views of use. of the headlines this morning demonstrators in the u.s. city commotion defy a state of emergency curfew to continue sometimes extremely violent protests after offices there allegedly paralyze a black 4 man by shooting him in the back. facebook shuts down the toy protest group over its criticisms of the royal family they're coming up to them we look at how the social media giants acted very differently in similar cases elsewhere though seemingly in lockstep with u.s. foreign policy. both the democratic and republican conventions pass it increasingly with democrats refusing to back their party platform of the

g.o.p. dodging an official platform altogether. britain's prime minister's swing is a public broadcaster the b.b.c. for ditching lyrics to 2 colonial era songs we put that issue up for debate. good morning wednesday 26 of august live from marty's world news q here in moscow my name's kevin oh and i've got the latest half hour round up for you open stick around to take you through the details the so 1st hundreds of protesters in the u.s. city of commotion defying a state of emergency curfew designed to cool days of unrest rallies erupted after police shot a black man multiple times. what
2:02 am
. the. tensions are so high and so you know so many troops. going head to head. and i teach the march to the city and then as the sun went down people started to line up along the barricades the front of the. courthouse people began to push on the barrier that we set up leaping out of the courthouse gradually. people throwing water bottles and heavy objects as he really needs. to be a cold and began to corral everyone so your gas. concussion grenades rubber
2:03 am
bullets tear gas range being thrown from the roof of the courthouse and then show everyone that pushed out of the court in front of the courthouse away from the park down the street and there were basically like a slow moving that obviously that's true simply. because change between. i really protesters and other protesters i saw one guy on the ground to the top of the. thrown into a police sergeant vehicle. that's attempted for that but. i can confirm at least one person shot and i. now warning this you may find this video just shows police shooting jacob like from behind his family say the 29 year old is now paralyzed from the waist civilities watching the whole exterior of interior told us the color of protest hardly surprising. the only people to be surprised other people to believe that there's not issues of institutional racism in this country i mean i remember back originally when black lives matter 1st started were trayvon martin
2:04 am
and then you know you had mike brown or garner and you had case after case of the shootings of young black men and women across the country were officers were never really held accountable for that and you had protests throughout these kind of false you know dog and pony show style fixes of the institutional racism without really addressing it without really. taking it to task and really changing the culture in that major in this country but that allows these things to happen so no it. doesn't surprise me that we're seeing once again george floyd now this man in wisconsin it's a pattern that's not going to change until there is real actual honest change in this country and that doesn't come from just you know politicians getting on t.v. and promising reforms would never happen another element to this is also anger at why the commotion or offices still have no body congress which would of course has shed more light on what exactly happened despite city authorities approving body
2:05 am
comes back and 2070 supplies have been delayed it seems for at least another 2 years from now when he comes rules in wisconsin and worryingly inconsistent as well while no sure offices don't have all of them in other parts of the state they not only wear them but must keep the footage for months in case an investigation is launched in small notes of medical costs have been incredibly useful in the jacob blake case. it is institutional failure and by the way it is not true that there are not clear regulations in fact the governor of wisconsin has set out very clear guidelines for how body cameras are to be used how long footage from those body cameras is to be kept in public record when that's all been laid out so that the problem is when you have a situation like what we exactly what we had in this community just the other night this is why body cameras are so badly needed over and over we see it because an officer tells one story the person who is in confrontation with police tells
2:06 am
a different story witnesses tell a different story and then you have the story of those who manage it in some cases certainly not in all but in some cases get to use their cell phones to capture any . version of what happened right because the camera video that we see from a distance is not the whole story it's a snippet the moment of it but body cameras are supposed to protect the officer and the person who's being confronted but there's been such a push to not use body cameras to run away from that technology that it be. hum's disingenuous when there is a situation like this and now the mayor says oh it's a budget issue it's not a budget issue it's a lack of the will issue. human rights advocates a furious that social media giant facebook is blocking access to a 1000000 strong protest group in thailand over the group's criticisms of the country's king of thailand as witnessing massive pro-democracy rallies of the moment with some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook says it would rather
2:07 am
not shut down the group but is being pressured by thai authorities the social media behave more is filing a legal challenge than against officials however worth bearing in mind in other countries facebook has no qualms whatsoever about challenging authority the senior correspondent or ghost of examines this morning what may be behind this apparent set of double standards. this is an entirely new paradigm we're witnessing the birth of a new type of censorship customized tailored censorship what you say no longer matters it no longer matters where you're from what matters is who you say it against. thailand has a very specific law it's called the less majestic and what it does is criminalize any negative speech towards the king all the queen or the air or the 2nd there and so on so the rule family cannot be criticised by anyone if you dare criticize the
2:08 am
queen's dress for example or the king's haircut you face 15 years in jail 15 years this now apparently includes international criticism so on facebook for example which just banned uprooted more crecy group of $1000000.00 people for hurting the king's feelings after careful review facebook has determined that we are compelled to restrict access to content which the thai government has deemed to be lead. 23rd century you can't criticize a person because his father gave him a shiny crown and told him he was special having said that there are many many people in thailand who almost worship the rule family which is their right among their fans too in fact is the u.s. secretary of state you know this is a long shares relationship church a set of 200 years and i know we will remain great and good friends for the next 2

centuries as well we could report mr pompei stark raving duplicity and hypocrisy after all miss the pump arrows happy to cozy up to the saudi king for example it isn't dictators who regimes that mr pompei will facebook have a problem with it's where those autocrats are from. remember the united states government shouting itself all serve what was happening in hong kong freedom justice liberty they shouted over and over again their facebook promoted proved democracy groups and cracked down bad procida groups a slew of them we causally working to detect and stop this type of activity because we don't want our services to be used to manipulate people the united states and other free nations will continue to protect our peoples from the long arm of
2:10 am
beijing's authoritarianism i mentioned earlier customized censorship this is the result censorship tailored to a time and a place no one rule for all so you can fight for freedom so long as you're fighting for freedom from someone that the united states doesn't like if you're fighting for freedom from a fellow who's prepared to ruin your and your family's life because you wrote it mean comment about him well you can't do that. see he is pompe alles pow. and here we are europe's last dictator they call him lucian co same story really a part of the population loves him a part of the population hates him and pump ale has a picture of them hugging each other really does have a collection that while they're still trying to decide by the way washington facebook is this an autocrat who is good for america and should they threw the
2:11 am
democracy groups under the bus and label them haters. who is at a disadvantage though his daddy see he didn't give them a crowd and say that it protects against rowdy peasants. now stay with us foreign policy next this morning the democratic party is promising a probe into comments by america's top diplomat mike pompei or he appeared by video link at the republican national convention rooting for trump while abroad in his fish official capacity as secretary of state this president has led bold initiatives in nearly every corner of the world today because of the president's determination and leadership that isis caliphate is wiped out it's gone in just 2 weeks ago the president brokered a historic peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates this is the deal that our grandchildren will read about in their history books president trump has put his america 1st vision into action may not have made him popular in every

foreign capital but it's worked. but in doing the very thing he's done there palm posts apparently broken the very rules he set for state department employees around the bands officials from endorsing a domestic political candidate in particular speaking for or against a political candidate at a convention rally or similar gathering but political analysts to listen to bruno told us pompei are hard to bag because the stakes are simply just too high. compare is violating. an act called the hatch act which prevents officials of an administration to speak in favor of that administration compared himself i believe wrote a letter. to his 2 diplomatic staff about a month ago saying they should refrain from political activity of this kind this is not a diplomatic move but what about what is diplomatic about the trumpet
2:13 am
ministration they risk by a late in the heart act because the potential benefits in voting terms are greater . with less than 3 months ago till the us election increasingly blatant cracks are appearing in post republican and democratic party platforms from caleb maupin. the conventions marked the final stage of the us presidential elections they've marked the moment when the 2 major parties come together they rally their forces select their candidates and then go all in for a big win in november the conventions are expected to be a moment of unity however divisions are pretty clearly there beneath the surface for example 25 percent of the democratic party's delegates voted against the plan for governance known as the sanders biden unity platform we need a platform that works to read our society for pressure and greed unfortunately in
2:14 am
my view these platforms doesn't do enough republicans decided to not even have a platform and just focus their convention on renominating donald trump and interestingly the list of republicans who are supporting joe biden is growing now many big name conservatives as well as former elected officials are on the list i'm a lifelong republican in normal times something like this would probably never happen but these are not normal times and these are certainly not normal times a pandemic is sweeping the country with many parts of the nation still on lockdown protests against racism are on the rise and poverty is increasing donald trump is now hoping to win over voters with you show you are yes you want to really dress them crazy you say 12 more years. a man who cares a man who loves america and all americans a man who is tired she used to get. even tonight during this nomination the
2:15 am
president's wrong means you need a leader who will rebuild the promise of america and ensure that every citizen can realize there are american dream democrats are not really offering much of an alternative just a list of some rather vague promises albeit our of the light not the darkness the end of this chapter of american darkness began here tonight. as love and hope and light joined in the battle for the soul of the nation neither candidate is really offering any solutions for how to get the country out of the big economic social and health care crisis meanwhile national unity is not very high on the list either many are speculating that donald trump won't accept the results if he loses and we clinton has just advised joe biden not to concede to donald trump under any circumstances joe biden should not concede under any circumstances eventually i do
2:16 am
believe he will win if we don't gather in right after the elections it looks like we'll be back to square one the big problems underlying these divisions and on rest are not going to be elected away it will mop and artsy new york it will play over the coming months now will become about the break will this news no i want to hear the 1st confirmed case of a person diagnosed with corona virus for the 2nd time registered in hong kong as one of the stories we've got for you will tell you all about it after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race on the very dramatic developments only mostly
2:17 am
and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. if you go to simply leave in the orchestras warming up any musician is is tuning his or her instrument so you hear this. sounds or noise put it but it's it's a constant me it's disorganized and then the band the orchestra plays and you get music so what the brain does and what the maker tubules do is organize or orchestrate one collapse this.
2:18 am
morning about 20 minutes past the. next britain's prime minister has launched an extremely rare but stinging assault on the b.b.c. boris johnson stormed he cannot believe the public broadcaster will drop the lyrics to 2 top colonial era choose that's land of hope and glory and rule britannia from its flagship annual come sit 18th century song rule britannia has been panned for its slavery links while blind to hope and glory penned back in 100001 plugs the british empire but johnson insists the nothing to be ashamed of i think it's time we stopped cringing embarrassment about history about author additions and about our culture and we stop these. by recrimination and witness i wanted to get that off my chest. and so we did well the b.b.c. point said the lyrics will return next year once they can feature singers in
2:19 am
a covert free environment but our debate guests show the concert itself actually divides opinion lyrics or not. prince of multicultural country has anthems written in the. early 18th century prefix of britain's imperial past so well and good maybe this reclaiming museums where rightly belong but i think on the national broadcast we don't want to hear that sort of stuff and certainly somebody my background if you are black or asian or from one of the commonwealth countries then the implication that brits will never be slaves doesn't hold quite true for you and neither you or the cendant sniping should go almost everybody in the country likes that and they enjoyed this up in the one night a year of the last night of the problems facing going on since $8095.00 so that's when the problem started so it's a carnival culture it's a part of our heritage and they should state review it's not the place of people
2:20 am
who have just started working for the b.b.c. to decide that they can stop us singing britain's a multicultural country is not a country. a land of hope and glory and how can we pay be patriotic to a country that formally because black pretty citizens as we saw it when ross county we want to have a real debate about the nature of citizenship among them compared to helping to try and suggest that this country treats everybody with equality before the laureus complete hogwash in fact we're an unequal society and a deeply racialized society hasn't been proven by research time and time again singing songs about touching and then we need to find a new tune and you would signal with them that reflect the modern realities of britain in the 21st century in this country in the united kingdom there is nothing going on it's the same as the east you know it's a kingdom it's one of the best places in the world the black and brown people to
2:21 am
live it's not a racist country this now there is systemic racism simply isn't true look like i got on well i'm a london assembly member you. we've got i an indian home secretary you've got in india the chancellor of the exchequer yeah no i do that you know it's not all white people to say to black people this is a wonderful country no racism doesn't exist it's a black people to white people this is what we think a new well meaning member response of black people when they surveyed by story and others in the post black life much movement is a pretty nice remains a racist country so much like the sort of romantic. drivel that we just said relation to this being some sort of wonderful meritocracy of anti-racism when the b.b.c. got to reflect a changing culture of the times and we see programs removed from the b.b.c. like love thy neighbor and god knows what else and there will be more of that to
2:22 am
come up salute he sure and this is just another element of that that was something completely different i wouldn't agree with that but we're not talking about that we're talking about last night in the front so shouldn't yeah look what i did for the b.b.c. once diversity find it can have diversity but you've got to have tradition in that you've got a city by british culture not every other culture of our own and that's what's so wrong about this. ok what we're talking about going into the break there news this morning that a person has been ruined fact did with coping for the 1st ever time where the case confirmed in hong kong. the genome sequence of the virus strain in the 1st episode of covert 19 infection is clearly different from the genome sequence of the virus strain found during the 2nd episode of infection so the infected patient is a 33 year old man he 1st contracted covert in march it seems his coffin fever cleared and he was discharged then from hospital after testing negative however
2:23 am
this month he returned on kong from spain via the u.k. he tested positive on arrival there this time with no symptoms microbiologists some and clark britain's reading university says you can be reinfected with different versions of the same virus. it's actually quite significant because we've had reports previous the a few months ago of people seemingly being reinserted with a virus we couldn't really be sure whether in fact me just got some virus hanging around from the initial infection and their need system have cleared it properly what we now know from this study is that this person go really infected with a different version of the same virus so although you and i are both human beings and we deal with acid much the same way we're different and it's the same with these 2 versions of the virus they will still cause disease we're still doing the same way but because we can identify differences between we can exclude the
2:24 am
possibility that is just some virus from the 1st infection that's hanging around when this all started there were lots of people going around saying once you have it you can't get it the 2nd time and they said that without having any real proof for that having any proof at all or any real reason to think that course in psychosis is not unreasonable but it was based on 0 evidence so it's important that we understand that it is possible even if it turns out and it will it we we're only know over the coming months it's even if it turns out that it's a very rare occurrence. last time a pandemic next has been a sharp rise in the number of covert 1000 cases in lebanon after this month's arrest a chemical blast in the capital beirut there with hospitals overwhelmed maybe no surprise to hear that thousands of coronavirus victims are not getting proper treatment.
2:25 am
america. started after the looking down was eased because of the financial crisis that we were going through. and then the explosion happened and a lot of people doing you know after the explosion were not really observing all the safety measures wearing masks and social distancing so that resulted in even a bigger search. already before the explosion we went on and on those stores and with the explosion
