moving ahead with prosecuting 2 canadians on spying charges details in a full reporter straight ahead all right it's time to extend these i knew. we start this hour with breaking news one of the 3 little bill police officers involved in the shooting death of briana taylor will soon be fired the mayor announced that the metro police is initiating the terminations of officer brett hankinson he's accused of blindly firing 10 rounds into taylor's apartment which resulted in her death 26 year old taylor and e.m.t. worker was shot by officers inside her residence on march 13th as they entered to serve a no knock warrant this comes as the nation continues to protest for police reform and to push forward. black lives matter movement. and today is

juneteenth day marking the historic day in $865.00 when all slaves were set free americans are celebrating with rallies taking place across the whole country but this year is especially significant as protests against police brutality and racial injustice continue and new reports of military planes spying on demonstrators artie's vera fronsac is joining us now outside of freedom plaza where the crowds are gathering for what's going on there. you're absolutely right there's actually a big crowd that's going to spectate here at 3 pm and we'll be live then to take you where exactly there but here at freedom plaza you know again just blocks away from the capitol behind me this is one of the many areas in washington d.c. where you're going to have a lot of rallies and gatherings you also had marches past the national museum of african-american history rallies in front of the capitol reflecting pool and gatherings at the newly named black lives matter plaza in front of the white house now this all happening as we enter a 3rd week of police brutality protests before the rallies here at the capitol

house speaker nancy pelosi ordering the take down of portraits honoring 4 previous house speakers who actually served in the confederacy pelosi calling juneteenth quote a beautiful and proud celebration of freedom for african-americans and noted that this year's celebration during a moment of extraordinary national anguish as we grieve for the hundreds of black americans killed by racial injustice and police brutality including george floyd briana taylor and amid our berry and so many others now with these protests of the day today the number of people coming out and support there's actually resoundingly meant to make this an official federal holiday now recently president donald trump he has gotten a lot of criticism for his remarks about the holiday in an interview with the wall street journal he said quote i did something good i made juneteenth very famous it's actually an important event an important time but nobody had ever heard of it now trouble originally had a rally scheduled for june 19th and told to oklahoma where in 1021 a mob of white residents massacred black residents. it's believed as many as 300

people died but after taking criticism during these ongoing protests on police brutality and racism manilla try to move the date actually to saturday june 20th quote out of respect fair and in regards to these protests we now have the air force inspector general investigating the air national guard's use of recognizance planes to monitor those recent protests which you are out there covering. absolutely so you have the air force spokeswoman and she actually came out with this statement yesterday quote following discussions with the secretary of defense marc esper about shared concerns the secretary of the air force is conducting an investigation into the use of air national guard r.c. 26 aircrafts to support civil authorities during a recent protest activity in the u.s. cities and you also have the director of the air national guard saying last week that the guard has used our c. $26.00 before to track civil disturbances and that was per quest of law enforcement now the 2 major cities being looked at are what the guard did in washington d.c.

and also many appel this during the time of those george floyd now manila the national guard actually has 11 of these are c. 26 aircrafts and typically they use these aircrafts for drug enforcement or border patrol monitoring there's no telling when this investigation is going to be completed but as for right now it is in the hands of the inspector general reporting outside the capital fair and fronsac r.t. . and the russian president has warned of the dangers of quote ignoring history's realities lattimer putin has made the statement in a detailed article for an american in turn actual affairs magazine ahead of next week's rescheduled victory day parade putin points to western coverage and teachings increasingly failing to mention the vital role of the soviet union in the 2nd world war and why airbrushing the facts today sets the world up to repeat those same failures are. reports 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 their 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 huge outrage both online and especially here in russia where an opponent also floated in a dia of a summit of the 5 nuclear states that was 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 are currently are between the country. and in

general the russian president has a size 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 process is how it ended 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 funk 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. the russian president vladimir putin has penned

a new op ed in the national interest magazine where he discusses world war 2 and how the west seems to diminish the former soviet union's massive role in its outcome on this 75th anniversary today he's getting flack from western media claiming he's rewriting history and that his words are a prelude to something possibly more nefarious in the baltics so here to weigh in former u.k. m.p. george galloway so george i read through his entire post i am totally baffled and unclear as to how other media arrived at their charge that he is somehow rewriting history in fact putin actually later admonishes joseph stalin as crimes against his own people but he does lament how diminished russia's role in world war 2 seems to be written at least in the history books is he right. yes he's absolutely right in fact is rewriting the rewriting of history which is. been going on

a peace for a long time for a long time it was by omission the someone my age in this country would simply not be told about the actual role of russia of the u.s.s.r. in the 2nd world war and then more recently we've been told the precise opposite of what actually happened and in the recent may events tweets from the white house not from don't trump personally but from the white house account actually claimed that britain and the united states had won the 2nd world war this is an outrage the u.s.s.r. the russian people as the successor state to the u.s.s.r. one of the most by heart in a way the more significant reason why hitler and nazi ism was defeated 4 fifths of all the nazi casualties in the 2nd world war where inflicted by the red

army on the eastern front it would be true to see of the the defeat of it lark could not have happened but for the enormous sacrifice made by the russian people almost 27000000 people dead right and as i said taking 4 fifths of all the nazi casualties so we're used to the rewriting of 2nd world war history and i think the blood tamir putin has done the world a service by correcting the rewriting today by it is absolutely important to point out that the russians back then the soviets lost more soldiers more men then all of the other countries combined so it's it is important to clarify that george and it's not just news outlets criticizing him or putin for this post but if we look at all the movies and even you know documentaries that are put out about world war 2 they're generally made by hollywood so. it has an american narrative this shapes

the impressions of so many people including children who grow up thinking a certain thing doesn't that ultimately hurt society georgia as a whole when history has been manipulated like this well even we feel like britain saw have a knows what the russians feel like because you know movies like saving private ryan and so on. are actually quite over fences to those who bled on the very same bottle fields and some cases bled far far more it is big not least because the wartime alliance has now become divided in such a way russia is held to be the head of it germany and japan are allies when in fact they were of the a version of it and then maybe we even have people participating in the event

several bridging the victory in may who were actually on the other side i'm not making up romania hungary were in these celebrations of the war while russia was excluded romania and hungary were on the side of other of her thoughts how much really writing of history has been going on absolutely it's kind of like if you're in the the group the cool kids group that are in nato and what have you then you get to be a part of that side of the celebration george lastly another topic couldn't address was the sense of national pride that russians have and that's why victory day is such a big national holiday there now this pride in the homeland is taught at home and in schools in russia do you see anything wrong with that because much of the mainstream media seems to be conflating that with a sense of racist nationalism. well it's absurd you know

there's no more patriotic country in the whole world than the united states but somehow russians being proud of their heritage their country is a improper thing and i just don't really understand but i've got to tell you that since putin came to power and i'm not flying his flag you know if i had been a russian i wouldn't devoted 4 of in the last election but the real problem they've got with putin is that he has restore russia's prestige in the world he's big draw shot up from the floor where it was lying with everyone picking it pockets that's the real reason they don't like putin because he has restored national pride inside russia and russian press stage across the world and well i suppose many western leaders and countries would have preferred the old russia lying on the floor having

its pockets picked but the truth of the mater and some people find uncomfortable truth and then they go and claim russian collusion george we'll leave it right there george galloway always appreciate your insights thank you. let's. now to the latest 1000 numbers worldwide cases now topping 8500000 what about 44454000 rather reported deaths the top 3 countries with the most confirmed cases the u.s. still leading the way followed by brazil with almost a 1000000 cases and russia with more than half a 1000000 now taking a closer look at this country cases now at about 2100000 with 118000 reported deaths. and over to california where governor gavin newsom made facemask mandatory amid the state's reopening that means californians have to wear

masks or other fate. coverings in all public spaces this order was made to help prevent the rise in the number of infections there even gyms in california are taking precautions with workout pods for each person which are looking at there. and elsewhere around the world demonstrators are rallying and guatemala against the government's handling of the pandemic protesters took their cars and drove in convoys through the streets urging the government to ease the lockdown this comes after the government's announcement to impose more restrictions if the number of cases continue to jump. at. the low youth choir from south africa was a hit in hollywood after appearing in america's got talent in 2019 but their dreams are now on hold they're back home after their tour was cancelled due to the pandemic the team will instead record new songs in studio and give virtual concerts

their ordeal is directly related to canada's detention of a certain chinese citizen artist alex my levitz has the rest of the story they've been locked up abroad for over a year and a house and now canadians michael carvery and michael spann 4 have been charged for spying in china. michael is a former diplomat who worked in beijing for the international crisis group spouse or is the founder of a company that helps facilitate travel to north korea you might remember former n.b.a. star dennis rodman stripped to pyongyang to meet north korean leader kim jong il. it was a company that helped make that happen. the charges against the 2 men were filed today called for gets accused of spying on state secret intelligence for overseas organizations. or has been charged for spying on and illegally providing state secrets canada's prime minister justin trudeau address the issue earlier today but

i can assure you that we have developed a certain expertise in what has worked to get canadians home in very difficult circumstances over the past year is and in the case of the 2 michaels i can say that we are using a wide range of public and private measures to ensure that everything is being done to get these michael both men were originally detained within weeks of making one jolles arrest at bay hoover's airport in december 2013 she's being held in canada on the request of the u.s. for charges including big fraud and violating u.s. sanctions against iran. after numerous appearances last month the canadian judge ruled that a u.s. extradition case against her could continue a move that has. made won't hurt the canadian u.s. government abused their extradition treaty and took coercive measures on the chinese national which seriously violated the rights and interests of the chinese citizen and this is

a serious political incident that many believe the charges against the 2 canadians are directly related to the main case including trudeau the chinese authorities have directly linked the case of the 2 michaels to the judicial proceedings against ms monk which is extremely. pointing because for us it is no good there obviously are no links except in politics on this but china vehemently denies the claim but it has been playing hostage diplomacy the country says that the evidence that has against the 2 men is solid whatever the case right now things don't look good for called reagan special china has an almost 100 percent conviction rate once defendants are charged for tea and i look smile with which toronto. u.s. secretary of state my pump aoe is taking part in the copenhagen democracy summit following his hawaiian meeting with chinese officials at the summit pompei 0

remarked that china's top foreign policy official said his country will honor all of the nation's commitments under its 1st phase trade deal with president trump previously there were concerns the 1st phase deal would fall apart because of the pandemic where china committed to buy an extra $200000000000.00 of u.s. goods over the next 2 years. and members of the un atomic agency board voted to condemn iran for failing to cooperate with its probe of the country's nuclear activities the resolution to condemn iran is the 1st since 2012 where the agency accused iran of keeping their nuclear program hidden away in the shadows from the u.n. agency now the move is expected to bolster the trumpet ministrations position against iran which is looking to force the country back into the negotiating table over its nuclear activities. let's head over to regina ham at the sports h.q. regina we're getting ready for the belmont stakes as the 1st race in the triple

crown finally that is not normal because it's usually the last one because by the time the belmont stakes actually hits the ground running in new york racing the other way to see if there's a triple crown winner that we will be crowned this year it's off to the 1st race with the usual pomp and circumstance missing including. 100000 fans gone from the stands 156 2nd running of the belmont stakes lots of new features in addition to the new date on the calendar it's the shortest of the 3 triple crown races this year since the usually it's usually the longest at one and a half miles due to the ongoing pandemic it's been shortened to one in 18th mile helping horses who haven't built up stand and stamina due to lack of races 8 of the top 10 horses in the track rankings are actually running in the race the exceptions being civil on day and top ranked tis the law his is the favorite to win and is the only worse in the field with 2 wins at the grade one stakes races he won the champagne stakes at belmont 2019 the winner of the stakes gets

a cool $535000.00 of the $1000000.00 prize pool the other 2 triple crown races the derby and the preakness stakes will be run in september and october respectively. there is one team dominating the standings over the korean baseball organization and for the end they decided to extend that lead while hosting the last players how to eagles and sea park. scoring the 1st ball to run a home run in 1st base and. his 8th of the season bring it home quantity don't give the diners a tune up in the lead bomb for runners on corners dinah's catcher kim to green the r.b.i. groundout to 2nd base scoring the awesome bump 3 to nothing top of it finally getting on the board with a solo homer off the bat of evils of choice with 2nd of the year but hamas still trails $3.00 to $1.00 top of the 9th and not any better runners on corners and 2 outs at the plate strikes out swinging get a $31.00 win in the win in the end break said these 2 game losing streak and

cements could have games ahead of the l.g. twin. over another game 2 in the 2nd place trying to do some of the 1st there's a better candidate won with a 2 run single the right field. john and jose miguel hernandez 2 son 2 nothing lead later at bat though in the end. bears out that are own with a the r.b.i. single the left center scoring him. the bears they 5 nothing leader very impressive top of the bears though are on a roll bases loaded pinch hitter jumps to be with a 3 run triple to left center and the bears take an 8 to 8 lead the twins would add 2 more but still silva the bears 8 to 10 mil of those are 28 runs in one game between 2 teams you can't keep up you don't get that many in me and i'll be and i wondered myself is because the parks are different dimensions no i don't blame our hour right there standard the fielding tends to be

a little less subpar than over in the m.l. b. the hitting is the same but the pitching and fielding is not quite the same quality i mean you gotta wonder about the pitcher of the gives up 18 runs like you don't feel good after that a lot of pitchers after you know you go i think the pitcher for the twins actually pitched 5 innings with no run in neurons he was awful just awful so though terrible they put anybody out and i think i don't i don't think we scored that much in high school softball i don't i don't think so you know maybe there is something different in the water over here in south korea. thank you for that regina and make sure you stick around for the 3 o'clock news we're coming back with a lot more for you today we're asking our public schools across america properly teaching the history of slavery on this juneteenth we're going to discuss that with a history professor than russia is lifting a 2 year ban on a popular messaging app we'll tell you the reason behind that move those stories and more coming up very soon sit tight that's it for now make sure you keep up with
