families want them searchable. protests turned violent as demonstrators defy a curfew in the u.s. city if it comes after police there are likely power lies a black man after shooting him in the back while they were in the u.k. the black lives matter movement also reappears in headlines is the b.b.c. temporarily scraps lyrics for 2 new era songs we put the issue up for debate. for we're among you can decide on a deeply racialized society you know it's. black and brown people believe. in freedom of speech takes a bit of blow online this facebook blocks a group from thailand criticizing the king we look at how the social media giant is

increasingly choosing which protest movements to support or silence and disarray effects both the democratic and republican conventions and democrats refusing to back their party platform and he's not even presenting an official platform. that is 3 pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international hundreds of protesters in the u.s. city are defying a state of emergency curfew designed to calm days of unrest rallies erupted after police shot a black man multiple times on sunday 2 people were killed overnight i made the latest on the rest of the victim with serious gunshot injuries was taken to hospital numerous media reporting the perpetrator was a young white male with an assault rifle. that this is not confirmed officially is

more an act of what took place i've been asked. a few feet. i could i think send in a crowd to get a majority and think i was about was. the courthouse. police. firing. off a cracker how we thank i. i . i i. there's thousands of. you. from all from all over the place. cincinnati in minnesota

everywhere you were just really chaotic down there tonight i was down there for the 2 days i got yes i got yes the other night. i had a couple friends a guy i see rubber bullets down here. they say they're very. ok well here's a recap then of how the unrest in wisconsin actually began on sunday and its causes a word of warning you may find this video disturbing police shows and jacob from behind his family say the 29 year old is not paralyzed from the waist down. from the force top of insurers says the current process the hardly surprising. when the only people would be surprised other people to believe the berbers a lot of 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 garter and you had kerry so after kerry or served because. 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 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 you know politicians getting on t.v. and promising reforms would never happen. it's why can i ship and he still doesn't have body cameras which would have shed more light exactly on what happened despite city authorities approving 40 cambs way back in 2017 supplies have been delayed for at least another 2 years from now what he camera. zooming the inconsistent

this is done to them until now the parts of the states not anywhere them must keep the 1st each for months in case an investigation is needed how you spend could that could have been incredibly useful in the 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 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. it is good 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 then it becomes disingenuous when there is a situation like this and now the mayor says oh it's a budget issue is not a budget issue it's a lack of will issue. now in u.k. the b.b.c. has inadvertently opened up a debate about traditions and britain's colonial past in the wake of the black lives matter movement that after the public broadcaster confirmed it is removing the lyrics have to songs at its flagship concert the proms 18th century song rule britannia has been criticised for its links to slavery 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 of. embarrassment about our history about our traditions and about our culture and we stop these. pirates recrimination and witness i want to get that off my chest. and the b.b.c. does point out the lyrics will return next year once they can feature singh is in a cave read free environment we put the issue up for debate with the concert itself dividing opinion. prince of multicultural country has anthems written in the. early 18th century critics 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 your

descendants night 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 review it's not the place of people 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 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 but 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 see go 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 these 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 i got on well i'm a london assembly member and. 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 the whole well meaning member response of black people when those surveyed by ipsos mori and others in the post black like martin movement is a pretty nice remains or a racist country so much like the sort of romantic. drivel that we've just 30

relation to this being some sort of wonderful meritocracy of anti-racism well in the b.b.c. got to reflect a changing culture of the times and we see programs removed from the b.b.c. like look day neighbor and god knows what else and there will be more of that to come up solution sure and this is just another element of that that was something completely different i would 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 of. our own and that's what's so wrong about this. that more international reaction is coming in on the onus of the russian opposition activists elected in the valley the british prime minister horace johnson is now demanding a full investigation from moscow stating as a proven fact that the valley was intentionally poisoned despite

a lack of evidence to back that up. the poisoning of alexander vanny shocked the world the u.k. stands in solidarity with him and his family we need a full transparent investigation into what happened the perpetrators must be held accountable and the u.k. will join international efforts to ensure justice is done. ok let's get more now from peter oliver he joins us from berlin painter we're hearing there that boris johnson wants a full investigation from moscow and i understand he's made further comments today in the last hour or so. yes that's right the u.k. prime minister calling for an independent probe into what happened to alexina valmy that's come out in the last hour or so we've also just heard from the german government here in berlin who have been delivering their daily press briefing there wasn't an awful lot about alexei navalny in that but what there was was again stressing the importance of an investigation into what happened to mr novelli as

far as angle americal and the rest of the german government are concerned we've also heard from moscow with dmitry peskov the kremlin spokesperson saying that moscow is also very interested in finding out what happened to alexina file me but he did also in this statement warning against jumping to conclusions we repeat that we're also interested in finding what's happened to the victim numerous analyses by our doctors have been no help in detecting the substance that causes current state we're not aware of the german medics found a substance numerous wordings about poisoning that are widely used now we treat them with patients but do not agree with such a version at the current stage 1st we should find the poisonous substance as for the statements of discontent they should come officially and not from the mass media. well also coming out of russia we've heard from the hospital in

that 1st trait alexina valmy they had previously offered to share all of their information with the shot at a hospital here in berlin which is currently treating him they've now asked the hospital here to share with them the data that they found from their tests so they can try and identify exactly what substance was found and where it was found well this case has drawn attention from around the world we've also heard from the united states where secretary of state mike comp aoe had this to say. the united states is deeply concerned by reports of drew american goods and stronger medical experts the russian opposition activist who works in the bone who was poor isn't it the reports crew of the united states supports the e.u.'s call food comprehensive investigation and stance read it to assist in the food of the latest information we have from the shot at a hospital here in berlin which is treating alexina valley is that he is in

a stable condition and remains in an induced coma will be looking out for any more information regarding the situation with alexina family as it comes to us and soon as it comes to me i'll be bringing it to you live on r.t. q ok thanks peter as artie's peter over there for us in berlin. now the u.s. envoy to the u.n. has launched a shockingly undiplomatic tirade against american allies accusing fellow ambassadors of backing terrorists or because the u.k. france and germany for one for a few support washington to reinstate iran sanctions that trump administration has no fear in standing in limited company on this matter and light and mistake of all truth our actions. i only regret the other members of this council have lost their way and now find themselves standing in the company of terrorist washington demanded reinstatement of all preety 15 un sanctions on tehran but the security

council allies refused adding that the white house had no right to initiate procedures in the deal it would through from itself and 2018 here's 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 station on issues well there are significant numbers of members who have done better in fields in my view it is not one stance as in the council that the president is not in the partition. xtend former pentagon security analyst michael maloof says that the pope pushback by u.s. allies does send a clear message think iran is boid by the fact that the u.n. security council almost unanimously shot down a u.s. proposal to continue 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 go in and i think you're rama's pano probably follow suit as a consequence and not do anything to disrupt that channel watching r.t. we're going to take a quick break we'll have more nice intimidates. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. again you with a has been a sharp rise in the number of cases in lebanon. chemical blasts in the capital

beirut with hospitals are overwhelmed thousands of coronavirus victims are not getting proper treatment. started after the look don was east because of the financial crisis that we were going slow. and then the explosion happened and a lot of people doing you know after the explosion would not really observing all the safety measures wearing masks and social distancing so that resulted in even the biggest search.

already before the explosion we went on and on those stores and with the explosion we used all what you have to teach us 1000 plus as it is that came to the emergency rooms of 40 hospitals so this is. at the moment is what is keeping us going and eligibility to treat patients. that human rights activists asari advocates a furious that social media giant facebook is blocking access to a 1000000 strong protest group in thailand with the group's criticism of the country's king thailand is witnessing mass pride of the rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook though says it would rather not shut down the great but is being pressured by thai authorities and these filing

a legal challenge against officials however in other countries facebook actually has no qualms whatsoever about challenge. authority our senior correspondent cast you have examines what may be behind the current double standards. this is an entirely new paradigm we're witnessing 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 heir 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 that 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 mr pump arrow's 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 south thing 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 cracked down bad proved 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

a place no one rule for all so you can fight for freedom so long as you are 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 it mean comment about him well you can't do that see he is pump a rose powell. 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. or against their will it does seem that my pompei is also facing flak at home because the democratic party is pledging a probe into his appearance by video link the republican national convention rooting for trump he did it 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 in just 2 weeks ago the president broke pretty good store of 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 however in doing that has apparently broken the very rules he set for the state department employees memorandum bans officials from indorsing

a candid at a convention rally or similar gathering political analyst alexandra bruno did tell us that they had to back to back because the stakes are just too high one pair is violating. america called the hutch which prevents officials of an administration to speak in favor of that administration or 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 leaving the hijacked because the potential benefits in voting terms are greater but with less than 3 months to go until the u.s.

election increasingly blatant cracks are appearing to win both the republican and democratic party platforms at moppin explains. 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 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 almost 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 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 trying to 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 rest are not going to be elected away it will mop and artsy new york.
