if the. politicians you. the. protests turned violent demonstrators defy a curfew in the u.s. city of that comes after the police shot a black man they're reportedly leaving him paralyzed. british prime minister joins calls for an investigation into the alleged poisoning of russian opposition activist. but the kremlin says no one should jump to conclusions when the substance found in his system hasn't been identified. and his facebook blocks a group from thailand criticizing the king how the social media giant picks and chooses who would support.

live and worldwide this is r.t. international from moscow glad to have you with us one colum break with the big stories we're across at this hour wisconsin's governor has said that he's sending 500 national guard to help support local police tonight after hundreds of protesters there defied a curfew last night which was designed to bring an end to recent unrest violence erupted after police shot a black man multiple times in the back on sunday on the 3rd night of protests 2 people were shot dead a 3rd was injured and within the past few hours a 17 year old's been charged with 1st degree intentional homicide. that's. also her calling.

in her that. things. are expensive and those things like that you can hear people talking about. let me see if you think. of it here. they're making some sort of announcement at exactly air. national guard plants and put on their gas masks. on the playing and. i think the crowd is magically moved back to the car. you can see the pepper balls 1st thing and then have. the whole. people tell them this.

is. a good line me. thank you. a warning back to sunday or more lead to those days of all going on rush not just be aware that this is upsetting video of what actually happened on sunday it shows police shooting jacob blake from behind his family say the 29 year old is now paralyzed from the waist down all to america political commentator to robin torres says he's not surprised by the subsequent protests. i mean 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 wives matter 1st started were trayvon martin and then you know you had mike brown or 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 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 but never happens there's also a police still don't have body cameras which could have more money so what happened despite city authorities approving body cams way back in 2017 supplies is said to be tonight and still won't be ready for another 2 years. it was inconsistent officers don't have them in other parts of the state they don't have to wear them

but they must also keep the recordings for months in case an investigation is needed america's band swarm says that would have made a big difference in the case of jacob like. it is institutional failure and by the way 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 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 set a budget issue it's a lack of will issue. another day and yet another anti-government rallies taking place in protest as once again upon backing into the center of men because they continue to campaign against what they claim was a rigged presidential election. has more from the capital. the protesters behind 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 better russian capital and 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 the 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 like a demo version of it now it's like about a 1000 times smaller but i mean of whose 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 is 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 protest this peaceful protest percival will help us make some change in the country if you fall in the channel like next to for instance a couple of days ago it published a post essentially giving out personal. details and linking to social media of some of the young people who showed up at the opposition protest and excuse me of the probably pro-government protests i took 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 21 years old 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 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 5 excuse me for a personal question are you married yes i am would you would you 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 be happy 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 valmy but before any probes even have the chance to get going boris johnson is already stating as fact the valley was deliberately targeted. the poisoning of alexander short 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 for us 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 all that 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'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 valley 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 we discuss what might be behind the calls for an investigation with geo political analyst a consultant rainer 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 iraq 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 the script case 2 years ago we have never seen here evidence of what was alleged in that time the poisoning of well i just see. it titian of certain case

a certain pattern which. fits into the overall framing which has been built concerning russia that it's a cruel regime or which hoists and its opponents are kills its opponents it without a from moscow on the way the u.k.'s big admiral classical sing along with brits usually belting out to the country's most popular songs well this year though the b.b.c. is dropping the lyrics sparking a culture out centered on covert and colonialism we discussed among all stories after the break. when else seemed wrong. but all wrong just don't call. me while yet to say proud these days to come to africa. and in games right equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just of the common ground. 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 are always put 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 juveniles do is is organized or orchestrate these one collapses.

human rights groups around great facebook after a blocked a 1000000 strong protest in thailand that's critical of the king thailand to say mass pro-democracy rallies with some calling for reform of the moment facebook says that it's been pressured by the thai authorities however the social media giants have no issues about authorities being challenged in other countries and i guess 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 customized tailored censorship what you say no longer masses it no longer matters where you're from what matters is who you say it's 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 move the queen or the ad or the 2nd and

so on so the rule 5 really 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 at least now a paris. includes international criticism so facebook for example which just banned uprooted more chrissy 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 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 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 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 new one. and 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 pumping his pow. and here we are europe's last dictator they 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 its removing the lyrics to 2 patriotic songs at it like ship classical concert the problems 18th century song rule britannia has been criticized for its links to slavery while land of hope and glory penned in $1001.00 plugs the british empire prime minister boris johnson though insists brits should not be ashamed of their history i think it's time we stopped our prejean embarrassment about our history about our traditions and about our culture and we stop these. boats

so for communication and witness i wanted to get that off my chest for the b.b.c. says the lyrics were dropped because covert restrictions means that there won't be think usual flagwaving live audience to sing the songs as they have done in so many previous years here's some of the reaction we've been hearing. 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 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 be slaves doesn't hold quite true for you and neither your descendants and i think should go almost everybody in the country likes that and they enjoy 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 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 deports black pretty citizens as we saw you know when ross county we want to have a real debate about the nature of citizenship among them compared to how thick 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 so we're 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 that 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. we've got i 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 white people 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. culture reflected changing culture 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 on the absolutely 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 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. republican supporters in the us are crying foul after news networks dropped live coverage of an antiwar speech during the party's ongoing convention senator rand paul took to the stage but channel switched away. i'm supporting president trump because he believes as i do that a strong america cannot fight endless wars i fear biden will choose war again if you hate war like i hate war if you want to quit sending 50 $1000000000.00 7 every

year to afghanistan to build their roads and bridges instead of building them here at home you need to support president trump top is c.-span c.n.n. bottom left m.s.n. b c middle left fox right out of the gate c.n.n. cuts rand paul speech entirely out c.n.n. saw rand paul and they were like hell no. rand paul talking about stopping war and how donald trump is not initiated any new wars fox news cuts it all out for an interview with john jr we have moved. a human and labor rights lawyer down kovalchuk believes the war isn't so intertwined into the existence of the u.s. the you carpool about pace it did it because there is so much of a consensus in this country about the rightness of of us warfare are brought to the media that is very much. in lockstep with both

parties and supporting american intervention abroad i think it's very much of the d.n.a. of this country and its very very hard thing to fight against the media might embrace other social justice issues. but the idea of speaking out against u.s. war even when prosecuted by unpopular president like truck is just not acceptable in the united states it is the one saying we're saying. institution the warfare institution the military industrial complex which president eisenhower warned about the nikkei it these and he didn't even see that but as it existed. across talks next on the international thrashing out whether american civil unrest is more down to the race 30 minutes repeat of the bell and his guest coming up all that me back to update you with headline news for now though from.

thanks for watching. join me every thursday on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to guests 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 the thing you know what i'm more also known as an l w of the breakdown of caste and following him on twitter for a long time plus into his private cast you know 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 tim. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based 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. close of dependency and addiction to opiates is the long use that really is. and scientifically just now study actually suggest that. the long term effects may not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they may be causing long term.

hello and welcome across the uk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle the spiral downward depending on who you believe in the media the civil unrest in america is the result of systematic racism this explains protests and rioting but it does it the commanding heights controlling the financial system media and the business world are loath to admit it it's the economy stupid for them race always trumps class. to discuss this and more i'm joined by my guest jason nichols in l. the cut city is a professor of african-american studies and in new york we crossed to margaret kimberly she is the editor and senior columnist at the black gender report as well

as the author of the book prejudicial black america and the presidents are right cross up rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let's 1st go to margaret here in my introduction i said that race always trumps class and if you look at mainstream media particularly the liberal media that is the message you get over and over and over again now we're remarkably we actually are still in the middle of the pandemic. ends of millions of people have lost their jobs we've seen acts of congress. in the inaction of a president the people that have the most money are protected and now we have this horrific death of george floyd which i think it was very i was very pleased that there was a universal virtually universal reaction to this this is this was an atrocity but that seems so long ago when we think of the of the riots and continued protests and the actions of the press.
