at learning this morning demonstrators in the u.s. city can no ship is state of emergency curfew to continue sometimes extremely violent protests after offices there allegedly paralyze a black man by shooting him in the back while over in the u.k. the black movement's also reappears in the headlines as the b.b.c. temporarily ditches lyrics to colonial era songs those. seats for code related reasons put the whole story up for the. troops. should stay maybe they should be pleading with iraq even though the natural gas we don't want to hear that sort of stuff. facebook shuts down a toy

a protest group over its criticisms of the royal family then we look at how the social media giant has acted very differently though in similar cases elsewhere similarly in lockstep with us foreign policy. on both the democratic and republican conventions pass an increasing disarray with democrats refusing to back their party platform and the g.o.p. not even presenting an official platform at all. when wednesday morning the 26th of august here live from artie's will be moscow it's kevin i am with you for the next hour thanks for chatting to us and i hope you'll stay with me as to take you through all the stories this morning hundreds of protesters in the u.s. city of commotion defying a state of emergency care few designed to try to cool days of unrest the rallies

are up today after police shot a black man multiple times reportedly suggesting one person is now also been killed and 2 others injured in those overnight clashes. think. the tensions are so high and so bubbling and there's so many different splinter groups. going head to head there well. tonight people marched through the city and then as the sun went down people started to line up along the back in front of the

security people courthouse people began to push on the barrier that police said are simply taking out a bit more about it gradually talking to people throwing water bottles and heavy objects as he only used their arm and being told that he and corral everyone so your gas be thrown concussion grenades rubber bullets tear gas and being thrown from the group of the court house eventually everyone was pushed out of the court or in front of the court house away from the park down the street and there were basically like a slow moving down between protesters and police there while i go shopping changed between i really protesters and other protesters i thought one guy on that route to stop ok and he would run into a police armored vehicle on protesters but i but i can confirm at least one person shot and i know next this a warning you may find the video disturbing it shows police shooting jacob blake from behind his family say the 29 year olds now paralyzed from the waist down and

most of all if he's watching the whole show 2 of the insurer says the current protests the hardly surprising. and the only people would be surprised at the people who believe the issues of institutional racism in this country i mean i remember back originally when black lives matter 1st started were trayvon martin and then you know you had mike brown or gardner and you had case after case of these shootings of young black men and women across the country were officers were never really held accountable for that and you had protests and grab these kind of false you know. dog and pony show styled fixes of the institutional racism without really addressing it without really you know 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 politicians getting on t.v. and promising reforms would never happen is also angry at what i can oh sure offices still have no body cameras which it would of course of shed more light of what exactly happened despite city authorities approving. 27 supplies have been delayed for at least another 2 years from now but he can rule as in wisconsin where an inconsistent 2 offices don't have all of them in other parts of the state they not only wear them but must keep the footage on them for months just in case an investigation is needed. and small notes that could have been a close incredibly useful in the jacob blake case. it is institutional failure and by the way that 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 of the person who it is in confrontation with police tells a different story witnesses tell a different story and then you have the story of those who manage it in some cases certainly not at all but in some cases get to use their cell phones to capture any . version of what happened right because the the still 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 becomes 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 will issue. in the u.k. the b.b.c.

has unintentionally opened up with the bait about traditions and britain's colonial past in the wake of the black lives matter movement itself the public group comes to confirm its removing lyrics to 2 putting songs at its flagship comes at the problems 1st off 18th century song rule britannia as been penned penned for slavery links well land of hope and glory penned in $1001.00 plugs the british empire british prime minister boris johnson insists the country shouldn't be ashamed of its history though. i think it's time we stopped. embarrassment about our history about author additions and about our culture and we stop these. bite recrimination and witness i want to get that off my chest the b.b.c. points out the lyrics will return next year once they can feature singers in a covert free environment but our debate guests showed the concert itself 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 they 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 sentence no i think 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 it's been 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 really it's not the place of people who have just started working for the b.b.c. to state 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 her 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 this you know it's a kingdom it's one of the best places in the world the black and brown people to 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 an indian 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 for black people white people actually this is what we think a new well meaning member response of black people when they surveyed by ipsos mori and others in the post black life muscle movement is a pretty nice remains a racist country so much like the sort of romantic. drivel that we just 30 relation to this being some sort of wonderful meritocracy of anti racism in the b.b.c. culture reflected 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 come up salute he sure and this is just another element of that that was something completely different i wouldn't agree with that we're not talking about but we're talking about last night of the constitution and yet what if the b.b.c.

wants diversity you find that you have diversity but you've got to have tradition in that you've got a silly by british culture not every other culture. and that's what's so wrong about this. human rights advocates the fear is 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 tired right now as witnessing mass pro-democracy rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy there facebook says it would rather not shut down the group that is being pressured by tire thora tease the social media behemoths is filing a legal challenge against officials then however bear in mind in other countries facebook has no qualms it seems whatsoever about challenging authority 30 senior correspondent greg as dave examines what may be behind the apparent double standards. this is an entirely new paradigm where we want. the

birth of a new type of censorship customised tailored censorship what you say no longer masses 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 beg criticize the 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 i'm think book 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 illegal 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 of stark raving duplicity and hypocrisy after all mr pump arrows happy to cozy up to the saudi king for example it is of 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 or server what was happening in hong kong freedom justice liberty they shouted over and over again their facebook promoted through democracy groups and crackdown banned the proof china 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 beijing's authoritarianism i mentioned earlier customized censorship this is the result censorship tailored to a time and the place new 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 othello who's prepared to ruin your and your

family's life because you wrote a mean comment about him well you can't do that see he is pump alles pow. and here we are europe's last dictator they call him lucian ko 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 not one they're still trying to decide by the way washington facebook is this an autocrat who is good for america and should be through the prove 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. meantime it seems my point pay also faces flak at home the democratic party is pledging a probe into his appearance by video link at the republican national convention

rooting for trump while abroad in his 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 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 however in doing that making that appearance pompous apparently broken the very rules he set for state department employees and memorandum bans officials from endorsing a candidate at a convention rally or similar gathering all that said though political analyst alessandro bruno told us pump had to be because the stakes are simply just too high . is violating. american called the hatch act which

prevents officials of an administration to speak in favor of that administration on bail himself i believe wrote a letter. to his 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 ministration they risk by elating the hatch act because the potential benefits in voting terms are greater. now which is less than 3 months to go to the us election increasingly blatant cracks are appearing in both the republican and democratic party platforms covering up the smalling caleb maupin. the conventions mark the final stage of the u.s. presidential election so they mark 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 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 drive them crazy you say 12 more years. a man who cares a man who loves america and all americans a man who looks tired. even tonight during this nomination for president strong be the 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 i'll be had hour 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 believe he will win if we don't get it right after the elections it looks like we'll be back to square one the big problems underlying these divisions and on rast are not going to be elected away it will mop and artsy new york 20 percent of the morning here in moscow so plenty more to come the news no one wanted to hear though the 1st confirmed case of a person diagnosed with corona virus so yes the 2nd todd has been registered in

hong kong. 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 often very dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. if you go to the symphony orchestra's warming up any musician as is tuning his or her instrument so you hear this year all these sounds are noise but it but it's gets a constant a it's disorder. and band of the the band the orchestra plays in your good music so

what the brain does and what the maker juveniles do is organize or orchestrate these one collapses. well again this is our team is new in phoenix the u.s. is being dealt a rare diplomatic blow at the u.n. security council its closest allies the u.k. france and germany of opposed washington's push to reinstate international sanctions on iran here's how the security council president summarized the outcome of the video link session experience for me that there is one man where it's at our station on the issues well there are significant numbers of members who have. in my view that is not one sense and i'm still that's the president it's not in the

partition. washington demanded reinstatement of all 2015 u.n. sanctions on tehran but security council colleagues refused to end the day stating the white house had no right to initiate procedures in a deal it withdrew from 2080 u.s. envoy then to the u.n. didn't hold back linking her fellow diplomats to terrorists that trump administration has no fear in standing in limited company on this matter and light at the unmistakable truth our actions. only regret the other members of this council have lost their way and now find themselves standing in the company of terrorists. former pentagon security analyst michael maloof told us the pushback by u.s. allies sends a clear message to them. i think iran is boid by the fact that the

un security council almost unanimously shot down a u.s. proposal to continue with the embargo on arms so they feel and i think that this is a signal this was a signal by the allies of the members of the security council to say let's keep that agreement going and i. don't know of a way follow suit as a consequence and not do anything to disrupt that channel. for the news that a person has been reinfected with covert for the 1st time ever with their case confirmed now 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 3 infected patient is a 33 year old man seems he 1st contracted code in march his cough and fever cleared and he was discharged from hospital after testing negative however this month he

returned to hong kong from spain via the u.k. he tested positive on arrival though this time with no symptoms but the world health organization says such recurrences will be extremely rare will scott thorson microbiologist simon clark of britain's reading university says you can indeed be reinfected with different versions of the same virus. it's actually quite significant because we've had reports previous to the a few months ago of people seemingly being reinserted with a virus we couldn't really be sure whether in fact maybe just got some virus hanging around from the initial infection and their need system have played it properly what we now know from this study is that service person go reinfected with a different version of the same virus so all where you and i are both human beings and we do it actually much the same way with

a difference 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 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 will that have any proof at all or any reason to think that it's a course in psychosis this is not a reasonable one 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 be very narrow over the coming months it's even if it turns out that it's a very rare occurrence it's a worry though ned well times when a sharp rise in the number 1000 cases in lebanon may be no surprise there after this month's arifin chemical blast in the capital beirut course with hospitals overwhelmed thousands of coronavirus 'd natives are not getting proper treatment

that they need. started after the top down was eased because of the financial crisis that we were. bomb school. and then the explosion happened and a lot of people doing you know after the explosion would not believe the absurd things all the safety measures wearing mosques safe social distancing so that resulted in even the biggest search.

for the explosion we went on and on those stores and with the explosion we used all of the house to 35000 plus testes that came to the emergency on sunday morning hospitals so this is a time to moment is what is keeping us going and eligibility to keep patients. what he especially there will stay safe and well all of us best we can i that's the way things look in so far as well more from our teach exit are web of social media teams for now the reporting from r.t. h.q. this wednesday morning kevin i would hear of a great day. long .

join me every focused on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports this list i'm show business i'll see you then.

you know we look at the solutions we love take a deep dive into the issues they've been chatting about all year now today we're going to be talking with the more also known as n l w the breakdown of cast fans following him on twitter for a long time listen to his tribe cast you know the great thing about this whole new universe of media stacy is that people who might not get on media get on and then they rise to the top and suddenly they're like wow these people are awesome and i would put an essay neal in that 10.
