around the clock across the world international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome. in the shadow of his presidential predecessors rushmore took aim at people wanting to terror dawn monuments in an address on the eve of independence day he also decried the rise of quote far left fascism this year's 4th of july celebrations come with the backdrop of weeks of anti racism protests and riots which have seen demonstrators seek to remove or destroy statues linked to slavery. our nation is witnessing

a merciless campaign to wipe out our history to fame our heroes a race of values and indoctrinate our children angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders to face our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities a few hours before a valid address there was a standoff between the national guard on protesters led by native american activists more than a 100 block the road leading to the trump of events riot police shot smoke shells out their feet and use pepper spray around 15 protesters were arrested as the deadline set for them to leave past. so this year there are likely to be a few mixed emotions as americans mark their history and they perhaps means new questions

over traditional symbols more not from quarter. the 4th of july is a time for barbecues fireworks and of course the american flag a time when americans are exceptionally proud to be well american and for decades leaders have used the occasion to proclaim that their part of the greatest country around america is the greatest country in human history great country on earth that america is the greatest country on the face of the earth but this year people apparently are not buying it recent polls suggest only 17 percent of americans can confidently say that they're proud of the current state of their homeland and who can blame them this year's 4th of july falls on a day when economic recession a global pandemic and nationwide protests against institutionalized racism all plague the country the us desperately need solutions and the people desperately need a holiday but for some criticizing july 4th symbols of patriotism seems to be on

the top of the agenda. many are calling to switch the national anthem from the star spangled banner to america the beautiful supporters of the change say that the current anthem is racist since its composer own slaves and some of its original lyrics were no doubt outrageously bigoted but most americans rarely ever made that association in the 1st place. flying the flag on independence day has been as american as apple pie for as long as memory serves but this summer the stars and stripes are feeling the heat. over a 1000000 means even signed a petition to replace the flag with this version of america's most patriotic symbol

of course it was. likely not intended to be taken seriously but the sentiment remains. the founding fathers another icon americans can easily identify with they declared that all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights but in 2020 many have been more concerned with their slave owning past and the statues built in their name have come under assault because of it washington parks the monument to its namesake is just the latest in the city to get painted over there in baltimore at the george washington memorial and statue of drill park you can see how it's been built allies with red paint in the words destroyed races another statue in portland has been taken down by protesters this time george washington video on social media also shows them lighting it on fire america's latest on rest against police brutality is not the 1st time we've seen how a country's past can influence the president in

a negative way but will attacking national symbols that serve to unite americans on independence day fix those problems or will they serve to further divide a nation that seems to be ripping apart at the seams it very well could end up being dangerous i mean we could see us going back to things that we don't want to go back to you could see as forgetting about things that we don't want to forget about there may be statues and in different types of symbols that might need to be removed but if we leave it up to the looks it'll go basically it'll go crazy i mean because we've got people on the left who are trying to tear down abraham lincoln and other members of the union so it's not just the confederacy some of them are just seeking to to to cause damage and destruction our nation has been very divided over the past 3 or 4 or 5 years or so it's been a lot of those that are next it's been a lot of the fringes fighting in the loudest on each side you know story so it has caused a divide and i think it will take some time to get back to

a sense of normalcy and to mend the rift that's the form. of for the 2nd night in 3 days police in portland in the state of oregon declared protests there to be a riot. the latest one saw violence a brick college when a group of protesters set fire to some would die side the justice police say several people started fires through rocks and launched projectiles with slingshots out officers the reputation of american police has taken a major blow over the past month with calls to defend or despond forces it's hitting morale too now a recent survey all of officers found that a staggering 80 percent would not encourage their children to enter a career in law enforcement only 7 and a half percent said they would. let some of the main reasons listed for that

include a lack of support from bosses and overall lack of respect for the profession concerns for officer safety however ray lewis is a retired philadelphia police captain who would recommend joining the police now he told us why. officers that are not encouraging young people to go into law enforcement are those officers who are afraid of accountability. they fear being held to the high standards of the job and so far they've had free reign and been able to do what they want when they want and now that's and it right there is no respect and there should not be until it's earned ice there are 19 of my years in the belly of the beast in the ghetto so sooner or economically depressed black areas and that historically these people have seen and heard

a police brutality be there in them their family their names we've heard their relatives that it was only their spend police brutality since day one but never an out what i consider one of the greatest inventions ever is the video self a white america is waking up because now all that they heard all their life is being contradicted by what they see i would absolutely encourage anybody to join the police force because it's a changing police force now the new police force forces are going to be held much more accountable to be responsible to their communities and there is no more rewarding job then a police officer. let's bring you to england where police revellers a legal party clash just hours after the government began lifting some of the virus

things were reacting with the already or welcoming both of the social distancing measures but looking 2nd has always been on the cards and the recent below it is the best estimates we suspect that anything between 80 to 90 percent got pollution of the united kingdom. not being exposed to cook that we can't just what we're going to know. but i will go back and all of. this is normal but you know there's a big risk. nigeria ses. to sculptures that ses belongs to the country's community have been auctioned off in paris the country maintains they were stolen during the 1960 civil war but the auction house christie's insists the sale was legitimate. these objects had been lawfully sold having been publicly debated and previously sold over the last decades prior to

height of the pandemic has caused sentiment to grow it's a monger story still ahead today. americans start growing at propitious rates because america empire right because it's easy for the top to see everything and leave nothing for everyone else america will be better off if it was not an empire so the collapse of the us dollar will be painful for a period of time but what comes on the other side will be i think a lot more amenable to. the world is driven by a dream shaped. thing

. we. ask. locked on measures in germany have seen some sex workers i met in protest in berlin demanding that their activities be lifted the rally was organized by the sex workers union brought flopper raters association demonstrators were holding signs like open. work the was imposed back in march as part of the measures to fight

corona virus pandemic and the restrictions on sex work in neighboring countries are being lifted in the netherlands for instance brothels reopened on july the 1st with some restrictions that was 2 months earlier than originally planned when the ban was introduced there in mid march though many in the sex trade struggled foxy angel on octave the prostitution information center told us. a lot of the secular who are can throw a thing in. just doing sex but it's also. eagle and that's why i know. who. from their home who decided. to gather in our friends like 6 or 8 sex workers to get our money because they could have paid their rent

anymore particular for her. to march she couldn't pay her rent. could have provided for her children anymore. and she didn't see a way out basically and debts why she killer so i think. now it's such a pity because. she could have been helped by the dutch government but the dutch government still gets to help the mind to nationals doing stuff and just lets a sex worker be for what they are. many within the erotic industry have lost during the kobe 1000 pound like the dutch government did provide financial supports many sex workers were not eligible for it again explained how the system worked. if you are an independent contractor and may come a step to therapy or

a whole month. then you can get some funding from the fund on the government during this fire but when you're working from that with the opting into a stone you go to work places like the brothels the sex clubs and the escorts your . arms i'm going to give you some should you know they were not acknowledged by their governments as being. part of. opting in so yeah those people have the right my me. facebook's admitted letting 3rd party developers improperly access users personal data again the companies repeatedly promised to clean up its act but thousands of ops have continued gathering users' data long after they stopped using them directly looks into why the social media giant aponte isn't learning from past

mistakes. facebook might want to go ahead and make their motto sorry about that just to save us all some time it'll come as a surprise to no one but there's once again that been a privacy breach of the book this time it's nothing earth shattering but the company does estimate around $5000.00 developers were able to gather information on users long after they were meant to in 2018 we announced it would automatically expire and apps ability to receive any updates to this information if our systems didn't recognize the person as having used the app within the last 90 days the recently we discovered that in some instances apps continue to receive the data we fix the issue to day after we found it that was also mentioned multiple times in the blog post that users did initially give permission for their info to be collected so it's not only the company's fault that they didn't cut it off like they promised right and you do have to get facebook credit for trying to be more

proactive about these issues but how many more apologies are people meant to accept this was a major breach of trust we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake it was my mistake and i'm sorry and i'm sorry for it but i'm sorry and i'm really sorry that this happened apparently sorry doesn't seem to be the hardest work plus there were these ads bought in major u.s. and u.k. newspapers that said things like we have a responsibility to protect your information if we can't we don't deserve it the irony that that was all among the cambridge analytical scandal when there was an estimated $50000000.00 users that had their information that we weren't up for profit now after that about a year later a sucker bird tried to turn things around by announcing his vision for a privacy focused social media experience i believe we should be working towards a world where people can speak privately and live freely knowing that their information will only be seen by who they want to see it and will be told stick

around for ever. if we can help move the world in this direction i will be proud of the difference we have me and yet the issues keep on coming which means trust will keep on falling i want to stop the question of 3rd party advertisers or developers then it's an issue of features that the company itself made and has to apologize for i really messed this one up somehow we missed this point with news feed in many feet and we didn't build in the proper privacy controls right away this was a big mistake when our part and i'm sort of for it. we have made a lot of mistakes building this feature but we have made even more with how we have handled them was simply due to bad job with this release and i apologize for a broken record much and yet the list goes on and on and on this article actually breaks it all down from the very beginning before the company was even called facebook and yet here we are again but really what else can you expect from a company that works on an advertising based business model meaning those companies

need your private information in order to properly target you and they're willing to pay anything for that and honestly do we really get to be mad anymore for me once shame on you fool me every other week well at least some things in life are predictable. let's tell in senator ses he is ready to launch a new poll party with the aim of breaking away from brussels to capitalize on growing l.t.e. you sentiments there coronavirus i brick house compounded those feelings many talian say they felt abundant by the as the pandemic took hold brussels eventually apologized for neglecting its a huge part there and agreed to be a lie packages although how they will be used is still up for debate at the height of the i break a survey showed that 49 percent of the tellings wanted to all of the another study suggests trust in brussels has dropped the musts of 64 percent since 2000 and warm

. well the other link with brussels of course is the shared currency the euro it's still got support in italy according to a polaris last month more than half of the public are ok with it while a 3rd oppose it the senator who is setting up the new euro skeptic party believes italy needs to leave the e.u. to regain its economic power. maybe we at the moment we want to overcome the perception the neo liberalism is the only model to base politics on today governments may change but the policy which is push you'd always comes from brussels. this is long term reflection since we have been trapped in the european cage we have lost our purchasing power we have lost the momentum which allowed italian businesses to be competitive globally the weeks and months of covert highlighted once again an absolute lack of political will in the e.u. the e.u. does not exist there is only the german union which benefits the german economy itself and the countries tied with it the point is that exiting the european union

in euro zone means exiting a macro economic vision that has benefited only the financial elites and multinational corporations so far 'd we can do without the e.u. it does not seem to me that the e.u. strengthened italy's economy i would say the opposite we remember when its really was a sovereign country it was the 4th power within the g 7 so we know perfectly well which direction to take to develop our country we will be able to go it on our own again to manage all the funds we need to relaunch the manufacturing areas of this country tourism definitely needs a fresh push as our attractions appeal to everyone the problem is that we do not have an opportunity within the e.u. to develop our economy and this made in italy brand like we should be doing. these are stories phenomena busy all day we will keep the updates coming for you at the top of the hour hope you'll join me then live from moscow this is our.

long before. the world. toward the compromise by what is a sure national interest people talk about gridlock in congress when you hear people talk about. the right. radicals in both parties so will this. be a solid bipartisan centrist approach to politics most of them against the war. it's not just.

secret prisons and usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been busy roads on the work to view houses were. preserved were located only cia people had access to the story from investigators covered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. the great ignore in. your sort of. thing for justice. this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss on fairmont i say

ok in washington coming up the new nafta or us something the fact this week but trade tensions between the 3 countries remain plus drugs virus turn us into a cashless society will a.t.m. usage is already down 32 per cent we talk to boom bust co-hosts now have a packed show today so let's go and dive right in. we start today with global. markets following some strong economic news we're seeing a lot of green arrows across the board but let's start in russia where the most for the weak the ruble had struggled in recent weeks as oil prices fluctuated but following the constitutional reform this week the country's currency strengthened against the dollar it's looking ahead now russia's alfa bank warned that the u.s. could play sanctions on russia if the report regarding bounties on u.s. soldiers is confirmed now let's move over to asian markets where the shanghai composite is up on the week it's hitting new $52.00 week highs the composite gained 2 percent on friday alone after positive data showed increased prospects of

economic recovery after the pandemic in hong kong the hong saying also up this week with 3 percent gains on thursday this is after promising news regarding a possible vaccine friday saw gains due to positive economic data and even better than expected jobs report out of the us now some of the biggest winners this week for hong kong were the hong kong exchanges and clearing ltd and tech giant 10 cent which both hit $52.00 week highs japan's nikkei also hitting that same trend and is up the end lost 2 percent early in the week due to a global search and coated 19 cases but it clawed back those losses as positive data raised sentiment over to india where the sense that is also up for the week that finished with 3 straight days of gains this was pushed up by the country's largest company reliance industries but concerns are growing as india is seeing a record increase in current.
