5:03 am
pose an immediate threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer we appreciate it we come in the d.a.'s office for charging these officers appropriate . but that's just one. step 2 is conviction this isn't like a celebration or a victory laugh of watching these officers get charged. nobody's having nobody's celebrating because this never should have happened it is health it everything falls out how nice the fall out of the house is i charged right how serious. it is. what if it hadn't seen this for myself but after everything they felt is back here. what he went through. with traumas weighing in he's hoping the accused officer is too to justly as he put it adding that brooks should not have resisted arrest and would be gets
5:04 am
a fair shake because police have not been treated fairly in our country they have not been treated fairly but again you can't resist a police officer like that and they ended up in a very terrible disagreement and look at the way it looked in the way it ended very bad very bad so the officer who fatally shot brooks was also accused of covering up the shooting of a black man who stole a truck back in 2050 according to court documents no seen by britain's guardian newspaper the man survived at the time but suffered a collapsed lung at the time the officers failed to report that they'd open fire. loz mother protesters staged a so-called die in protest by lying down in front of the atlanta police department to symbolize the lives taken by offices brooks shooting came as race relations with america's police were already at rock bottom following the killing and subsequent riots over the death of george floyd. indeed at least 8 officers have resigned from
5:05 am
the atlanta police department this month a private group that works on crime prevention in the city says it is because of low morale just one of the reasons behind similar mass resignations across the country. oh. you know every now and then maybe we have to do we have to begin to look at whether or not an individual is suitable for the job of being a police officer because there's this great expectations from individuals who up all these jobs and wish them to do awful and if you can do it tell us and then that's fine i think what has happened is that given that the incidents that they've
5:06 am
been involved in here and across the country have now come to light. the public everybody is noticing these acts of violence death police officers on bob dylan and yet they get away with it there's no accountability. no one is punished and so. it's about time the number there we're getting rid of those individuals who really don't want to work and be say and provide. public safety to our community. next over to seattle where there is an occupation protest in a police free zone them as announced that officers will only enter an urgent life threatening cases lives matter campaigners have been holding the capitol hill organize protest all chopped for short for more than a week they moved in when police moved out of the precinct building and this video to show you it's been circulating online check it out showing
5:07 am
a protester apparently handing out assault rifles young people to minus that's very much against them or in washington state all that said activist zach but since he though again walked through the latest overnight area claiming that as. he sees it this is mostly peaceful. this little community is already sprouting up in ways that some of us never even imagined the main focus now being a set of concrete pillars and pliers being set up in the streets by the city itself in order to help the protesters be established here. what is it like around here at night what exactly is going on let's go see what's happened.
5:08 am
in the past past few nights those hear the word feelings of anxiety and fear about a white supremacist group called the proud boys best time goes by you'll get set up here there's more there's there's more people and the feeling of community and feeling of safety is becoming a lot more prevalent we have got a facebook page we've had a website i have donations from greece from jamaica all around the world we've been feeding people for 12 days and as long as this keeps going and we are funded we'll continue to feed these people and after this ends we're looking into continuing this that there's claims that it's just the summer of love and there's people being crazy all over none of that is true there's no crime the attitude during the night is the same as the day it's not just a summer of love it's not just about 30 people are down here to protest this is the area where the city is actually brought down some concrete blocks that you can see near me and the black lives matter protesters and every one down here is actually
5:09 am
set up some of these wooden blocks on top of the concrete where everyone has just been creating are they say oh there are armed guards everywhere. that's not true these are americans a lot of times they're expressing their 2nd and their rights there are armed border guards there are people who watch the border to make sure that. you know we don't have anybody coming to do things they're bad. behind ours more going to be here tonight. why did you come away ok man well i hear what your example is the people of you need my support and i feel like we all need to rally like around a single cause so that way we can actually get some progress made it. worse across america it's been a problem for. decades now that we get that mantle a lot of it because a lot of if your family members are going away you know may have been in prison it wasn't too long ago down here that people were there were riots the police were being violent there were rumors of white supremacists more and more as the days go
5:10 am
on as you'll get more comfortable setting up here i think the real message about happening becomes more and more obvious which is exactly what's behind me in this city we believe black lives matter no human being is illegal science is real and love is the way. to keep an eye on the truck in this next a french nurse has been released from police custody after video of a violent arrest during tuesday's nationwide health care workers protest spot widespread anger she still expected to appear in court in september though having been charged now with rebellion well this is the moment in the seuss called for read it was forcibly seized by several riot offices the police said she'd been thrown projectiles out the free to says she's been left traumatized by the way she was treated a rally was swiftly organized in his support. this is a coverage of. the fear that was arrested during that housework is precisely that
5:11 am
some place in paris seized by now she's being named as for me diana said to be from the abstract of the city it's now it's such a house factional for some 17 year. is that she was taking part in those protests have taken place at his restaurant to demand increased salaries most often idle money in general for cyrus that many been saying for a long time is on a knife said chair in front of videos on social media showed that the moment that she was arrested with offices charging towards her. there is a huge and go over the way that she was apprehended it said that for rita suffered a broken rib cuts to her face and she was seized by her head during that arrest now video also shows a cooling for some sort of breathing device and she couldn't breathe. through
5:12 am
citigroup her right to do it later took to twitter in defense of her mother who said she needed a ventilator because she's asked smart tick. this woman is my mother she's 50 years old a nurse she worked for 3 months between 12 and 14 hours a day she had to call the 19 she was demonstrating so that your sorrow would be erased those who work would be recognized she is a smart she has her uniform on she is on the one meter 55 tall supporters feel free to say that this is the latest example of police brutality and they have had enough it is critical to say that if we find the conditions a far readers harassed scandalous there was no reason for her detention this really was a disproportionate use of force. to israel. to israel the police always promote protesters and the police crackdown every time and now we have a few 2 year old woman even if she threw a stone this does not deserve being thrown to the ground system so i want to say
5:13 am
yes it's sadly what happened was not the 1st time you see police threatening stopping people from trying to peacefully leave a demonstration under the pretense of wanting to isolate a few individuals to end up terrorizing everyone there. they say for a reader who is it makes it being overcome with anger at the end of the demonstration crackdown that her reaction was normal given what's been destroyed by so many people here as provocations by the police during that protest. elsewhere campaigners across britain took the neo wednesday in the latest show solidarity there for the black lives matter movement recent weeks have taken an emotional toll on many so now the oxford university is offering to help students whose example formants may be affected so they can apply for mitigating circumstances there's been pressure from campaigners at the university who said watching the video of officers killing floyd had left black students traumatized. we share our concerns
5:14 am
about the traumatic effect of the brutality which killed george floyd and which is him and his station of institutionalized racism any students take a. university assessments who feels their performance has been a fact it should submit a south assessment mitigating circumstances for him after their final examination or assessment campaigners in the university of also been pushing to remove a statue of sessile rhodes a 19th century colonialist and the prime minister of south africa's cape colony in his day have long argued that the monument glorifies racism is an insult to oxford black students we talked to people in london who broadly welcome the university's sympathetic response but some also suspected too that maybe it was going a little bit too far in their opinion. it should be taken into consideration because this is a global thing that's going on i think that's take it too much into account because if life still go evil where we're about the death of obviously orrible death you
5:15 am
know they should be put under that pressure while the krona going on i don't agree as much or because people are going to line even the say oh yeah i'm affected by it and to go off basic to such really this really does affects a lot of members of society and actually is something which i can understand would affect people and i see it should be taken into account so you know i say save us i see reason taking is it the guy all day in america you know i don't think yeah when you can use a student here actually. broadcast around the world to proudly broadcast him from russia this is r.t. international thank you for watching us now coming up the pressure is on at an international level to get the united states to sort out systemic racism and police brutality on the way the calls for un inquiry about it all and urgent talks of the human rights council in geneva.
5:16 am
we go to work some straight home. let's say. the guy down the block from or you. is counterfeiting mining and he's by and stuff be he created an extension honest house he bought a new boat he got a new car for 5 year cars he bought another new boat he brought a lot of jewelry he's live in a large would you say the wealth on that street is disproportionately
5:17 am
heading into that guy's house because he's able to counterfeit money and spend that money would you say that i mean that's not hard to comprehend. again the un human rights council has an urgent debate on wednesday over systemic racism and police brutality in the us following the killing of george floyd the meeting was called by the west african nation of mccain a fast so and so multinational concerns being raised but one notable absence all that said was that there was no one present from the united states that you might find some strange kind of mope and reports next on it. racial unrest in the united states has prompted 54 african countries to call on the un human rights council they want the international body to look into racism and police brutality in the
5:18 am
united states and beyond this if it meant that i was the tragic events may 25th in minneapolis and the u.s. which lay. the death of george floyd lots of protests around the world against injustice and police brutality the persons of african descent face on a daily basis in many regions of the world with death of george floyd is unfortunately not an isolated incident we believe the situation in the united states warrants urgent country specific intervention and that a thematic global investigation is also in order the family of george floyd has also called on the un to get involved george floyd's brother made an urgent appeal at a landmark u.n. debate my brother joe my brother is one of the many bad may in women that have been mayor bob brown is raising any of i have an exit you know to help him i'm acting you know i don't mean i have anything you know. but i had people in america the data has already been collected black people in the united states are 2 and
5:19 am
a half times more likely to be killed by police than whites and they are far more likely to be killed by police tasers and outrage over these deaths has been dragging on and building up for decades. the response from u.s. officials was to hail their own country's supposed transparency and then to make a they'll dig at those who criticize them we call upon all governments to demonstrate the same level of transparency and accountability that the united states nor democratic party are spragg this that the usa did not participate in the
5:20 am
debate on racism u.s. representatives weren't there why the united states has withdrawn. on from the un human rights council in response to criticism of israel we take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights and that trend of putting pressure on international bodies continues states is now threatening sanctions against the international criminal court because it dared investigate the actions of u.s. troops in afghanistan but will not stand by as our people are threatened by a kangaroo court and indeed i have a message to many close allies around the world your people could be next the united states likes to think of itself as the policeman of the world and just like the police at home the united states isn't too excited about being expected to follow the same rules that it claims to go around the world in forcing caleb mup an
5:21 am
artsy new york. new and now washington is being accused of economic terrorism by syria after tough new sanctions have been unveiled to dissuade foreign firms from doing business that the musk says the new restrictions are directed against the syrian people and violate all possible international rules the flip side the u.s. 2nd to state ones this is just the start today we begin a sustained campaign of sanctions against the assad regime under the cesar act which authorizes severe economic sanctions to hold the assad regime and its foreign and neighbors accountable for their brutal acts against the syrian people u.s. officials because we're here to do produce the goods because of their sanctions that the economics of the syrian people has become so complicated by the state because most of the surge was imposed in egypt illegitimate gives the syrian leadership you can further or do that as long or of all countries like the syria us double dealing with the pandemic. imposing more sanctions is generally human
5:22 am
so the wide ranging serious sanctions known as the cesar act focus on the military as well as all and gas production and reconstruction will also allow for sanctions on for individuals or entities providing support politically or in business and banking and the us is also blacklisting more people it accuses of human rights violations including now the syrian president's wife and sister and his cabinet but in an already battered economy syrian citizens think these new sanctions will only make their plight even worse. when we are young and how he got used to being sanctioned a long time ago so i don't think that anything will change in my life. they claim that this is in favor of the syrian people but i wonder how does it benefit the poor getting poorer well the research getting richer everything that hurts people is just increasing. the situation is currently very bad the prices of all
5:23 am
commodities have increased the united states is sanctioning us in all fields and only the syrian people are affected no one takes this into account so else to bear in mind here to the move see you somewhat at odds then with the president recent declaration just a few days ago that it's not america's job to police the world. it is not the duty of u.s. ships of ancient conflicts in faraway lens. that many people have never even heard of. we are not the policemen of the world. so what is the logic here the most trying to get a handle on it for middle east analyst hello nice to see you today so the u.s. is accusing the syrian government of violating the rights of the syrian people ok so therefore the answer to that is to impose sanctions surely that's going to hurt them or isn't it what's the plan here. well the same plan in venezuela you know a couple of years ago the american president in front of the you in assembly in his
5:24 am
speech he said there are problems in venezuela because of the regime so to speak and that's why we are going to get more even more sanctions so the real target is the syrian people an average salary for a syrian employee was about between $8900.00 in 2008 in 201-2012 pre-crisis is now worth about $25.00 and this is all not only because of the sanctions we need to understand but also because of the american presence in oil rich and agricultural rich in water rich areas of syria preventing the syrian government from harnessing their riches so this is a war the way syrian see it inside syria is that this is a war against them it's depriving them of their riches it deprived them of resources they can't do anything with it and the economic situation is declining for them further you mentioned venezuela just now let's not forget iran as well
5:25 am
again under severe sanctions but if you take the the country it's not change the way the incumbent government there is change what they're going to do despite the sanctions so why should it be any different in syria. or it's going to be any different because it's not the government who is making or calling on. shots it's also the syrian people we need to understand that it was the syrian people or at least part of the syrian people who stood against a certain project of deforming the state changing the nature of the state and so on and so forth these people now feel they are being punished on a daily basis it's their bread and butter they kind of do it anymore they cannot sustain it anymore and what is happening with this new law we need to understand it's not directly so for affecting the syrian lives or economic welfare but actually it's preventing other countries either it's dark it it with other countries who are either already cooperating with the syrian state or north who who
5:26 am
are thinking of it like the u.a.e. like other gulf states are states even european states there is a huge stick that the united states is currently waving at all these countries you know be wary of dog you shouldn't be at all on the same breath we've got of president doing on the same breath of mine should we go president from saying it's not america's job to police the world. so why is he doing this. not not america's job to sort of problems actually to aggravate problems look at this is the american presence in a sea of in eastern and northeastern syria i can assure you that none of the u.s. soldiers operating there has any visas on their passports syrian visas that is what they are they doing there or they are encouraging separatist movements they are depriving the majority of the syrian people of the riches and people how can they feed themselves you have excessive electricity cuts because people don't have access to oil fields you have a syria is now importing wheat instead of exporting greed and so on you know that
5:27 am
this thing goes on and on and on on and this has not been. something that just happened there it was by active you as intervention in that area let us all remember. a u.s. attack on syrian forces is a term of 1016 that was specifically designed to get syrian troops out our curve middle east leave it there but thank you for your time and your input will follow that story closely. and thank you for watching us to that's where things look in so far this thursday unity is always so much more in our main side are common and there is social media to. day 27 moscow time reporting from here i'm kevin 0 in thanks for watching and have a great day. is
