surpass 1000000 known corona virus infections with public anger swirling over the government's handling of the outbreak particularly among the hard hit by the poor and indigenous population. we do not cry quality and adequate assistance unfortunately the teams of doctors who came from the city brought this virus with them to our community. and this week's deadly border clash between india and china sets off a chain of anti beijing protests with infuriated communities burning effigies of the chinese president. good afternoon to national at the weekend then live from our world news studio here in moscow is kevin 0 interlace to be with you to take you through those stories in more detail and friday's public holiday in the u.s.

1st took on an extra layer of emotion this year known as june marks the date for mancipation back in $865.00 and freedom for the enslaved tens of thousands turned out in nationwide commemoration in seem similar than to the weeks of rallies we've seen of late in the wake of george floyd's killing there were mixed emotions with most marches passing off without incident as well as chants of black lives matter there was dancing we were singing to celebrate the historical milestone moment. so hard fought in past times but there was a disturbance in the capitol to we'll show you this next confederate statue was toppled. was the right. was. the portraits of historical u.s. house of representatives speakers who served in the civil war confederacy were

taken down from congress on the eve of juneteenth current speaker nancy pelosi says there's no place on capitol hill for the symbols of racism. history professor joyner finance is told to says she believes the legacy of slavery still needs big discussion and re-evaluation the united states has not come to terms with its past and with the history of slavery what was it and how did. contribute to the emergence of the nation but also to the emergence of capitalism slavery is an economic system with an economic system that was hugely responsible for the mass distribution around the world of rice to patco sugar and other cash crops and up on that institution emerges the institution of the system of

capitalism and so the united states hasn't really discussed this i don't haven't discussed this and it dulls haven't come to terms with this and engaged in some kind of truth and reconciliation process our students and young people certainly are not going to be educated about it. meantime donald trump will his 1st campaign rally since the start of the pandemic to avoid a clash with juneteenth its nose at the take place then later saturday in oklahoma the big concern there was holding a big public gathering in the hardest hit country with infections still rising in that state but all that said trump's staying defiance citing double standards given the weeks of anti-racism protest as caleb maupin reports. a 2nd wave of headlines code 19 is once again back in the us media spotlight a big trump rally is set to take place on saturday in tulsa oklahoma that the worst

possible public health threat is an indoor mass gathering in the time of a pandemic rally time the worst thing you could do in the middle of this pandemic trump is to tending the coronavirus as disappear showing up to his is precious rallies like it say i mean they're not they might get sick and die with trump's approval ratings slipping trump is looking to reenergize his supporters with one of these epic rallies but seems to also reenergized his critics donald trump has been accused of recklessness and in danger in his supporters trouble already has a good name if it turns into an outdoor festival he's going to call it. campaign says that hand sanitizer and face masks will be offered to all attendees though not necessarily required then they're not going to wear them just like trump doesn't wear them which puts trump in danger to there been plenty of rallies and protests

going on across the country these days a massive crowd and i mean massive tens of thousands of protesters thousands and thousands up 220-0000 i didn't hear a whole you know a whole lot of i love here have a moment of perspective and love a wonderful reminder that we are all in this together what more 1200 health care professionals and community stakeholders actually signed a letter supporting these demonstrations saying that racism is a national health issue we do not condemn demonstrations as a risky for kovi 1900 mission with the poor of them as vital to the national public health protests against racism and election campaign rallies are certainly not morally equivalent however the virus really can't tell the difference donald trump is calling out what he sees as an obvious double stand. the far left figures media which had no coded problem with the rioters and looters destroying democrat ground cities is trying to cool the cima so in our big rallies despite public health

concerns america's deepening political crisis and growing divisions are not ready for a lock down and certainly not ready to take a break caleb martin r.t. new york now next focus the coronavirus danger is not going away in the united states we can report new spikes are being registered in several states worldwide there's been a record weekly rides with 1000000 people are testing positive the world health organization is warning that the pandemic is excel aerating. the world is in a new and dangerous phase but the virus is still spreading fast it is still deadly and most people are still susceptible. we call on all countries all people to exercise extreme big dillon's so it's not going in places well r.t. america's joan heard the reports next from florida which has just logged

a record daily rise to see how many people are complying with the safety rules. this is downtown brickell and it's a very busy part of miami there's a lot of bars as are a lot of restaurants there's a big mall here and what we're noticing as we walk around is that there's really more people who aren't wearing a mask then there are at this point. there are plenty of reminders about social distancing and mask rules for businesses but that doesn't mean everyone is following the rules well most people at this mall were wearing masks as required at a nearby coffee shop not one customer inside was wearing one item found this discarded mask on my way to work well we're not trying to be the coded 1000 mask police i point all this out because as florida continues to see a surge in new covert 1000 cases with miami consistently posting the highest numbers in the state the seemingly lax attitude among some is raising concerns about florida becoming the next epicenter for the virus people are getting way too comfortable with the warning. stores restaurants and also not following social

distancing even their own earlier this week some theme parks movie theaters and even strip clubs are allowed to reopen they're all part of the latest phase allowing entertained venues to restrict their businesses my 1st day june 18th the state of florida reported 3300 new cases setting a single day record since the pandemic began here in florida local and state officials say more aggressive testing of more people is one reason for the higher numbers expected anyway once the states started reopening florida governor rhonda santas also recently blame seasonal migrant farm workers for a surge in new cases there have also been new clusters of cases at nursing homes and state prisons in florida but the florida department of agriculture is pushing back against governor to santas his assertions saying farm workers left the state several weeks ago after the season ended and there's been some contention about whether or not testing is really the main reason for the surge in cases whatever the reason as of now there are no plans to shut the state down once again despite

the upward trend. brazil has and the tragic position of becoming the sec. countries register more than $1000000.00 coronavirus infections the health ministry confirming the grim statistic with a record number of new cases on friday of more than $54000.00 the total number of deaths is now approaching 50000 as widespread public anger to president both sonar on his government over their handling of the outbreak. is a brazilian i feel that we should not have reached such a number if the politicians want it they could have avoided it but nobody cares it's your political will the president shows a lack of commitment to combat it he was going out without a mask greeting people meeting crowds i think he is the main person responsible for this situation. or president has been heavily criticized for months over his response to the crisis see initially described the disease as

a little flu and that no national lockdown was needed clashed with state governors and mayors who tried to bring in restrictions to shut major cities verse far the government's approach has also led to the resignation of 2 health ministers one holy profile victim who's died from corona virus to tell you about next one of brazil's best known indigenous defenders of the amazon rain forest police can that was the chief of brazil's indigenous people he came to fame in the 1980 s. back then for fighting against the construction of one of the world's largest dams he also helped lead a campaign for the creation of large reserves in the amazon for indigenous populations and to this day to expel illegal mining and logging from those areas but in 1902 he was convicted of the rape of a white student and sentenced to 6 years in prison he strongly denied the allegation and his allies insist in fact the claim they say was fabricated to undermine its growing political influence them. brazil's amazon region has been hit

hard by the pandemic with underfunded hospitals and access really difficult in remote areas more than 4 and a half 1000 indigenous people are known to have been infected 275 have died troublingly 2 or tele t. among other regional communities is twice the national rate we've been hearing about the specific problems indigenous communities face. it was we do not have high quality and adequate assistance that takes into account the cultural and geographical features of our communities there are health authorities to which all structures are subordinates but they do not have the conditions to get access to communities and they cannot meet existing needs unfortunately the teams of doctors who came from the city brought this virus with them to our community and as of now our 64 residents have been infected it's necessary to carry out preventative work and for this we need equipment and materials for example we need handjob disinfectant soap and masks since the beginning of the presidential term of

jaya paulson r o he has always tried to infringe on the rights of the indigenous population he wanted to push the country's elites to seize territories inhabited by indigenous peoples develop mining in oil industries in our small villages and build electric downs during the pandemic he used a number of opportunities to conduct this grab and sees it's believed that the amazon is the lungs of the planet if the amazon disappears we will also disappear humanity will disappear. with a slightly better news from britain about covert medical teams revising lowering the country's coronavirus alert level though from 4 to 3 in practical terms that means there could be a further gradual relaxation of restrictions a sense of mission of the virus is no longer to be thought to be high or rising exponentially the moment a survey alongside that list of deaths doctors confidence in the government's handling of the outbreak is still slipping in april 35 percent of g.d.p. in england thought negatively of the government's response but this month the

number surged to 60 percent the precision side gave us his view. for all my feeling is that the response is innocent not that's been very good at all and there's been very little interest in the welfare frontline clinicians my feeling that there was a manipulation of various guidelines it's we stand for example and i was very disappointed about how the government and creates a sense. risk. black asian minority an ethnic group be. it's also clear that. it's comments about watching that kind of language to a clinician challenging him in parliament and summarizes in my view what the government wants which is essentially a kind of blind. which can effectively cost you your life. i'm not alone in having lost to a great deal of faith in them it's been a minute and

a half of more story in brief now to tell you about a weekly magazine on sale in the czech republic has caused widespread offense by putting an image of a black hitler on his front page with the headline black lives matter where there was an incendiary sub headline to say shall we kneel before all criminals who claim they want to improve society human rights activists hit out really strong and facebook slapped a temporary ban on the magazine's editor in chief. then what you see and hear anger a lot of amsterdam but a rally to remove the statue of the 15th century colonialist demonstrators were pushed back by police as they approached the monument some then threw stones at officers a smaller group also gathered waving dutch flags in front of the statue of yan peterson cohen who had long been considered a national hero but whose reputation since in question.

hundreds of trucks and tractors used in a protest near the brandenburg gate drivers angry about freight prices being undercut as well as low wages and poor working conditions they say they want politicians to step in and repair the damage caused to small businesses by the big pandemic. 16 past 12 on the button here in moscow coming up and he china protests in india after a deadly skirmish ignited decades of simmering tension over disputed border i'm kevin o. and this is our international. media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation

a deadly skirmish between indian and chinese soldiers over a contested himalayan border region 20 hindu soldiers died and now anti china protests are springing up in several areas because of it. all friday demonstrators in the kashmir valley burned effigies of the chinese president they also called for a boycott of chinese goods to try to woo the chinese economy through the 2 countries have also started flexing their military muscles just after the border clashes reports emerging of chinese military drills in eastern tibet around $7000.00 soldiers simulating the removal of supposed enemy fortified positions and india too has been beefing up its military presence in the area with monday's deadly encounter took place by deploying fighter jets and apache attack helicopters know this border dispute is a decades old fall in the side of the 2 countries as explained in some depth next.

judgment day across the great britain monuments 20 pies most faithful servants are being torn down while the rule of brittania is still being felt on the other side of the globe more thought a century or 2 nuclear powers pushed to the brink battling it out with that bad hands india wants peace but when provoked it is capable of giving a fitting reply in the kind of situation the indian side would best not make an incorrect judgement of the situation would best not underestimate china's strong determination to keep safe its sovereign territory high up in the remote areas 2 of the most populous countries in the world are once again locked in battle over 2100 mile long border but monday marked the 1st deadly clash in decades into the last 20 soldiers while china's losses remain unclear so how did it come to this well in

1914 with india still under british rule chief negotiator said remarked mon to alight on a map and named it after himself into a. except that china didn't those who indiscriminately took to him up with a ruler never gave it a 2nd thought leaving these 2 countries to grapple with a conflict that continues to this day monday's events will undoubtedly be with interest by the pool which is also looking to write a historical wrong at the hands of the brits just days ago and thought it updated its mop laying claim to 3 new previously indian territories retorting what surprisingly hasn't gone down well in new delhi. this artificial enlargement of claims is not based on historical facts or evidence and is not tenable it is also violative of our current understanding to hold talks on outstanding boundary issues

in 816 pools signed a humiliating treaty with the british east india company and handed over lands which were that inherited by india off to the brits left and now over 200 years later it wants them back if india regards an apology a good neighbor it should return their jailing in the east and can god in the west which were confiscated by the british government which was then ruling india the british government had seized 1800 square kilometers of new pali territory through that unfair treaty. territorial dispute sorry recurring theme in form up british colonies take kashmir by region that indian pakistani relations crash to new lows over last year renewed tensions caused india to refer to kashmir special status telling off the phones cut the internet and send in thousands of troops. 'd

while when the brits finally what's true and $947.00 british india became 2 nations india and pakistan and it was decided that cash make could pick for itself whether it wants to be a part of the format with the latter a decision made by people who had thought even set foot i was not even aware of kashmir or heard about it long after i returned to london the radcliffe line was only revealed to the people the day before independence and scenes of celebration were replaced with fear and confusion as millions woke up on the wrong side of the border the partition and the radcliffe line unprecedented violence resulting in up to a 1000000 deaths so how did it all go wrong many areas had equal numbers of muslims

and hindus radcliffe also didn't take the sikhs into account and he never even heard of kashmir the list goes on the infamous scramble for africa the disputed line separating afghan the start of pakistan carving up the middle east the israel palestine conflict they used to say that the sun never set on the british empire well it turns out that while at sunset has well and truly come unfortunately its legacy of conflict and violence. continues to rise each and every day. something different facebook and twitter have told us lawmakers that they've not seen any evidence of suspicious activities on their platforms in relation to george floyd protests it came up u.s. house security hearing on thursday where democrat members accused the social media giants of doing too little to fight this information. are you saying yet

efforts by foreign powers to exploit divisions as they did 2016 around black lives matter. conservatives all manipulation by foreigner we have not seen foreign actors engage in coordinated in authentic behavior around the protests yet and we have teams that are proactively hunting for that the protests following the death of george floyd ended up as world wide unrest against police brutality and racial injustice however the allegations of the using social media by foreign actors in order to inflame further turmoil in the u.s. has been sickly for quite some time with russia and china often being called the main suspects there. based on my experience this is right out of the russian playbook as well that our foreign adversaries are going to take advantage of this crisis to so discord and to try and damage our democracy we're not going to let that happen we have evidence that some of the foreign backers

and groups that are associated with foreign governments are focusing in on this particular situation we have here and trying to exacerbate it in every way they can we talk to presidential hopeful and libertarian party vice chairman of environ he suspects the real public manipulators much closer to home. it's always easier to find a scapegoat no matter how insane it sounds rather than face the actual problem that home is not russians or chinese or anybody else that's eating minorities it is marriage that's not highly advanced or an intelligence doing something that isn't a problem of government abuse to words billions today you still have some people that believe that what the cops with the police did when they killed an unarmed immobilized civilian is totally right now in order to manipulate that small group of people they're going to do just about the dumbest thing they can fight foreign

governments foreign and foreign agents doing this sharing this information is going to be essential for the news media to do but it's also going to allow various people people who are entrenched roles to point fingers and say yeah it's their fault they are somehow doing this not recognizing the problems are and to then. i'll leave you with the full that's the way things are looking from international's newsroom so far this weekend reporting from moscow i'm kevin owen thanks about shooting and have a great weekend. we

go to work so you straight home. have been to national memorial awards has extended its deadline for submissions. all media professionals are eligible whether you are a freelance journalist work for alternative media poor a part of a global news platform you can submit to your published works in either video or free format go to award go to r.t. dot com and in to no. nuclear power plants will become a battleground in the us in vermont people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no claire power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it

moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways our struggle on r.t. . if. in dublin the campaign group justice for the forgotten had for years been demanding a public inquiry into the dublin amman bombings. it still took 7 years for the irish government 6 years after the ira's $994.00 cease fire to agree to a strict form of inquiry under justice henry byron the inquiry found in his own careful words and despite london refusing to cooperate with the inquiry that the

case for collusion was neither fanciful nor absurd. crucially however for the families bereaved by other glennon martyrs north of the border byron published a full appendix listing the ballistic links between other key attacks. after publication of the barn report it became obvious that there was still no response from the state. very serious allegations of criminality were not called the investigated but there was going to be no response and so we decided that we should respond we should bring people in and their national figures so we approached a number of people u.n. investigators who were to el salvador people who'd worked on the set off interest commission and others academics lawyers people's experience and we invited them to ireland and i asked them to look at the evidence to me was whistleblowers to meet with families to meet with p.s. and i was seated on many others and

a troll their own conclusions to draw up their own report the international panel report which is what they did and for also it was a very valuable experience to have people from outside the jurisdiction come here look at the evidence and come to their own conclusions. 10 years ago from 2004 to 2006 i had the privilege of chairing an independent international inquiry into potential collusion by british security forces into. paramilitary killings of catholics in northern ireland. they certainly were not a few bad apples there were a significant number of british intelligence agents from within the hour you see in the u.d.r. who were involved directly in these killings who are in collusion with them and their activities their illegal activities according to the evidence we received

were known to their immediate superiors.
