supports. live from moscow across the world thanks for joining us at all to international tonight. welcome to the program. he's sending $500.00 national guards to kenosha to help support local police on wednesday night after hundreds of protesters there defied a curfew on tuesday night which was designed to bring an end to recent unrest and 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 and the 3rd was injured within the past few hours a 17 year old has been charged with 1st degree intentional homicide. he.
7:02 pm
calls a sentence. that . things. are expensive and those things like that you can hear people talking behind me. that's the bigger picture being shown. here. they're making some sort of announcement that exactly but their whole national government let them put on their gas masks. on the polling and. think the crowd is magically moved back from the front of the park. if. you can see the pepper ball the 1st thing that ever friends.
7:03 pm
are called just by the grammy. people listening to this. there was a look behind me. to see. one day back to sunday and what led to those days of ongoing unrest this is video of what happened that shows police shooting jacob blake from behind his family say the 29 year old is now power lies from the. political commentator it's irrelevant says he's not surprised by the protests. 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
7:04 pm
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 and rallies kind of false you know. dog and pony show styled mixes of the institutionalism without really addressing it without really you know taking it to task and really changing the culture and the nature of this country but that allows these things to happen so no it doesn't surprise me that we're seeing once again george floyd now this man in wisconsin it's a pattern that's not going to change until there is real actual honest change in this country and that doesn't come from just you know politicians getting on t.v. and promising reforms would never happen. but there's also. police still don't have body cameras which could shed a lot more light on what happened despite city authorities approving body cams way back in 2017 surprise said to be delayed and still won't be ready for another 2
7:05 pm
years. in wisconsin and consistent. officers have them in other parts of the state where the not only way out of it must keep recordings for months in case an investigation is needed. that would have made a big difference in the case. 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 of 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 it in some cases
7:06 pm
certainly not at all but in some cases get to use their cell phones to capture any and version of what happened right because the still 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 and yet another government running has taken place and by the protesters once again packed into the center of minsk as they continue to campaign against what they claim was a rigged presidential election. donna 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
7:07 pm
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 course it is it is
7:08 pm
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 to this peaceful protest percival will help us make some change in the country if you fall in the channel like nafta 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
7:09 pm
prover 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 docks a young girl like 21 years she's 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 the mistakes they make i think will give a fair evaluation of their actions after everything is finished but right now it's
7:10 pm
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 what you would do 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. the british prime minister has joined the growing chorus of international voices demanding an investigation into the alleged poisoning of russian opposition activists alexina valmy but before any probe was even had a chance to get it going boris johnson is already stating as fact that no. it was deliberately targeted. the poisoning of alexander short the world the u.k.
7:11 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 alexei novelli 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 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 me to the press corps of the kremlin spokesperson saying that moscow also wants to know what
7:12 pm
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 skin russia that 1st treated alexei 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
7:13 pm
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 discussed what might be behind because for us to go in with your political analyst and consultant run their office . we are in the reality of politics of geopolitics and therefore the wording selected by different politicians 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
7:14 pm
and in this case 2 years ago we have never seen clear evidence of what was alleged in that time the poisoning of well i just see. 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 or which. its opponents or kills its opponents. to its realities and ash live from moscow still to come the u.k.'s big annual classic sing along web brits usually belt out to the country's most patriotic songs not this year though the b.b.c.'s dropping the lyrics it sparked a cultural raul and on codes and colonialism that one more often the bright.
7:15 pm
one else seems wrong. wrong just don't hold. any real world believe you have to shape out these days become educated and gain trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when just to look for 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 of noise but it but it's it's a constant it's disorganized and then be the be and the orchestra plays and you get music so what the brain does and what the maker tubules you is organized or
7:16 pm
orchestrate these one collapses. welcome back to the program human rights groups are angry at facebook often blocked a 1000000 strong protest in thailand that's critical of the king of thought and seen mass pro-democracy rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook has been pressured by title thirty's over the social media giant has had no issues about wealth or he's being challenged in other countries or against the of has been taken a closer look. this is an entirely new paradigm where we've missing the birth of a new type of censorship customized tailored censorship what you say no longer it
7:17 pm
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 air 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 50. he is this now apparently includes international criticism so on facebook for example which just banned uprooted more crissy 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 said. you can't criticize a person because his father gave him

7:19 pm
facebook promoted through democracy groups and crackdown bad the pro china groups a slew of them are 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 tayla. to a time and the place knew 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 you and your family's life because you wrote it mean comment about him well you can't do that see he is pumping his power. and here we are
7:20 pm
europe's last dictator they call him lucian go 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 prove democracy groups under the bus and label them haters. who is at a disadvantage though his daddy see he didn't give them a crown and say that it protects against rowdy peasants. british health care workers have marched on what hole in central on wednesday demanding more pay. oh. oh. oh they claim they deserve better off to put in their lives on the law at the

height of the covert process which recorded the worst level of krona virus that's in europe with more than that 41000 lives lost by never extracts the state run national health service to its limits earlier this once medics held similar demonstrations in 40 towns and cities across the country we spoke to. who took part in today's protest. boyce is a not been heard on see anything that any of the unions are doing to so was absolutely nothing i'm saying that the unions are average every day and research papers and also but none of them attack your mail system who us now sees the government predicted in that way and i have another one you know i didn't mean if you think that we're going to go back on the battlefield without sanction i'm sorry it's not really worth risking our lives to go and. when we're actually in ourselves at risk too many of our colleagues in the fight it specially the black nurse. you
7:22 pm
cannot expect to send us back on our field without the protection unfortunately a lot of us who are not working that. debate about britain's colonial past is making news again in the u.k. self the b.b.c. confirmed it's a move in the lyrics to 2 patriotic songs as it's for at its flagship classical concert the proms 18th century song ruled britain has been criticized for its links to slavery while the land of hope and glory penned in 1901 longs the british empire prime minister boris johnson though in says brits shouldn't be ashamed of their history. i think it's time we stopped cringing embarrassment about our history about our traditions and our culture and we start this. nation and witness i want to get that off my chest. b.b.c. says the lyrics were dropped because covert restrictions mean there won't be the
7:23 pm
usual flag waving live audience to sing the songs as they've done in previous years . actions we've been hearing. prints of multicultural contributors 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 somebody my background if you are black or asian or from one of the commonwealth countries then the implication that brits will never be slaves doesn't hold quite true for you and neither your descendants and i think almost everybody in the country likes it and they enjoy 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
7:24 pm
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 more than prepared to happen 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 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 the east you know it's a kingdom it's one of the best places in the world for black and brown people to
7:25 pm
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 i an indian home secretary you've got in india 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 they say it by themselves laurie and others in the post but like most of movements 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 plan to 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
7:26 pm
come on absolutely sure and this is just another element of thought 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 from so shouldn't you have a look what i did for the b.b.c. once diversity fine they 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. up next thought you know quenching shuttle follows some colorful men's fashion trends across russia back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines join us again that. backs geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. is your media
