3:03 pm
a look behind me. to slim a winding back to how the on rested was gone some began on sunday and its causes. just be aware that this is upsetting video of what actually happened at the time it shows police shooting a complaint from behind his family said about 24 hours ago the man who is now paralyzed from the waist down. i've now been to professor daniel schorr who teaches race ethnicity class and gender at the city university of new york professor welcome back swati this is very much your field of course. we talk about a city of 100000 people it's not
3:04 pm
a metropolis and yet in 3 nights it's gone from a peaceful city to one where you've got armed civilians confronting protesters the national guard federal law enforcement being involved is this how you feared it would escalate. you know massaging of our notion of wisconsin 48 hours ago what would happen to jigger blake is what's happening to how many unarmed innocent black men black shimmies his 3 children were witnesses to serve in boats pumped into his back what was his crime he was walking to his vehicle he was checking on his 3 children and here we have the police. brutalizing humiliating paralyzing almost murdering him again. upon decades in centuries of this happening in the names of the police have not been released so this is not a riot this is a rebellion of upset people from from can osha going across this country demanding
3:05 pm
that they're finally be does justice given the repeated scenes that we've had since the death of george floyd was saying it again and again and again should the authorities a have seen this coming that it was going to flare up as much as it has and kind but equally as you say a lot of angry and upset people every time this happens they can't just cathal that and stop protests from happening. it's a systematic as we we know one day is minneapolis another day it's harland's the bronx it's oakland now it's can osha in what is the response of the system particularly true in the federal government they send more gasoline into the fire if you will by sending national guard troops they don't put a curfew on police brutality you put her if you want to really on the on the protests and then of course the media specifically far excludes its own will. by constantly criminalizing and vilifying the protesters and that's what this 17 year
3:06 pm
olds young fascist want to be police officer former cadet of the wisconsin police who showed up last night looking to spread havoc in murder and ultimately murdering 2 protesters and shooting another and then he walked right by the police he was late he was just picked up about a hour and a half ago but this sends a clear message that these fascist elements these white supremacist militia elements can show up at these process and harass and kill people as well and what about in terms of the police if it's as endemic has if there's this institutionalized problem with the way the police conduct themselves in the united states is it too far gone to do anything about it or is it such a fragmented process across the country that it's difficult to deal with. it's in demi historical it's institutional honest and i think a lot of people on the other side of fox news and even the liberal our lives they
3:07 pm
don't get how bad they haven't been on the ground to see just how the police role into our community how they treat young black men in women in the national statistics speak for themselves every 28 hours in this country a black person is killed by a large force so there's no question that it's systematic but what the conservative media in particular has done is vilified the protesters without vilifying who is responsible for these redundancies in that the police who constantly protect the rich the 1000000000 in the suburbs the white suburbs we don't want sects everyday people working class people poor people black people immigrant people so we see these class lands in these racial lines being drawn as they have been for 500 years of american history i want to sunny lining up to bring another difficult night in can our show for now professor daniel schorr in new york thank you thank you. well there's also anger why police still don't have cameras and that could have shed
3:08 pm
more light on what happened on sunday despite the city authorities approving bodycount way back in 2017 supplies are already said to be delayed and still won't be ready for another 2 years body cameras in wisconsin are inconsistent while can ocean officers don't have them in other parts of the state they don't have to wear them they must also keep recordings for months in case an investigation is needed on the america's bends one says that would have made a big difference in the case of jacob blake. 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
3:09 pm
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 in 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. another day add yet another to go from the rallies taking place in bella ruse protesters have once again packed into the center of men's because they continued to campaign against what they claimed was a rigged presidential election. has moved from the capital. the protesters behind
3:10 pm
me they have decided to light the flashes on their phones to make themselves visible so you can you can see the scale of this protest about a few 100 people have decided to come out here in the central square of the bella russian capital so well some of them have taken their dogs with them sort of walking their pets here and they're making their voices heard to the right of me there's an improvised podium and does a special person who is kind of steering the protest with a chance with the slogans you know all of them of course are calling on the resignation of the incumbent president of belarus alexander lukashenko and well but i won't go as far as saying that this that this country that belarus is torn by the protests by the opposing protests but right now almost this the anti government action has has been a daily routine here people have been showing up in numbers daily there was a huge a massive protest on sunday as the 10s of thousands of people showed up this is
3:11 pm
like a demo version of it now it's like about a 1000 times smaller but i mean of course it is it is a day so people have their daily business to attend to also pro-government protesters have been coming out in the streets as well but now we have a person here one of the protesters who has agreed to talk to us who is going to tell me why he's here and so on and so forth so hi thank you so much for agreeing to tonight to me could you please shortly introduce yourself and tell me why you're here my name is ron i'm 26 years old i work in the tech sector here in belarus in a private company and i have been coming here for the past turned a half weeks a little bit exhausted but to all the people here are hopeful that this persistent protests this peaceful protest percival will help us make some change in the country if you following a channel like nafta for instance a couple of days ago it published a post essentially giving out person. details and linking to social media of some
3:12 pm
of the young people who showed up at the opposition protest and excuse me of the probably pro-government protest i talked to one of the girls and do she essentially showed me thousands of messages with obscene language and so on and so forth do you think it was such a good idea for a reliable source of information as you put it to in fact to essentially docs a young girl like 21 go she's for 21 years old she in fact had to leave her home she she's scared do you think this is something a reliable source of information should do well i'm opposed to that i don't do that personally. i don't approve of that basically but we should understand that a telegram channel is not a professional media so to say and they are entitled to some mistakes at the at this beginning phases but the good they're doing for our country is right now a little bit bigger than the negative impact they might have occasionally they have more than 2000000 followers do you think that they should be held accountable for
3:13 pm
the mistakes they make i think will give a fair evaluation of their actions after everything is finished but right now it's a little bit of a chaotic time and people shouldn't be judged on minor mistakes when they're good they're doing is great or excuse me for a personal question are you married yes i am would you would how would you feel if your wife got more than 4000 messages calling her all sorts of words and wishing death upon her and her family and so on i wouldn't have about that obviously but i would be more scared if my wife was put into prison and beaten and harassed and or possibly even raped which is our government doing right now it's much worse than any words that might arrive to her in messages. british prime ministers join the growing chorus of international voices demanding an investigation into the alleged poisoning of russian opposition activists alexina valley but before any probes even had the chance to get going boris johnson's already stating as fact the only was deliberately targeted. the poisoning of alexander short the world the u.k.
3:14 pm
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 the meeting in
3:15 pm
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
3:16 pm
all of their information. with the hospital here in berlin they're 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 knee 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 we've been discussing what might be behind the calls for an investigation with geo political analyst and consultant trainer office. we are in the reality of politics of geopolitics and therefore the wording selected by different political needs to be weighed. before the background of political intentions rather than facts and i think we see a clear line here that great britain has a certain interest of. damaging the reputation of russia
3:17 pm
and in the script our case 2 years ago we have never seen clear evidence of what was latched in that time the poisoning of well i just see. a reputation of a certain case of a certain pattern which. fits into the overall framing which has been built concerning russia that it's a cruel regime which hoists and its opponents are kills its opponents without it from moscow on the way to u.k.'s big annual classical sing along where brits usually belted out 2 of the country's most after all take songs but now that she had the baby she's dropping the lyrics sparking a cultural rout centered on covert and colonialism as we discuss among all stories after the break.
3:18 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on often scary dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. if you go to the symphony orchestra's warming up and each musician is his tuning his or her instrument so you hear this year all these sounds and noise but it but it's it's a constant me it's disorganized and then the band the orchestra plays and you get the music so what the brain does and what the maker tubules you is is organized or orchestrated these one collapses.
3:19 pm
again human rights groups are angry at facebook after a blocked a 1000000 strong protest in thailand that's critical of the king thailand scene must pro-democracy rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook says it's been pressured by the thai authorities however the social media giants have no issues about the authorities being challenged in of the country right because they have been taking a look at that. this is an entirely new paradigm where we've been seeing the birth of a new type of censorship customised tailored censorship what you say no longer it no longer matters where you're from what matters is who you say it's against.
3:20 pm
thailand has a very specific law it's called the less majestic and what it does is criminalize any negative speech towards the king move the queen or the ad or the 2nd and so on so the rule family cannot be criticised by anyone if you criticize the queen's dress for example the king's head cut you face 15 years in jail 15 years this now. apparently includes international criticism so facebook for example which just banned approved 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
3:21 pm
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 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 miss the pump arrows happy to cozy up to the saudi king for example it is of dictators who regimes that mr pompei will facebook have a problem with it's where those autocrats are from. 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
3:22 pm
their facebook promoted proved to more crecy groups and cracked down bad procida groups a slew of them were costly working to detect and stop this type of activity because we don't want our services to be used to manipulate people the united states and other free nations will continue to protect our peoples from the long arm of beijing's authoritarianism i mentioned earlier customized censorship this is the result censorship tailored to a time and a place. no 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'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
3:23 pm
call him lucia 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 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. fate about britain's colonial past is making news again in the u.k. after the b.b.c. confirmed that it's removing the lyrics to 2 patriotic songs in its flagship classical concert the problems 18th century song rule britannia has been criticized for its links to slavery a land of hope and glory penned in $1001.00 plugs of the british empire prime
3:24 pm
minister boris johnson known insists brits shouldn't be ashamed of their history i think it's time we stopped. in embarrassment about our history about our traditions and about our culture and we stop this. by its nation and witness i wanted to get that off my chest the b.b.c. says the lyrics were dropped because covert restrictions means there will be the usual flag waving live audience to sing the songs as they've done in so many previous years here's some of the reaction that we've been hearing. 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 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 are black or asian or from one of the commonwealth countries then the implication that brits will never
3:25 pm
be slaves doesn't hold quite true for you and neither your descendants and i think 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 facing 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 and how can we pay be patriotic to a country that formally because black pretty citizens as we saw when ross county we want to have a real debate about the nature of citizenship 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
3:26 pm
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 and. 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 for black people to white people this is what we think a new well meaning member response of black people when those surveyed by themselves 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
3:27 pm
relation to this being some sort of wonderful meritocracy of anti-racism all in a b.b.c. culture reflected changing culture of the times and we see programmes 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 a silly by british culture not every other culture of our own and that's what's so wrong about this and that's the way took from moscow this hour thanks for watching great r.t. programs on the white i'll have you next update in just over half an hour meantime thanks for watching thanks.
