find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. the american city. a. federal agency. the previous presidents overseas to improve their reelection. and paying for damages to cities in the u.s. . reparations for minority communities a move that. was going to. be trillions of dollars to come up with. and they couldn't come up with.

african-americans in this country. is that pleaded with them to bring forward the measure of. cases in. deployed in israel where the public's frustrated with the government's response to the. corruption scandal involving the part of. you watching r.t. and. let's begin this hour in the u.s. city of portland which is seen protesters against police brutality and racial inequality setting fire to the police association building donald trump's accuse

local authorities of failing to contain the unrest portland's merrin turn to slam the president's decision to deploy federal agents in the city. looks at the bigger picture surrounding the recent escalation. for 50 nights protests and riots have raged in the city of portland what began as a stand against racism is morphing into something else into wellness the scale version of the civil war except this time it isn't their north against the south these top it's the right versus the left.

and for a certain someone currently in the white house added keen to stay there that could play right into his allegedly small hands over the past decade american presidents have fancied military jools wars to drum up support for reelection bush with iraq a bomber with libya but trump current caddy he campaigned promising to end foreign wars foreign wars so why not imitate one of whom wealth or terry in government's not democratic republic send unmocked of thirty's off to protest his these trumped ban tactics designed to eliminate any accountability absolutely unacceptable in america and must stand the senator had a point this is like something out of iraq that again trump did threaten to use the military to stamp out these protests he's already used the national god.

trump has an election to win and trump's campaign plan doesn't seem to involve getting in his knees he will be hot he will be hosh that's what his vote is expect and the authorities in portland fear that trump has begun an invasion this is an attack on our democracy president trump has used our city as a staging ground to further his political agenda igniting his base to cause further divisiveness let's be clear this is not political theater this is far more dangerous than not we have federal officers on our streets further escalating tensions and causing harm to portlanders right now dog trump the president of the

sec i mean the right has an exact he kept his plans a secret his speech had now and rushmore the one with military jets flying overhead that was almost a textbook declaration of war there is a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance if you do not speak its language perform its rituals reset its mantras and follow its commandments then you will be censored banished blacklists persecuted and punished it's not going to happen to us. and as with any war you need a main bad guy so saddam's dead gadhafi is gone bin laden's been well killed so what about that other fella what does they do biden you won't be safe joe buds

america joe biden would be nothing more than an autopen president. a trojan horse for a radical agenda. so radical so all encompassing that it would transform this country . into something utterly unrecognizable it is ironic isn't it that the country that prides itself on being the freest in the world the only country with absolute free speech they tell us all day every day how those same people can't stand free speech when it's coming from someone they don't like both the right and the left are guilty of this there's no new give no understanding no compromise in either of them it's either their way or go to hell or democratic bear in the us city of providence has from us that he will seek to right the wrongs of the past the reparations process for minority communities

thank you but. when there says that the process is a major step forwards it will see meetings held over storage contentious issues and the review of laws perceived to discriminate against black and indigenous communities but not everyone is in favor while acknowledging that the liberal left agenda has failed black in minority communities in contemporary times by forcing their children to attend failed schools and by enacting policies that make it easy to become dependent on the government it would be an unprecedented and immoral act of government to seek reparations for the horrible wrongs that were committed generations ago reparations were also approved in the u.s. city of asheville where money will be invested into poor black communities the authorities in both cities say that initiatives are just the beginning of wider changes. a lot of folks are going to jump straight to the reparations question

how much what form for how long who's eligible those are all legitimate questions but they're questions for another day and there are questions that will be answered through the process it's important to go step by step with this resolution is the 1st year in that it names that their list of. the. weighted against the black community and it is very gay we discuss the control of the surrounding the reparations process with resurfacing author and political analyst and anthony brown logan a political and social issues commentator. just kind of the same thing they always do during elections or any other time or some kind of so far and raised away from this is over going to do a study were going to figure it out i mean how is he not figured out yet slavery ended 865 to 02020 what are we really going to study what are really going to try

to figure out is trying to calculate i mean you should know about now never has the government ever taken one step towards understanding and calculating and studying the effects and the impact of slavery on african-american people now it allows people like a.b.l. to come in and make statements oh it's not necessary oh there's no need for this or even to do it right now who's going to pay for our you can pay for a reason to your own tax money how about me out of my own tax money because the government only makes money from us when there needed to be a $1200.00 stimulus checks and out no one was saying oh well that comes from the taxpayer that's a refund we shouldn't do that now and so why is it that they could find money to come up with to pay $12.00 trillions of dollars to come up with a payment for people who need food when they and they couldn't come up with the same amount of money to restore african-americans in this country who they actually affirmatively took actions to harm that's ridiculous to me so i appreciate why who

is they who is right now be more then who is they does need to be more than lip service and right now lance asheville city is doing a resolution but here's the issue asheville needs to do more than a resolution they need to come up with an actual dollar figure how much they won't black people were harmed by their actual city who knows how much money going to need up because all bob johnson the former owner of the $14000000.00 i mean where is it going to come from the value is money was bad enough he's talking about 6 to again and the reason why that was given to reese's point is because the government say that we came out work and we can now go on here and make money the actual you know. mechanism upon which the money will be delivered who do see is not going to be defined nor will it ever be because all they've ever done for to pay a $100.00 or so years is say we promise you do this we promise you day with no promises ever deliver you can't provide reparations by definition until you know

what you need to repair there needs to be an assessment of what has been done what black people have suffered specifically and so that's why it's not the solution it needs to be but we and we don't want organizations to keep our or our communities to start slapping reparations on top of every community redevelopment effort and calling it reparations if it's not if it was going to happen it should have been. identified as slave master in a slave fair transaction and now 2020 it would be me pain it would be respond it makes no sense that oh. wearing a face mask is now obligatory in all enclosed public spaces in france masks were previously only compulsory on public transport and in some shops the rule came into force today initially it was to be introduced only in august but french doctors urged the government to bring it in earlier let's go live now to our correspondents in charlotte dubin ski joins us now good morning charlotte explain to us and all

the details of these new measures. well this means that from day wearing a mask inside enclosed spaces will be mandated that means that you will have to do it before now it was mandated to wear masks as you mentioned on public transport or even in shops where they had asked customers to do that now it means if you're over the age of 11 you will have to wear a mask present macron mentioned this in his july 14th is bastille day dress but he said that this was going to start in august now after that there was an outcry from doctors who said why not bring this in suger that combined with the fact that there's been an uptake in the transmission rate of 1000 in parts of france over the last 3 weeks is meant that the prime minister announced that monday would be the day means that anyone who is not following the new regulations will face

a fine of 135. starting this monday wearing masks will be mandatory in enclosed places as announced by prime minister john kass sticks this includes shops public buildings covered markets banks protective measures and testing remain essential in tackling the virus effectively . well what's really interesting is just a few months ago the french government was saying that masks were not essential in the fight against the transmission of that 19 this is at a point when france didn't have mass to go to and they were saying only needed to wear a mask if you were somebody who had been 19 or you were a health care professional and dealing with people but now it's deemed that wearing a mask is in this central tool in the fight against transmission of course france

has plenty of masks at the moment but some newspapers have been talking about the cost here of wearing a mask and wearing them every day one calculate the cost for a family of $4.00 individuals who are both the children being over the age of 11 it was saying if you buy masks that you can walk again this would be a cost of around 96 euros a month but if you decided to wear the single use masks that you discard after every use that would cost a family more like $228.00 euros so quite a lot of money every month to find where those masks however this ruling has been welcomed by many. sit down you don't feel one lately i've been noticing a lot of people coming in without masks i don't want to be rude but the either stay outside or they come in and i put their glasses on and they go away but i don't actually get close at all so for me the mask is very important and it's very good

and this is necessary for it should be put on what we protect others and we protect ourselves and then there you are it's an effort that we all have to make so we do it. on a. feeling sometimes it has gone back to the weird was before people have kind of forgotten about it we've put in place a lot of procedures but it's true that on the beach people feel much more at ease than in a restaurant. but just like everywhere else not everyone is happy about this new regulation some people have been complaining that wearing a mask means it's quite difficult to communicate you can't see friendly gestures from people and the reality is that sometimes when somebody's speaking with a mask on they do sound a little bit muffled now public transport here in france it's already been compulsory to wear the mask for many many weeks with the risk of fine already there but despite that despite the fact that there have been security agents going

through the metro stations and train stations and handing out fines many people have not been wearing a mask on public transport and there's even been a really dramatic turn here for the worse in france a very deadly issue just in the last week or so down in the south of france in your was attacked by passengers who he apparently confronted because of their refusal to wear a mask he was attacked and he later died of his injuries it's a very emotive subject not just here in france but in other countries too but it seems the issue of wearing a mask or not wearing a mask will remain divisive because charlotte our correspondent reporting live from paris. speaking globally when lock down restrictions were imposed because of coronavirus many people found themselves stranded in a country away from home with flights and trains council must didn't stop one

determined greek student from finding a route back. i remember i told my dad when we were talking about the floods and how i was going to get home and he said as a joke you know and i said you know i've been considering i've been considering coming but by and he said do it and i said no i'm serious if you if you support me and if you help but i'll do it and he says well ok let's look into it.

especially at the start. i was not very optimistic and even though the word time is right i thought you know what this isn't so difficult. most of my day was filled with stress and with glory and the only thing that i have to hold on to was i'll let me just finish this one day and one more day that's all and then 2 more i can feel i don't care i'm just going to finish this one day and then from there on i see it and day by day i kept doing that that's what that's what kept me going even though i did not say it was going to finish the trip. even though it was very difficult looking back on it i would 100 percent do it i do

it with the knowledge i have and i think it's going to be even more fun. and next time i do it i'll do it with the friends so i can share the whole experience of the trip. people in israel are angry over how the government's handling the pandemic has clashes and scuffles between police and demonstrators erupted in jerusalem bring you that story under this after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from.

isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. what is true. is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or inmate in the shallowness. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back what's a cannon were unleashed in the streets of jerusalem over the weekend this place

they're trying to disperse protest against the government's handling of the pandemic scuffles and clashes also seen in television as frustration with the current israeli prime minister fears of getting infected. why. ok let's look at why people are unhappy the protesters condemned the government's handling of the health crisis generally and in particular the recent return of restrictions amid a spike in the infection rate they also say that the prime minister and his cabinet have failed to manage the economic fallout of the pandemic on top of all that there is simmering anger over corruption charges against binyamin netanyahu the premier's

corruption trial will resume in january that will be with witnesses and testimonies he's accused of fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes despite the looming trial that netanyahu says that he is focused on ending the covert crisis while we have a common goal to stop the spread of the coronavirus by various measures i remind ministers that only thursday i have requested each ministry is planned very safe exit from the coronavirus restrictions. school analyst michel barak and former advisor to the president's office jason perlow and shared with us their thoughts on the current tensions in israel. but there was functioning and everything did seem under control until everything went back we celebrated too soon here and that and you know for all the good work that he did in the 1st wave really wasn't there the 2nd time around a large group of protesters are protesting that the prime minister is are up in the

midst of a fraud trial and he should resign protesters that really are problematic for those that are out of work those that are from industries which are not picking up the tourism industry the entertainment industry there are people that are just out of work and economically are suffering so he needs to answer those people he's going to have to come out with what are really economic plan that is going to put israel back on to a strong economy as we move through different stages both politically because we had a new government sworn in and in terms of the pandemic itself with new numbers emerge there's been a sort of imbalance between those 2 things and there's a genuine feeling on the street that we could be doing things differently and we could be doing things better now we have a working government there's a strong opposition on a strong opposition will voice its checks and balances on the new prime minister and on his government policies and that's expressed on the streets as well it's pretty much part and parcel of the democratic debate around how to handle both

economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. since war erupted in eastern ukraine who despite a lack of media coverage these days is still going on pro-government forces are still fighting rebels in the self-proclaimed republics of lugansk and people still dying on the battlefield is not easy it is done of explains those killed are always ukrainian. a ukraine army soldier dies in combat his comrade grabs a squad of brothers in arms and ventures out on a recovery mission. there if you. don't have the. money and you can only refer me this video would become his last though and he key of rebel forces recovered the camera from the body of mccall in after his life was ended by a landmine. and unfortunate death

unlucky even though he wasn't shot in combat he wasn't even a target he simply ran at the wrong time in the wrong direction and too fast in his own demise but well soldiers die it's just the gruesome nature of the ukrainian war zone the fighting between the state army and forces loyal to the self-proclaimed annette's can glue gun screw public's has been going on for years yet this death caught the gaze of the united states i want to express you know since deep sadness at the reporter killing yes to every korean military medic who joined the people of you created condemning the ongoing brutal aggression of russia that forces in the us and pay tribute to ukrainians killed and wounded fighting for their democracy well pump aoe got it all wrong because ellen was and is still me and citizen not a ukrainian he was also a mercenary and had a badge reading medic his commander straight out blyde claiming that he and his

squad had been dressed in white vests and helmets the footage from ellen's body can clearly shows they were indistinguishable from regular combatants here's a photo we got from the rebels it's black and white and even to a color blind person the vest of the medic here is not white. and this green on green chevron was the only medic designation discovered on the body alongside munition a k a rifle and a heap of grenades and according to a conversation allegedly found in his phone dylan didn't exactly come to ukraine to save lives he listened to me there is a herd of ukrainian pigs which need to be put in the stable they are degenerates they do need a white master we will bring them to heal and then screw we we've got things to do blacks should be faced down it seems the only white thing about this medic was his

racism but there could be more than simple lack of research behind compos condemnation of the killing the us secretary of state could be concerned of american guns for hire also fighting on the frontlines in ukraine in the same unit as the medic here is shown a proud texan an iraq war veteran and ill in squad mate who even used to be presumed dead by the forces until verse video. you'd be shown still alive here in surgery 17th. sean fuller from texas syria hard and damien gonzalez from new york justin from florida these are just some photos discovered on the phone of the stone ian ukraine's front line is apparently guarded by the foreign legion 2.0 and the u.s. state department is known to do more than just track american mercs back in 2011

for instance its reach went so far beyond that it was on the verge of commanding a force made up of the likes of fuller and co so no wonder really illinois death got on washington's raiders so quickly and stirred such concern not because he's a medic but because an american might be next to a cheetah. goal of the u.s. military industrial complex is simply to create trouble for russia so they certainly do know in general what's going on quite sure their international connections to the people who are fighting in the. rich world known really fear that sir is quite possible that people in the deep state in the us will engineer provocations so the political leadership will then force to take decisions which they perhaps don't really want just don't really want to take

and that's not all because in wasn't some stray soldier of fortune and hickey of fighters discovered official ukrainian army papers on him this story and was even eligible for benefits from the ukrainian government as a thank you for his service after all guns aren't hired for free and with american mercs officially enlisted in the ukrainian army the united states might expect some security guarantees from the commander in chief from self president vladimir selenski now it's not just him and his friends in washington who know about foreign guns doing ukraine's bidding in the war and both kiev and the us would want to keep ukraine's own little foreign legion and become of large. following the death of the soldier a local ukrainian prosecutor's office open an investigation into potential premeditated murder the country's foreign minister has promised the death will not go unnoticed by ukraine's international partners the u.s.

embassy in ukraine has responded by condemning the continuous brutal aggression by russian led forces in the dumbass. ok appreciate you company this morning you all right up today it's about with all these headlines and often oh. the world is driven by dreamers shaped past and present those with. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.
