8:01 pm
broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our team international i'm. certainly glad to have you with us. now the mayor of seattle has responded furiously to a thread by donald trump to deploy the military to her city to break up an autonomous zone set up by black lives matter protesters jenny durkan said any such action by the u.s. president would be against the law. 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
8:02 pm
beginning of the week by black lives matter activists they barricaded themselves inside 6 blocks in the center of seattle and declared it a police free area activist doesn't. explains what life is like inside the commune . i am down here in the capitol hill autonomous zone also known as chaz 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 it there is they could
8:03 pm
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 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 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 just then vote to disband the minneapolis police were calling for the same thing here in
8:04 pm
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 goal for right now. and b.l.m. protests are continuing in other parts of the city as well on friday thousands of demonstrators marched through the city streets and what they called a silent protest the rally came on the same day as a federal judge ordered the officers to temporarily stop using tear gas or pepper spray against the protests in seattle. with officers in the u.s. facing growing hostility a major in the police department in tulsa oklahoma has come under fire for claiming that african-americans are not being unfairly targeted travis yates says that he has the figures to back that up as well you know harvey spoke to him earlier. you
8:05 pm
had those isolated incidents rifles and go and since that her 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 and that's going to role play into that i would encourage your audience you go to the washington post police shooting database and they come pahl the state of course you can go back and look and since 2015 if you want to look talks 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 a normal 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 senior 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
8:06 pm
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 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 on a 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. well i harnessed on some programs of the law enforcement
8:07 pm
to try to take some of that burden away from law enforcement what you can't do is you can't take funding some law enforcement and then asked law enforcement do the same exact or just be very sure that. the turmoil is not limited to the united states thousands of anti-racism demonstrators gathered in the center of paris on saturday to protest against police brutality and a widespread discrimination. and protests called by the black lives that matter movements all protesters climb a building to tear down a huge banner denouncing anti-white racism the banner had been placed there by a group of far right activists from the generation identity group anti-racism demonstrators also jumped on statues held flares and marched with signs the largely peaceful rallies took place despite a national krone virus related ban on gatherings of more than 10 people police
8:08 pm
tried to disperse demonstrators using 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 obviously is 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 for this this is a special day for us because we're showing our support for the families of those host the way too early those who were commemorating today besides we are protesting against the violence has been facing in the poor 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
8:09 pm
that was experienced as well i can see that people with different skin colors than ours are treated differently this is happening in peru districts as well as demonstrations i came here to support those people being treated differently. meanwhile there's another side of the coin as well around $10000.00 officers took to the streets of paris on friday against new government measures to ban chokeholds during arrests law enforcement marched along. carrying banners no police no peace alongside marked cars honking their horns in a similar demonstration the day before officers threw handcuffs on the ground it comes after the french interior minister banned police from using chokeholds and arrest describing it as a dangerous method but the general secretary of the french police union is refusing to budge. the statement by christopher guest and their this monday is
8:10 pm
unacceptable he was talking about ben in choke holes in the rest but this is used here in identification just like i and my colleagues were told we are using this method against those who resist identity checks or arrests in order to avoid this collation of the situation in the police christopher cluster near should 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. across the channel in the u.k. right wing demonstrations have defended the boxed up statue of winston churchill in london's parliament square which last week was targeted by activists who sprayed he was a racist on it and police have imposed restrictions demanding protesters leave the streets by 5 pm local time to prevent violent clashes between the 2 sides james brown reports now from parliament square. this is the designated meeting place for
8:11 pm
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 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 every coast in the slave trade 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 but only to protect it from any further damage now that decision
8:12 pm
has proved controversial and enlisted 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 wrong you should not have a situation which people who are protesting on one basis are violently attacking the police or 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 6 qantas isn't to board up the statue here in harm's way 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
8:13 pm
a lot of nice touches should be taken down at the guy or the ball itself and but it was i think i just insulted saw that people were living in a bowl that led to be deceiving. meanwhile in the northern city of newcastle scuffles broke out on saturday as 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 anti-racism groups earlier a contributor to the guardian newspaper had suggested taking down the statue claiming it is linked to slavery though he was mocked online as slavery was actually abolished in britain under that premier we gauged people's opinion in the city on that monument. to create a delicious bill for the slavery and look that bill was passed when he was prime
8:14 pm
minister. i don't know or pacific what he was famous he was famous for taking. totally disagree with that he was to take 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. over she generally this should be taken down because nobody likes that you know anything a push to not be as it is causing offense in any leadership of this museum she can have this just you know history sure need i'm sure that some of them probably tuning demolishing but as with so often really situations what starts off as a good thing or tends to go back to. let's state this monument by in its finest and we're not 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 fixed on windy days if the people who. are
8:15 pm
on these wanted to represented on these monuments. a 10 person in slavery call that their own profit then i think it needs to do seriously looked at whether we have them and as points of reference 0 point power. there is concerned the use of tear gas could hugely increase the spread of covert 19 among protesters keep in mind this is all happening amidst a global pandemic the issue has been highlighted in an open letter signed by almost 1300 us public health and medical professionals this comes amid the nationwide protests against racism that has been raging for 2 and a half weeks. oppose any use of tear gas smoke or other respects irritants which could increase risk the coded 19 by making the response tree tractable sceptical to infection exacerbating existing inflammation and in juicing coughing all apart from
8:16 pm
a coronavirus related health concerns there are other issues as well prolonged exposure to the gas or a large dose especially in a closed setting can lead to blindness it can also leave severe chemical burns of the throat and lungs and even deadly respiratory failure but philadelphia's police commissioner still argues riot control agents remain the safest way to disperse crowds the deployment of tear gas was a means to save to diffuse a volatile and dangerous situation and restore order when it became increasingly clear that all the measures when effective in accomplishing that necessary objective mohammad. just add the ukase lancaster university believes 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 cross mentioned and one of the contributing factors for the call of ideas to spread and take the whole world on nice they didn't for 5 months as being
8:17 pm
a stressed retrieval of prosecution so anything that can expose the respiratory tract or create any additional damage to the spirit of traction is something that would certainly have the widest to any trait into the body otherwise we would be probably protected so therefore ready to comes to the street exacting section death and i'm excited caller said really good at keeping the upper respiratory tract healthy is not reported and having to tear gas is certainly not a good choice in a biscuit condition in particular to someone who is infected with a grown up ideas or has asked for money or other cuomo to be ditties in terms of this critic sackings actions over their own community diseases if they were to be under the tear gas or similar kind of or even doc mean that they become feeding more and heart coughing can lead the hardest to trouble you any longer than to meet it is to starting only a joke so this means the widest transmission would be even more having to explore many people in the vicinity i would be little more exposed. with donald trump
8:18 pm
attempting to drum up support ahead of november's election the president is a reiterating his promise to end america's quote endless wars one that after a short break this is r.t.d. international. khalid al khattab international memorial awards has extended its deadline for submissions. all media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist look for alternative media or a part of the global news platform you can submit to your published works in either video. go to award go to auntie dot com and it to know. what we're seeing is a utter divorce an utter bliss from the real economy and the financial
8:19 pm
lives funny money fed driven. that is now taking over the globe this is causing to. be overlord are becoming fabulously wealthy and they are revolting they got a good. we're not sure. to international now donald trump has declared that he isn't going to put an end to endless wars in a speech at the west point military academy on saturday the president also stressed
8:20 pm
that it is not america's job to act as the world's policeman interventionist message was reminiscent of. pronouncements excuse me made during his 2016 campaign we are ending the era. of endless wars it is not the duty of u.s. troops to solve ancient conflicts in faraway lands. that many people have never even heard of. we are not the policemen of the world they've dragged us into foreign wars that make us less they shipped our jobs and wealth to others. and they've last our borders wide open it is a lot of people who voted for trump originally because he was saying that he wanted to end the endless wars but he hasn't he is repeating something that he said since he was campaigning and he hasn't been doing it in the time that we've been here he you know he was amping up the fighting in syria against the government syrian
8:21 pm
government while saying that he was leaving. he's continued to u.s. involvement with the saudi war and yemen which is really a saudi and american war and the people of yemen. he has continued in the drone attacks in iraq and really. expanded the war in iraq afghanistan rather while saying it he was pulling us out i haven't seen that really happen so. i think it's more talk than anything else. 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 u.c.l.a. teacher gordon klein for the final exam to be postponed for them and due to the impact of george floyd's death this was klein's response any idea if any students
8:22 pm
are from minneapolis i assume that they probably are especially devastates is well i'm thinking that a white student from there might possibly be even more devastated by this especially because some might think they were racist even if they're not. well the punishment of klein has forged deep divisions with opposing petitions appearing in response one is demanding he is fired while the other wants the 27 year lecturer reinstated the petition supporting the professor has far more signatures we discussed the issue with author and political analyst m. release everson and political and social issues you tube or blogger anthony 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
8:23 pm
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 that may live in minneapolis feeling a little bit more sympathetic they could be right because that person that brought the complaint to begin with was what he said of course white ally so i mean weber's a black person it came for and say can we take off exams can exams that count because we're going through with thing people don't know this may they're not related to him so how can it really be so overtaken with grief so the point where they 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 seeing 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
8:24 pm
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 and 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 i'm going to use on my hero as a whole thing about about the blackness but not the whole blackness part i mean i come from who you are grew up in the mostly like predominately black area all my life i know what it's like i did like adult bullets most black people come into my window i know what it's all about so there's always thing about oh maybe you don't identify i know are different than if i i know to. grief i know where there were problems of coming from a train from the white man and from the police is from my eyes so when i see people i are grieving for george miller you know ok your mind will do you might you might say you know 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
8:25 pm
own grandma mourner on granddaddy i don't really understand the be issued and that is not accurate either that's not accurate i can't see people in that i 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 extent i don't have a i don't i don't i we can feel maybe a.b.l. you when you see the police maybe if you've been pulled over you're not concerned that they seem black 1st and that you're a man 2nd but many people in this country who walk around you 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 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 it is no need to be you
8:26 pm
know intentionally nasty or intentionally just overly nice to just be rule and what he was doing in a letter was being a rule 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 blacks today's any differently i'm not going to give anybody any kind of special anything because they do skin color thereby going to do same. i will be back in about 33 and a half minutes with another full look at you news you are watching archie international but his reasons were. joining me every. on the alex salmond show i'll be speaking to get out of the world of politics that's less i'm show business i'll see that.
8:27 pm
you care to be bold with the yeah you like. there was a period let's call it the unique polo you know period after the end of the cold war where the u.s. and nato countries and other people sort of wanted russia to become what they described as a normal country before they met by a normal was a country that was democratic by western standards that was capitalists that was a member of u.s. led international rules may still water established by the u.s. i think a lot of people saw that as sort of permanent 2nd class status in the u.s.
8:28 pm
led system and i think it's pretty clear that russia in particular has been pushing back on that. and. i am max kaiser this is the kind of the report this is your cap and speaking we're starting to enter terribly close place fasten your seat it was bruised but. well i think you might be talking about our stock markets these days driven by fed liquidity and well whole bunch of people in america 100 over 100000000 got free money remember and free money what do you do you spend free money though crazy with
8:29 pm
free money it's like walking into the casino and they give you some free drinks and free chips and they say go at it well not a single s. and p. 500 stocks down over the last 10 weeks today was a 3rd straight day with over 6000000000 shares traded on the mass that all of which have been higher than any day in history to put that in perspective from 2009 until 2020 there wasn't even a one day with 5000000000 shares there's no connection between the economy and the stock market now that spot abnormal there's usually a lag between the 2 main street can collapse and then stock market can start moving up based on anticipation of main street or the economy picking up and sometimes the stock market will go down before the economy does because it has this tendency to be a quote discounting mechanism but what we're seeing here is not a discounting of prices based on some fundamental analysis of the economy what we're seeing is an utter divorce an utter split from the real economy and
8:30 pm
the financial ised funny money fed driven casino that is now taken over the globe this is causing 2 things the overlord class are becoming fabulously wealthy and the peasants are revolting we've got a good old passive peasant revolt down america and where that go i'm not sure you know if you look at the bottom 99.9 percent as we've been pointing out over the past few weeks is they are starting to mimic the top like hollowing out the economy looting the economy and that's a way to get wealthy because it does indeed pay off. in our economy for the top one percent especially the top 0 point one percent so you know in particular what we're talking about is hertz and chesapeake energy chesapeake energy as one of these big trackers they start in the natural gas fracking business the what you know they were one of the pioneers of this whole space well when news broke on sunday night
8:31 pm
monday morning that they were going to go bankrupt.
