right here on the news with. you know as we always like to say we do believe. by golly it's time to do news again. 11 in the morning here now so headlining this shooter the 16th of june breaking news to start north korea has destroyed the main diplomatically a some facility it shares with the south in a fresh escalation of tension. headline stocking up in seattle's self declared autonomy as george floyd protesters begin to pressure the police we take a walk through to see what they ultimately hope to achieve. currently standing outside of the police department's east precinct which has been abandoned now. and president trumps all the thousands of troops out of germany accusing the country of not paying its way and nato. is germany playing russian billions of dollars for

energy and then we're supposed to protect germany for america how does that work it doesn't work. good morning for russia this is our c international low for world news h.q. in moscow i'm kevin choosers mentioned more breaking news that's come in within the last hour or so from the korean border demilitarized zone north korea has blown up the main facility there used for diplomatic talks with south korea so he set up a couple years ago the into korean liaison office in the town of kai's song had acted as the defacto embassy the north korean leadership had earlier threatened to that facility just over the last weekend calling it useless for failing to prevent propaganda from defectors in the south it's a sign of the 2 countries rapidly worsening relations than north korea has been complaining in recent weeks more and more about the propaganda. leaflets have been

flowing from the south claiming it's a violation with agreements reached when there is an office was established back in 2018 some defect or groups have been sending flyers by balloon across the heavily fortified border much to the ire of the north the government in the south has taken police action against the groups saying their activities weren't helping efforts to achieve peace and prosperity in the korean peninsula hence seeing what we're seeing this morning this gets before someone is going to go maybe from asia especially as partner i want joining us live hi good morning so what is the north hoping to achieve here by blowing up this place that he said was only set up so recently just 2 years ago. these all of this was a step is to your circle where and can to learn. it in the very 1st time summit in singapore and so we expect to be growing up the. invitation to not just the south korean regime but also to the u.s.

administration ok now in the past 2 months or so we have not the least a consensus rich within the north korean leadership. and sister kim you'll join the screen to offer and actually looks like she has already taken one for the part of this a pretty big issue and to a little. power no this is a very clear message to the whole world if you will not deal with north korea when you say she's taken us in for kim jong il and nor are they both kind of leading the country together what do you mean by that yes they are leaving it to the same time it is also a teacher and. you join these people are going to take you far from kim jong un will never be emergency incident could you all may not be able to continue.

leaders you know of course the big question is where is this going to go next we're hearing this is just a line come in the south korean presidents convened an emergency security meeting after what's happened there last hour of course what's going to happen is it going to escalate is it going to calm down we saw that gunfire on the border which is pretty rare just last month is it going to kick off do you think or is this just the flash in the pan it all quiet down again well i think a couple of days ago. you're already wounded there will be military actions are going south korea and it looks like a lot of good meat on all of these. the 1st step not going to there will be a 2nd or 3rd we don't know but i believe that it will be depends on how the south korean president is going to react to these not so i'm expecting him to south korea and of course they're very concerned that the same time he did mention all the u.s. backup he's also in question because we're not quite sure how is going to try

ministries or he's going to we have to go out and seems determined this regime is quite brutal by call no arrests and all these protests within the country and we still don't know whether we're going to be strong is going to be successful or to be elected leader this year so it looks like the north korean is going to all also taking advantage of peace. but curiously not real and so it looks like the software machine will have to number one step what does john want from this particular time and what does she want from south korea in particular so if you get a better that you're not a betting man but if you were is this going to get worse or better what you think is going to happen in the immediate days now. well i think he will get to speak to these 3 ops. really minor incidents for example. in the north korean territory and also to some gunfire these are

very minor things but also becomes on how the soft core of the. ministry shouldn't handle the situation but began to move. on to a new will how to handle it properly but a hot spot there for so long as they will watch it closely and thank you for your or chip in with your thoughts on a much appreciated age especially as partner wang thank you thank you. rather stories of across today to the northwest united states next to the self declared autonomy in seattle and occupation protest by black lives matter campaigners who moved enough to please move out of their precinct building in the city's capitol hill crowd to building camps and stocking up on supplies suggesting that they are in it for the long haul 1st off an activist zack brzezinski takes this through. when was the last time they used and 2 cities at once to my right is the city of seattle typically dreary monday afternoon. that is the capitol hill autonomous

so it's now becoming known as chat but what exactly are the goals of this community what exactly is trying to be achieved here. let's go check it out. currently standing outside of the police department's precinct which has been abandoned now after a series of protests that devolved into riots the seattle police department decided to be prudent to actually leave the station and so this is become the kind of epicenter for for chaz the capitol hill autonomous zone this absolutely beautiful mural of the recent black lives that have been lost in these protests so i'm currently walking down the north part of pike's street right now and see on the ground we have all sorts of a car that's been put up i think a lot of people been working on this all week. trying to create

a beautiful little space they have here this is the change right here is more restoring a lot of people look at my presidency with the siege is already begun so do you think this is about police brutality or is this more about systemic racism exists now or both couple do you think the goal the chances of what's happening down here the goal is the people this is this is the. only. congress everybody here or part of the goal to bring everybody together i feel like what's going on here is like definitely different go on for some down at cal anderson park right now which has become sort of a living center for the capitol hill a town in the sun you can see in the distance. quite a few tents and people have been setting up and and kind of creating slowly over the last couple days living community. like going way way down think about it

feels like we're not being listened to. and. it's why it's important that the noise be made your guns were kind of. oh well so are you worried about the police coming up in here and trying to bust us out trying to move this thing out. really side of the community garden that's been established here you can see that people are really coming together here establishing an actual permanent garden in the ground i think they're mostly trying to grow food and hopefully the goal of this becoming an actual sustainable community we want to consumerism because it's just feeding into the system even more so explain what you doing here you know what's the closest people. priority is going to look at the people of color people that are in need everything is free there's been some disagreement about what the name of this this area and the

community should be. for a while it was being referred to as the capitol hill autonomy own or chaz but now they've changed the name to the capitol hill organized protest or chop the reasoning behind this is that calling this area and a ton in the stone. could invite more violence from the federal government or from the police and i think it's very obvious town here that nobody wants more violence . people are going to come here. and like protesting our protest we need some sort of protection. and whether that be guns or whether that be our voices we need that the people down here they are not. politicians they're not beaters they are nurses they're teachers they're restaurant workers they are the unheard but they're not rioting they are making music they are making art they are feeding the

homeless they're doing wonderful special things but if the people of the world refuse to listen to the messages that are being spoken down here and they're going to miss out on something very important and very special. zach was and he coming to you from capitol hill seattle thank you for listening. well president made his feelings clear about the handling of the seattle autonomous zone laying the blame squarely at local leaders. have a governor that doesn't do a damn thing about it and you have a mayor that doesn't know she's alive she's talking about it's going to be a love fest this summer you know if they don't do the job i'll do the job and i've already spoken to the attorney general about it but if they don't do the job we will do that. about 10 different things any one of which will solve the problem quickly then there's this video has been circulating online for you to check out

apparently showing a protest how they got assault rifles to mine it's a spot that being very much against the law in washington state sounds like his job i said told me earlier that from what he's saying though so far again those protests have been mostly peaceful. largely quiet what you see looks pretty quiet around juggling somebody filming you over your shoulder. how do you see any trouble . so i think we talk about violence i think it's sort of. what you're on the ground have come to understand for the last 2 weeks the looting and violence started from the heart and they were violent with flash bangs and pray and you know sound can and sometimes so this is the most peaceful life. outspoken told radio host jay perkins told us the campaign is in the occupied zone should expect a tough response so if they keep it up. there's just a variety of stupidity on the level almost an insult to ordinary americans being

exercised and displayed by these in chief of people as they try to pretend that having taken over downtown seattle it is now better run than it was before we see recently they changed their name from autonomous zone to occupied something or other because they're sort of. special independent status as a nation that they were so eager to grasp in the 1st week the reason they're doing this is they've realized that donald trump can put up razor wire around their compound and install border crossing stations and revoke the citizenship of all the people in an autonomous zone and then begin to deal with them as the international independent country they claim to be anyone from the autonomous zone will be deported back there there are all kinds of things that are well with the in common international law that the president could do. other news this morning more than 1000 american troops stationed in germany are to be pulled out president made the

old cues in berlin have been delinquent in its payments to the nato security alliance suggesting it ought to spend more on defense. but the only countries that hasn't agreed to pay what they're supposed to pay is germany so i said until they pay we're removing our soldiers a number of our soldiers by about half the people with money when it comes to well as far as he sees that not paying its way when it comes to nato the u.s. president saying he's ready to remove all of the u.s. troops that are currently stationed in germany now the figure at the forward is around 52000 u.s. troops that's quite a bit high at the official figures we have how many people are stationed. what we suggest is included in there is defense department civilian contractors anyway he wants to see that number could go down 225000 the reason is well donald trump's

nose is being put out of joint by angle of merkel food over 2 key issues one on trade with the us president thinks germany is tress the united states very badly and the other one is when it comes to energy where germany has been buying up quite a bit of its energy from russia but is germany paying russia billions of dollars for energy and then we're supposed to protect germany for america how does that work it doesn't work it is well worth pointing out that even at the height of the cold war west germany as it was there was buying energy from the u.s.s.r. was it was then as well this probably has a lot more to do with donald trump wanting to hawk u.s. l.n.g. liquid natural gas to the european market the issue there though is the l.n.g. is a lot more expensive than russian national natural gas that could be piped directly from russia into germany as is done through the north stream pipeline when it comes

to this announcement over troop withdrawals though it's shrouded in confusion heiko must the german foreign minister said that it's well berlin had not been briefed to what washington intended to do i would see us german relations are difficult as you see that the decision has not been 100 percent coordinated with the united states government it is not surprising that it has not been coordinated with the us either or following the announcement by donald trump the german ambassador to the united states. well correct the us president over the role of those u.s. troops that are stationed here in germany that they're there as part of the nato alliance the transatlantic alliance and said they provide the us with an ability to . project power will fall beyond their borders into play areas like africa into areas like east asia as well well when it comes to what's going to happen to these

troops we still don't know what they said confusion surrounding the whole announcement how being talk of some of these troops being relocated to poland we're going to have to wait to find out exactly what's happens and when we get a little bit more clarity coming from washington. for clarity's on this next story after the break 2 it's 1117 of the morning by the way good morning from the international me kevin though in 2nd wave coronavirus fears in the united states could it happen there's been a worry about it clusters of infections now reporters people ditched distancing the calls or those crowds are now protesting where across it seems with. the take away then from this. where it's a $2000000000.00 negative net worth company worth $400000000.00 and they're issuing

international bankruptcy offering fresh deal of stock they take away the news the information the fact is has nothing to do with the current accompany it what it says is that the dollar is collapsing the dollar has entered a hyper inflationary collapse and this causes people to run into things like fictitious stock markets as we've seen in zimbabwe as we see in venezuela this is what's happening in the united states right now as of today. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business.

good tracking coronavirus in just a bit but not before we've talked about this campaign is digging deep into britain's historical racism are now making calls for the country's leading left wing newspaper to be shut down a 1000 strong petition accuses the guardian of being hypocritical in supporting the black lives matter movement pointing to the fact that the paper was founded from the fortunes of a 19th century cotton merchant used slaves the petition also details how the guardian originally supported confederacy in the american civil war coming out against at the time president lincoln's moves to abolish slavery the paper it is one of the targets getting a racial wake up call in britain right now the war on it from saskia taylor. poor old blighty once an empire that spawned a quarter of the wild land mass and now back to haunt today's generation

you need to be calling the. british. from the scene if you really want to use the b.l.m. movement galvanised like never before people are taking a baseball bat out a few things seen as quintessentially british and the crowd was fast in light. of this. we have a new sovereign young. woman the crown must. know don't worry but jewel is safe so now but queen victoria did get in most on regal ball of to protest as dogs the words slave owner feeds a few subjects suffered the same fate bristol city benefactor a new tory s. slave trader who took up a dip in the harbor to be toppled and then those wooden churchill once proud he looking over at westminster and now boxed up not even the dreaming spies of oxford

escaped unscathed apparently it too must pay penance for the british empire as diabolical costs the university currently high school a new i'm uneasy an inequality must once and for all improve its intake of black and minority ethnic british students and students from countries that the u.k. has colonized and exploited. of the precipitous on historic centers of learning how to also been told to do some serious soul searching they must now decolonized the canon and teach the dangers of white privilege but one staple of british life decided to get ahead of the cover and do some reforming before being hit major t. brands p.g. tips on yours. t. say that racist customers are officially persona non please don't buy o.t. again we're taking some time to educate ourselves and plan proper action before we

post we stand against racism which does rather conveniently gloss over the fact that the origins of the great british white literally rooted in imperial history and that the industry continues to use and to pay workers in india so really no nothing rata oh speaking of which even major t.v. comedies are getting a go over from the reappraisal prison. technological achievement we've had running water for over 10 years underground tunnel that leads us to. david and i have spoken publicly in recent years about regret that we played characters about the races once again we want to make it clear that it was wrong and we are very sorry but you know i think if they banned english while. conversations about it well that that's when britain would truly just pull to

pieces. so coronavirus let's try it the next brazil's become the key focus in latin america's fight over it having now suppose the u.k. in the number of deaths with more than 44000 fatalities brazilians are increasingly taking aim at president bush and his government over what they see as their poor handling of the crisis civil court has got the latest. bodies are piling up in brazil now the country with the world's 2nd highest coronavirus death toll grave diggers are literally unearthing the dead and transporting them somewhere else to make room for new arrivals and understandably the new practice has not gone unopposed. the president of the republic needs to understand that the brazilian people are going through the worst crisis in its history there are thousands of dead breve time lose the ghost of hunger lucan in the homes of for bella residence president gerald also gnarls continued downplaying of the pandemic has left brazil

deeply divided right after activists erected those crosses in protest of the country's high death toll they were destroyed by a supporter of the government one father who lost his son to the coronavirus couldn't stay silent as he passed by the scene. make of other. words likely more intended for balsa noro than the actual vandal since the president seems eager to cover up the country's uncomfortably high death toll a supreme court judge even ordered his administration to resume publishing death statistics after the official site stopped doing so and began wiping information according to paulson 'd r.-o. though the officials were just adapting the information. the health care ministry has adapted the disclosure of data on cases and deaths related to covert 19 the measures allow for more accurate data to be obtained on

a trade he's even encouraging supporters to take covert 19 research into their own hands. those people if there is a field hospital or public hospital need you find a way to get in there and film lots of people are doing this and more need to do it to show whether beds are in use or not. but many experts believe the real situation is far worse than the government is letting on official stats say that rio de janeiro's had 40000 cases of the virus however independent research is in the country say that number is more likely as high as half a 1000000 at the same time the university of washington says brazil will surpass the u.s. in per capita deaths by me july nevertheless thousands of balls and all supporters are marching on the streets calling for an end to the lockdown as the country faces creeping unemployment. in english with a movement with merchants from all over so small ones to businesses generating jobs in the city i was a peaceful protest to raise awareness among local authorities towards the need to

reopen businesses in a conscious and responsible way. we are being barred from working sure coming 19 is out there who need to live with it until we find a definitive q work be that a vaccine or something else we're desperately asking our leaders to let us go back to work one could say this is a low point of the pandemic for brazil who knows what new threats polson are will face as the death toll continues to spiral out of control and who knows what he'll do if it means staying in power. well talk of uncertainties concerns over a 2nd wave of infections in the world's worst affected country rising pockets so over increases being reported in the united states as the country rushes to reopen from lockdown with people abandoning distancing and of course all those crowds. nationwide so it is say it's making conditions right then for a resurgence over 20 states and registering a rise in cases among the most affected to texas know so know which say hospital

beds are filling rapidly since the pandemic started the u.s. has registered a total of $2100000.00 cases now professor william schaffner from the vanderbilt university school of medicine says there are simple reasons why coated is coming back. 2 things happen almost at the same time we started to open up and these demonstrations occur now that things are opening up but we are seeing more cases again and that's because people at least in the united states many of them are not wearing their masks they are not observing 6 foot distancing and they're going to large gatherings where people come together and that's a wonderful place for the coven virus to be transmitted some people call it a 2nd wave that's fine with me because we see an increase in cases whatever you name it we're seeing more cases and we know why it's happening and we are better

equipped now but still it only take lunch for us so many patients that we would have a great deal difficulty providing them good care and death rates would go up on trade i'm not sure whether our response is ever will be that strong as they are for example in china or south korea. we'll talk about our part of the world a bit of breaking news and remind you of the start of the program with from north korea on the border of the south north korea's blown up the main facility there used for diplomatic talks with the south in the demilitarized border zones morning in securing the azan office as it's called in the town of k song had acted as the defacto embassy since 2018 the south korean government is right now a holding a top security meeting of what's happened the north korean leadership how the earlier threatened at the weekend to destroy the facility saying it was useless for failing to prevent propaganda from defectors in the south we'll keep you posted

then you can keep track of that as well at r.t. dot com and on our social media here in moscow is kevin owen and the rest of the team on duty saying thank you for watching this update whatever you're up to really watching have a great tuesday were. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront ation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. some control for a middle class to who most of the night muslim are very hardworking people who want to get ahead that have either have some some health issues or have some of it out

of strict about luck a full time job won't always pay for a place to live and missing just a month's rent can get you a victim to gunpoint if anything bad happens to any thing that just throws your budget off slightly. you better catch up real quick or you're going to have a judgment of possession against you and get addicted to anyone that's homeless is history like garbage people look at you like a monster or someone bad or you chose to be there most of the time it's not the case see how it is to be paul in the world's richest country. seemed wrong. but old old just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out these days to come to advocate and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart.
