police to stop using tear gas and other demonstrators such tactics could increase the risk of transmission. broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our teacher national thomas certainly. the mayor of seattle has responded furiously to a threat by donald trump to deploy the military to her city to break up an autonomous zone set up by black lives matter protesters. 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 a was formed at the beginning of the week by black lives matter activists they barricaded themselves inside 6 blocks in the center of seattle and declared a police free area activist deseret de loach 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 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 for the 1000000000 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 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 communities where it's needed the most and so that is definitely a goal of people. i would say the number one. 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 streets and what they called a silent protest the rally came on the same day as a federal judge ordered officers to temporarily stop using tear gas or pepper spray against of 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 says that he also has the figures to back it up or he's no harvey spoke to. 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 context a 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 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 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. just on some programs other than 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 some law enforcement and then asked law enforcement do the same exact work just to be very good. and unrest isn't just in the united states it is spreading globally as well thousands of anti-racism demonstrators that gathered in the center of paris on saturday to protest against police brutality and widespread discrimination. the protest called by the black lives matter movement 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 coronavirus related ban on gatherings of more than 10 people police tried to disperse 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 here 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 you know this is a special day for us because we're showing our support for the families of those who post the way 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 colors and 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 there's always another side of the coin $10000.00 officers took to the streets of paris on friday against new government measures to ban chokeholds during arrests. law enforcement marched along the seans l.s.a. 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 this comes after the french interior minister banned police from using chokeholds in

arrests describing it as a dangerous method but the general secretary of the french police union is refusing to budge. on this while the statement by christopher customary this monday is unacceptable he was talking about ben in choke holes in the rest but this is used or an identification just like i and my colleagues were taught 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 custom issued revise the current stance on this and confirm in the 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. far right demonstrators gathered in central london on saturday claiming that they were rallying to defend a statue of winston churchill which was recently defaced by anti-racism activists

some of the protesters clashed with police and black lives matter supporters but a warning you might find in some of the following images disturbing. thank you very much was . was was. james brown reports now on the unrest in central london. 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 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 edward cost 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 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 it tacky 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's locals think about civics can decision to board up the statue here in harm's way i guess people are here to defend certain statues and i support people defended you know you support people trying to take you down so i try to look at things from both perspectives there's a lot of good to. the heart of a lot of these issues should be taken down at the guy or the ball itself and by that process i think you should be thinking that this isn't so good for the people who are living in that world where they have to be the cd. 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 defended from anti-racism groups earlier a contributor to the guardian newspaper ad suggested taking down the statue claiming that it is linked to slavery though he was mocked online and slavery was actually abolished in britain under that premier we gauged people's opinion in the city on that monument. that to create a delicious bill. the slavery on the. bill was passed when he was prime minister. pacific what he was famous both he was famous for taking. totally disagree with that he was to. get 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 to see you know anything a push to not be as it is causing offense in any leadership before this museum she can have this just you know history show named i'm sure that some of them probably do need demolishing but as with so often a situations what starts off as a good thing for tends to go back to. let's take this monument by its finest and one that would talk in question found was taken down it wouldn't be reassessed because it could still put in some heritage site which thoughtful safety if he's in a book you need a name in website if he can be safe online days if the people who. are on these wanted to represented on these condiments. attacking the person in slavery call that their own profit and i think it needs to do seriously looked at

whether we have them and as as points of reference of point power. there is concern the use of tear gas could hugely increase in the spread of covert 19 among protesters the issue has been highlighted in an open letter signed by almost 1300 u.s. public health and medical professionals this comes amid of the nationwide protests against racism that has been raging on for 2 and a half weeks now. oppose any use of tear gas smoke or other respect irritants which could increase risk for coated 19 by making the response tree tractable sceptical to infection exacerbating existing inflammation and in juicing coughing apart from coronavirus related health concerns and 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 on 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 tea gas was a means to save to diffuse a volatile and dangerous situation and restore order when it became increasingly clear that while the measure has been effective in accomplishing that necessary objective. mohamad. the u.k.'s lancaster university believes concerns about the current use of tear gas are justified. actually then we look on to the display issue track inspection they are very easy to be cross mentioned and one of the contributing factors for the call of honesty surprised and take the whole word on nice they didn't for 5 months as being used to treat us through treatment of transmission so anything that can expose the respiratory tract or create any additional damage to the disorder tracks is something that was certainly how to divide us to any trade into the body otherwise we could probably be

protected so therefore ready to construct a straight exacting section dampened i'm excited caller said really good at keeping the other rescues track healthy is not what i'm told and having to tear gas is certainly not a good choice in this good condition in particular so someone who is infected with a groan about us or has asked for money or 'd other cuomo to be ditties in terms of this for tracking sections or other our community diseases if they want to be under the tear gas or similar kind of type or even doc mean that david because the more and heart coffee can elect the lightest to trouble you any longer than to meet it is to study not only absorb so this means the lightest transmission would be even more handy explore many people in the vicinity would be little more exposed. with donald trump attempting to drum up support ahead of november's election the president is in reiterating his promise to end america's quote endless wars more on that after a short break this party tonight. there

was a period let's call it the uni polar 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 what they meant by normal was a country that was democratic by western standards now it was capitalists now it was a member of u.s. led international rules based order established by the u.s. i think a lot of people saw that as sort of permanent 2nd class status in the u.s. system and i think it's pretty clear that russia in particular has been pushing back on that.

and welcome back this is our team international donald trump has declared that he is going to put an end to quote and less wars in a speech at the west point military academy on saturday the president also stressed of that it is not america's job to act as the world's policeman the anti interventionist message was reminiscent of pronouncements that he made during his 2016 campaign we are ending the era. of endless wars it is not the duty of u.s. ships just salvation conflicts and faraway lens. that many people have never even

heard of. we are not the policemen of the world they've dragged us it to foreign wars that make us less they shipped our jobs sidwell's to other countries and our borders wide open it in 2016 trump made the same promises to the american people and he was elected partly because of that because the american people are getting very tired of the endless war that's gone on since $911.00 and watching their tax dollars go to the military while they don't have jobs while they don't have housing proper housing while they don't have medicare so they voted him into in large numbers for a trauma but he failed to deliver he today the us is still mired in the so-called endless wars what trump is doing is he's focusing inward and he is at the

same time at tacking international institutions and attacking the very idea of multilateralism so he is trying to appeal to a certain constituency and his speech to the west point grads of isolationists in the usa. is an interesting one for you 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 kline for the final exam to be postponed for them due to the impact of george floyd's death this was klein's response any idea if any students from minneapolis i assume that they probably are especially devastates as well i'm thinking that a white student from there might possibly be even more devastated by this especially because some might think that they're racist even if they're not. but the punishment of klein has forged deep divisions with opposing petitions appearing

in response one is demanding that he is fired while the other wants the 27 year lecturer reinstated the petition supporting the professor has far more signatures as of now we discussed the issue with author and political analyst and reese everson and a political and social issues that you tube or at a 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 that someone in his position would be a 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 where

was a black person that 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 and 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 email better professor same 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 i'm going to use on my hero as a horrible about the blackness but not the whole blackness part i mean i come from the hood i'm from our group 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 know how to rule. grief i know what the real problems are coming from a change 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 right 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 could be group or for weeks people at worst people give you more for george florida and it would for their own grandmama want to own grandaddy i don't really understand the b. issue 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 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 see 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 those are 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 there is no need to be you know intentionally nasty or intentionally just overly nice to just be rule 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 blacks today's any differently i'm not going to give anybody any kind of

special anything because they do skin color their behavior to do same. that does it for me this i'll be back in about let's say 33 minutes with a full look at your news this is going to trash this. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get a little the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i know no crowd. no shots. actually felt. let me stress

nope it was 12. points your thirst for action. the world is driven by a dream shaped past and present those but. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. oh. they can come and blow our brains out at any given time and we can't really do anything actually america is the only country in the world where you can kill

people outside of war and legally get away with. all the fire crawls stillbirth all the trouble here's the fail the point it's hollow flying to k.k.k. exists because america wants it to exist they are the biggest terrorist group to ever operate in this country and they're dead. i mean they're worse off than the people who destroyed the world trade centers or the scroll why. why. why. oh why would tend to people up leave them for i would judge of people. that eat no problem look at people. you meet will you day when

you step busts out of the stores you must realize who you are fighting over whoa whoa whoa i'm gets no 100 up prices go up the price yet. you know no front plug you are an end of pain and you are an idiot. only table we have the right your guns we sort of mean just so that people understand you know the small window what's out there in the next world. but you're not going to focus a lot it's the most ubiquitous gun out there most police departments use it but whatever gun you want to learn how to use the doors open will teach you what i mean when i used to tell my teachers to go get paid if i learn or not to law isn't really caring if i put you learn as you will get paid.
