the water where politicians you. give the go ahead. demonstrators in the us if you can oh shit defy a state of emergency curfew overnight to continue sometimes extremely violent protests are for offices there allegedly paralyze a black man by shooting them in the. comment coming up see what's going on over night while over in the u.k. the black movement also reappears in the headlines as the b.b.c. temporarily scraps lyrics for 2 colonial era songs but our debate guests think the issue goes much wider in fact. we're an unequal society and a deeply ritualized society you know it's just one of the choices in the world good

luck and browbeaten to leverage. freedom of speech takes a bit of blow online as facebook blocks a group from thailand criticizing the king for social media giant increasingly choosing which protest movements deserve support which will be silenced them. both the democratic and republican conventions pass in increasing disarray with democrats refusing to back their party platform and the g.o.p. not even presenting an official platform at all. they just turned 11 am so good morning from russia wednesday the 26th of august live from artie's will do you say it's q. here in moscow and i've got the latest round up for you to stick around to 1st track in this 100. 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 reports suggest one person has now also been killed and 2 others injured in overnight clashes. i. was. told. later go to local journalist mike nichols on the line hey mike thanks you time know some of the warning we were about 3 am isn't there i think what is the atmosphere in the city now what's been happening where in the news that maybe someone's been killed yeah. it's been crazy

right now. i was downtown earlier there and destroying like is everything. breaking wind. now of those. they just put a fence around the courthouse today they were not going there trying to knock over that and soon they were there on why it works although it's it was just really chaotic down there tonight i was down there for the 2 days. i got i guess i guess the other night and bang. how many people dressed of i have been out on the streets there it's difficult to get a special image of the my difficult to gauge is it or not. there's been a lot of damages out here everywhere. how many people are on the streets to think we're talking tens hundreds thousands what's the number. there's

thousands of protesters here. from all from all over the place there they came from cincinnati and medicine everywhere. and how the police been handling it. sorry sir i don't know is exceed the law is broken up a bit how the police been handling it in your view from what you've seen. i haven't really seen them please do much they did stand around the courthouse and really don't do anything i feel like they're just trying to protect. the courthouse and nothing else like stuff was on fire like they didn't really put anything out or no . light and everything burns and we mentioned at the top of this report says someone's killed some people are injured any more a lot and injuries here yeah.

people i had a couple friends i got hit by rubber bullets here. here again their faces were burning. i know some people. and i is the view that the police response has been proportionate to what they're up against what the having to face. i am i married. my guess the middle of the night to say thanks to bring us up to speed the think is they keep it all and it will come back maybe of the coming nights if he doesn't quite get the latest from me for that month nichols local journalist appreciates it. well let's recap how the event folded then a warning you may find this video on the screens next to it shows police shooting jacob blake from behind his family say the 29 year old is now a power lies from the waist down. watching the whole exterior of insurers says the

protests 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 wives 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 about 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 and there's also i get to your office is still have no body count as which would of course have shed more light on what exactly happened despite city authorities approving voting cams back in 27 supplies have been delayed already for at least another 2 years from now so no sign of the yet multi-cam rules and this comes consistent. offices don't have them all. in other parts of the state they not only wear them but must keep the footage for months in case an investigation is needed and small notes that could have been incredibly useful in the j. complaint case. it is institutional failure and by the way there 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 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 in all but in some cases get to use their cell phones to capture any and of 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 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. elsewhere in the u.k. the b.b.c. is unintentionally opened up a debate about traditions of britain's colonial past in the wake of the black lives

matter movement it's after the public broadcaster confirmed its removing lyrics to 2 patriotic songs at its flagship concert the promise 1st off 18th century song will britannia's been criticized for its slavery links while land of hope and glory penned in $1001.00 plugs the british empire british prime minister boris johnson assists the country should not be ashamed of its past. i think it's time we stopped our cringing embarrassment about our history about our traditions and about our culture and we stop these. boats so for communication and witness i wanted to get that off my chest. and so we did the b.b.c. points out the lyrics will return next year once they can feature singers in a covert free environment but the other big as show the concert itself divides opinion both the 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 replating museums where rightly belong but i think on the national broadcast we don't want to hear that sort of stuff and certainly that's only my background if you're 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 your descendants and i think should go almost everybody in the country likes that and they enjoy this up in the one night a year 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 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 lord is 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 for black and brown people to live it's not a racist country this now there is systemic racism simply isn't true look like go on line along the assembly member you. you've got 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 for black people white people actually this is what we think a new well meaning member response of black people when those surveyed by ipsos mori and others in the post black lives much movement is a pretty nice remains or 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 until racism in the b.b.c. culture reflected changing culture of the times and we see programs removed from the b.b.c. like look died 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 but we're not talking about that we're talking about last night of the constitution and you know 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 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 tolland right now is witnessing massive pro-democracy rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook says it would rather not shut down the group that is being pressured by thai authorities the social media to him off is in fact filing a legal challenge against officials however bear in mind in other countries facebook has no qualms whatsoever whatsoever about challenging authority r.t. senior correspondent world goes to have examined next what may be behind the apparent double standards then. 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

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 of 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 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 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 it 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 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. i 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 pruett china groups a slew of them were costly 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 the lid 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 they threw the proved 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. it seems to that mike pump is also facing 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 it may not have made him popular in every foreign capital but it's worked. in doing that composer probably broken the very rules he set for state department employees and the random band's officials from endorsing a candidate at a convention rally or similar gathering but political analyst told this pump had to trump because the stakes are just too high. on payroll is violating. american called the hatch act which prevents officials of an administration to speak in favor of that administration pombo 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 and with less than 3 months to go to the us election increasingly blatant cracks are appearing in both the republican and democratic party platforms on that this morning caleb maupin next. 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 my view these platforms doesn't do enough republicans decided to not even have a platform and to 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 hughes show r r yes if 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 looks tired sees that you even tonight during this nomination for president strong 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 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 rest are not going to be elected away it will mop and artsy new york. funny there's been a sharp rise in them broke over 1000 cases in lebanon after this month's horrific chemical blast in the capital beirut with hospitals overwhelmed maybe no surprise they have thousands of coronavirus victims are not able to get the proper treatment they need. mary.

mary. started off to be looked on was east 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 would not really observe things all of 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

can't. just be. men who can't imagine life without fashion. style without things that might be seen as weakness in this masculine world but they still demonstrate incredible strength of spirit. as they choose. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only population of tens of thousands or forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was that the or you see the

police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast at the plague more than a 100 innocent civilians were. as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent. to which the pollution was involved in some of those cases that killers would later be named. i think it went to the very very top i think it is. the water where all the tape you. give the go ahead. throughout its history to harvest with the self-proclaimed islamic state terrorist group have recruited up 230000 following us from all over the world to fight for the. one.

thousands of russian citizens left their country to join the terrorists often bringing wives and children with them. but as a new could no. more new. hundreds of children and widows were held captive all disappeared. back in russia those children families wait and see. virtually. no one else truths seem wrong. but old rules just don't hold. the

old beliefs yet to shape our disdain you can't get educated and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is a boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss their month as they're going to washington coming up while the world's 2 largest economies seem to be clashing in nearly all fronts well there's one glimmer of hope after trade talks looted and a popular video conference room with down on tuesday we'll discuss where u.s. infrastructure stands in handling the internet traffic have

a lot to get to so let's get started. despite growing tensions between the united states and china both countries are actually making progress on the trade front well this is according to representatives from each respective country who took part in these recent trade talks this development comes just months after the u.s. and china signed phase one of a massive trade deal but will the countries be able to come together when it comes to the latest disagreements over technology which now includes a fight over the popular optic talk argue 3 the 11 joining me to discuss rachel what's the latest on the trade front we're just 10 days ago we heard that schedule negotiations were broadly canceled the now we're learning that there actually was a phone call carried on monday night between representatives for the u.s. and china now we've got statements from both sides and it's interesting to see the u.s. 'd trade representative said both sides see progress and are committed to taking the steps necessary to ensure the success of the agreement then china's ministry of commerce also released a statement in which they said the truth.
