terror list in exchange for cash. for the morning chooses the 27th of august live from artie's world to say here in moscow my name is kevin know and i've got the latest round of for you to stick around go through it. first then protesters in the american city continue to defy curfews and poor them to the streets for a 4th night after police shot a black man multiple times. i. know.

the latest right now last night was generally peaceful but it follows nights of violence from looting stores vandalizing and burning cars the city shop owners now face a grim new reality. so when you heard about it. pretty good monday afternoon we decided that it was time to start putting up the windows. some outers cost of workaholic reminder. that day so we've been closing early every. kind of schedule so that we're only open during the daytime unfortunately but because we're just so for the rest of the city closing we're staying boarded up. until it's. until there's some sort of result. but the mother of jacob blake whose shooting by police on sunday sparked the rest is now urging people to refrain from violence. if. you knew what was going on it's hard that

all the violence in the crowd. would be very high on. the 29 year old's family say the instance left him paralyzed from the waist police shot play from behind 7 times next head of maupin looks at the people who become symbols of the black lives matter movement. i can't $33.00 short words but they would go on to be a rallying cry against racial injustice and police brutality these were the words said by eric garner as he was dying in a police choke hold that was 6 years ago that history has a habit of repeating itself now more recently there was the case of george floyd that sparked protests around the country a similar situation where a black man was callously choked to death. ok thanks to. you. gave. me

good me to go. out in my home and got my 9 months of that in the. program that the freedoms are going to cover for a little. bit when you live after the killing of george floyd protest sooner wrapped it not just in the united states but across the world. i think. george floyd's face has been painted and put on display people even get baptized at the site where he was

killed politicians have now joined the movement there's no excuse for what happened to george floyd and many. justice will be served today we are standing here for justice as we bring forward the george floyd justice in policing at a lot of the grandstanding from politicians has not really translated into real concrete actions less than a month later re shar brooks was shot and killed and once again the streets were filled with protests now politicians supporting the movement have been criticized for ignoring the looting the vandalism and the gun violence associated with the demonstrations.

donald trump has called the protesters an archivist and vandals and sent a special police force of federal officers in to crush them however the result has been only making people angry or now another black man jacob blight was shot from behind by police officers into a no show wisconsin is now paralyzed in response to yet another horrendous incident violence has left the city protestors have been in the streets for months since the killing of george floyd it demanded that things change that things seem to be pretty much the same except for the fact that the country is deeply polarized as soon as something happens doesn't really matter who's at fault who did it right who dare wrong there's going to be an immediate reaction for a variety of different reasons people are out there trying to steal people are out there trying to connect rally it to put in different kinds of political ideologies that will surprise it is happening so quickly because it's pretty much and stout to

be this way a nanny state unfortunately at this particular point in time abiola in protests they happen all for political purposes and else. from money is that really because blackall as a matter that's not even really the case if that was the case and what particular to those. longer. the u.k. government's flip flopped on coronavirus guidelines for secondary schools just days now before lessons start now face masks will have to be worn in school corridors across england's lockdown areas it's all part of wider government disarray over what to do next with educational facilities and covert artie's kate partridge picks up the story. just days before england secondly classrooms were set to reopen boris johnson made yet another u. turn previously the official advice was that mosques were not necessary but from september the 1st moscow now be mandatory for peoples and adults in school communal areas and corridors in regions subject to tighter coronavirus restrictions the u.k.

government should be under pressure to review surprised after scotland cup at their kids' faces of the world health organization updated its guidance the issue of whether or not to wear in some context you know will look at the the changing medical evidence as we as we go on if we need to change the advice and of course we will yet before wednesday's announcement the prime minister didn't believe children should cover up at school and followed his oh no you must get 5 swab visiting them . in school it's safe it's exciting it's the place to. be your turn leaves open to question johnson's conviction that schools are safe while the department for education is leaving other schools to decide whether

people's and staff should moscow and this is creating more confusion amongst the public looking for certainty about safety parents and schools need of clarity and leadership but instead the government have just passed the buck back to them face coverings should be compulsory in coming areas and schools instead of this have baked u. turn the government should have given clear guidance and a plan to deliver it critics claim that since the start of the pandemic the government hasn't developed a real guide for safety reopening schools apart from numerous reassurances that they're safe the national education union accuses the government of letting down pupils teachers and parents by failing to have a plan b. if. infections rise plan b. for schools it means thinking if the crease them up can we have more teaches and more teaching spaces so that class sizes can be smaller in schools the education secretary disagrees and says ministers are giving their all for the big day back we are doing everything we can to help schools get ready not least with our back to

not government so even if the government didn't have this huge. and used g.g. would be still sane man as teachers in schools should be allowed to have fees must always has if they so wish and obviously would have no problems when students also know where vice is. british state health workers have marched on the seat of government demanding more pay outside white told in central london they noted they've put their lives on the line they said throughout the covert crisis and of course it's still far from over government predicting that we're going to have a natural way of knowing thing if you think that we're going to go back on the battlefield about i'm sorry but it's not really worth risking our lives to go and chair a patient when we're actually in ourselves or too many of our colleagues at the

white it's specially that black nurses. you cannot expect to send us back on our field without action unfortunately a lot of us will not work that period last month the government announced a 3 point one percent pay rise from those $900000.00 public sector stuff but and the chance workers are demanding a 15 percent hike even worse many not even on the pay rise list including and it shows porters cleaners and nurses on the front line of the fight against covert it comes as the u.k. is not witnessing the falls in corona virus cases that experts had hoped for to more than $328000.00 cases have now been confirmed nurse and we belive again point authorities are simply not providing support for such an enormous toll. oh boy so not been heard a con see anything that any of the unions are doing to support was absolutely nothing i'm saying that unions and average evidence and research and hype and all

souls but none of them attack you male action to simple us ness is from so he's proud that we would watch him in a war zone because it was just completely unusual it was nothing that we could have prepared or we're paying out jews to our unions but we're not seeing any protection we're not seeing any representation so no we are not thinking protected and our unions they are not protecting us thanks once not internationalists one it was appreciated here what we got coming out well amongst the stories of this again no end in sight still for those anti-government rallies in the heart of the butler russian capital a correspondence that were across it after the break. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. if you go to the symphony in august just warming up any musician is is tuning his or her instrument so you hear this year all these sounds are noise but it but it's it's a constant a it's disorganized and then the band the orchestra plays and you get music so what

the brain does and what the maker juveniles do is is organized or orchestrate these one collapses. morning with the u.s. presidential election fast approaching the incumbent administration's busy than trying to score political points to persuade swing votes is billed as one of the jewels in president trump's foreign policy crown at the moment is the normalization of toddies between the united arab emirates and israel and now secretary of state might pompeo than is on a tour of the arab world and choose to try to replicate that success elsewhere as well as to squeeze a buck on the one of the most deprived nations on earth has done a quarter explains. a stork deal was struck earlier this month between the united arab emirates and israel it was brokered by washington and quickly became a media sensation that news of a historic middle east peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates for

donald trump it's a big foreign policy achievement this is a big big day for the middle east israel and united arab emirates have agreed to a historic deal to normalize diplomatic relations with confidence in astride secretary of state mike pompei i was set off on a p.r. tour around the arab world one of his 1st stops was sudan though and its leaders seemed not very willing to normalize relations with israel the interim government has no mandate to normalize relations with israel to make matters more difficult for pompei all sudan's foreign ministry spokesperson was just fired last week for suggesting the country was getting ready to sign an agreement with israel so pump a 0 came up with a foolproof plan to win sudan over also dan's government needs to do is make a very small donation of $330000000.00 to the victims of al qaeda and washington will wipe it from the state sponsors of terror list you could probably imagine that

idea didn't go down very well with the country's impoverished citizens. of bordering is a cowardly that we pray you find in return for the removal of saddam from american terrorism list. to be honest we the sudanese people are the party most affected by the decisions and acts of the previous regime paying the compensation could bring us many economic benefits and remove sudan from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism. frankly speaking this american proposal is a kind of blackmail and it is a pity no doubts will reach a safety it will have to pay the price for the actions of the previous regime as is often the case there was something more behind the deal that just goodwill highly sought after american after 35 fighter jets the u.a.e. has been trying to. their hands on them for years and apparently now they can't though they have the money and they thought they would like to order quite a few f. $35.00 since the greatest fighter jet in the world as you know by former stealth

but it seems washington got a bit carried away trying to seal the deal with dobby so much so it neglected the interests of its best friend in the region we oppose the sale of even one screw one plane of the stealth fighters to any country in the middle east if we have peace with them or not and so this supposedly historic deal could be on its way to the dustbin the f. 35 dramas reportedly led the u.a.e. to cancel its upcoming meeting with israel saudi arabia has publicly rejected any normalization of relations with tel of eve and of course palestine decried what it considered to be a betrayal by the u.a.e. . posed nude the ship rejects will be united to. dawn and considers to be true of jerusalem the mosque and the post codes and weekly recognition of jerusalem as the capital of his rule pump alles got one last chance to make his p.r. campaign worthwhile bahrain who knows how that'll play out but if it's anything like his past attempts it might not go so well. ramsey proves editor of the

palestinian chronicle dot com site and he told us washington's on toasting isn't going to go down one of all with the sudanese people. u.s. is being aggressive in pushing for more money as asian between the sudan bihari and oman the so does the ratties. and others at this particular there it because president trump is desperate for any kind of leverage that he could use during the election season especially that numbers are changing behind biden in the polls and so forth so he wants to go and say this and i have and she agreed to this breakthrough in one of the world's most companies. heated and can dilute it struggles and that is the middle east this is the great this bridge through since come david in 1999 and i have done it so the offer to remove sudan

exchange for a massive amount of money i think was made to send 2 messages number one we are willing to make a deal you know in exchange for normalization we will remove you from the list the 2nd message i think compel you was trying to send is that we want all the keys and that if you do not play ball basically this is what you have to do you have we will ask you that it will make these impossible demands from you and you really you are tough you have no other option but to follow the lead of the united arab emirates and normalize with this where we simply it will not be so simple so that the society will not accept the normalization with israel living down day especially sudan they historically they've had very strong ties with the palestinian struggle and they are in many ways that one of the clues this arab couldn't she took palestinian aspirations and in fact the prime minister of the

country said few days ago he said can you please dealing both issues do not meet the only option for sudan it's either we remain on the list or we normalize with israel because it's not within our right as a transitional government to do so we have to wait until the elections in 2022 and then the people themselves can and that's a government that will make that decision for them. another day another anti government rally to report in by the rose protesters packed into the center of minsk over what they claim was a rigged presidential election this month has a ghost town of 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 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 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 protests of 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 do. tales 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 docks a young girl like 21 years she's for 21 years old 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 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 behave 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. republicans in the us are crying foul after news networks dropped coverage of a major antiwar speech the party's national convention senator rand paul took the stage with channels turned off. 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. so 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. you in and labor rights lawyer don coldly believe that war is so deeply ingrained in the existence of the u.s. you can't even talk about peace on the news networks it did it because there is so much of a consensus in this country about the rightness of of us warfare or brought to the media it is very much. in lockstep with both parties and supporting american intervention abroad i think it's very much in the

d.n.a. of this country and it's a very hard thing to fight against the media might embrace other social justice issues. but the idea of speaking out against u.s. war evil and prosecuted by unpopular president like trump is just not acceptable in the united states it is the one sank 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. if you want to see more of the stories we're talking about this thursday and get. insight into more of the back story will check in our website ready for social media talk about a lot today meantime from on th q. for now here in moscow kevin own reporting franken for watching the program for me

welcome to alex salmon who will really examine the geopolitical consequences of the global planting for most people the spread of corn of ideas has been a matter of avoiding the contagion and keeping your job however on the public this week davies caused me a sensation this month by painting a political article in rolling stone which has gone viral he forecast that there was also a covert $1000.00 could be to foreshadow an equal making moment the end of the make you want when i say that america is this is the end of an american era look i mean i don't wish that will be the styles are because i say this to the american century and the best parts of that but remember that all employers or boards. all this coming up in the program but 1st alex if your teeth mess this you know. i was going to spend a bit longer on your messages this week because last week's show featuring professor documents dumbly the intensive care lectures that it's adult to christmas the
