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 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 it they hate to begin with the question for us this concern is when are we going to make republicans do their jobs when do we continued sit idly
1:05 pm
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 murdered stating the 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
1:06 pm
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 isn't all 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 to things or the situation on the streets is only getting worse across the country people are bracing for turbulent times ahead i think that the political game going on on the side and both sides you've got the democratic side trying to to blame the president for curing 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 things up is that the leadership there is
1:07 pm
not take me appropriate action. no law and order and so there needs to be a middle someplace we do need law and order we need to provide security and to see you for family security for our businesses especially small but i feel bad for small but they were sold here by the coronavirus and those who are wondering being impacted a lot on this violence in the unfortunately the real situation but both parties are using it and the political weapon. german chancellor has rejected calls to pull out of the north korean to gas pipeline project with russia to in the wake of the alleged poisoning of key russian opposition figure alexina valmy reporting next from berlin here's peter oliver. unsurprisingly coronavirus dominated the chancellor's some a press conference but she did also have time to talk about bello reduce the ongoing dispute between greece and turkey in the eastern mediterranean. proposals
1:08 pm
for quotas on women in senior positions in her christian democratic union party if you're wondering where chancellor merkel stands on that she's very much in favor there was time for a question on alexei no violently as well the russian opposition figure remains in a hospital here in berkeley and following an alleged poisoning i'm going to merkel said germany was not in a position in order to clarify what had happened to alexei in the valley as it stood and would be waiting for a joint statement from the european union it's we're trying to clarify things in the new through our own abilities which are in fact limited when we have more clarity like in the case of mr scrooge pong we will try to forge a reaction on the european level alexei in the valley has been here in berlin since last saturday he remains in an induced coma doctors at the shot at a hospital where he's being treated say that there remains no acute danger to his
1:09 pm
life but that they can't tell what long term effects of this. this illness will be on the opposition figure now his poisoning has prompted some to call on germany to ditch the north stream 2 gas pipeline project 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. the project which would take russian gas directly from russia into germany is a multi-billion it euro operation the german chancellor says it's going ahead as it stands. i think that we should be coupled these issues and in our opinion north trying to should be completed the chancellor merkel is steadfast in saying that germany's by turn the use energy security should not be politicized there is
1:10 pm
some interest from the united states and this is you would imagine the u.s. alternately wants to sell europe its own liquefied natural gas and not seen senators from the united states put forward sanctions against companies involved in building the gas line project the thing is ultimately they want to sell their own liquefied natural gas which is more expensive and that doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon this pipeline is going ahead despite the political tension surrounding it we got reaction last hour from form austrian foreign minister cameron conies all who believe the chancellor merkel's doing the right thing and backing the pipeline project. nobody built pipeline chose to n.r. somebody pipelines built because there is the man it's the 2nd car into the pipeline and that was initiated in 2000 try we saw this same argue man in those years apart and back to allergy from north america was not yet commercial.
1:11 pm
we see a kind of replay of the arguments of 2005 nevertheless it was built and now there's a root cause and cause brain situation i would see is that a bit more different from it was 2 years ago and i don't see how the all speaking notes which we have been mirroring from u.s. officials were going to last years are still well it into this environment of very low gas prices. a new report. accuses the british media of disproportionately focusing on terror attacks carried out by muslims in the attacks carried out by white supremacists and near nazis are more frequent crimes perpetrated by muslims get 9 times the coverage the muslim council of britain did know though that the imbalance has improved since the christ church and our passover attacks where muslims were the victims we discuss the findings with one of
1:12 pm
the authors. what we've done is not make assumptions we have got very detailed analysis and statistics that withdrawn 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 is far more of a. willingness on the part of the media to use the term terra 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 shan't that the media tried to find an angle which brought it
1:13 pm
back to trying to blame the muslims so you know these attacks not as a result of muslim terrorist attacks all you know rotheram so-called muslim group in gangs of far right terror attacks are on the rise with muslims often the victims the mass shooting at the mosque in christchurch in el paso attack in texas has 2 prominent examples along with the recent shooting as well in the she should in germany which 11 people were killed at the same time the number of attacks by muslims in western countries have been falling and experts attribute that to the recent deescalation. tensions in the middle east as it stands far right extremists carry out almost 3 times more terror attacks in the west than islam is a group or more than 60 percent of terrorism incidents are not attributed to any group at all that were the disproportionate reporting of them does have consequences. organizations should have clear definitions of what terrorism
1:14 pm
is make them transparent and then be consistent in their use of it the repercussions of this of 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 it's amplified 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. but his olympic committee has sank the head of the country's anti-doping agency rosado come the committee's decision comes after an investigation exposed alleged financial violations committed by your ignorance in which he denies. a report. well we all know that russian sport has had a bumpy couple of years and now another big development in the country sports world on friday it was announced that she fought the russian anti to agency over saga as
1:15 pm
it's known has been dismissed now 56 year old you're in dallas was appointed to write to general of the body back in august 27000 so he really hasn't been that long in the post but that said the decision didn't entirely come out of the blue given that earlier this month a recommendation for his dismissal was put forward by was solid to support today we once again look to the arguments made by the supervisory board hoods the report of the order and the general director yuri ganis have to carefully considering the arguments we decided to accept the recommendation to remove mr gammas the decision was taken unanimously so what's a lead to this while gomez has been accused of overseeing serious financial fire nations not really came to light after a financial check comes down so the compete us and the reliability of an audit initially submitted by god as himself now some are saying that he used to agencies funds for english lessons for passing on taxis when he said he was a broad on
1:16 pm
a business trip he was actually on holiday but that really all added up because it suggested that he appropriate around $110000000.00 rubles up to question of around $1500000.00 so that's the key issue here are the rumors of abuse of you all of power and indeed of conflict of interest now for his part going to says that this was the wrong decision and he continues to deny any allegations saying there are an attempt not just to discredit him positively but also to undermine the efforts of. building and rebuilding rather that international trust in the wake of the mass jumping on occasions against so field and track athletes back into. when she 15 it's not clear to me on what grounds it's being recommended that i be fired or resigned as strongly denies the conclusions of the audit if the russian olympic and paralympic committees decide to fire me it will change our relations and aggravate
1:17 pm
the situation in russian sport just so we can quickly understand the role of her side and why this is such an important decision for so much business actually a link between the world anti-doping agency or wired and russia so it's crucial to communication twin shortened dialogue between home and abroad and to ensuring that russian support is represented on the international stage now i want to say in a statement recognize an accepted the decision to dismiss goddess and also at the same time reiterated the need for assad to remain an independent body and also added that the 2 agencies are in constant communication and contact about any ballot meant what have to wait and see who comes to fill ghana says shoes that's a decision that will likely be made within the next 6 months or so either way they think we can all agree that no one what envy him for that position because clearly a difficult time for russian support. back stateside that the donald trump has
1:18 pm
officially accepted the republican party's nomination to run for a 2nd term he pledged to make america safer and stronger during a speech that wound up the party's convention but opponents say the event ignore the present 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

1:20 pm
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 indoors. joe biden 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 not 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 does not trump spot but 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 obvious skates everything that's gone on in the last 6 months and then he'll just go into the you know
