trouble for another night demonstrators in the u.s. city can no should defy a state of emergency curfew to continue sometimes extremely violent protests which . allegedly paralyzed by shooting him in the back we got the latest while also coming up this hour over in the u.k. the movement also reappears in the headlines this time as the b.b.c. temporarily scraps lyrics for 2 colonial era songs but i guess think the issue goes much wider actually. we're an unequal society and the racial lines.

you know executed least one of the police is black and brown beaten to live. freedom of speech takes a bit of a blow online as facebook blocks a group from thailand criticizing the king their social media giant increasingly choosing which protest movement deserves support which will be silenced across. both the democratic and republican conventions past increasing disarray with democrats refusing to back their party platform and the g.o.p. not even presenting an official platform at all. but after the 26th of august live from. moscow when i was kevin i've got the latest round for you hope you stay with me there is a take you through it in a lot more detail starting with this hundreds of. hester's in the city of. defying

a state of emergency curfew designed to cool days of unrest rallies erupted after police shot a black man multiple times on sunday 2 people were killed overnight amid the arrest a 3rd victim with serious gunshot injuries was taken to hospital numerous media reporting that the perpetrator is a young white male with an assault rifle but that's yet to be confirmed officially here's what happened in can all share in more detail overnight. to get a majority of. these

. polls i think. there's thousands of protesters. from all over the place. cincinnati. everywhere it was really chaotic. down there days i got yes i got yes. i had a couple friends that guy. rubber bullets down here. or more about what happened there overnight a warning you may find this video disturbing it shows police shooting jacob blake from behind his focus was to be full his family say the 29 year old is now from the

waist down. the host of teens watching the host of insurers says the protests are hardly surprising over all this. 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 institutionalism without really addressing it without really you know taking it to task and really changing about culture and the nature of 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 well this also i get to why i can assure offices still have no body count which would of course of help shed a lot more like to what happened despite city authorities approving body comes back in 2017 supplies have been delayed for at least another 2 years from now but it comes. rules in wisconsin no morally inconsistent offices don't have all of them a in other parts of the states they not only have to wear them but must keep the footage for months to just in case an investigation is needed. could've been incredibly useful in the jacob blake 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 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 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 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. meantime over in the u.k. the b.b.c. is unintentionally opened up

a debate about traditions in britain's colonial past in the wake of the matter of movement it's after the public broadcaster confirmed its removing lyrics to 2 patriotic songs at its flagship concert the proms 18th century song rule britannia that has been criticized for its slavery links while land of hope and glory penned in 1001 plugs the british empire british prime minister boris johnson insists the country shouldn't be ashamed of its history. 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 still recrimination and witness i wanted to get that off my chest and so he did the b.b.c. point said the lyrics will return next year once they can feature singers in a covert free environment but other pegues show 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 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 you or the cendant sniping should go almost everybody in the country likes it 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 it when ross county we want to have a real debate about the nature of citizenship more than prepared to help it but 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 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 i'm a london assembly member you. you'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 not racism doesn't exist it's for black people white people actually this is what we think and they're well meaning member response of black people when those surveyed by ipsos mori and others in the post black like most of movement he's a pretty nice remains a racist country so much like the sort of romantic. drivel that we just said he relation to this being some sort of wonderful meritocracy of anti-racism well 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 the 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 drum so shouldn't yeah look what if the b.b.c.

wants diversity you find that you have diversity but you've got to have tradition in there you've got to sit by british culture not every other culture. and that's what's so wrong about this if this story interests you just let me know to just come up a bit later leading the world film festival goes gender neutral scrapping separate awards for actors and actresses we ask if it's going to help the film industry inclusiveness has claimed all maybe not going to pass coming up. human rights advocates are 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 thailand right now as witnessing massive pro-democracy rallies and some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook says it would rather not shut down the group but is being pressured by thai authorities the social media behave off is filing a legal challenge indeed to get. officials however in other countries worth bearing

in mind facebook has no qualms whatsoever it seems about challenging authority next r.t. senior correspondent lourdes garcia of examining what may be behind the apparent double standard. 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 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 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 shows a set of 200 years and i know we will remain great and good friends for the next 2 centuries as well we could. mr pompei stark raving duplicity and hypocrisy after

all mr 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 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 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 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 they threw 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. sees my pompei 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 it is a fictional 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 broke pretty 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. whether in doing the making that appearance propose 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 but political analyst alexandra bruno told us pump. because the stakes were just too high. 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. with less than 3 months to go to the us election increasingly blatant cracks are appearing in both the republican and democratic

party platforms covering that today 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 oppression 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 hughes show r r yes if you want to really write him crazy you say well for years. a man who cares a man who loves america and all americans a man who works tirelessly you can do you. even tonight during this nomination 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 we had 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 believe people when wait altogether and right after the elections it looks like we'll be back to square one the big problems underlying these do and on rast are not going to be elected away it will mop and artsy new york.

folks take to tell what should stay rich in among stories ahead this one washington's envoy to the u.n. toys allied diplomats not a terrorist just for refusing to back its iran sanctions plan we're on it i'm about . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development only closely. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very creative time to sit down and talk. if you go to the symphony orchestra's warming up any musician is is tuning his or her instrument so you hear

this year all these sounds are noise but it but it's it's a constant a it's disorganized and then the band the orchestra plays and you get music so with the brain does it with the mike or tubules you this is organized orchestration one collapses. it's been a sharp rise in the number of cases in lebanon after this month's horrific chemical blast in the capital beirut with hospitals overwhelmed thousands of coronavirus victims are not getting proper treatment.

started us to be looking don was east because of the financial crisis that we would gone through. and then the explosion happened and a lot of people doing you know after the explosion would not really observing all of the safety measures wearing mosques and save social distancing so that resulted in even the biggest surge. out of the before the explosion we went on and on those stores and with the

explosion we used a whole lot to have to $35000.00 plus as a tease that came to diminish in cities and it was a hospital so to say that the moment is what is keeping us going and eligibility to treat patients. the u.s. envoy to the u.n. has launched a shocking day on diplomatic tirade against american allies accusing fellow ambassadors of backing terrorists all because the u.k. france and germany for once refused to support washington to reinstate iran sanctions that trump administration has no fear in standing in limited company on this matter and light at the unmistakable truth guiding our actions. i only regret the other members of this council have lost their way and now find themselves standing in the company of terrorists washington demanded reinstatement

of all pre 2015 un sanctions on tehran but security council allies refused adding the white house had no right to initiate procedures in the deal it withdrew from in 2018 is how the security council president summed up the video link session. it is clear for me that there is one man where it's at the arctic oscillation on issues well there are significant numbers of members who have one exists in my view that is not once answered in the council that the president is not in the partition or extend. forward hand to conspiracy analyst michael maloof told us this pushback by u.s. allies sends a clear message that. i think iran is as boid by the fact that the u.n. 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 think you're rama's by no other way follow suit as a consequence and not do anything to disrupt that channel. a top film festivals going gender neutral scrapping separate awards for actors and actresses in a bid to try to remove discrimination but many warn of that the berlin ali's attempts to fight male domination of the industry a purely symbolic. in the. film industry.

awards could be a slippery slope to more discrimination not less. i tend to agree with those says all regards this is the most distant bollix just terror. and us so many hits and ball it just drives the end of time and it might have actually be counterproductive to its its own stated goals in the sense that if you know how male and female are as arms yet are in the center. then you will necessarily have to start and what patients does and more or less been an issue even out the. discrepancy being female and male it works so well i think actually what you do is just removing the problem into a not the. actually you're missing it. what you've just seen flaws the snapshot of

what we're talking about today on the social media enough to go home for now though reporting for most cocoa but no in signing off of a great wednesday. join me every 1st day on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know a look at the solutions we look to take a deep dive into the issues they've been chatting about all year now today we're going to be talking with a new old widow more also known as n l w of the breakdown hot cast and following him on twitter for a long time plus into his private casio the great thing about this whole new universe of media stacey is that people who might not get on media get on media and

then they rise to the top and suddenly they're like wow these people are awesome and i would put and that's a deal in that 10. american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. these drugs talk to people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy be certain to. price at the. grocery dependency him addiction to opiates is the long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that . the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually the right because we want to.
