how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit. in. protests turned violent as demonstrators to fire a curfew in the u.s. if it comes after the police shooting of a black man there are reports of the left which reportedly left the victim paralyzed the british prime minister joins those calling for an investigation into the alleged poisoning of the russian opposition activist alexina bound me but the kremlin does say no one should be jumping to conclusions when the substance found in his system hasn't been identified and this facebook group from thailand criticizing the king we look at how the social media giant doesn't pick and choose which support.
11:01 am
there are 6 in the evening here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now hundreds of protesters in the u.s. city of defied an overnight curfew designed to bring an end to the recent unrest violence erupted after police shot a black man ultimo times in the back on sunday on the 3rd night of protests 2 people were shot dead and one injured. i. was. also on a call. in that. direction
11:02 am
and those things like that you can hear people talking about. that it's a really interesting show. here. they're making some sort of announcement at exactly air. national guard plants and put on their gas masks for. some of the polling and. the crowd is gradually moved back to the front of the car . if. you can see the pepper balls 1st thing one that represents. the whole i just. can't tell this. is. a look behind me.
11:03 am
thank you. live. ok let's look at how the unrest in wisconsin did begin on sunday and its causes a word of warning you might find the video disturbing it shows police shooting jacob like from behind his family say the 29 year old is now paralyzed from the waist down and the house vote he's watching the whole ventura is not surprise. by the printer. 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 eric garner 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
11:04 am
addressing it without really you know taking it to task and really changing that culture and that nature in this country 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 an ugly sick 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 that never happen. well there's also one group i can i should place still don't have cameras which would have shed more light on what happened despite city authorities improving body counts by back in 2017 surprises said to be delayed and still won't be ready for another 2 years. in consistent offices don't have them in other parts of the state they are not saying wed them but must keep the footage for months to in case of an investigation spends one says
11:05 am
that would have made a big difference in the case of jake but. 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
11:06 am
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. well issues are like you see the black lives math and the mental side making headlines in the u.k. at the moment on the b.b.c. there announced that he's dropping the lyrics from a performance of 2 iconic your take songs which do have links to slavery. we put the issue up for debate and you can catch it a bit later on in the program. meanwhile the british prime minister boris johnson has joined the growing chorus of international voices demanding an investigation into the alleged poisoning of russian opposition activists alexina valmy in vo before any probe has been carried out he's already stating as fact that the valley was deliberately targeted. the poisoning of alexander short the world the u.k.
11:07 am
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 boris johnson the british prime minister saying that the u.k. backs an independent investigation into what happened to alexey novell make it would seem he's supported in that by the german government there was a press briefing on wednesday here in berlin not a lot mentioned about mr no violence but they did say that they stressed the importance of an investigation taking place over the atlantic in the united states u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o said that he was consequent by reports that it's come out from germany and that stay should they prove accurate the united states supports a full investigation now what we've heard coming out from moscow is to me to the
11:08 am
press corps of the kremlin spokesperson saying that moscow also wants to know what happened but the findings of the german clinic alone aren't grounds to launch an investigation as far as they're concerned mr peskov also sent out a 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 were the statements of discontent they should come officially and not from the mass media or the hospital in skin russia that 1st treated alexei and carried out tests to see if they could find any toxins in his system 1st offered to share all of their information. with the hospital here in berlin they are now calling on the
11:09 am
shot at a hospital in the german capital to share information with them to try and determine exactly what they found in alexina vilely system as it stands at the moment though when it comes to the condition of the lakes in the file me what we know for the latest is that he remains stable but in an induced coma there's been no further updates from medics here in germany. it's role of reporting there now human rights groups are angry at facebook after it blocked a 1000000 strong protest in thailand that is critical of the king of thailand has seen mass pro-democracy rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook says it's been pressured by thai authorities and is filing a legal challenge however the social media giant has had no hughes the bag or authorities being challenged in other countries is more against the explains. 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
11:10 am
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 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 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
11:11 am
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 the. autocrats are from. remember the united states government south thing itself or server what was
11:12 am
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 because li 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 pomp alles pow.
11:13 am
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. well the us secular state might. have more his mind at the moment than what his friends what friends he keeps that is after the democratic party pledged to probe his appearance by video link at the republican national convention where he did root for trump
11:14 am
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 good story 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 made for employees at the state department memorandum bans officials from endorsing a candidate at a convention rally or similar gathering political analyst alexandra bruno believes that on this occasion i had no choice. is violating. america called the hutch which prevents officials of an administration to speak in
11:15 am
favor of that administration 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 debate about britain's colonial past is making news again in the u.k. after the b.b.c. there confirmed it is removing the lyrics to 2 patty arctic songs at its flagship concert the proms 18th century song 10 year has been criticized for its links to slavery while land of hope and glory penned back in 91 plugs the british empire yet british prime minister boris johnson does insist the country shouldn't be ashamed
11:16 am
of its history. i think it's time we still are. embarrassment about our history about our traditions and our culture and we stop this. by recrimination and witness i want to get that off my chest. with babysitters so the next we're actually dropped because covert restrictions mean they can't be anything at present we put the issue up for debate. prince of multicultural country has anthems written in the. early 18th century prefix of britain's imperial past so well and good maybe this reclaiming museums where rightly belong but i think on a national broadcast we don't want to hear that sort of stuff and certainly that's only 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
11:17 am
true for you and neither you or the cendant sniping should go almost everybody in the country likes that and they enjoyed this up in the one night a year of the last night of the problems 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 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 so
11:18 am
we're 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 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 you. you've got a an indian home secretary you've got in india the chancellor of the exchequer yeah no i do they you know it's not all white people to say to black people this is a wonderful country no racism doesn't exist it's a black people to white people actually this is what we think and the well meaning member response of black people when they're surveyed by ipsos mori and others in the post black like muscle movement he's a pretty nice remains a racist country so much like the sort of romantic. drivel that we just said
11:19 am
relation so this may be some sort of wonderful meritocracy of anti-racism all 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 but we're not talking about that we're talking about last night of the drums and shouldn't yeah look what i did for the b.b.c. once diversity you find it can have diversity but you've got to have tradition in that you've got a city by british culture not every other culture of our own and that's what's so wrong about this. that the u.s. envoy to the u.n. has honed in on diplomatic tirades against america's allies including fellow i and basses have backing terrorists softer than france north and germany refuse to support washington's move to slap more sanctions on iran the trumpet menace french
11:20 am
2 hearts no fear in standing a remix of company on this matter and light at the unmistakable truth that in our absence. i only regret that other members of this council have lost their way and now find themselves standing in the company of terrorists or washington demanded the reinstatement of all 15 un sanctions but security council allies did refuse saying the white house actually had no right to initiate procedures in the deal could actually be true from itself back in 2018 is how the security council president summed up the 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 exists in my view it is not one sense that in that until that's the president it's not in the partition. exton former pentagon security analyst
11:21 am
mike maloof does believe that washington has been sent a clear message i think iran is boyd by the fact that the u.n. security council almost unanimously shot there on 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 thank your honour's for no other way follow suit as a consequence and not do anything to disrupt that channel but with less than 3 months to go until the u.s. election increasing baten cracks are appearing too in both the republican and democratic party platforms kelly market has more. 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
11:22 am
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
11:23 am
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 is tired. even tonight during this nomination the president's wrong means we 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
11:24 am
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 you know what martin artsy new york. finally this hour the bird in international film festival is scrapping separate of all what's practice in that chris's in a bid to remove discrimination but it does seem that everybody thinks it is and not everybody thinks it is a winning policy. we
11:25 am
believe that not separating the awards in the acting field according to gender comprises a signal for a more gender sensitive awareness in the film industry. and

direct more traffic has faith that the yet move will actually lead to more discrimination not lack. as this is the most the symbolic gesture are. so many and some ball it just. it might actually. do it's it's all let's go in the stands. now male and female. yes. then you will necessarily have to start some patients to more or less. even out the.
11:27 am
discrepancy being female and male it works so well i think actually what you do is you're just removing the problem into or not they're. actually. that brings up say that's how the news is looking say pass today here not he was back again in just over half an. if you go to the symphony orchestra's warming up and each musician is is tuning his or her instrument so you hear this. sounds or noise put it but it's it's a constant a it's disorganized and then the band the orchestra plays and you get music so what the brain does and what the maker juveniles do you use is organized orchestrated to
