i make money. that's what. trump threatens to send the army to seattle if authorities don't do something about the protesters who have occupied parts of the city and declared it. the city's mayor says that using military force would be legal. hundreds of right wing protesters defend the. central london was. the controversial former leader a racist. and thousands of protesters came out in paris against police brutality and violence.

very good evening it is great to have you with us here on r.t. international. first this hour protesters in the newly formed autonomous in seattle in the united states are considering their next move having seize control of the area after to been abandoned by police president trump has threatened 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 to iraq he 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 to the beginning of the week by black lives matter activists they are ahead of themselves inside 6 blocks in the center of seattle and declared it a police free zone activist there's a raid to loach explains what life is like inside the called me. i am down here in the capitol hill autonomous zone also known as chavez and the mood here is come a peaceful ok 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 him there is they could constitute 24 hour vigil people could 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 barricades point 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 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 community is where it's needed the most and so that is definitely a goal of people. i would say the number one. great now. protests are continuing in other parts of the city too 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. meanwhile protesters showing no sign of easing in other u.s. states to with the center of american commerce no exception new york's or demonstrators come out peacefully to support the black lives matter movement rally

coincided with a women's empowerment margin ended with a joint platform rounds gathered in manhattan reportedly starting out from trump tower people were seen holding placards and chanting various demands they included defunding the police justice which will destroy them to focus on the lives of black women. aside from the general public the black lives matter movement has the backing of major u.s. companies think loued amazon microsoft and starbucks however it seems that when it comes to the racial equality cause it's more talk than action has more. 21st century companies live in fear of castle culture of phone tree to 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 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 about 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 scolded by its low hypocrisy starbucks users scoffed at the 6 tracked by 18 year old can taste in 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 the heat as other companies

also suffer from selective memory fashion powerhouses i see christian prada tweeted how how sick and sad and they were by inequality and how they were companies with 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 exploitation. ask the vocal 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've been 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 emails 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 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 perpetually policy isn't acknowledges that are clearly targeting and harming black and brown communities and into the mix that only 8 percent of its managers in the us a black and you'll see why slapping a ban 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 help us troubles everyone wants to join in and profit from us and what microsoft has started posting messages from it's like employees they don't mind and runs out of material pretty quickly given the less than 5 percent of its entire what force is law so we get a lot 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 the wind blows to the other. police in the united states are facing increasing hostility amid the ongoing black lives matter protests major in the tolson police department has been criticized for insisting officers aunt targeting african-americans. he has the figures to back it up it's an issue i discussed with him. you had 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 that's happening in the states we make 350000000 contacts year and obviously the fast majority of those are 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 that skinner all went back 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 2016 if you want to look tough simply 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 the normal unarmed black so they're very even numbers and you know if 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 the rickles even like a public movement to defund the police force do you think that that 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's been 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 60 percent of the people unfortunately at this country's are are mentally ill and forcing off which it doesn't always know that on a sunny and so i actually. right climate science and programs of the law enforcement to try to take some of that burden away from law enforcement what you can't do is you can't take funding from law enforcement and then ask lots more to do the same exact work just really very typical. right wing demonstrations have defended the boxtops that you've been sittin churchill in this parliament square which last week was targeted by activists who sprayed he was

a racist on it police have imposed restrictions demanding protesters leave the streets 5 by 5 pm local time in order to prevent violent clashes between the 2 sides to brown reports from parliament square. 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 in trafalgar 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 and attacks on statues which are connected with britain's colonial past last week for instance in bristol the statue of edward 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 mostly 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 absurd and and 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 what city can this is sided to do here we were out on the streets of london. finding out exactly what locals think about subjects qantas isn't to board up the structures here in holland where i guess people are here to defend statues 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 but 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 realise 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. i would. museum or. people should remember it was a lot harder but. i don't think a lot of the statue should be taken down after gags or balls and something bought

that pos i think it should be just insulting for all the people living in the world to be to see the. several 1000 have defied the curfew to keep protesting violent clashes between rival demonstrators have been taking place in several locations in the capital we'll bring you more information on this developing story as it comes. meanwhile in the northern city of new castle scuffles broke out on saturday's black lives matter activists faced off with counter-demonstrators army veterans along with football fans and right wing activists encircled the monument to former prime minister earl grey saying that they would defend it from racism groups earlier a contributor to the guardian newspaper suggested taking down the statue claiming it's linked to slavery he was mocked on linus slavery was actually abolished in britain under that premier the gays people's opinion in the city on the monument.

to create a delicious bill for the slavery of look. bill was passed when he was prime minister. i don't know or pacific what he was free and he was famous for taking. totally disagree with that he was british he got rid of slavery feel like i don't know enough about his interest in slavery as to whether it's a good or bad thing so i couldn't say until i knew that more about it. covers he generally this should be taken down because nobody likes to you know anything a push to not be as it is causing offense in any leadership for these museums we can have this just you know history sure need sure that some of them probably do need demolishing but as with so often the situations what starts off as a good thing all tends to go a bit too far. let's take this monument fine is fine since in one night we're talking face you found was taken down it wouldn't be reassessed because you could

still put in some heritage site which for full safety if he's in a book in a in need in website if he can be searched online. if the people who. are on these wanted to represented on these monuments. a certain person in slavery or that their own profit then i think it needs to be seriously looked at whether we have them as as points of reference or point power thousands of demonstrators came out in the center of paris on saturday protesting against police brutality and widespread discrimination. i a protest called by the black lives matter movement saw protesters climb a building to tear down a huge banner denouncing anti white racism has been placed there by a group of far right activists from the generation identity group until racism does demonstrators also jumped on statues held flares and marched with signs in largely

peaceful rallies took place despite a national coronavirus related ban on gatherings of more than 10 people try to disperse the demonstrators with tear gas. it is essential to improve the system because we are talking about systematic violence here it's not just police violence there is up he has discrimination overall inequality goes way too deep we need to reform the system in order to create equal conditions for all. those with no support we need to support this battle against racism this is extremely important it's our duty as french people now after everything this happened. to join their people you know this is a special day for us because we're showing our support for the families of those past the way far too early those who were commemorating today besides we are protesting against the violence we've been facing in the pol districts for a long time now this demonstration is a possibility to speak up to deliver

a point and express our anger with the situation. i think something historic is happening now in france i came here today to support those faced discrimination that was experienced as well i can see that people with different skin color than ours are treated differently this is happening in poor districts as well as demonstrations i came here to support those people being treated differently. meanwhile 10000 officers took to the streets of paris on friday against new government measures that chokehold steering arrests or enforcement marched along the shores ollie's a they carried banners saying no policed. no pace alongside marked cars honking their horns in a similar demonstration the day prior to that officers are thrown handcuffs on to the ground that came after the french interior minister police were using chokeholds in arrest describing it as a dangerous method the general secretary of the french police union is refusing to budge. the statement by christopher guest and there this monday is unacceptable

he was talking about ben and cho calls in the rest but this is used here in identification just like i and my colleagues were taught we are using this method against those who resist identity checks or arrests you know that to avoid this collation of the situation in the police christopher custom issued revise the current stance on this and confirm in a matter of hours that this ban will not be introduced moreover a list of new methods should be introduced that would be as effective and provide safety for my colleagues otherwise the police protests going on right now across france will continue. until i heard $1300.00 medics warned that thousands of protesters might be in danger of contracting coded 19 all because tear gas is helping its transmission from person to person take a closer look after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race this spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. we're seeing is a utter divorce an utter split from the. real economy and the financial lives funny money fed driven to c.n.n. that is now taken over the globe this is causing. overlord are becoming fabulously wealthy and they are revolting they got a good old fashioned president barrack word acknowledge that your.

welcome back 1st concern the use of tear gas could hugely increase the spread of covert 19 among protesters the issue has been highlighted in an open letter which was signed by almost 1300 u.s. public health and medical professionals it comes amid the nationwide protest against racism that's been raging now for 2 and a half weeks opposing the use of tear gas smoke or other responders 3 irritants which could increase risk for covert 19 by making the risk to 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 closed setting can lead to blindness it also leaves severe chemical burns of the throat and lungs even deadly response. the philadelphia police commissioner still argues riot control agents remain the safest way to disperse crowds the deployment of tea gas was a means to safety diffuse a volatile and dangerous situation and restore order when it became increasingly clear that all the measures been effective in accomplishing that necessary objective. viral or just at the u.k.'s lancaster university believes the concerns about the current use of tear gas are justified. actually then we look on to the dispatcher track inspection they are very easy to be transmitted 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 it is true just retrieval of prosecution so anything that can expose the respiratory track or create any additional damage to

the distorted track is something that was certainly how to divide us to any trade into the body otherwise we could probably protect it so therefore ready to call mr straight exacting sanction tempered i'm excited cornell are certainly good at keeping the other rescues back healthy is not very important and having to tear gas is certainly not a good choice in this condition in particular so someone who has interacted with a girl nobody has or has asked them all or other komo to be deities in terms of this pretty trackings actions or other are community diseases if they want to be under the tear gas or similar kind of attack or even that mean that david because feeding more and heart coughing can lead to the lightest of trouble even longer than to meet it is to study we are really good jokes so this means the widest translation would be even more having to explore many people in the vicinity how it would be a little more exposed. a long time professor at a top u.s. college has been placed on leave after refusing special treatment for black

students a group of students had asked the u.c.l.a. teacher gordon plan for the final exam to be postponed for them due to the impact of joy troy's death this was khan's response. any idea of any students from minneapolis i assume that they probably are especially devastated as well i'm thinking that a white student from them might possibly be even more devastated by this especially because some might think that they were racist even if they're not. but the punishment of klein is forced deep divisions with opposing petitions appearing in response one demands he's fired or the other wants the 27 year lecture reinstated petition supporting the professor has far more signatures we discussed the issue with author and political analyst and resurfacing political and social issues you tube and blogger and brian logan. he literally made a mockery of the fact that people who were experiencing george floyd death and dealing with the trauma of that as an african-american person in america that

they would have any type of real trauma he dismissed it he made a mockery of it and frankly it's disgusting that he would and disappointing frankly that someone in his position would be little the experience of students that he's supposed to be caring for and what he said what he was talking about as far as white people they may live in minneapolis feeling a little bit more tip if they could be right because a person that brought the complaint to begin with was what he said of course white ally so i mean where was a black person that came for and say hey can we take off exams can exams now count because we're going through with thing that people don't know this may and they're not related to him so how can it really be so overtaken with grief so the point where you can just go by the number every day life i thought that was really ridiculous i thought it was an excellent e-mail that the professor saying and returned i don't know george for him personally but as a black woman in america and maybe a.b.l. himself doesn't have this experience and maybe he doesn't identify in his blackness

but as a black woman in america i remember being pulled over by the police because i was african-american i remember feeling afraid for my life i know what it's like to have people who are african-american that i care about come in contact with the police and fear for their very life and because of that the death of george floyd resonates with me strongly and it's a morning when women at me being a woman when i know that i can birth a child who will be killed or who can be killed simply because of the color of his skin all right i'm going to use on my hero as a horrible about the blackness but the whole blackness part i mean i come from the hood i'm from bridgend you are grew up in the mostly like predominately black area all my life i know what it's like i did like a dog with its mother black people coming to my window i know what it's all about so there's always been about oh maybe you don't identify i know are different than if i. i know to real grief i know what the real problems are coming from a train from the white man and from the police is from my eyes so when i see people i argue grieving for george miller you know ok your mind will do you might you

might say you did them saying oh you know here's a behavior for weeks you don't you don't know this man you can be good for 4 weeks people at worst people will give you more for george florida and it would for their own grandmama want to own grandaddy i don't really understand the be issued and that is not accurate either that's not accurate i can't say people in the eye can see what we're seeing are black people who are responding to a collective body of pain if you're familiar with the phrase pain body there is a collective pain body of hundreds of years of pain from oppression slavery and other things that have basically impacted the mind in a lot of black people carry what we call a post-traumatic stress disorder because of the x. i don't i don't have a i don't i don't it is republican town maybe a.b.l. you when you see the police maybe if you've been pulled over you're not concerned that they see black 1st and that you're a man 2nd but many people in this country who walk around and know an african-american skin or black skin have that fear and it's

a very real concern one thing i would say to anybody it is i who i actually don't care because you are if you're feeling bad for black people because of one person and i don't do that just be honest just be yourself and there is no need to be you know intentionally nasty or intentionally just overly nice to just be ru and what he was doing in a letter was being rude and if you are against racism if you get screaming nation you should be in favor of what he said in the letter he's like look i'm not going to treat black students any differently i'm not going to give anybody any kind of special anything because it is skin color their behaviors you do same ok i really appreciate your company joining me from place and often. has changed. american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs to people who are chronic pain patient and

believe that their opioid prescription is working for them and the remedy be said to. price that they pay closer dependency 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 might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they might because they want to. max kaiser this is the kind of the report this is your captain speaking we're starting to enter terribly close place fast on your side while bruce.
