chamber they point at america's head and they pull the trigger hoping that they won't blow off the america's head and that they get to keep all the free money this day and they do that every single day and then eventually like in 2008 they blow off america's head and it will happen again and they'll say well you know we were acting in the greater good. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate transitions to sustainable transport sustainability stay number man a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely hama's. because. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else this does he want any minute i need

11:33 am
tearing down these idiotic idols and relics to our slave owning colonizing history much to the dismay and outrage of well i guess what those who care more about stone's symbols of hate than people's flesh blood and lives never one to miss an opportunity to sound off in an election year u.s. president donald trump chimed in or rather tweeted in declaring i have authorized the federal government to arrest anyone who vandalize or destroys any monument statue or other such federal property in the united states with up to 10 years in prison who but it wasn't just the president clutching of pearls the activists gadflies and culture police from the right and even some on the left were also losing their collective minds on t.v. and social media over the toppling of these slave owning idols the parents and the removal of the ulysses s. grant statue was just a line too far for some people ignoring the fact that grant despite helping the
11:34 am
when the civil war didn't fact own slaves and presided over a particularly horrific chapter of physical and cultural genocide against native americans a leftist hero he is not. and while the toppling of statues and the removal of racist flags do make for great corporate news and social media spectacles they represent just a fraction or dare i say an easy distraction from the real work that still needs to be done to destroy the institutional racism and economic injustices that gripped the united states of america real work like the kind that black labs matter activists and defund the police proponents are doing right now just outside city hall in new york city doug occupy city hall protesters have taken over the city hall park with the new york times noting that what started on a patch of lawn in
11:35 am
a few square feet has now taken over most of the park and drawn extensive attention across social media they have one goal and one goal only to defund the new york city police department to the tune of $1000000000.00. and it's there in the heart of the real fight for justice and equality we start watching the horrors. if you want to know what's going on a city in the streets you want to be clear so you'd like to see the rises joyce just state and city employees drone strikes mass graves see displays systemic deception is to late show which days i will be so when the job is. welcome i want to watch him or i robot and i'm in the shop and joining us today to discuss new york city's occupy city hall movement is jamie tiber good director of
11:36 am
development for new york city's bring new york communities for change thank you so much for joining us jamie a pleasure to have you on. thanks for having me on today. occupy city hall is demanding a $1000000000.00 taken off the new york city police department budget that is actually not as big of an ask as one a magic was given that the n.y.p.d. budget sits around 11000000000 jamie is there a deadline for there's the funding that you're calling for and where should this money be reallocated if it is indeed taken out of the police payroll or police budgets. yes a the budget vote is actually happening right now and in fact yesterday we got news that the mayor and the speaker of the council cory johnson have made a backroom deal but it's simply resell follows the 1000000000 dollar best from the n.y.p.d. and actually just scouts is that under the department of education and knowing that
11:37 am
there are schools out cops and the funding would still be at the discretion of the n.y.p.d. now the deadline is wednesday july 1st. and jamie what it's been mayor de blasio and other city officials response to your presence and city hall and the protest a man's. yes so the response to city hall has been i mean i would say i was unresponsive. you know i think they tried to have a meeting with some of the people on site and that meeting request was rejected and the people on site simply said you know i the man's you know we want you to be allocated a budget we know we are you know that we want to do it. or rather we know that you need to defund the n.y.p.d. and so they refused to meet with them. and people have also been self organizing and different actions outside of individual city council members as well as the
11:38 am
speaker and the mayor and i mean we haven't seen them we haven't heard from them i mean they will tweet a little bit here and there nominally supporting it but you know if we get them in person and say you know well you. actually vote no on a budget that doesn't reflect our demands. there's no nuance or you know since this push for true justice and equality began with the murder of george waterman we've been fighting for much longer than the person has really took you know really took momentum in the last few months we've seen brutal footage come out of new york city especially in recent weeks and their treatment of black lives matter protesters and other activists simply all marching what has been the police reaction to you know your occupied group so far all of a hamburger grows. the i mean. it's a defense 2 different questions right how have they been in general versus how are they with the people out there encampment i mean when the protests 1st began and
11:39 am
they were incredibly aggressive. all of the protests were peaceful or they would at least be good and peaceful until a cop. and so it and what escalates there would be undercover cops actually trying to escalate among people 'd. and in fact. an incarcerated person over at metropolitan detention center and some some park jamelle florida was pepper spray to death during the protests which then sparked another wave of protests. and we are also completely unaware of the people that they did not usually you know when there's a big protest people are at least aware of their friends or loved ones that have ended up being arrested and they know you know which. the saluki that they're being held that they are at least supposed to or they're at least able to have some sort of contact with them right now we have the protesters and we don't know where they
11:40 am
are being held when they're going to get out what sort of conditions there and and this is in the middle of a pandemic. is the word could there by the way because we're with these people are all out there practicing their 1st amendment right to protest and the police response solutions but deplorable sure the winners. and jamie judging by everything that's going on on the ground do you think you'll stay past the june 30th deadline if the city chooses not to be fun and y.p. what would your next steps look like. no that's really for people to decide and i think we will know better what are the spawn should be after tomorrow we're hearing that a new budget will be proposed 11 am tomorrow i don't really know what it's going to reflect or whether they're listening to any of the people that are you know protesting them you know there were individual actions last night and there were some today there will be more tonight. i don't know whether the actual split the calling camplin will remain. but the work will course continue i mean
11:41 am
before any of the calls to the on the police were mainstream you know we already had a campaign to free them all of which is a campaign to not only sweep criminalize survivors being held in your jails and prisons but anyone because we don't believe the prisons that exist there's also a campaign to cancel rents because we do not believe god promises private property should exist there's no them campaign to fight private i fly in from being built in new york so all of that work is connected all of that work will continue whether the actual is going kampman will remain it's up to the people really. jamie how difficult has it has this you know occupy style protest been to organize and keep going in new york and what would your advice be to others who may want to follow in your free speech what steps and say in other cities across the country and their
11:42 am
efforts to try to beef on the police you know do these encampments or these occupy style protest work and how difficult are they to kind of get everyone together and get everyone on the same page. i mean i think what's important to remember inside the thing can't win is just one of the men to talk with that are happening parallel and simultaneously i think one a good thing about an encampment and i knew think the term encampment instead of occupation because. there was a teachin at city hall where both talk about the colonization and the fact that you know every inch of the united states is occupied territory and why their term occupies a bit of a problem and so you respect those missions of people on site and i'm using encampment i think the plus side of an encampment is that we are physically there outside of city hall and so they simply cannot ignore. they cannot say that no one cared they cannot say that people didn't demand them of something. i think it was
11:43 am
easier for new york. of. as quickly as it did because we do have a history of encampments in new york of course most notably occupy wall street but even after that and before that there were smaller encampments you know outside of governor cuomo those office or wells fargo bank during the block protests. and so there were already i think a network of people who you know how those set of infrastructure who were aware of you know land laws like street laws sound laws so that we would be abiding by you know at least some sort of like wall is so that there is no unnecessary reason for the police to escalate. and you know different people nearby offering their bathrooms offering there are you know lobbies i think a lot of this was possible because we had already such
11:44 am
a good infrastructure so joe support during the protests i mean people even have porta potties that they were able to their own interests. so i think my take would be that for other places that might want to take this on or model themselves after those you know really think about whether it's strategic use of your time. and what sort of escalation are you trying to do is you know a location like city hall you've been very loyal to you. you know do you have a good number of people who can get the word out and mobilize are there enough networks that are organized to be able to sustain it and at the answers to those questions i know i would i think you know advise against it and focus on other types of very an occupation or it is very sound i'm sage advice and thank you so much for all the good work you're doing out there once again jamie tiber thank you so much. all right as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the
11:45 am
hawks on the manager of the brand new portable t.v. which is available now on all platforms you have no excuse but to get it coming up for me to cross a bridge to st louis from the mayor's dangerous response to the fun police movement in her city m m r t america's rachel brother blevins brings us the latest on the controversy and questions surrounding russian bounties in afghanistan boy i don't want to miss this stay tuned to watching the whole. the arrest and charging of. the jury and. what about the timing and the specific indictments what kind of the defense can be expected is a deal in the cards a week justice peace or.
11:46 am
some rumors assume to see the suit she's going to with. the new movie. there on those he's just going to wrap it up with a cigarette in your hear that of. his and then we. international community you. mean a new strain of the flu you don't have to tell. you just look at those who keep it as the slow slow slow use of the new orleans east. as the pollution of the world to use for the brazil so there are new calls for cooperation in antarctica is everything reduced to lead with the fun stuff to do with the above the. cars they have i would have acted all day but they decided not to take their place . would make it to you that.
11:47 am
11:48 am
the. call to deep on the police are melting with protestors across the us making moves to show not only how brutal police interactions often are with blacks but also how much city budgets over spend on police departments. in the wake of george floyd's death at the hands of minneapolis police just last month protesters are calling for changes in police behavior and advocating for something many find a bit more radical defunding the police or cutting the budgets and reallocating from police function to social services health and economic development some cities are answering the call new york mayor bill de blasio pledged to shift in y.p. budget to hughes and social services los angeles mayor eric garcetti bouts of call $150000000.00 from the l.a.p.d. to fund health care jobs and peace and others philadelphia canceled a planned $19000000.00 increase for the police department and shifted $14000000.00
11:49 am
of the police budget elsewhere including affordable housing but not every city is welcome the shift in police funds st louis missouri is on the defense in a big way st louis mayor little cousens went full on race stoking the flames of hate and putting a target on the backs of protestors in a facebook live appearance seen by thousands crewdson was asked about a meeting she'd had with protesters at city hall after grabbing papers and reading through a litany of activists requests she became agitated at how they wanted police budget spent crewdson went on to announce the names and home addresses of those seeking to be fun the police the video has since come down and kristen has apologized after the a.c.l.u. civil rights groups activists and elected officials far and wide condemned her is it so wrong to ask that $15000000.00 go to non-profits with a history of violence reduction like your violence is it wrong to ask that 60000000 go to health and human services apparently mayor cruz and believes so and
11:50 am
castigated protesters who met her with earnest to reach middle ground in the resources communities meet the most instead of hearing them out in meeting them where they were she decided to declare war against. i mean is this the age of the idiot politician because i. do something like i remember when politicians used to be afraid to offend the popular member when they used to be like i don't want to say this word because that might be offense or i don't want to do this stupid thing because i don't want to now it seems like oh you're absolutely correct parties have gotten way too powerful and elected officials aren't necessarily as afraid of the public as they probably used to be when it came to them getting removed at the ballot box so we're seeing them go all out and do things that we probably wouldn't seen just a few years ago gerrymandering ladies and gentlemen that's why you get politicians not afraid of losing elections you know i've been there why is the from the police
11:51 am
seeing this so radical why is this being seen as like some major and saying crazy thing by by a small section of the public and elected officials because of the narrative the american public and some elected officials have developed around policing the idea is this law and order capitalism type society where people are ok with blowing up police budgets because they assume that this is for the safety of the community what we know is that over the past 1520 years violent crime has gone down dramatically and there is no correlation with the extra cost of police budgets to the reduction of violent crime what we have seen is the areas that have strong health and human services areas that have hospitals clinics strong mental health support areas that have afterschool programs that young people can get involved in areas with strong economic development typically don't have high rates of violence we know that so it's not be the influx of police budgets or paying them or putting more into the budgets and be mindful it's not for the police themselves when the secondary argument is you're taking money from police officers who are putting
11:52 am
their lives on the line with the bloated police budgets and the increase in those police budgets police officers themselves have not seen increases in their salaries so this isn't going to pay the police officer bait and switch or it's like oh you're going to hurt them down. actually you know they're going to be where they were you know another thing to add on to that too that i think would help curb violence across the board and justify and get rid of the bloated police budgets that we're seeing is why don't we end the war on drugs at this point why don't we decriminalize and the war on drugs because look most gang right gang violence points to chicago where there's always been people being killed over again but if you have the war on drugs then there's no more violence because the mom's up the fight over anything you know you get rid of that section of the shadow economy and you're absolutely correct what people fail to realize is that a lot of the bloated budgets we're seeing now are part and parcel of the world drugs there was so much money millions billions in some cases thrown at cities to combat the war on drugs specifically for low level and in many cases nonviolent crimes and you're talking about people who had small small possession of weed and
11:53 am
we see that these bloated budgets continued and it's frustrating because even though we're now we're in this era of criminal justice reform there's still a mindset that we should fund these budgets at astronomical rates and it's something that a lot of people get an easy about when you talk about reallocating that funding to anything it runs away a lot of like how they talk about the defense department oh no you can't take any money away from this and that hurts that we only see the world through you know you were saying earlier today that most crimes are never actually reported to police and crime was very rarely solved actually this is the interesting part so we talk about violent crime going down violent crime has gone down by 51 percent since 1993 but so public perception has never really matched the data beyond that most crimes most even violent crimes are not actually ever reported to the police only 43 percent are of those crimes less than 46 percent of all crimes reported to the police are ever cleared so the police are actually capturing anyone and they are
11:54 am
actually really solving or getting to the bottom of the majority of things that they are actually called for so the idea that there is some law and order. behind the policing departments is a fallacy once you pay. go back the onion and look at the data that is so true and what really also kind of bothers me this too as i understand as well police are also put under that pressure show me results politicians always run on tough on crime if you don't show me the results then we're going to cut your budget going to cut so that's where you get a lot of these things where you see him evidence being planted you're seeing you know cases being solved you're seeing that thing happen because of what happens world they put all this pressure on members solve cases because the politicians promise law and crime lying to the public when crime is already falling exactly it's an easy thing to read a lot of people love to vote and say they're reducing crime but it's something that was happening years ago years ago. u.s. president donald trump it's once again on the defense chops claiming he was not made aware of a report that russian g.r.u. units paid taliban militants to kill u.s.
11:55 am
troops in afghanistan this comes on the heels of a report stating that trump knew about the bounty operation it's turning into a game of he said she said pretty quickly as trump continues to deny knowledge yet intelligence officials told the new york times and the associated press that the president was briefed here to impact this is r.t. america correspondent rachel weapons. welcome rachel thank you so much for having me. so. what is the official word been from all sides raised so we heard president come out and say that he denies this report denies of course that he was briefed and his claim that he made on twitter was really interesting because he went on to say that he talked to intelligence officials and they claim that they decided not to brief him on it because they saw the claims and they didn't think that they were credible and then of course he went on to go after the new york times claiming that they just wanted to publish this because they don't like him you know and that's kind of diver that you take and it's interesting because then
11:56 am
we see the response from russia and a spokesperson for president putin spoke out of and he said that he also denies these claims he denies that russia was involved in any of this and then he also went after the new york times by saying that they have published a number of false reports specifically about russia in recent years now it's interesting because when we look at this article that was published by the times we see that they actually admit that the taliban also denies these claims even though the taliban was the group that was supposed to be carrying out these attacks and paid to carry out because attacks in the 1st place you know we have the taliban coming out and calling these accusations false and baseless interesting and interesting smells very familiar territory one of the most claims are made by intelligence officials what were the specific claims made by the new york times in the water bill you say that they were told by these once again the most intelligence officials raised that they have this article is published in which they claim that the united states had proof as early as january there russia was actively paying taliban linked militants i want to take
11:57 am
a look at these claims and how they source them specifically because also interesting part here so they go on to say that they claim their report is based on conversations with anonymous american intelligence officials they say those officials have made their intelligence assessment based on interrogations of captured afghan militants which means that they were under duress when they allegedly claim the attacks were carried out by its. alabam linked militants now they claim that russia's motive for doing this would have been that the us was actively having peace talks with the taliban and that they wanted to keep the war in afghanistan going but when we look at what russia was actually doing during that time and $21000.00 we see that russia was on the forefront of pushing for peace in afghanistan they actually had delegates from both the taliban and the afghan government come to moscow to have meetings to talk about ways to pursue peace in the country and russian officials were speaking out and saying look this isn't going to happen through military force this is something that is going to take
11:58 am
diplomatic talks so we're not seeing any evidence here that russia was the one wanting the afghanistan war to continue going on but at the same time when we look back at 2019 we see that the united states was ramping up bombing campaigns in afghanistan at levels that we hadn't seen in over a decade and at the same time they were also killing more civilians in the country than the taliban was right and that's that's a lot to unpack that's fascinating once you talk about the level of duress that was probably you know being undertaken at the time that kind of killed the rest of the story for me at that point you say whatever we all knew that and then the thing for me too is it's always a thing whenever you see like the washington post or a lot of these media things saying oh we confirm this it usually means they went to the same anonymous officials to say hey is what you told the new york times i agree yeah it is you know up to wait and see and see what actually comes out what evidence is actually produced at the end of the day to back up the claims rachel always a pleasure of course thank you so much thank you already everybody that is our show for you today remember in this world we're not told the love the story to tell you
11:59 am
all i love you i robot is just keep on watching all those hawks out there and have a great day and. the arrest and charging of the lane maxwell and the saga takes a new turn what about the timing and the specific indictments what kind of defense can be expected is a deal in the cards and it will justice be served. welcoming
12:00 pm
our viewers from around the world live from central london this is a party u.k. . the u.k. government is forced to defend the prime minister after he said care homes didn't follow procedures during the corona virus outbreak that has experts claim 10 percent of infections have occurred among health and social care workers are we talking to a coal technology expert in. the u.k. government is accused of avoiding scrutiny of its coronavirus test and trace program following the decision to report the number of daily tests process rather than the number of people we hear from an expert in diseases from. the u.k. marks the 50th anniversary of the 77 terror attack on 3 london underground trains and a bus which killed 52 people and injured over 700. and an advisor to the head of russia's space agency has been arrested on suspicion of
12:01 pm
working for a foreign intelligence agency after 2 months in the job to get reaction from moscow . the u.k. government has defended prime minister boris johnson after he was slammed for saying too many care homes didn't really follow the procedures during the coronavirus pandemic care home bosses have called his remarks cowardly and clumsy and some accuse him of trying to shift the responsibility away from the government for the high death toll in care i want you case joins me now with more on this other recess so a lot of people that taking issue with the prime minister's words all day the absolutely true i mean this making clothes yesterday well in new york should be a strict. or number of not really following procedures that have been laid out by the book. that's going to be cases and of course this. as long
12:02 pm
bill an area of control to see the number of deaths which have taken place in the camp settings that have been accusations that the prime minister has been shifting responsibility away from his government to the cat homes for those deaths but the prime minister clear as to who he feels could have done better during the pandemic that one of the things that the crisis has shown is that we need to think about how we organize our social care package beto if you remember and how we make sure we look after people better who are in a social care i think has been there was it we discovered a too many care homes didn't really follow the procedures in the way that they they could have but we're learning lessons the whole time one of the most simple things is to is to fund them probably hoping other 600000000 into code compliant care homes but we'll also be looking at ways to make sure that the care sector long term
12:03 pm
is properly organized and supported so that that absolutely crucial part of people's lives is is is is properly cared for. now despite calls from care home bosses for the government to apologizing for boris johnson jura truck those statements down the street say that there won't be at this point yet anyway any apology forthcoming now up 230000 people are understood to have died during the pandemic in care homes after testing positive for coke at 19 and it's been an issue that for many of the bosses there are things like sourcing p.p.a. personal protective equipment which they say it's up to 90 percent of which they've had to source themselves but also accusing the government of threatening those cameras with funding cuts if they didn't take in people who had not even been tested for coke 19 or people who had tested positive even out of hospitals and into
12:04 pm
that care homes and those chief say that is why the virus spread as rapidly and it's devastatingly as it did in can home is not the issue was raised in parliament would be a shadow health secretary john ashworth raising it with his opposite number and. thousands of families have lost their loved ones in care homes this disease care workers themselves have died on the front line kind of understand why people are so insulted by the prime minister's remarks when he said too many care homes didn't really follow the procedure the county appreciate the hurt as bad as lead to cattle provided sedate for example describing the comment as clumsy and cowardly and county tell us that for which care homes didn't follow procedures and what these procedures were that apparently were not followed throughout this crisis care homes have done amazing work and the prime minister was explaining that because
12:05 pm
asymptomatic tac transmission was not known about the correct procedures were there are not known and we've been constantly learning about this virus from the start and improving procedures all the way through. the government already come in for criticism from the n.h.s. chief for the handling of the pandemic and it appears catto bosses as well so he aimed at the government not just for the response but what they've received is a shift of responsibility thank you very much indeed but to discuss this somehow joined by the general manager of a technology assisting tech company that's cap's correct thank you very much for joining us many health care bosses as we heard there have called boris johnson's comments incensed at but have been taken out of context i think now it's not the time to focus and accuse asians we need to understand that now we face a new reality the pandemic took everybody by surprise and it's not only do you creates a global impact and not only the care homes they care segment has impacted significantly
12:06 pm
because we need to take care of those seniors and bringing more and more funds would not do that in the true impact will will come by bringing in the konami bring the new methods bring in digital services to secure the same years not only in the care homes but in the entire care segments i think this is where we should focus the we should take this accusation has and the lack of fonts and the lack of babies aside in focus how can we adjust to the newly added the by embracing that in logic to secure those seniors in the facilities by in more patient money told what if ever the government has learned the lessons and could do better technologically with the potential 2nd wave of the virus. i think they do it out adjust to the new reality they do understand and we see newell's prospects that coming in embrace
12:07 pm
this technology we see not only in the u.k. we seen australia care homestake our solutions integrated with telecom and as in money told all the visit those to the killer we see corona in better looks market that takes the caregivers with the best the illogical solutions in keep them away to isolate the seniors and avoid the infections but only by bringing advanced technology we can bring efficient measures to keep those seniors safe and not by accuse ation in bringing more and more funds at what in more detail than what could the government do to make the situation better on a practical level i thing right now they'd get a just financed drink dos technology is to immediately to those facilities we can put it immediately to secure those for senate is each and every room to provide the caregivers specific tablets and money towards the money of those those seniors remotely and if the seniors from coming in and doing everything go in most of the
12:08 pm
things buy in most measures and therefore to cut 90 to 95 percent of those unnecessary infections what do you expect the prime minister in light of what he said to issue an apology have his comments but also to embrace the idea of a technology going forward. i have here's little choice everybody around the globe need to embrace the new reality it andries if they give it something that we have never faced in the last decades we need to understand that the rules of the game change and we need to out there and we we could dive into the accusations but it wouldn't help us we need to think how can we do better how can we improve only by bringing new technologies we can't avoid from the 2nd in detail in the 4th in the 5th waves and even the vaccine will read those seniors and been told kill segment
12:09 pm
to be much safer as they deserve to be about cats thank you very much indeed for joining us my pleasure kate well meanwhile a report claims a lack of personal protective equipment is likely to have contributed to the high number of covert 1000 infections among health and social care workers in england a group called the data evaluation unlearning for viral epidemics claims around 10 percent of covert 1000 infections in england occurred among workers in the health and social care sector or meanwhile patients in hospitals made up around one percent of corona virus infections but the report also suggests that care home residents made up around 6 percent of infections it's also been revealed that 90 n.h.s. workers in london have died from the disease. while the u.k. government has denied accusations that its a boarding scrutiny over its test and trace program it comes as daily data on its testing program will now reflect the number of tests processed rather than the amount of people tested well the opposition labor party has criticised the decision
12:10 pm
it accuses the government of wanting to hide the fact that it never reached the target set in may 100000 tests a day but the government has defended the move saying that under the old system repeated tests for health care workers were only counted once we've added that the number of tests counted would still be included in weekly data. the department of health and social care will no longer publish the number of people tested daily anymore and will instead publish the number of daily tests processed this is because the daily people tested statistic only counts new people being tested for example someone who is tested in february and then tested again this month will only be counted once test and trace statistics published weekly will still include the number of people who have been tested or meanwhile the government's own figures suggest around turned a half 1000000 tests made available have gone to waste data published by the department of health said over 10500000 tests have been made available since the
12:11 pm
