racism something must be done so corporate and political elites and decided it's time to change corporate logos and advertising and jim i'm a pancake mix made by pepsi corp is going to be changed more people have flipped over and joe myers band and many other pancakes in the world we recognize and origins are based on a racial stereotype while we're. has been done over the years to update the brand where realize those changes are not enough and your mind was based on nancy green a beloved african-american storyteller was born in slavery but rose to become a talented entrepreneur in the post civil war years there was something about it and to my mother the call for angela my mother to be changed has been building on social media for a long time did you know the founder chris wright a white man again the name after attending the michelle show they black face did

you also know he hired former slave nancy grace that he has very much amana where she went around to the case and tell the people stories of the good ole sad and the as they did say how about surviving her and the feeling of having their very own mammy backlashes matter people. even over this some say it's far from racist to have the image of a black person on a food product list of brands changing their logos is growing. amid all the protest and public outrage it seems that images symbols and monuments have become the focus of so much public discussion.

politicians are eager to make grand gestures for those who wish to we will now kneel for a moment of silence. just a time. purpose to seize and to listen and heal now is the time for racial justice but will this solve the actual issue behind the protests the conditions facing africa. in america it's symbolic gestures that the corporations and some government entities are involved it's not going to be enough to win a social stability in the united states and its coming period these and that the issues that brought millions of people into the streets the government needs to address institutional racism in the united states it has to address the militarization of the police to demilitarize law enforcement officials the protests are not about images and symbols they're about economic injustice police chokeholds

mass incarceration and much more addressing the issues that have spawned decades of racial unrest in the united states would require some very big dramatic shifts the very foundations of u.s. society might need to be altered so why is the media focused on cohen every products it would mop an artsy new york. from packaging to choose to street names when just taking the murky racist past in many communities seems to have left traces everywhere next case in point liverpool maybe in northwest england one target now is a street well known there to fans of the beatles but it's unfortunately also being linked to an 18th century slave trade and to seeing whether the city is going to have to face the music or not is probably boy. i am in liverpool a famous port city and the city's famous i mean the last place.

so this is the penny lane which is immortalized in that beatles song with its. suburban skies these signs were defaced during a recent black lives matter protest someone wrote racist over the top of it and scribbled out the penny and the reason big there's some confusion over where the name of this street even comes from some people think that it's linked to a slave trade called james penny who believed in operated out of liverpool but the international slavery museum here in liverpool says that the evidence linking james penny to penny lane is inconclusive and moreover some people point to the fact that some money show penny lane owned the map some 20

or 30 years before james penny even made it into liverpool the liverpool city region mag has caused around our by saying that even if there is some connection between this street and the old slave trade or james penny. then the street will be renamed i just wanted to ask if you think that penny lane should be renamed if it is found to be linked to slavery too should be renamed snow we're told everybody let's change the name there to use the. change to get the people to kill child slavery that's a call to little pills possible which will tilt the system we call to global utilities being told i don't think they should change it because i would like to do it history isn't it i'm like it's not directly aimed at anyone in my. the main ones i think it should be up for historical reasons so i think it's not well it's up to just the people of the field really to do with

a song that's musical over stockholm in a particular song about the beatles they are just talking to a lady who lives here and she's a resident and she says that the reason it's called penny lane isn't to do with the slave there whose name is pony is to do with the bridge which is right here and he would be charged a penny to cross in. that's why it's called turning lane apparently this is the bridge that some of the residents say is actually the reason penny lane is named penny lane you think of penny lane don't think of slavery don't think it's old you think of the beatles made car new they appropriated it themselves and it's pretty lame belongs to the beatles now there's an imbalance in the pool anymore what you think about changing penny lane is the only children away from. anybody into showing up one should or should that be the popular show now 50 years ago but he was offended by it with the short not sure but it tells you it's about your. head

white airbrushing the facts today sets the world up to repeat the same failures he goes down of takes a look at some of the reaction. now in the article which by the way initially was published in english loma putin desex history looking at what events and decisions made the 2nd world war possible and what the world today can learn from those mistakes and the key narrative of that piece is that essentially there's a dangerous tendency nowadays to brush aside to all the look the massive role that the soviet union played in defeating the nazi germany the peace which balances between praise and criticism towards all nations that fought fascists and nazis including the soviet union which received its fair share of criticism from the russian president as well vitamin porton essentially says that history should be preserved as it is with all of its mistakes and things done right disagrees you can

insulting the memory is mean meanness can be deliberate hypocritical and pretty much intentional as in the situation when declarations commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of the 2nd world war mentioned all participants in the anti hitler coalition except for the soviet union meanness can also be bloody as in the situation when those who come out against neo nazis and darragh successors are killed and burned once again meanness can have different manifestations but this is not make it any less disgusting now this is quite an obvious reference to a tweet back from may when the official white house twitter account posted praises to everyone except the soviet union for defeating nazi germany that tweet was enough to cause a huge outrage both online and especially here in russia where i'm appalled and also floated in a dia of a summit of the 5 nuclear states there is russia the united states the u.k. france and china according to the russian president this could be

a good and productive format for these countries and for the world in general to overcome whatever differences there. currently are between the countries and in general the russian president has emphasized that such international institutions like the united nations for instance while imperfect they are key for nations to be resolving their differences on the international arena the calls that have been made quite often in recent years to abolish the veto power to deny special opportunities to permanent members of the security council actually irresponsible after all if that happens the united nations would in essence become the league of nations a meeting for empty talk without any leverage on the world processes would end it is well known the united nations commenting on the article said that the group with the criticism from the russian leader and judging by the fact that again it was published in english and judging by its sheer length and by how thorough it is

clearly getting his message across getting this message across is really important for vladimir putin. getting pupils back to school after the lockdown is seeing government and teachers in england begin you know leaders in education committee and police faced each other in a hot turn but online social wednesday it a standoff over when it's safe or not to restart classes now and why is it every time i see a teacher you don't see that you know saying schools are unsafe to open schools and it's open and pain has been run where are you going to not. fear into parents about the idea that kids walk to school has come across the parents of these schools are destroyed violently important children return to school as quickly as possible and sorry to do so. out of our awareness because it didn't tell them to they can open. while difficult any school any income today schools need to take care of the issues in relation to the health and safety there were always around to do that this is

a new risk which presents itself in the context of school winery opening so why is it that children parents can have access to pry mark over the next few months where many of them won't have access to schools even have a quarrel with the risk assessments of being down in schools and i said girl initiated take it live s b i i've never been so frustrated in my entire life sitting in this committee listening to what's being said as for the any you running a political campaign which came through all m.p.'s in boxes to basic make sure schools did not reply oh i just think it's absolutely disgraceful. schools across the u.k. shot in march in the lockdown to reduce the spread of coronavirus while schools in scotland or wales plan to reopen later this month it is a patch of picture england some primary and secondary schools were back on june the 1st but the majority of educational facilities are not expected to fully reopen until september at the earliest child health experts are also pressuring education authorities and unions to get

hello and welcome to cross talk or all things are considered i'm peter labelle speaking to west point graduates trying to say we're ending the air of endless war 4 years ago on the campaign trail he said sensibly the same thing why is it so difficult for this president to make good on this promise why make the promise again if it can't be kept. to cross uk and us war i'm joined by my guest james doubtless in washington he's a retired. u.s. diplomat and former foreign policy advisor to the us senate republican leadership and in new york we have lighter he is a professor emeritus of political science at rector's university is well as an adjunct senior research analyst at the institute of war and he studies at columbia university are i generally last of girls in effect i mean you can jump in and you

and i also appreciate ok james let me go to you 1st on this huge you were on cross talk during the campaign essentially during the election and after the election and what we were caught our eye mostly about trams candidacy was his willingness to rethink some of the pillars of american foreign policy and i was excited about i have to say that i know you were too and i think there was a national interest article that had his name on it but i think there were a lot of people that had their fingerprints on that article and we talked about it it was a little odd but it is moving in some right directions here you know and now we have the president we can go speaking to graduate right trent's and west point and he's saying something that he said during the campaign was far as i'm concerned that's unkept promises and i am not disappointed he wants to keep you know that promise out there again because we already heard from james your reaction oh you're right it is the man kept.
