a government recommended news website aimed at british schoolchildren to write a damning article on russia and tells its teenage audience that a lot of your putin is the most dangerous man in the world. and spain slopped with fresh travel restrictions by several nations including britain and france after a search and crown of cases. very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. gunshots were heard overnight during protests in the u.s. city of portland oregon and which 2 people were arrested there are now been more than 2 months of nationwide unrest over racism elsewhere an s.u.v. was driven through a crowd of demonstrators on saturday and a stubber of a colorado state capitol many managed to get out of the way but police say one

protester fired a weapon and that 2 people were injured as a result of less than a 100 days to go until america chooses its next president it seems the black lives matter protests are impacting the campaign. this was an earthquake unlike any earthquake i've really seen as hillary clinton cannot seem to extinguish a growing firestorm over her e-mails the state department has released a giant collection of e-mails from hillary clinton's private server others from campaign. a nother billing scandal of the day with hand but there are so many it's hard to keep track of there have been many many historic astounding shocking moments a year remember america's crazy election year 2016 well whatever molestus and for schools that it sure has put itself on steroids since then turning the run up to this year's vote and to the plot of a biblical disaster. that

what you just saw is only this weakens all 3 protests descended so much into chaos they gained a whole new dimension of violence they transformed america's streets into a prowling ground for militia like groups from both the political left and right brandishing their weapons in arizona an unknown arsonist torched

a democratic party h q. our building has been completely ruined your storage fees are continuing their investigation and our labeling this is arson we are saddened by this act of violence but not deterred we will flip pash tag maricopa county blue this november violent attacks targeting politically vocal people were a 2016 nightmare but a horror on a different scale is haunting america now. stab 7 inches inside of my. luckily somehow it missed major major. ok you know this from supporter claims he was stabbed by a protest i'm in a parallel case republicans are demanding an investigation into what they call the political murder of a prominent activist like george floyd of burnout from mel was black unlike george

floyd easier to inspire artwork in commemoration of his execution style killing because of tremendous well known political activism and the possibility that his motive could be politically motivated i respectfully request that united states attorney matthew kruger open an investigation into this heinous crime no american should fear for their personal safety because of where they live or their political affiliation. well no american should fear but many do according to a poll from a libertarian think tank speaking out is becoming america's newest phobia in this woke climate and while rocks are held from all sides of the political spectrum republicans seem to be scared way more than their democrat rivals we did a bit of our own polling on the streets of new york it happens a lot of voices everywhere on all sides because people are afraid of confrontation and people are more who are frankly not willing to listen to each other there's

a lot of judgment being thrown here left and right a question at least so many people can't get their opinion including me can't argue with the believe. now when i when we japanese i try not. to mind if i can avoid it in the past i would close my mouth and just but now how many people because it's time for people to have a book we want to 16 people were arrayed to express their views those who supported were ready to say it so they didn't say so they just voted for trump and yes you could absolutely see the same thing this year 2020 he will why in your poll are the crack down at their jobs for having views that are either politically conservative or some just revenues are politically liberal they're posting their views in a private secret facebook groups of action or they're afraid of very real

retaliation that is happening in the homestretch to this presidential election in the us is a micro cause for the disasters of 2020 as soon as something bad happens and you tell yourself well at least that will be over soon you get floored by something even worse. the political turmoil stateside is continuing to spur on a profound rethink of america's past. more previously alone the figures are finding their names dragged on to the dishonors list a leading 20th century women's rights activist is now up there to tell you why later in the program. british school pupils are getting a solid lesson and who's good and who's bad in the world at least according to an online current affair source aimed at teenagers the day website comes recommended by the education department and guess who teens are being told is the most dangerous man in the world are to taylor's been taking

a look. we try to explain events without bias we campaign for clear and balance knowledge of the world oh sorry i should explain what i'm doing introducing the day dot co dot u.k. a handy little website designed as a teaching aid for school children it takes current events and ties the men to school subjects sounds great right well so does it slogan here it is news to open minds well there are lots of categories so science technology climate one conflict well take a peek i want to expected doesn't alter about russia well let's click on that putin to be. this is shocking my mind has been truly opened what naughty things has russia been doing desired to undermine the us during the cold war. not exactly

current and just opening my mind wasn't do you was trying to do exactly the same thing us good u.s.s.r. bad city me i forgot and look years on the same old tricks help donald trump when the 2016 us presidential election classic began just opening my mind a little bit here what about the whole thing you know the report that took 22 months cool server $25000000.00 and found 0 pieces of evidence what is the link to that whatever we've all moved on it's real tough on to the bridge. and yes there's a little provision about me building a mosque but you get to take over eastern europe by force that is a good all for goodness russians busy it's doing bad things in the u.k. to let see may also have interfered very convincing in britain's breck's at referendum on the 29000 general election but again really just opening my mind here

did the prime minister pub. debug that myth there is. absolutely no evidence of either the scene of any russian interference in u.k. democratic process i mean i think that this is there sure is not russian interference in u.k. politics there is no evidence for that and deja vu moola did the ukase russia report also forget to provide. what's the word it's not in this article proof but then again that's optional moving on political opponents have been imprisoned on trumped up charges with violent deaths you know what i've heard about this apparently putin even admitted to it giving names i will say it's and not just once what would you do if someone like robert muller was investigating you obviously haven't killed this is just to hire away let's just skip to the end tom putin be stopped well i hope so given all these things he's apparently allegedly seemingly

by all accounts purportedly reportedly supposedly done one other question for the kiddies should russia be expelled from the united nations how wonderful shaping global policy from a young and uninformed day oh look that's recommended reading the new york times must a piece on how russia paid the taliban to kill u.s. troops in afghanistan i am so glad they gave the link to that because that really opened my mind to true john and as i'm absolutely no evidence on anonymous sources quoting other anonymous sources amazing apparently if you read that you are an expert on ruthless russia while call me an expert then i just think you know round of applause for this website founder richard outis veteran journalist and self-proclaimed fighter of fake news it is clear there are schools are actually vital in encouraging children to burry through the rubbish and ritual out the truth

well thank goodness. for the day dot co dot ok at and balance i'm not aware if not all of the indoctrination nonono to the good old opening young minds. hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers were given a shock over the weekend after the british government unexpectedly reversed roles on travel to and from spain and i have to quarantine for a fortnight when they return after a search and covered cases there are tears as alley has been across some of their reaction you see in the number of measures now being put in place whereby those people who are visiting spain will now have to come back and observe the city you can observe a 2 week. quarantine period if you will and these are due to reports of a 2nd wave flaming up of the covert $900.00 virus in spain this is go to be well considered to be

a blow to spain's tourism industry because it would really put people off from taking a holiday there and as far as officials inside spade it concerned all of these new measures with regards to travelling to the country are completely overblowing the situation spain is safe it is safe for spaniards it is safe for tourists as in every other country we are seeing outbreaks which are perfectly under control most new cases are symptomatic. many brits have started to slowly start booking holidays again many of them to spain but now there are worries that of course once they go on holiday say for a week or 2 and they have to then come back to the u.k. and quarantined for 2 weeks there are questions as to whether employers across the country would be happy to have their employees stay home for such a long period of time there are still many people who have just been sort of left in a lurch right now. if they're like the government is attacking start that way to help

. everyone into account when i think they're as you say have come back from her relaxing break in barcelona the sort of anxiety that the stress is you know as to how high how did you know right things aren't. bringing their friend of hers. was very tough enough to want her to have a harder very strange day or has been on holiday and are at a nice time and her are not news and have to be and it's hard for her to you rita is really devastated because that's all i want to go out and fast passes to get away from home and get away for not down here has hammered home behind me you know how can you not hit and since our car sounds history 10110 brits made up this 5th of all tourists in spain last year and so perhaps understandably officials and people involved in the tourism industry inside spain worry about the impact this is going to have on them in an already very difficult

you're likely space isn't the only country which is fearing a rise in the number of cases introduced there are talks to reduce traffic flows in and out of the country they're afraid health chiefs who fear that progress has been lost and there's now a need for tightening up border controls from other high risk countries and also internally the trans. self is suffering from a potential 2nd wave than we've been hearing from the french prime minister who's been speaking on some of those border restrictions which is a country that's had to put in place what's it be civil up there are some countries our borders are closed so the only passengers moving and this is important to underline a french citizens residing there or citizens from those countries who have a residence in france and all these fears of a 2nd case much like that 19 has done from the beginning of this crisis has really

put a strain on intro and european solidarity everything the european union stands for . the scope is widening and the united states as it undergoes a fundamental rethink of its checkered past historical figures have long been celebrated are now out of favor when judged by today's morality and ethics that now includes a prominent 20th century women's rights activists and reports. from state to state america's entire historical narrative seems to be in the process of being reworked historical figures that have long been held up with admiration are being castigated statues are being removed. off.

the latest to join this list is feminist icon and founder of planned parenthood margaret sanger she was on the forefront of the fight for birth control and reproductive choice she established the birth control league which today is known as planned parenthood and is one of the top providers of reproductive health care in the united states well now this clinic here in manhattan is a racing her name why well in addition to fighting for women's reproductive rights margaret sanger was an advocate of eugenics birth control does not mean conscious hampshire indiscriminately practiced it means the release of cultivation of the better elements in our society and the gradual suppression elimination and eventual extinction of detective stalks those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of american civilization she had a project pushing contraception in the us south here's one particular quote about it that stands out we don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the group population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it

ever occur to any of their more rebellious members now that sounds pretty awful her supporters might argue she was simply emphasizing that she actually wanted to protect african-american lives and to be fair later on dr martin luther king did actually praise her for her contributions to the black community but the racist statement stands out and planned parenthood is now making amends there are talks with new york city about. removing sanger's name from a street sign near these offices on bleecker street planned parenthood was founded by racist white women that is a part of history that cannot be changed accusations of racism sexism and other isms are so widespread in america these days many people are starting to take them with a lot less weight furthermore it's doubtful that cancelling margaret sanger will result in critics of planned parenthood dropping this long standing allegation if anything it will confirm that they were right all along caleb artsy new york.

still had the hollywood movie machines not playing ball and america's worst thing relations with china among our stories after the break why box office takings are trumping political pressure and the world's 2nd biggest film market. the thing is that when you have money printers in charge the act of printing all that paper money to hang around eyes themselves really fills their head with dreams of its fiat's of primacy that's the ultimate form of supremacy is i print therefore i am and if you can pull the levers of political power with their fear of money if you can acquire assets with their fear of money it gives you that god complex that

we have so much of around the world and countries and big corporations and now it's all going to come crashing down. seemed wrong but all the rules just don't hold. any new world yet to shape out these days become educated and in games from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back we turn now to developments in ukraine where after 6 years of simmering and sometimes violent conflict in the east another cease fire has come into effect this monday but ukraine are to claim to the truce has been broken and

that its soldiers have been shot at by forces from the self-proclaimed people's republic cross-line down to argue 3 of the notion of this is supposed to be a comprehensive cease fire after many failed attempts bring us up to speed. well yes hi the monday cease fire prohibits the use of any weapon any kind of firing is banned and the use of any flying device is not allowed either and there is also a ban on further movements reconnaissance activity and the placement of heavy weapons near populated areas but it's not about how good or bad the agreement is as you understand but how ready this size are to implement it just like earlier on monday the kremlin stress that although russia fully supports the peace efforts in the region it cannot serve as a guarantor of the agreements implementations while only the fighting sides can and what about them they seem to be ready to do their best and they hope it'll work this time will this be enough we have to wait and see but self-proclaimed deniece

peoples republic already call this a breakthrough agreement and key is also very optimistic in his phone conversation on sunday with russia's president vladimir putin the ukrainian leader who has images against key said he told to lead supports the full and comprehensive cease fire in that region of ukraine and the always see that has long played a role of a mediator in the ukrainian crisis shares this optimism. this agreement is an important step toward a full sustainable and comprehensive cease fire on a much anticipated real suspicion of fire would surely ease the hardship of the civilian population in the conflict where the ceasefire came into force on monday they were at least 20 other agreements and all of them were violated as you know this is what self proclaimed the next people's republic says about the most recent one a grade year ago. during the year about 4000 ceasefire violations

by the arm formations of ukraine recorded more than a 3rd of violations with the use of artillery mortars. we already heard about the violations these time too unfortunately just days before this ceasefire came into force on monday and even after that these violations are not dramatic there are happily no casualties on the sides are quite calm so at this point the only informed about these violations but they do not react to them although the cease fire keeps their right for self defense if it's needed but all the. well you have to understand that any she's far is not easy the conflict started 6 years ago remember the beginning back in 2014 i was there covering this conflict and it's so clear that it took so many lives just too many lives from both sides and it brought dramatic device station and what is even more important there is a deep deep lack of trust between the fight and size but what we understand and

what we feel right now there is reason and the reason the will to make this ceasefire the last and final one. artie's maria for national bringing us the latest on that thank you. u.s. flags been lowered and diplomats have left the now former american consulate in the chinese city of chengdu beijing told stop to pack up and in tit for tat response to washington's decision to close china's diplomatic office in houston once it was clear chinese authorities moved in to remove traces of the building's former hosts u.s. china relations may be at their lowest in decades but hollywood not running to turn its back on its 2nd biggest movie market the industry's been an effective soft power tool for decades but studios are adapting to local sensitivity it's been a hawkins looks at how they're boxing clever in the edit suite so their movies make the cuts are chinese audiences it's the u.s.

and china have entered a cold war style standoff corp on multiple fronts is an old time low and one could assume the movie business is no exception after all why should hollywood pander to beijing kollywood now regularly censors its own movies to appease the chinese communist party the world's most powerful violator of human rights even the u.s. state secretary perry was scathing in a recent speech in hollywood not too far from here the epic center of american creative freedom and self-appointed arbiters of social justice. self-censorship even the most mildly unfavorable reference to china so is it really worth it it turns out it is last year china contributed $9200000000.00 to the global box office that's almost a quarter of global movie ticket sales while hollywood may have limited access to the chinese market viewing figures from asia can often make or break a movie the bank. of the world.

awful university. but to get its hands on a slice of the money hollywood needs to tread carefully china is a tough client despite having the 2nd largest film market in the world beijing is protective allowing only around $40.00 foreign movies per year so hollywood has to compromise to fill all the slots but we all know that he who pays the piper calls the tune the us lets china call the shots when it comes to the fine detail in movies this could be patrolling the chinese as the good guys think 2012 or gravity to make our way to the space station. but there. he

said the government is building the ships. that are attempting. to. reach out you see there is grass cutting out offensive taiwanese flags from the top of the sequel or making sure key characters aren't of tibetan origin beijing could simply cancel the release of a movie deemed offensive that once upon a time in hollywood was scrapped apparently because of the portrayal of bruce lee we get into a fight i accidently killed. i go to the upcoming movie has had a kissing scene cut to avoid a similar fate some even speculate that actors who displease beijing disappeared from the really big screen apparently richard gere got too friendly with the dalai lama too involved in supporting tibet no more movies with him in china perhaps you could be replaced with a chinese counterpart after all more chinese actors are being hired to satisfy the growing demand. for years before so will. the lucian.

was jimmy soldiers. time soon coming to certify jobs. we're going to make them out of every single one of the trumpet ministration has been moving away from the current order with their stand up to china slogan but there's a little turn of how can there be when even global giants like apple have to play by china's rules of market access so it's unlikely hollywood will change any time soon when it comes to choosing between politics and profit the film industry will pick the latter every time after all show business is just that a business. that's a roundup of the day's top news for now as always thanks for tuning in.

the world is driven by a dream 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 or business i'm show business i'll see if.
