonomous zone was formed at the beginning of the week by black lives matter activists they barricaded themselves inside 6 blocks in the center of seattle declaring it a police free zone activist as a very dilute she explains what life is like inside the company. 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 wall 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 precincts 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 so 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 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. great now to be protests continuing in other parts of the city on friday thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets in what they called a silent protest rally came on the same day as a federal judge ordered officers to temporarily stop using tear gas or pepper spray against the protesters in seattle. we want protests are showing no signs of easing in other u.s. states with the center of american commerce no exception new york's or demonstrators

come out peacefully to support the black lives matter movement the rally there coinciding with a women's empowerment march and it ended with a joint plan for crowds gathered in manhattan reportedly starting out from trump tower people were seen holding placards and chanting various demands those included defunding the police justice for george floyd and a focus on the lives of black women. aside from the general public the black lies about a movement has the backing of major u.s. companies that include amazon microsoft and starbucks but it seems that when it comes to the racial equality cause it's more talk than action tell explains. 21st century companies live in fear of castle culture of old tweed too i misjudged can lead to a 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 found out 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 boycott them as well that ought to be on the tire was laid 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 a low hypocrisy starbucks uses scoff at the 6 tracked by 80 year old 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 there are only about black lives matter when it's

convenient lucky for starbucks so it's not taking all that heat as other companies also suffer from selective memory fashion powerhouses i see christian prada tweeted how how sickened and somehow did they work by inequality and how they were companies with ethics which could be seen as full suffered ties in given that if you google though you might stumble across words like child labor exploitation black face asked 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 we didn't own problematic slave themed party the world of big tech is also massively promoting black lives matter not on to amazon then you'll be welcomed by the movement santa and jeff bezos is publicly naming and shaming customers he sent

to me 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 i was and makes a tidy sum from its dealings with the police it is opportunistic offenders 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 colleges that are clearly targeting and harming black and brown communities added into the mix that only 8 percent of its managers in the us a black and you'll see why slapping a barrier on your home page doesn't quite make the cops. as a black woman i feel like it is time to boards there's a helpless troubles everyone wants to join in and profit from us and what microsoft has started posting messages from its like employees that if i do runs out of

material pretty quickly given the less than 5 percent of its entire what force is black so we get it couple of pages here an emotional peak that bathroom is a social media stunt the pundits will laugh it up and the books balance but it looks like as they went posted another where on instagram they forgot to put a padlock on that closet bursting with skeletons. or black rights movements of him famous across the united states since the $960.00 s. one of the most controversial black panthers started by monitoring cops and challenging police brutality we discussed the current rise of the black lives matter movement along with current civil rights in america with renowned political activist and former black panther angela davis you can watch the full interview on monday and here's a preview. i think the world is able to see. this nation is far from hell c. o

a police department so that was dramatic expression of structural racism our prisons are full of black people. like to know. that. we have to have an abolitionist imagination if we want to guarantee a future for our city i was standing nation and for the world's. police and the us off facing creasing hostility amid the ongoing black lives matter protest a major in the tolson police department has been criticised for insisting that officers aren't targeting african-americans. that he has the figures to back it up i had a chance to discuss the issue with him. you have those isolated incidents rifles and go incidents that occur and especially on body camera video they're shown over

and over again so i think the general public thinks well that's happening in the states we make 350000000 contacts year and obviously the fast majority of those there is not in the instance that occur we use force less than one percent of all arrestees but when that mistake happens you know we're all healed by that standard point that i would encourage your audience you go to the washington post police shooting database and they come pahl the state of source you can go back and look and since 2015 if you want to look talk about the unarmed individual shot by law enforcement if you break it down between african-american and white it's 3 percent unarmed white shot unarmed and 2 percent of one or more unarmed black so they're very even numbers and you know it's race isn't a factor generally those numbers should be even there's a real sphere here in the states to actually talk about that and what i've been trying to say is we've got to be able to we've got to be able to we can at least talk about those facts it's really hard to move forward a problem solve a piece of power and use of excessive force by police in the us who goes right back

to the civil rights movement has been going on for a you know 50 is. can you understand why there are coals even like a public movement to defund the police force do you think that bond is the right direction to go in given that the problems have been around for so long isn't it time to try something different or is this the case of just making a bad situation worse if you if you start to defund that's a huge huge decision and you've got to really think about law enforcement in america is it well funded now i think were we have gone astray in america is law enforcement being tasked with doing things that we never had to do from the mentally ill that that system is broken so law enforcement final straw that we end up you know about city percent of the people unfortunately at this country's are are mentally ill and forcing off which doesn't always know that on a sunny and so i actually. why tarnish fonts and programs of the law enforcement to try to take some of that burden away small enforcement what you can't do is you

can't take funding some law enforcement and then asked law enforcement do the same exact work just to be very. still ahead $3800.00 medics were in the thousands of protesters might be in danger of contracting cope with $190.00 because 2 gas is helping us transmission from person to person we take a closer look after the break. we go to work you straight home for.

long we're seeing is a utter divorce an utter split from the real economy and the financial lives funny money fed driven casino that is now taken over the globe this is causing to think big over lord class are becoming fabulously wealthy and the peasants are revolting they've got a good old fashioned peasant revolt out america and where that go i'm not sure. sweden's health minister says that the country's taken precautions ahead of

a potential 2nd wave of the virus however there are still doubts and concerns about how the 1st wave was handled. it is true that the swedish rates of mortality 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 we've managed to flatten the curve the health care system has coped well as expected the metallica rates are decreasing slowly but steadily sweden took a much more relaxed approach compared to most of the european countries with no strict lockdown imposed there have been increasing questions about its success with even the state epidemiologist admitting there were too many fatalities whole situation as far as the 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 this we discover

meant has deliberately allowed a large spread of the disease in difficult crisis we will always be leaderless as long as this government is in 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 and according to a recent poll there has been a significant drop in support for the government's response to the virus shows a fall of 18 percent since april can't are off c.e.o. for an online newspaper and a former member of the social democrat party is actually surprised that there hasn't been even more criticism we have 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 the switch 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 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. those concerned the use of tear gas could hugely increase the spread of covert 19

among protesters this has been highlighted in an open letter signed by almost 1300 u.s. public health and medical professionals comes amid the nation why protest against racism has been raging now for 2 and a half weeks. opposing the use of tear gas smoke or other respect tree irritants which could increase risk for covert 19 by making the risk of tree tracked more sceptical to infection exacerbating existing inflammation and in juicing coughing. apart from coronavirus related health concerns there are other issues too prolonged exposure to the gas or a large dose especially in a close setting can lead to blindness and can also lead to severe chemical burns of the throat and lungs and even deadly risperidone failure for the death of his police commissioner still argues rock control agents remain the safest way of dispersing crowds. the deployment of tear gas was a means to safely diffuse the volatile and dangerous situation and restore order when it became increasingly clear that other measures were ineffective in

accomplishing that necessary objective. $100.00 minear a viral or just that the u.k.'s lancaster university believes concerns about the current use of tear gas are justified. actually when we look on to the dispatcher track inspection they are very easy to be trust me today and one of the contributing factors for the call of augustine's right and take the whole word on nice they didn't for 5 months as being a stress free treatment of transmission so anything that can expose the respiratory track or create any additional damage to the spirit traction is something that would certainly help the virus to any trade into the body otherwise we could probably protect it so be it for ready to construct a straight attacking section down and i'm excited cornell are certainly good at keeping the upper respiratory tract healthy is not very important and having to tear gas is certainly not a good choice in this condition in particular to someone who is infected with their grown up ideas or has asked them all or other komo to be ditties 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 or even that mean that they become feeding more and heart coughing can lead the hardest to trouble you any longer going to meet it is just that we are really concerned so this means the widest transmission would be even more heading to explore many people in the vicinity would be a lot more exposed. to. the international criminal court has slammed washington to sanction the organization saying the court is effectively the last hope of 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 so to stay mudbone peo now is the sanctions in response to a probe into the us war crimes in afghanistan he also gave a speech for those almost entirely dedicated to the greatness and exceptionalism of

exceptional united states that stands above all others when it comes to liberty and freedom our nation is so special it's 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 and 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 palm peo american discourse is free and open it's only an other countries apparently that mass protests are taking place. 50. 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

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 staunch u.s. allies might strongly disagree with that cable mop and r.t. new york. staying with us throughout the evening to get a check out more of our new stories as well by heading to our website. the world is driven by dream.
