protests turned violent. in the u.s. if it does come off the police shot a black man that reportedly left him paralyzed also the british prime minister joins those calling for an investigation into the poisoning of the russian opposition activist alexina founding the kremlin says no one should be jumping to conclusions when the substance found in his system hasn't been identified and his facebook broken free from thailand to criticize in the making there we look at how the social media giant does pick and choose who would support.

oh good even just 7 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international hundreds of protesters in the u.s. if you can osha defied a curfew overnight designed to bring an end to the recent unrest by the police shot a black man multiple times in the back on sunday on the 3rd night of protests 2 people were shot dead and one was injured. also. in that there.

were expensive things like that you can hear people talking. head of the syrian regime she is a 10 year old making some sort of announcement that exactly there was. a national guard planted on their gas masks. on the polling and. i think the crowd is gradually moved back to the car. if. you can see the pepper balls 1st thing and then her friends. are going to see. different protests and this. is. a look behind me.

i thank you. ok with a slip but then a tie the rest in wisconsin did begin on sunday and its causes a word of warning that the video about to show you is disturbing it does show police shooting jacob blake from behind his family say the 29 year old is now a power lies from the white stand the host of artie's watching the whole. ventura is not surprised by the price that. the only people would be surprised other people to 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 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 would never happen. well there is also a wife and i was shipping still don't have body cameras which we did she had more light on what happened despite city authorities approving body cams way back in 2017 surprises had to be today and still won't be ready for another 2 years when he can rooms to miss inconsistent offices don't have them in other parts of the state they not only wear them but must keep the footage for months in case an

investigation is needed he has been sworn says that would have made a big difference in the case of jacob like. 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 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 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. well issues relating to the black lives not some movements are also making headlines in the u.k. often the big say in the news these dropping their eggs from a performance into iconic patriotic songs which do have things to stay. avery we put the issue up for debate and you can catch it a bit later on in the program. meanwhile 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 although before any probe has been carried out he is already stating as fact that the valley was deliberately targeted. the poisoning of

alexander 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 boris johnson the british prime minister saying that the u.k. backs an independent investigation into what happened to alexina valmy it would seem he 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 concerned 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 mr prescott 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 navalny 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 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 legs in a vial 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. ok let's discuss this a bit further now with raina rough seas a geo political analyst and consultant to news with this you very welcome thanks for coming on raina the u.k. prime minister said as fact today that the valley was deliberately poisoned was the right to say that before any probe has been launched. well of course we are not dealing here with. exact sciences but in a we are in the. politics of geopolitics and therefore the wording

selected by different politicians needs to be weighed. before the background of political intentions iraq than facts and i think that we see a clear line here that great britain has a certain interest of. damaging the reputation of russia and in this group our case 2 years ago we have never seen clear evidence of what was alleged in that time the poisoning of as. we have. reactions on the diplomatic field. diplomats where rick sent back home to russia from many different european countries but the proof was never given after wards so i just see. a repetition of a certain case of a certain pattern which. fits into the overall framing which has been built

concerning russia that it's cruel regime which hoists and its opponents are kills its opponents and the question for me as a geopolitical analyst is why should the russian government act in this way. will be positive but i mean russia hasn't said it won't launch a criminal probably says it will if it can rule out any medical cause is that a fair position finance. it is of course a fair position but as i mentioned before in the script of the case the facts were never really changed no joint investigations were made and therefore i just see a certain political pattern of action here and not really the will of finding out what has really happened and i just see here. and attack on russia

and i don't want to blame alexei in any himself that he may be part of this game but we have to see of course that. we are also dealing with intelligence services in these. matters which could possibly interfere and launch a false flag attack to harm russia so this is a hypothesis which needs to be taken serious but of course the western media and politicians who are interested in damaging the reputation of russia are not interested in mentioning at least mentioning this version. it has happened many times in the past in many different constellations that false flag attacks were launched to pursue a certain political aim and this is could also be the case here ok but course the contra would be that the valley always had many political opponents in russia and

that could have been a motive for opposing him to i suppose it will require an investigation to get to the bottom of exactly what happened but on what we didn't know if the plane says the doctor is there say we have found toxins in his body russian medics say well we didn't surely they need to talk to one another. yeah that would be the right way to go forward to exchange probes also and have a different side and alice seeing analyzing the same probs but it's suspicious also for me when i see who was there are going to say agent which was the organization which has brought alexiev never need to burn into sherry t. hospital it was the n.g.o.s cinema for peace which is like a club of philanthropists and very entranced parents so they do not disclose properly where their money comes from the sources of their own ending

which clearly show us who is behind the organization what are they working for what purposes are they pursuing we just know that in the past they had also collaborated with pussy riot activists progress a lot and who knows what is their own now in this. in this conflict so there are many many factors that have not been disclosed that we cannot really look into and the story of course is quickly fixed so. even in news taters just see oh another opponent. has been poisoned so i am not interested in the facts anymore my framing is clear it must have been the russian government and i tell you right in a good to get your thoughts on this story there is right or office we have to leave the best political analysts and consultants and.

the human rights groups are angry a facebook blocked a 1000000 strong protest in thailand that is critical of the king there thailand has seen mass protests moxy rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook says it's been pressured by thai authorities however the social media giant has had no issues about authorities being challenged in other countries as more and passive explain. 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 heir or the 2nd there and so on so the rule really cannot be criticised by anyone if you 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 21st 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 were. sure is

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 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 all serve what was happening in hong kong freedom justice liberty they shouted over and over again their facebook promoted proved to more crecy groups and cracked down bad 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 it 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 autocrat who is good for america and should be through the 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 usa. probably does have more his mind at the moment in which frenzy because the democratic party has pledged to prove his appearance by video link at the republican national convention where he did for trump. 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 and 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 has apparently broken the very rules he made for employees at the state department memorandum there's a ban officials from endorsing a candidate at a convention rally or similar gathering political analysts understand very bruno believes that pump on this occasion they had no choice. is violating. american 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 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. confirmed it is removing the lyrics of 2 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 back in 1001 plugs the british empire yet british prime minister boris johnson does insist that the country shouldn't be ashamed of its history. i think it's time we stopped cringing embarrassment about our history about our traditions and our culture and we stop these. pirates so for communication and witness i wanted to get that off my chest and a big rigs were actually dropped because of restrictions which main that it can't be anything present we put the issue up for debate. prince of multicultural country

there's 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 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 britons 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 review 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 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 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 i'm a london assembly member and. you've got

a 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 to white people actually this is what we think a new well meaning member response of black people when those surveyed by himself laurie and others in the post black life much movement he's a pretty nice remains a racist country so much like the sort of romantic. drivel that we just said relation so this may be some sort of wonderful meritocracy of anti-racism burnaby b.c. got to reflect a 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 in the front so shouldn't yeah look what i did for

the b.b.c. once diversity find it can have diversity but you've got to have tradition in that you've got to sell it by british culture not every other culture of our own and that's what's so wrong about this. now with less than 3 months to go until the us election increasing banton cracks are appearing in both the republican and all side democratic party platforms more his kind of. 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 hughes show r r yes if you want to really write the crazy you say well who are you. a man who cares a man who loves america and all americans

a man who is tired she used to be. even tonight during this nomination president strong means you need a leader who will rebuild 'd 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 all we had our of the like 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 map and artsy new york. the burden international film festival is scrapping separate of all its practices that chris's in a bid to remove discrimination although not everybody thinks his her winning policy . we 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. the

film directs more traffic does fit in they will actually lead to more

discrimination not less i tend to agree with those says all regards this is the most distant bollix just general. and us so many it's an balik just d'oeuvres the end of. it my actually be counterproductive to its its own stated goals in the sense that if you know how male and female and yet you are in the sense. then you will necessarily have to start some kind of patients does and more or less and even out the. discrepancy being female and male it works so well i think actually what you do is just removing the problem into we're not there. actually erasing it and that is the news for now here and i think could have a company but back again at the top of the.
