9:02 am
was the 1st republican president who would and i have done more in 3 years for the black community then joe biden has done in 47 years the way we do when i'm reelected the best is yet to come the way it is trying wraps up the republican national convention with his post on the african-american community furious black lives massive protests did pull on to the streets of connived to sunday shooting of a black man would a 40 might find the following footage to stir thing was the the the how. i know.
9:03 am
how. i. kind of mocking up snout can i show has become a crucial polling in the u.s. election czeska. stars bernie guns firing people looting images that have become all too familiar in the united states as of late anarchy in action on the streets has got politicians pointing fingers at each other republicans are even staking their reelection efforts on a tough law and order stance saying that democratic governors have let the situation get out of hand results when failed to fish rules in cities like portwood minneapolis chicago and new york make a conscious decision not to support law enforcement to violence and bloodshed we are seeing in these and the city you see it isn't happening by chance it's
9:04 am
a direct result of refusing to allow law enforcement to protect our communities leftist try to turn the meant of elephants they want to cancel them. but i'm here to tell you these heroes can't be canceled from seattle and portland to washington and new york democrat run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs those statements from the south dakota governor did not make it past leftist media which called for a reality check we will interject and we feel like there's something that's important and deliberate and very wrong that should be corrected just so that we feel responsible about our broadcast other news outlets got much the same for suggesting local authorities are responsible for the violence how shocked are we that 17 year olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else
9:05 am
would this goes beyond racism tucker carlson is advocating and defending murder how shocked are we that tucker carlson is praising a murderer as some kind of vigilante hero democrats are taking those blame claims and throwing them right back in the face of conservatives saying that they're the ones that ferment that they hate to begin with the question for us this concern is when are we going to make republicans do their jobs or do we continued sit idly by and watch the sede burn to the ground. our nation is hurting we need leadership that will heal our wounds not continue to pour salt on them peaceful protest against police violence should not be met with more violence and yet that's exactly what the president called for after the death of george floyd and here at home as george full oid briana taylor and a never ending list of innocent people of color continue to be martyred stating the
9:06 am
simple fact that a black life matters is still met with derision from the nation's highest office as media and politicians blame each other some us citizens are taking up arms on their own in juneau shit wisconsin a teenager said to worship the police went to a protest and opened fire on the crown 2 people were killed the local police then shined in on their own saying that the victims were to blame because they were on the streets in violation of curfew laws this is not a police action this is not the action i believe of those who set out to do protests it is involved it is the persons who are involved after the legal time involved in illegal activity that brought violence to this community this teenager is not the only one right wing militia groups and black self-defense organizations have sprung up across the country while politicians point the finger the situation on the streets is only getting worse across the country people are bracing for
9:07 am
turbulent times ahead but i think there's a political gain going on on the side and both sides you've got the democratic side trying to to blame the president for during racial unrest and i don't know flowing through that and you've got you've got the republican side saying that it's actually the pin pointed the finger at democratic leaders and democratic city is that the leadership there is not take me appropriate action. no law and order. needs to be a middle some point we do need law and order we need to provide security and safety for family security for our businesses especially small but i feel bad for small business who were sold here by the coronavirus and those who are wondering being impacted a lot on this by only the unfortunately the real situation but both parties are using it in the political weapon. now the german chancellor has rejected calls in
9:08 am
the wake of the election the value case to ditch the massive north into gas project from russia and glimmer that the gas pipeline to europe must go ahead despite unproven mainstream media planes that the kremlin poisoned the prominent opposition activists say let's get more on this now and go to our correspondent is there peter oliver hello again peter what else then did angela merkel said hello. and surprisingly coronavirus dominated her summer press conference but there was plenty of time for us to also talk about bella reuss about the ongoing dispute in the eastern mediterranean between greece and turkey and about quotas for women in prominent roles within the christian democratic union party if you're wondering where the chancellor stands on that she's very much in favor there was a question on the elex in the valley as well the russian opposition figure remains in hospital here in berlin that allegations that he was poisoned.
9:09 am
merkel well said. we're looking for a. the ability to clarify looking for a joint statement i beg your pardon to start that all over again angle of merkel saying that germany was in a difficult position when it came to clarifying what had happened to the opposition figure out that she would be looking to the european union for a joint statement on the election in the valley case. it's we're trying to clarify things in the valley through our own abilities which are in fact limited when we have more clarity like in the case of mr scrooge powell who will try to forge a reaction on the european level. alexina valmy remains in an induced coma in hospital in berlin doctors have released a statement saying there is no and no acute danger to his life but they can't rule out what long term affects this he may have from being in this induced coma that
9:10 am
has being calls from media here in germany for the german government to pull out of to drop the huge north stream to project altogether but i'm increasingly convinced the germany should pull out of the nord stream to project russia's president putin is turning increasingly into a dictator who persecutes opponents including by means of poisoning attempts the poisoning attack on the russian opposition leader must lead to targeted reaction the baltic sea nordstrom to should not go into operation when it comes to north stream 2 which would see russian gas pipe directly from russia into germany the german chancellor remains steadfast in her opinion. i think that we should be coupled these issues and in our opinion north trying to should be completed. well the german chancellor says that germany's century the
9:11 am
use energy security should not be politicized in this way the united states has long called for the north stream to project to be cancelled to be called off to be blocked at every opportunity there's even talk of sanctions that are on the bill of the senate at the floor of the senate at the moment a bill that would target companies involved in north stream the real reason it seems behind that is of course the u.s. wants to sell its own liquefied natural gas to the european union to germany and wants to squeeze russia out of that market. ok thanks people over there reporting from. now a year to the day since 19 year old harry dunn was killed in the u.k. attorney general says the american woman accused of running him over and then fleeing abroad could face a virtual trial he died when his motorbike was hit by a car reportedly being driven on the wrong side of the road allegedly behind the wheel was and this the wife of a u.s.
9:12 am
diplomat after being charged with causing death by dangerous driving she fled the u.k. claimed diplomatic immunity done family then sought a private prosecution against britain's foreign secretary after it was revealed u.k. officials let her leave the country the victim's parents say that they won't give up in their bid for justice and they spoke to our idea it was dashed. the hardest thing for me is having no control over when you're going to cry and of the camilla big guy caught off guard or don't show emotions are easy but since i was going it can cite the most smallest thing i know i'll just start crying or car stop myself as much film. and the frustration i feel because our current congress wrote anything else like yesterday since i say if it's terrorists think. the same lane. know when it's going to.
9:13 am
feel like. harry's pammy are fighting to bring securitas back to the u.k. to face justice 6 months after his death she was charged with death by dangerous driving but britain's extradition request was rejected by the u.s. it's been a tough tough battle for this family we've had to not just climb mountains but move mountains because having now closed the loophole the legal loophole that allowed her to escape she was the last person to escape it is absolutely clear now that the united states government does not have either a legal or moral leg to stand on the authorities and the system completely let her respond they down this family lost their son and they were treated like dirt on the bottom of their shoe that legal loophole allowed secure less to claim diplomatic immunity as the wife of a u.s. staff member but after discussions between the u.s.
9:14 am
and u.k. the family at the base cannot be prosecuted going forward thankfully with the harrison amendment in the trace a few weeks back absolutely every shows us the family that know what the family would have to fight it's the way we have nobody else now till 2 minutes the crying such as once phyllis has done and walk free is a proud thing to know that i was not. it is part of the new rule in history books thankfully that cherry's some of our legacy now but despite that there are of hope it doesn't help charlotte and tim get justice for harry himself in the promise i made him when we lost him that night just burns the desire in the pit of your stomach to complete that promise you tell your poorly you look at him to get him justice when he's layin there no life left in him literally every bone in its body. every organ damage to the point we couldn't even do
9:15 am
organ donation and. someone has to be held responsible for that nobody in this world should be able to take a life i will call way a year on from harry's death the family are still unable to come to terms with their loss. reserve. are true to me no. special special. little the lust for life he enjoyed life enjoyed meeting people he was larger than life as they say was the word. couldn't be more proud of a so slow here before last at primary school. over 10. and this is neutral. in the speech it
9:16 am
was. more a inside out and. still not quite that it would teach him. and on the wall. and you know that. and it can't. be watching out international news reporters accuse the u.k. media of disproportionately focusing on terror attacks carried out by muslims even though attacks carried out by white supremacists in the n.r.c. is a more frequent those perpetrated by muslims get 9 times the coverage the muslim council of britain did note however that the imbalance has improved since the christchurch now passive attacks where muslims were the victims we discussed the report with one of its authors. what we've done is not make assumptions we have got very detailed
9:17 am
analysis and statistics that we're prone from monitoring the media on a daily basis and looking at how they report on it and we've compared very similar attacks committed by so-called muslim perpetrators and those by the far right and white supremacists and found that there's been a huge inconsistency and difference in the way those attacks are are covered there's far more of a. willingness on the part of the media to use the term terror terrorist or terrorism exclusively for muslims and it's very rare that they use it for far right we see a rise of hate crimes you know even after christ's church when muslims were the victims the the rates of hate crimes increased in britain and even in the coverage of christchurch we found that the media tried to find an angle which brought it back to trying to blame the muslims so you know these attacks not as
9:18 am
a result of muslim terrorist attacks all you know rotheram so-called muslim grouping gangs. farai terror attacks are on the rise of muslims often the victims of the mass shooting at a mosque in christchurch and also the el paso attack in texas 2 obvious examples there along with the recent shooting at a shishi bar in germany in which 11 people died now at the same time the number of attacks by muslims in western countries are falling and experts to attribute that to the recent the escalation of tensions in the middle east so as it stands far right extremist to carry out almost 3 times more terror attacks in the west than is the misc group saw though more than 60 percent of terrorism instance are not attributed to any group at all however the disproportionate reporting of them does have consequences organizations should have clear definitions of what terrorism is make them transparent and then be consistent in their use of the repercussions of
9:19 am
this that not only in terms of hate crimes that increase against muslims but it's the impact this has on social media so when a mainstream organization makes this point. 58 you know and spread to millions and millions of people because the far right uses this kind of coverage to amplify their troops and their anti muslim rhetoric and so it's very dangerous watching our international back with more news just after this break. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics for. i'm sure i'll see you then.
9:20 am
hello again you're watching international donald trump has officially accepted the
9:21 am
republican party's nomination to run for a 2nd term he pledged to make america safe it's a stronger during a speech that wound up the party's convention but opponents say the event actually filled the president volatile reality on the ground. well i think the convention to this point has been spectacular especially when you put it up against the fiasco that was the democratic convention last week i think you know i i feel for both the producers of both parties to have a virtual convention is tough to do you don't get the energy from the from the audience you don't get the applause lines you don't get the standing ovation so it's tough but i think the speakers this week have been spectacular from herschel walker on the very 1st night to the speakers last night the people that that know president trump and were able to speak directly to the american people about who he is as an individual i think that was very powerful you know if i've been on the moon for the last 2 years i just dropped in today geez i would i would never know
9:22 am
that we have 11000000 people unemployed we have about 180000 people who died of this virus with 1100 a day i would not know it all that gee not only were unemployed but we have about 8000000 households face a vision or foreclosure in the next 60 days of i went to a church of scientology maybe don't ask me why i had you know i got there it was l. ron hubbard and there was apostles and you know i got to go to the moon there was an alternative reality at the same time the rodney king riots were going on in l.a. and that was perfect to me well the country is essentially facing these existential threats you hear nothing about they used the word coded 6 times in the last 2 days for all the speakers we heard nothing about 10000000 unemployed we heard nothing about these and we heard nothing about what he has done to and have set our suppress that this is bread and circus would donald trump does best he's not
9:23 am
a president he's a game show reality show host and he's fabulous at it honestly i watched most of the democrat debate and i didn't hear one person talk about the riots in democrat cities the democrat states around the country i didn't hear the fact that these democrat mayors every one of them seattle portland chicago they've all endorsed. so if you want to talk about the devastation that's happening in america look at the democrats look at what they are doing to america by encouraging this and supporting these riots and not bringing down now working with the president to bring in national guard when the president actually wanted to help them and bring put down these riots they said no we'll take care of it ourselves and then the city councils in those democrat cities voted to defund the presidents and allow the rioters to continue to have a free wheeling. right to just go and destroy their towns that they live in that's not trump spot so i've interviewed donald trump many times i understand who he is what he's going to do is he's going to do some rigamarole that. everything that's
9:24 am
gone on in the last 6 months and then he'll just go into the you know tantrum that works that it would all be better if i could just have more of this all would be better if i have more of this it's all the great if what we would just get rid of all these left wingers and let's forget about everything that's gone on in my career that's what he's good at. now recently donald trump did pay a rare compliment the election saying that he did a k. in his debate with democratic party candidate bernie sanders in the spring but the price was spiced with a failed to sell demanding that biden takes a drugs test to see whether he os officially improved his performance. to. do better than what some of those rumors of the day he was so big he wasn't even coherent. then
9:25 am
