causing us to think whether there is going to be a plaster on from there but what we understand is that for example there was. a practice for to soldiers carrying before doubts and testing and all of that so we do hope that it would not cause any concerns later ok talk to me to time this morning we're going to have to leave it there dr w. h. a representative for the russian federation thank you. and thank you at home for watching today with back again with headlines and more stories in half an hour. greetings and salyut a shims all right as we now enter the halfway point of june which in turn is the halfway point of 2021 thing we have discovered is that here in the united states

of america despite the many times our government and corporate culture has attempted to suppress or co-opt it the freedom of speech is still alive and well it has been flowing through the veins of 2020 like painkillers through congress or sudafed through our president freedom of speech and expression have brought us both the just like the political protests against oppression and police violence that followed the murder of george pointed to the incredibly stupid and dangerous light the protests we saw over pokes having to wear masks and being asked to stay at home following the outbreak of covert 19 whatever one feels about the causes whether you are for or against it you cannot deny that the power of free speech has been on display all over 2020 so far but that hasn't stopped efforts on both the right and the left of the political spectrum here in the united states in their attempts to tear down our freedoms of speech and expression when it's used against their own

beliefs or agendas take this week where both republican and democrat media organizations politicians and keyboard warriors have been hyperventilating over recent scandal involving n.b.c. news google ads and the federalist according to very conservative vehicle the national review on tuesday this week google threatened to ban the right wing political news website from the federalists from generating advertising revenue on the company's platform. in response to posts in the federalist comments section that allegedly violated google's policies regarding dangerous or derogatory content and this supposed that attack on free speech or advertising dollars came after n.b.c. news referred the company to complaints against the pub rolls and the financial blog 0 hedge compiled by the u.k. based center per countering digital hate which then of course prompted or was the excuse for the united states senator out of missouri missouri josh powell way to

put forward yet another new attempt by the u.s. congress to rein in the legal immunity granted to social media companies by that notorious section 230 big communications and decency act remember that is the section that prevents companies from being sued or held liable for what we the public decide to write or publish their platforms. and it's at these crossroads in the battle over online free speech that we are going to start watching the hawks if you want to know what's going on on a city street you want to see. the so you'd like to see that this is the joyce state seal rolls royce great city displays systemic dissent says the late show which would be so brings up the field as. well when watching the hogs i am i robot or. oil boy

a mission member side of the political aisles wrote fire this week in this kind of like weird footnote to everything going over like you know google ads and conservatives being censored on major on google and all these social media platforms it's fascinating to see all this plays out but really to me it's just kind of 2 sides being really loud over a problem the bits not really that much of a problem no i absolutely agree i think that you know an argument of censorship specifically with some of these large tech giant platforms you're seeing. members of both sides of the aisle be extremely frustrated in trying to get their message across from what you said earlier there's a little bit of upset around just how much people are able to say in these comment sections but we also know that the comment section is where stability goes to die the comment section of anything so the expectation that you're probably going to see something negative is always pretty high and i don't think that any you know we any organization should have to be liable for what somebody says in the comments

section no not at all and i think that's ridiculous and we're going to talk to them if they want to have a comment section a lot of things you know a lot of our newspapers online or publications online they don't even have a comment section anymore specifically because it's not so i mean imagine if you tried to tell you tube to advertise on you tube we're going to be held liable for what's said on you tube videos on the me it's insane to think that short term we've seen a certain level of responsibility from certain organizations just around suspending the comment section when they see that it's gone too far into the weeds or when it's become too racist or too then a big or too you know anti muslim we've seen those types of things before but that's organizations taking the lead and saying hey you know this we're in a direction that nobody really needs to see but again it's hard to mandate what people are going to say outside people on your platform and i'm going to really tired from the both the left and the right basically attacking each other's messages online and trying to censor each other's messages well look there's a ton of stuff i don't want to read and i don't want to see you know i find

deplorable and despicable but they still have a right to say you know and i have a right to react to it i don't want to see it censored exactly but i would feel differently if the publication endorsed the comment right it's very different if you have an article that is run that is blatantly racist and one that uses a lot of the undertones that we do see in some of these comments but again these are individuals who are making their voices heard yes a lot of them are probably in their basement typing things that are should never be uttered out loud people get a lot. a lot of courage when they are in the comment section they wouldn't have outside of that but i just don't feel like there should be liability on any society is going to shun even if they do produce an article that is blatantly racist society will shun them for of society will pay them back for it remember free speech you know whether you agree that free speech is actually there to protect unpopular speech popular speech doesn't need protection everyone loves it really at the heart of this though is whether or not a big argument with all of this is whether or not n.b.c. the reporter who wrote this piece for n.b.c.

you know was basically you know showed google what there's other companies the dead men put out this tweet saying thanks to you know fake news and see see the hate that their hard work and their collaboration collaboration being this keyword was like oh did n.b.c. collaborate with those groups to get the bedroom list and 0 hedge you know attack by google ads that's where the big kind of controversy with all this sits and to me i look at it kind of like it's a stupid tweet because you can read any and everything and collaborate. and because she kind of walked into something that was already set in motion the federalist and a lot of organizations on the right feel as though they are their speech is being taken off of certain platforms specifically those that they see as more left leaning or having more left leaning support and this kind of help to feed that monster so i think that they're blowing the tweet out of proportion granted she shouldn't if that in any way. while the united states continues to reopen the threat and the danger of covert 19 has not by any means

gone away with new spikes in states like arizona and florida long known as the destinations for americans who are tired and elderly it appears that this virus is still at the throat of the most vulnerable of our population are to americans john who is in florida with the latest on kobe $1000.00 that's act on america's thing your citizens over 1918 used to plague nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout the united states as more states continue to reopen the wall street journal reports that. as nursing homes and other senior care facilities have started allowing more visits the death toll at these facilities has surpassed 50000 accounting for 43 percent of coven 1000 deaths in the united states this is health care advocates raise more concerns about nursing homes not being adequately inspected nationwide to see if they're following proper procedures to prevent the spread of the virus a report by the center of medicare advocacy found that 5724 surveys

cited infection control deficiencies in 163 nursing facilities in 30 states and only a little more than half of the nursing homes in the u.s. had received inspections florida texas california and ohio had some of the worst infection rates act nursing homes in the country parent florida there are reports of new clusters of corona virus infections at nursing homes with recent inspections turning up alarming conditions at some of these facilities as the state continues to reopen. the miami herald reports about one facility in the florida keys that's become a cluster for corona virus cases and quote received a 2nd critical report in as many months detailing deficiencies that include understaffing inadequate care and isolation for kovan 1000 patients and unsanitary conditions that could promote the spread of the disease that's only one example but

there are plenty more nationwide seam of her mother head of the centers for medicare medicaid services or c.m.s. said facilities that followed federal infection control guidelines were largely able to contain and control the virus the c.m.s. reports that facilities with a one star quality rating were more likely to have large numbers of covert 1000 cases than facilities with a 5 star rating adding that c.m.s. will take an foresman against nursing homes that have not reported data into the c.d.c. the centers for disease control and prevention burma said if states do not complete the required facility checks by july 31st they may risk losing federal recovery funding there also still remains contention about whether many nursing homes and assisted living facilities are receiving enough covert 1000 testing kits and sufficient protective gear as that blame game continues the bottom line is people's

lives still remain at risk and many of these facilities as the number of coronavirus cases continues to climb in some of the poorest rated states for nursing home care in the united states for our t.v. john honey. i mean if covert is done anything that has exposed how lacking we are in so many areas of infrastructure and care for both the poor and the elderly in this country no i i fully agree and i think that when we're talking about the nursing home specifically what's pressure. thing is that we knew early on that the most vulnerable population was going to be our elderly are senior citizens and there should have been protocols immediately for nursing homes and we know that a lot of them weren't meeting standards long before coping 90 yes but my question remains what type of people were they getting that they have enough that they have the regular things that we know that you're supposed to happen or the hand washing

anti-bacterial mask or those who are interacting with the with the senior living facility themselves as well as i know that they cut a lot of the visitation like you they can not have any visitors at all but my question is what are they doing to regulate the people that work there exactly the i mean that's a great question and you know when you mention like p.p.m. you know when you see reports of like you know dr coming out saying like oh you know they held back on telling people to use face masks early on because they knew their supplies were so low you know i mean he said quote we were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment including the n 95 mass and the surgical masks were in very short supply i get like how you don't want everyone going out and having everything disappear like toilet paper did early on in this but inform people i shouldn't have to read about this after the back tell people hey we don't have enough masks we will admit to you know same thing with nursing homes like how do you not follow up on that and check on these to make sure procedures are being followed for our most elderly and the people that we that we say we care about when you know that this is going to be nearly ground 0 for any

infections it's just absolutely breaks my heart on every level. all right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand to the brand new portable t.v. app available on all platforms yes it is available on all platforms you can find it everywhere you have no excuse not to pick it up coming up we will discuss the new charges that have been brought against the 2 police officers sponsible for the murder of ray sharp brooks as well and they will take a deeper look at the idea of atlanta being a mecca for black american states home with her watch.

we go to work. straight home. what's needed national you know any been able to molest that solicit it to prevent you. from where your morgue or your more your partner are going to be moving through our. water source a cure all but us lucifer mistletoe is just that of a lot of them to fail. it is not my achievement mr davies our 5 year plans were conceived. and carried out by the people themselves if they would produce or even floor it with the idea of making

a film like this they'd probably be branded as crazy. now is the sentiment during the war the soviets were brave heroes resisting the nazis that's going to change of course after the war but once the cold war begins. little people think that hollywood is a free place but really what is strictly. one side of the business and the other side is. how would i define hollywood is they call it the dream manufacture which had things true but i think equally it's a problem and the fact. i think the biggest danger that has come out education as a distress is it has highlighted the shoot-in equality that exists and i think one of the 6 that education. needs to change is access to the internet for educational

purposes needs to be i think 2 lists that essentially choose our rights. atlanta georgia is known for being the hotbed of civil rights advocacy and the fight for justice hot lanta is black hollywood boasting top entertainers and rap in r. and b. it's also home to famed film producer tyler perry's 300 acre studio but for all the talk of success it limits seen over the past years what doesn't get reported nearly as much is that it lena has the worst inequality in the united states despite being

home to several fortune $500.00 companies while the national and international spotlight from the death of george floyd sparked a movement we're still seeing cops abuse blacks as if america isn't in crisis mode in atlanta the recent death of ray sharp brooks at the hands of a police officer led to heightened protests the burning of a windies and calls for immediate reforms the civil unrest in atlanta is brought on by a few things it has brought to the forefront black folks who feel they haven't been heard who often are odds with a popularized image of the city and are ready for their stories to finally come to light they're calling out political leadership the police and the wealthy elite who paying image of the city thousands of black atlantans simply don't seat with mayor kesha lance bottoms under consideration as a running mate for democratic presidential nominee joe biden all eyes are on her leadership in this moment atlanta's black hollywood is in the national spotlight and it steps during this time of protests and calls for systemic change could be a well map for the nation joining us now is political director for the a.c.l.u.

of georgia chris bruce and with the people's response atlanta guys charges were announced just a few hours ago for the officers involved in re charbroiled to death what are your immediate reactions. first of all. go ahead go ahead we'll start with you chris. well thank you thank you for having me on the show. i'll start off by saying we need to look at the whole hearted you of what's happening with this case so we know that there are charges against the police officers and now one police officer is allegedly going to be a state witness against the other police officer that actually did the shooting the thing that i really want to point out is what exactly is justice in this situation because what i don't want to happen is for this to happen again next year or next month so having police being charged with the murder is

a step forward but getting ultimately to changing the police so they never encounter this type of situation again is really where the city of atlanta needs to be and the rest of the nation the united states. daniel i want to ask you you know allana seems to be battling an image issue right now or you know some citizens feel that what's being projected to america isn't exactly what's felt on the ground i know you're a good organization has been there on the ground with covert 19 trying to help people out and keep them you know safe from this pandemic this schism is now being amplified by the protests in the wake of race car brooks's death as if we should mentioned earlier what steps is atlanta taking to remedy or course correct not only the excessive force and policing if any you know in terms of stuff fixing it and respond to calls from all the atlantans will build essentially left out of what's being called the black mecca in the middle of the country. to be honest i don't really think that it has been making any moves to reconcile what has been happening

. i think it was right in to say like what is just kind of look like in this moment i mean we're saying they're arresting a police officer but how does that change the history of systemic racism that is happening in this country the system the criminal justice system is retribution it's not really tackling. this is stomach issues that are deeply ingrained in this country. and on top of that we have public officials who are constantly coming up with. giving empty promises right for example with keesha lance bottoms saying that they were going to close down a city detention center and now we're seeing that she's trying to push 18000000 into a city that's had decided to keep it open won't really were supposed to change it into health and wellness center. additionally talking about how in

her campaign she wanted to stop sending all police officers over to israel to get training and there are 26000 campaign and then in 2800 send over if you do officers over there so we're seeing that public health or the public officials are going back on their word and then are really trying to remedy anything. and there been several media outlets that are pointing to the differences in the george blake case and the rush hour bookcase they seem to largely fall on brooks used to take his or in the telcel of police officers chris what role do you think this is going to play in finding justice for brooks. i think that there are several media outlets that are stirring up controversy which is something that happens with media outlets all the time but when it comes down to what actually happened between rush hour burks and george floyd they were killed 2 black men were killed by

staying say police officers and that's exactly what really needs to be pointed you know why do we always have a history of police officers targeting hunting and killing black men so finding justice again doesn't go along with well and for eyes type of situation a life or life such a situation just. this would be this not happening again and you can point to the rich are brooks situation and easily find another way of dealing with this dealing with the differences between law enforcement and public safety law enforcement says you may allegedly have a d.-y. on your hands because he was behind the veil and allegedly under the influence you could be arrested or charged with a dui and then within that you see the catapults action whilst there was an argument there was a fight that ensued and there was a shooting where a black man was killed and now 2 officers are charged and their lives are going to

be ruined to compared to public safety where you can go ahead and say oh if this young gentleman was you need paraded at the time allegedly calling it over calling a live calling somebody to say come pick him up issue a citation we can to deal with this issue later on but you have a black man that goes home to his family to his daughters who was having a birthday and 2 police officers who can also go back on the street so there's differences between the 2 but when it really comes down to it we need to figure out the similarities of the problems that happen systemically in our policing system. daniel and i want to ask you too you know you're mentioned you're there on the ground and you're fighting this sort of ground level in trying to help people what is something that these these cities and atlanta and other cities what it is like there's a lot of things they can do to fix but what in your view do should be the 1st thing fix right out the gate that could actually bring so many quality and bring some

justice to a lot of the citizens in these cities. indeed found in abolish the police that is frightening for most we have seen that the police officers that have been multiple reforms that have been trying to be instilled and police departments and we've seen that none of those trainings have are effective i believe the officer who killed ray sharp rocks had a training diversity training a couple months ago and yet the result was that a unarmed black man was killed. and i think a lot of cities across the nation are calling for a defunding of the police and abolition of not just the police but the president doesn't accomplish as a whole because the system is a racist system that criminalizes broken bodies and ultimately smartish them and since i'm such a sentence so their media think that we can do as a country and just cities across the nation is to immediately define the police and use false and direct into public services thank you for bringing up the prison industrial system it's a good good point to move. because this one's for you and dan you can chime in as

well but qualified immunity it's a big buzz word going around right now we definitely want to touch on this qualified immunity prevents police from being charged and prosecuted in many cases actually in 99 percent of cases where there is a murder involved where is it lana in the state of georgia on providing penalty for officers who use excessive force and ensuring they do face charges when these murders occur. well we've seen what's happening with which are books of the officers that have been happening district attorney paul howard has brought a warrant out for their arrest and has committed to ensuring that they were. be indicted on this qualified immunity is something that has always played as you point out of the american criminal system when it comes to holding police officers accountable so the city of atlanta on the state of georgia they have a long way to go when it comes to holding police officers accountable and police officers are pushing back honestly and they need to take account ability to what

the problems that are happening within themselves police officers can police themselves as well and saying the standards that we have to stand is that we should be held to should be also held in the law in solidified by statute but you need to hear that from police officers too so until we get state legislation until the city of atlanta poses imports together some policies then we will have a long way to go. on this. so i want to say what did justice look like for catherine johnson and what it does is look like for alexa christian nicholas thompson john martin robinson came rogers oscar kane jimmy actions and griffin all these people who were murdered at the hands of police here in atlanta and what it just is look like for them i think the only way that we can move past qualified immunity and actually seek justice for everyone is so again like i said define the police and abolish the prison

industrial complex as the only way forward it seems to be that all the signs are definitely going to point in that direction because you know we've got a lot of promises over the years over and over and over i think we're sick of promises and we need to see action i want to thank you both for the work that you're doing out there to find justice and find out equality thank you both for joining us chris brooks there on your bizarre pleasure very much having you both on today and keep up the great work. thank you so much thank you go on. there wild conversations and a lot of good answers and i think that you know that resonating factor around defunding the police the more we see the death toll increase the more we're going to hear those calls. even louder great work by those 2 are right that is our show for today remember everyone in this world we're not told that we're told we're loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am i roll vinter and i'm a music rock keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and let everybody.

be so to add to. the good in each other the. one. that i'm the better side going to. the soul that this isn't just. the emotional learning t.m. must go if you'll still be stuck or you muscles from the course before the resistance but above is just located. chill the fuck should. we be. soldier she's off the beach she's wearing. a huge wedge so

the sold out so it's can move the opposing opinion with you then you'll like it on the show stuck in the summer watching a police force sort of us hold up. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area rush up. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons

capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. voting begins in russia on amendments to the country's constitution the 1st time people can vote online as a precaution against 90. come just as many nations start to relax over the coronavirus the world health organization does form the pandemic is actually accelerating well a number of countries even started reporting a 2nd wave of infection. i mean the prime industries but the. actual. and hungry sports
