that's simply not true the mother of a 12 year old boy arrested at night gunpoint because he how detroit has still accuses loves and police all for racial profiling i'm sure that's why the show i was angry with whoa whoa whoa that's the way they're feeling that it was this week the naacp in boulder was just you know and. 'd he sought solace in the discredited rush occlusion report from 2016 is a mosque one of the barges that his outfit and boils down to bar room of compensation. taking a look back at the stories that grabbed headlines over the past 7 days this is the week to be here at all to me thanks for joining us. well let's head straight to the u.s. because with donald trump stomps on how to. well on rest remaining consistent the

president's now agreed to pull federal troops from violence hit portland wealth artie's that pleaded they had to deescalate actions after a crackdown on black lives to protest which have a times erupted into riots city officials say the trump team had gone too far 6.

i was. well this all comes on the back of a house judiciary committee hearing at the beginning of the week which inlaid bad the political divisions of the protest and how differently that viewed by one rioters an anarchist that hijacked legitimate protests to wreak senseless headache and destruction on innocent victims we've seen mothers and we've seen veterans who are peacefully protesting not threatening the federal courthouse beaten in games people are suing not because the troops are there shame on you mr barr can i just say i'm assuming you can i just in time is expired a correspondent on a quarter has been looking at how the walls police one way is now struggling to keep the peace on its own streets. politics a catalyst for social unrest on both sides of the barricades especially in portland protesters have armed themselves and attacked federal agents in turn trump's

administration has deployed heavily armed soldiers to put a lid on the situation now the city's mayor is calling for a truce. commission to joe and they're calling for an immediate meeting with department of homeland security leadership on the ground in portland and with the acting secretary of the department she had the balls to discuss a cease fire and removal of heightened federal forces from portland a ceasefire with its own citizens is the u.s. crossing over the line from social unrest to something more serious judge for yourself. some are calling this trumps electoral battlefield and he is calling in reinforcements perhaps to maintain his persona as

a law and order president as the violence continues to snowball. today i'm announcing a surge of federal law enforcement in 2 american communities plagued by violent crime who will work every single day to restore public safety protect our nation's children and bring violent perpetrators to justice but seattle's liberal mayor is blaming trump for the mayhem and in fact i think the president's actions have directly escalated and worst responsible for what happened this weekend was just talking to a number of mayors throughout the country who saw a similar thing that people wanting to act out against the president and his administration coming to the streets and other mayors from across america are also calling out trump to congress this is ministrations egregious use of federal fools and city of the jacksons who forward to this should never happen. who knows if democrats and republicans will ever see eye to eye on what's happening if you listen to what both sides are saying about the unrest it's like they're talking

about 2 different events violent rioters and anarchists have hijacked legitimate protests to wreak senseless havoc in destruction on innocent victims digital age is dressed in military fatigues and toting military gear have teargassed peaceful protest is made unlawful arrest without probable cause and otherwise used violence in an effort to stamp out peaceful and constitutionally protected protests washington is quick to flag social unrest in other countries and the so-called anti-democratic crackdowns that follow when the same thing happens on u.s. soil well americans get their democracy. daughters a bit father who died in june from covert has to campaign for change in america's health system she calls out politicians for a lack of need to ship accusing them of jeopardizing lives especially among people of color who are statistically more likely to die from the virus now she's

collecting the stories of similarly affected families to push for change and reduce deaths. i got work woke up june 11th with a cough and a few ver and just wasn't feeling well he had really bad exhaustion on like you'd ever had before and my mom called me to tell me what was going on and i told her mom i sounds like he has coronavirus at least the symptoms are so we worked to get him scheduled for a test the next day which he got that test but we never got those test results back because he had to be taken to the hospital because his condition got worse before his test results were back and then when he was admitted into the hospital when we officially learned that he was tested positive for coronavirus luckily when he 1st got to the hospital though you know he was responding well to the treatment oxygen and he had

a couple of convalescent plasma treatments from. early on and was on antibiotics you know he was in a normal room for about 10 days before he suddenly took a turn for the worse and had to be taken to the i.c.u. and put on a ventilator and shortly there after he passed away the doctors were. you know completely shocked that he had just to to reread it so quickly you know it was a shock obviously to me as well especially given my dad's attitude and not just a few days before he had been saying you know i'm excited to come home on monday and that would have been 29 june and he actually ended up passing away on june 30th while we were talking to christa in the united states recorded one $1462.00 new deaths on that day that is the highest daily increased since may and total credit virus has claimed more than $157000.00 american lives that means there are roughly

every single minute one person dies from covert 19 in the u.s. as for the state of arizona where kristen and her late father a from one on thursday it recorded 172 new coronavirus deaths and that's a single day recalled by the state governor though is convinced everything is heading in the right direction on that emergency rooms are seeing a downward trend in patients with covert symptoms but for chris to focus on the statistics is part of the problem. the trumpet ministration has been downplaying the severity of the price crisis since day one they haven't been doing their jobs who have a quarter needed response to minimize risk while still preserving the economy they've been driving home this false narrative that you have to pick one or the other and that's simply not true it's you know morally you know not correct at all. just you know forget that there are real people behind the

numbers no i was thinking about this yesterday as i was reflecting upon the numbers and today marks the one month anniversary of my father's passing in king about there's 149999 other people families out there that are feeling what i feel and we are currently in a situation where countless others are about to feel the way that i feel. a month to month is accusing police that are racially profiling her family off to her 12 year old son was taken from the house during the night and handcuffed by offices because his toy pistol was suspected of being the real thing i mean a home talked to us through what happened. that midnight oh not for a day just crossed over into early i was in the morning and we've been absolutely

in the living room and. when the door followed him and we just missed it with you know about 4 or 5 offices holding why forms and they had is red beams you know sort of on our bodies are like heads. that are something of a movie. you know which. all of us did to her daughters use it when the color of the sleeve was in front of may we were just. explained to firearms or any illegal in the house my son. was on here. you have no shoes on and they just arrested him immediately. while officers descended on the family's home with sniffer dogs and found 12 year old car and his pellet toy god and the raid occurred after a possible by police saying a black male holding

a firearm on the sofa was seen through the living room window because mother says the metropolitan police racially profiled a family which she states has never been in trouble with the law now london police chief say there has been no misconduct or not the boy was let go when it was clear the toy gun was not a real firearm that said the case has still been referred to the independent office for police conduct mother described the effect this is all had on her family. sure but it's just the least i was angry as well one of the consequent away than that feeling of you know why have you done this 'd we've done nothing wrong in our own home 'd qualified to even making 'd in a roundabout way they just said before the well fire was supports take them seriously we have to follow that march which i believe agreement where we just disagree on how they voted but mainly they would say you know this is the

government you can relate crime in the area the fact that clive was a male it was the mention of him being a black male obviously you know liverpool all of these things you know they take very seriously. the chief the superintendent and he started talking about operation trident he started talking about you know gang related crime and making those associations and he read me out of school that was made by the possible and there was very little evidence there were to all but that was the fact it was a black man. from casinos to hotels to office brock's the name trump is plastered on many a prime a trust spot and it's radio satellite named off to the us president not a thank you for his backing in a territorial dispute is looking much less resplendent artie's policy there went along to see it all for herself. what is president trump left more than seeing his

name in golden letters on a big sign while praising recognition one would say and here in northern israel he's got both trump heights in the middle of nowhere a thank you from benjamin netanyahu to his american body for doing what most of the international community would not recognize this is the golan heights as part of israel you have been an incredible friend for israel and you've done extraordinary things for the jewish state which we are eternally grateful to much bad for in celebrations you might imagine an idyllic place the 1st thing you see is the settlement gate which doesn't close completely and there's a gap here through which i can just go into the jar it gets into it and then you find that no boulevard or fancy entrance leading into the village instead of hot overgrown with weeds and piles of stone a far cry from what you'd expect the entrance into trump heights would look like when you think of a place not even a 2nd chance you see this this building used to be the common law say to the

regional village for him and now 80 although he's been a fantasy name change a new settlement has filter tracked many residents today less than a dozen lives here and right now no one seems to be whom. i know. is the only one poem hello. it's all captured this territory from syria during the 19676 day war and later and next to the 1981 now most of the international community considers that annexation illegal and does not consider the golan heights as part of israel locals don't take it seriously either in the flesh i think it's not a good location it's very hard it's a neglected area and i simply don't know why people go to live there for us it's a job still going to this is going to want to see because we think it's all roads are going to get. sued. there's a very good work to do which is this is an american issue that we're. going to.

face really government says plans are underway to eventually house 300 families but in the years since trump prices beeman overrated nothing's been done maybe it doesn't even matter if the un has been bestowed the facts on marginal after all we live in an era of fake news as president trying to get likes to say. r.t. heights northern israel. still to come on the program a new start showing south korea dedicated to the memory of the qur'an calls forced into sex slavery during 2nd world war poses outrage over its perceived resemblance to the japanese prime minister all the details in just 90 seconds.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on off and spearing dramatic developments only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

you can't be both with me yeah you're right. welcome back now i start to enable tunick garden in south korea has reignited a non resolved this wartime dispute with japan it shows a man kneeling in front of a guy who symbolizes a minute treats sex slaves euphemistically called come put 12 men from japan's imperial colonial era nearly a century ago but what's really agitated japan is that the man looks a little like the prime minister shinzo abi himself no stranger to inflaming this dispute japan says if it is based on our it will seriously impact relations with south korea due scoble could do with seeing such a thing is unforgivable in terms of international courtesy if the report. curates

it will have a decisive impact on japan and south korea relations. the biggest issue behind all of this is over reparations for the so-called comfort stations and they were active between 1000 touch 2 and 1905 the end of the 2nd world war women were lured by the offer of walk only to be forced into providing sexual services to japanese imperial army soldiers it's thought that around $200000.00 mostly korean women were enslaved now attempts to resolve this dispute over the years well they've been slow a treaty to try and normalize relations came about in 1965 but it took until 1903 to finally apologize and admit that the women were forced into sex slavery by 2015 a formal apology a deal was agreed with a fund to compensate victims but it didn't go far enough for many in south korea and that deal to almost fell apart while talk to simone turton who is from the

northeastern university in south korea believes that raising awareness about the issue is far more important than political disputes i personally don't have any major. unless the pair want to politicize issues i wonder why there is an. escalating this issue remember there is a. national. crime against humanity that's. really really only. policy or common sense. the whole issue of this is the moment. and raise awareness when there is. a crime against humanity i think that that is the morning. the country.

has. a secret quote subsoil through the notorious private intelligence report which failed to link donald trump to russian clue 2016 has been revealed and it turns out it's a u.s. resident rather than me supposedly russia based source as equals donna also explains a sizable chunk of the entire dossier seemed to rely on charts between drinking buddies. it was a dossier that some prophesies would spell doom for donald trump as president and as a human being with any shred of decency the document penned by still spread like wildfire across the media spilling way beyond the u.s. borders the dossier the dossier that controversial document it alleges overt knowing collusion while unconfirmed accusations but was 1 able. to cool the

file salacious would be an understatement the claim that trump hired prostitutes to pee all over a bed at a luxury moscow hotel simply because the obama's once slipped in was just one of the highlights but trump's enemies believed wanted to believe after all the mysterious incognito informant was said to have infiltrated the in a most of russia's circle well turns out the russians soules was in fact a bar fly in the us former journalist and now analyst igor duncan co apparently admitted that he got his information from people he was hitting the bottle with primary subsurface and source for drink heavily together and source for always looks forward to getting together with source 4 when primary sub sources in town are you one go as far as calling him an alcoholic but it looks like some might

dungeon girl might have boozed so hard that even got him into legal trouble but nobody's perfect the f.b.i. thought a little party never killed nobody the state department agreed delirious drunken drivel you might say but america needs to know he has a fellow with information united states government should have similarly when he developed the information relating to 2016. there's assault on our democracy and interference in our elections he felt it was important that the u.s. government be aware of it and you'd think that the revelation about the source is credibility or rather the lack of it would be the main line in the us media but who am i kidding the new york times for instance confirming these sources identity a whole week after the story broke has been fanning suspicion about artie's website

for publishing the story on time a news website posting news the outrage russian is always the eternal bogeyman in the american media no it's not quite sure why but it's been that way since the cold war and they've refused to let go of it it's the go to jail and so most democrat voters most media people most journalists we really know what's the point of. trying to clear russia non-existing cruiser with russia might be how that might jeopardize national security they just see a scary word like russia and they run with that with the election less than a 100 days away who knows maybe another installment will cool out of the woodwork to feed the intelligence rumor mill. germany is on the way to completely phasing out coal power by the year 2038 power but it's not done with fossil fuels just yet in fact one line is about to expand massively

a lot has left locals they are going for that homes. have it tells it on because it's not is terrorizing as they try to drive us out of our homes using psychological terror and pressure as they try to make life difficult for us by destroying votes and destroying houses. because. my. own case for another go i am very disappointed by the government and politicians they are avoiding responsibility and support more than us i have the feeling that they don't care what happens to us they want the villages to be demolished they are

only interested in the profit that could make it's sad to see that traffic comes before human rights before people ceilings and before the environment it's all about money. yeah those that call me that colleagues it is not really a coal exit if you were allowed to continue to mine coal and also the 630000000 tons beneath all villages then this is not a real exit but a law that ensures that coal mining goes on we as villages would not be asked about the laws we never had a say in it that is why we are against it and will not abide by it we want the coal to stay here in the ground and the house is hand not to be torn down and.
