let me stress. this. point ch your thirst for. the american city of. federal agents to. look at its tactics used by previous presidents overseas to improve their reelection chances. so paying for historical damage to cities in the us to initiate preparations for minority communities a move that the question. who's going to pay for it are you. how about me out of my own tax money be throwing in the dollars to come up with people . and they could come up with the same amount of money she'll restore african

americans in this country. wearing masks in. front of them. pleaded with the government to bring forward the measure coronavirus cases in some regions. i. want to count on a deployed in israel where the public frustrated with the government's response to the pandemic as well as a corruption scandal involving the prime minister. by the very good morning to be international. must begin in the u.s. city off portland which has seen protesters against police brutality and racial inequality setting fire to the police association building accuse local authorities of failing to contain the. internists land the president's decision to deploy

federal agents in the city correspondent run guess the of looks of the bigger picture surrounding the recent escalation. for 15 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 is of their north against the south these top it's the right versus the left. and for a certain someone currently in the white house had 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 tearing governments not democratic republic send unmocked of thirty's off to protest is these trumped bar 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 voters expect and the authorities in portland fear that trump has begun an invasion this is an attack on our democracy president 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 officers on our streets further escalating tensions and causing harm to portlanders right now dawdled trump the president of the so 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 want b 6 a job owes america job i would be nothing more than an auto pen president. the

trojan horse for a radical agenda. so radical so all encompassing that it would transform this country. into something totally out recognisable 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 are 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 the democratic mayor in the city of providence has promised that he will seek to right the wrongs of the past through a reparations process for minority communities the masses the process is a just step towards a major step forwards it will say meetings held over historically contentious

issues and a review of laws perceived to discriminate against black and indigenous communities but not everybody is in favor one 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 he for the horrible wrongs that were committed generations ago reparations also approved in the city of asheville the money will be invested into poor black communities in the thirty's in both cities so that the initiatives are just the beginning of why the 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 resurface and author political analyst and also with brian 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 a way to give primacy is over going to do a study were going to figure it out i mean how are we not figured out yet slavery ended 865 to say year 2020 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 out oh it's not necessary oh there's no need for this are going to do it right now who's going to pay for it are you go pay for a result of 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 in doubt no one was saying oh well that comes from the taxpayer that's a refund we should 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 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 atlanta 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 of how much they won't black people were harmed by their actual city who knows how much money going to need because. the former owner of the say something like 14 trillion dollars i mean where is it going to come from the value is money was bad enough you talking about $6.00 to again and the reason why that was given to a research point is because the government say that we came out work and we can go out here and make money the actual you know. the mechanism upon which the money will be delivered and who does it 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 do 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 end we don't want organizations to keep or 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 babying 18 states identified as slave master in a slave fair transaction and now 2028 of the me painted it'd be rescreened it makes no sense at all. the 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 urge the government to bring it in earlier starting this monday wearing masks will be mandatory in enclosed places as announced by prime minister john kass takes this includes shops public buildings covered markets banks protective measures and testing remain essential in tackling the virus effectively. a correspondent spokesman parish explains the pros and cons of this new rule but 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 couvade 19 this is at a point 2 in france didn't have mass to go to and they were saying only needed to wear a mask if you are somebody who had been 19 or you were a health care professional in dealing with people but now it's deemed that wearing a mask is an essential 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 $1.00 calculate the cost for a family of $4.00 individuals who have 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 $96.00 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 euros to quite a lot of money every month to find to wear those masks however this ruling has been welcomed by many. you don't you don't legally have 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 and then 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 it should be put on what we protect others and we protect ourselves and then there you are it's enough for that we all have to make so we do it. on. you and sometimes it has gone back to the way it 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 handing out finds many people have not been wearing a mask on public transport it's a very emotive subject not just here in france but in other countries too but it seems usual wearing a mask or not wearing a mask will remain divisive. globally and our lockdown restrictions were 1st imposed many people found themselves stranded in

a country away from home with flights and trains counsel. but it didn't stop one determined greek student from finding a route back. i remember i told my dad we were talking about the floods and how i was going to get home at the end he said as a joke you know and i said you know i've been considering i've been considering coming 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 just right i thought you know what this isn't so difficult. also my pay was filled with stress and with glory and the only thing that i have to hold on to was out 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'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 that i would 100 percent be with 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 all the experience of the trip. people in israel angry about how the government's handling the pandemic is clashes and scuffles between police and demonstrators have erupted in jerusalem we'll bring you that story and others after the break. one of the greatest if not the greatest church in the history appreciative he will soon be converted into a mosque what is the importance of the hottest of the. europe's energy security is not going to get its eggs in the balance. the world is

driven by shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. come back water cannon were unleashed in the streets of jerusalem at the weekend us

police are trying to disperse protest against the government's handling of the pandemic scuffles and clashes were also seen in television as frustration with the current israeli prime minister shouldn't fear is getting infected. the 2. so let's take a look at why people are unhappy the protesters condemned the government's handling of the health crisis generally in particular the recent return of restrictions amid a spike in need for action rate they also say the prime minister and his cabinet are failed to manage the economic fallout of the pandemic now on top of all that

the simmering anger over corruption charges against binyamin netanyahu the premier's corruption trial that will resume in january with witnesses testimony caesar accused if you don't remember of fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes despite that looming trial though netanyahu himself says he's 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 by thursday i have requested each ministries plan for a safe exit from the coronavirus restrictions. at least 28 people were arrested as a result of the unrest in jerusalem and tel aviv political analyst michel barak and forward advisor to the president's office jason perlow shared with us their thoughts on current tensions in israel. there was functioning and everything did seem under control until everything went back we celebrated too soon here and that's when you know for all the good work that he did in the 1st wave really

wasn't there this 2nd time around a large group of protesters are protesting that the prime minister is corrupt he's in the midst of a fraud 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 one or really konami 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 stronger position on a stronger position will voice its checks and balances on the on the prime minister and on his government's policies and that's expressed on the streets as well it's

pretty much part and parcel of the democratic debates around how to handle both economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. it's be more than 6 years since war erupted in eastern ukraine and despite a lack of media coverage these days it is still going on pro-government forces are still fighting rebels in the self-proclaimed republics of the guns and and yet people are still dying on the battlefield there's artie's correspondent don if explains those killed always ukrainian. a ukraine army soldier dies in combat is called married grabs a squad of brothers in arms and ventures out on a recovery mission but in a firmer ground to show. you can only refer them 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 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 states army and forces loyal to the self-proclaimed dinette republics 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 us to recreate a military medic who joined the people have you created condemning the go improve the aggression of russia that forces in the us and pay tribute to ukrainians killed and wounded fighting for their democracy well pump 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 up 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. again this green on green chevron was the only medic designation discovered on the body alongside ammunition and 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 there 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 squad mate who even used to be presumed dead by the forces until verse video. be shown still alive here in surges 17th. shorn full of from texas syria hard and damien gonzalez from new york just in from florida these are just some photos discovered on the phone of this 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 cheap. the goal of the u.s. military industrial complex is simply to create trouble for russia they certainly do know in general what's going on i'm quite sure there are international connections to the people who are fighting in the ukraine and which world known really fear that is quite possible 'd 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 change 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 himself president vladimir the landscape 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 u.s. would want to keep ukraine's own little foreign legion and become of large. or following the death of that soldier a local ukrainian prosecutor's office open an investigation into potential
