curfew in the us. comes off the police shot a black man reportedly leaving him paralyzed. the british prime minister boris johnson calls for an investigation into the alleged poisoning of russian opposition activists that. the kremlin though says no one should jump to conclusions when the substance found in his system hasn't yet been identified. as facebook blocks a group from thailand criticizing the king we'll look at how the social media picks

and chooses its supporters. just called for am here in the russian capital and welcome to the program. now wisconsin's governor has said he's sending $500.00 national guardsmen 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 violence erupted after police shot a black man multiple times in the back. on the 3rd night of protests 2 people were shot dead and a 3rd was injured within the past few hours a 17 year old's been charged with 1st degree intentional homicide.

halls are being shut. down a whole. entire. thing. and there's things like that you can hear people coughing. it's everything if you think. they can't hear. they're making some kind of announcement in exactly . half an hour and planted on the gas mask. from the polling. link the crowd is gradually moved back to the car. if. you can see the pepper hall pass thing. that holds.

people extend. a look behind me. and what about the subway and what led to days of ongoing unrest to be aware that this is the upsetting video of what happened it shows police shooting jacob break from behind his family say the 29 year old is now power lies to from the waist down to american political commentator to rove and to or a says he's not. and by the protest. 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 and rallies 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 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 but never happens there's also anger at why it can and should but he still don't have body cameras which could shed more light on what happened despite city authorities approving way back in 2017 surprises had to be delayed and

still won't be ready for another 2 years already carol in wisconsin the inconsistent. officers don't have them in other parts of the state they not only wear them but must keep recordings for months in case an investigation is needed to american spends 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. what we had in this community just the other night this is why body cameras are so badly needed over and over we see it. because an officer tells one story the person who is in confrontation with police tells a different story witnesses tell a different story and then you have the story of those who manage it in some cases

certainly not at all but in some cases get to use their cell phones to capture any . version of what happened right because the camera video that we see from a distance is not the whole story it's a snippet the moment of it but body cameras are supposed to protect the officer and 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 issues not a budget issue it's a lack of will issue. its another day and yet another government running has taken place and better of protesters once again packed into the center of minsk as 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 bella 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 who is 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 to it 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 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 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 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. the british prime minister has joined a growing chorus of international voices demanding an investigation into the alleged poisoning of russian opposition activists alexina violence but before any progress even had the shots to begin and he's already stating as fact. novelli 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 novelli 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 spokes person saying that moscow also wants to know what

happened but the findings of the german clinic alone are 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 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 alexei navalny system as it stands at the moment when it comes to the condition of alexina filename 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 the calls for an investigation with geopolitical consultant run over office. we are in the. politics of geopolitics and therefore the wording selected by different. needs to be weighed. before the background of political intentions facts and i think we see it here line here that great britain has a certain interest of. damaging the reputation of russia and in the scoop our case 2 years ago we have never seem to hear evidence of what

was alleged in that time the poisoning of well i just see. some of certain cases of certain patterns which. fits into the overall framing which has been built concerning russia that it's cruel regime or which. its opponents or kills its opponents. still to come here not international ukase big annual classic sing along where brits usually belt out to the country's most patriotic songs not this year though the b.b.c. has a couple erik's that spark the raul sentiment codewords and colonialism were discussed some are stories of the break. small seems wrong long haul just don't call. me.

to say power. comes to council. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground. join me every day. and i'll be speaking to get a little bit small. i'm sure i'll see you then. lead.

welcome back to the program human rights groups are angry at facebook after it blocked a 1000000 strong protest in thailand that's critical of the king thought on to see mass pro-democracy rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy facebook has been pressured by thai authorities however the social media giant has had no

issues about authorities being challenged in other countries work as they have has been taking a closer look. 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 family cannot be criticised by anyone if you beg criticize the queen's dress for example or the king's haircut you face 15 years in jail 15 years this now apparently includes international criticism so on facebook for

example which just banned approved 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 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 we choose them right among their fans too in fact that is the u.s. secretary of state you know it is a long shares relationship church a set of 200 years and i know we will remain great and good friends for the next 2 centuries as well we could report mr pompei stark raving duplicity and hypocrisy after all mr pump arrows happy to cozy up to the saudi king for example it is of

dictators who regimes that mr pompei will facebook have a problem with it's where 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 prove 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 tailored to a time and a place no one rule for all so you can fight for freedom so long as you are

fighting for freedom from someone that the united states doesn't like if you are fighting for freedom from othello who's prepared to ruin your and your family's life because you wrote it mean comment about him but you can't do that see he is pump alles pow. and here we are europe's last dictator they call him. lucasian koch 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.

republican supporters in the us are crying foul after news networks dropped coverage of an antiwar speech sure in the party's ongoing convention sen rand paul took to the stage but if charles quickly switch the way 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 $50000000000.00 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 ron paul's speech entirely out c.n.n. saw rand paul and they were like hal no. rand paul talking about stopping war and

how donald trump is not initiated any new wars fox news cut it all out for an interview with john jr we had moved. human labor rights lawyer believes war is so intertwined into the existence of the united states that you called talk about peace. it did it because there is so much of a consensus in this country about the rightness of. u.s. warfare are brought to the media it is very much because he believes in lockstep with both parties in supporting american intervention abroad i think it's very much in the d.n.a. of this country and it's 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 trot is just

not acceptable in the united states it is the one saying we're saying. institution the war they are institution the military industrial complex which president eisenhower warned about the 19 fifties and he didn't even see that but as it existed. debate about words and 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 its flagship classical concert proms 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 shouldn't be ashamed of their history i think it's time we stopped cringing embarrassment about our history about occupations and about our culture and we stop these. by. nation and witness i wanted to get that off my chest the b.b.c.

says the lyrics were dropped because cobra distractions mean there won't be the usual flag waving live audience to sing the songs as they've done in previous years is some of the reaction we've been getting. prince of multicultural country there's anthems written in the. early 18th century critics of britain's imperial past so well and good and 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 be slaves doesn't hold quite true for you and neither you or the sentence no i think should go almost everybody in the country likes it 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 coach or 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 destroy it they couldn't stop us singing britain's a multicultural country it's 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 it 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 were an unequal society and a deeply racialized society hasn't 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

live it's not a racist country this narrative that there is systemic racism simply isn't true look like go on i'm a london assembly member and. i've got my 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 they're surveyed by himself laurie and others in the post but like most 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 marriage talk receive anti-racism plan to b.b.c. culture reflected changing culture 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 the show and this is just another element of thought that was something completely different i would 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. one starburst do you find that you have diversity but you've got to have tradition in that you've got a city by british culture not every other culture. and that's what's so wrong about this push from the hawks takes a closer look at the democrats and republican conventions and just a few have it's time for tea when i have a top of the hour with the latest news updates join us again the. is your media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being. direct. what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. of the shallowness. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how it will be successful very. time to sit down and

talk. if you go to the symphony orchestras warming up any musician is is tuning his or her instrument so you hear this. sounds or noise put it but it's a constant a it's disorganized and then the band the orchestra plays and you get up music so what the brain does what the maker tubules do is organize all orchestrate these one collapses. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks. population tens of. inspir forced to flee their homes and what was striking about these attacks was that the are you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing look they were active participants and

the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were murdered as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the currents which the inclusion was involved in some of those cases they killers would later be named into the now we're getting i think it went to the very very top i think it is for all the water where politicians you thought was going on and gave the go ahead. changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution opioid based drugs it's not the people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the real.
