action on the streets has got politicians pointing fingers at each other republicans are even staking their reelection efforts on a law and order stance saying that democratic governors have let the situation get out of hand chaos results when failed to officials in cities like portland minneapolis chicago and new york make a conscious decision not to support law enforcement to buy lots of bloodshed we are seeing in these and other cities but is it happening by chance it's 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
5:04 pm
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 when 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 continue to sit idly
5:05 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 shined in on their own saying that the victims were to blame because they were on
5:06 pm
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 the finger at 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 perjuring racial unrest and i don't know floyd creator and you've got you've got the republican side saying that especially the pin pointing the finger at democratic leaders and democratic city is that the leadership there is not take me
5:07 pm
appropriate action. you know law and order. there needs to be a middle some point we do need law and order we need to provide security and safety for families security for businesses especially small bedroom i feel bad for small but they were sold here by the coronavirus and those who wonder being impacted a lot on the violence in the 3rd unfortunately the real situation but both parties are using it in the political weapon. the german chancellor has rejected calls to pull out of the north stream to gas pipeline project with russia it's in the wake of the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure alexina valmy reporting from berlin has peter oliver. on surprisingly coronavirus dominated the chancellor's summer press conference but she did also have time to talk about fellow reduce the ongoing dispute between greece and turkey in the eastern mediterranean. proposals
5:08 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 it 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 who will try to forge a reaction on the european level alexei in the valleys 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 life but that they can't tell what long term effects of this. this illness will be
5:09 pm
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 1000000000 in euro or 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 ring 2 should be completed that chancellor merkel is steadfast in saying that germany's by turn the energy security should not be politicized there is
5:10 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 tensions surrounding it for mastery of foreign minister cameron believes the chancellor merkel's doing the right thing and backing the pipeline project. nobody built by a plant has to n.r. somebody a pipeline is built because there is the man it's the 2nd part of the pipeline and that was initiated in 2005 we saw this same argue man in those years apart 100 fact that allergy from north america was not yet commercial. we see
5:11 pm
a kind of replay of the arguments of 2005 nevertheless it was built and now there's a move towards and force during this situation i would say is the 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 over the 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 even though attacks carried out by white supremacists and neo nazis are more frequent crimes perpetrated by muslims get 9 times the coverage the muslim council of britain did note though that the imbalance has improved since the christchurch and el paso attacks where muslims were the victims we discussed the findings with one of the authors. what we've done is not make assumptions we have got very detailed analysis and statistics that were pulled
5:12 pm
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 terra terrorist of terrorism exclusively for muslims and it's very rare that they use it for far right we see a rise of her. crimes you know even after christ's church when muslims were the victims there 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
5:13 pm
a result of muslim terrorist attacks all you know rotheram so-called muslim grouping gangs. far right terror attacks are on the rise with muslims are often the victims of the mass shooting at the mosque in christchurch in el paso attack in texas 2 of the most prominent examples along to of course with the recent shooting at a shoe should bar in germany in which 11 people died now at the same time the number of attacks by muslims in western countries have been declining experts attribute vast to the recent deescalation of tensions in the middle east but as it stands far right extremists carry out or 3 times more terror attacks in the west than islamist groups and that means though that 60 percent more than 60 percent of terrorism incidents 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
5:14 pm
their use of the repercussions of 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 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. there's been a new twist in the scandal that saw the austrian coalition government collapse in may last year that was when a video secretly shot in 2017 was released seemingly implicating the then vice chancellor christie instructor in crop deals and transcripts now been released before conversation which suggests his words and the exposé may have been manipulated we spoke to structure himself who told us the investigation still has a lot to clarify. the jones love forced me to voice
5:15 pm
chancellor that was backstabbing and the government fell as a result against their will someone who wanted to take my. job maybe this could explain the behavior i was walked all over us laundered that was more than just a disappointment there's a lot to be clarified in this case it begs the question of who was behind this what secret service may have played a role a lot has yet to be clarified. the so-called ib thoroughfare rocked austria's political landscape last year when the vice chancellor was accused of shady dealings with a woman posing as the niece of a russian oligarch claimed it was a set up but was forced to step down regardless of the fallout brought down the governing coalition here's an excerpt of that video published by the german tabloid magazine spiegel a year ago. he's
5:16 pm
alive. he's. however clips published in the austrian newspaper $24.00 revealed the parts of the video are apparently taken out of context and struck a rejects the deals multiple times according to the newly published transcripts he says the suggested deals weren't honest he wanted to be able to sleep soundly and wouldn't engage in illegal self in which meant the journalists involved in the original exposé claim that he transcripts don't change the overall impression of what happened but again told us that he stands by what he said back then. it's interesting the journalists from these the thing and the spiegel simply concealed the points the importance of the general public and despite having more complete information they told lies anyway everything was turned upside down some crucial exerts which can only be fully understood in the context that i even in that intoxicated state in private supposedly private meeting it's an ib surveillance
5:17 pm
with decoys luring me into a trap by constantly asking leading questions even then i made it crystal clear and i'm saying it now officially that i don't give or take bribes the fact is that the into context and parts where i said it definite no to corruption was simply emitted i'd like to reiterate once more even when drunk i never sell out while some of the politicians do even when sober. here without tea from moscow on the way claims of nefarious of performance enhancement this time though named by donald trump and his election rival joe biden will put that to the test among all stories after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very
5:18 pm
critical time time to sit down and talk. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. come

back russia's olympic committee has sacked the head of the country's anti-doping agency. the committee's decision comes after an investigation exposed alleged financial violations committed by your gonna split she dies saskia taylor reports. well you will note that russian sport has. a bumpy couple of years and now another big development in the country sports world on friday it was announced that she felt the russian ante to agency over saddam as it's known has been dismissed now 56 year old europe ganis was appointed director general of that 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
5:20 pm
the order and the general director yuri ganis have to carefully considering the arguments we decided to accept the recommendation to remove mr ganis the decision was taken unanimously so what's a lead to this while it going as has been accused of overseeing serious financial fire nations not really came to light after a financial check comes down so the complete mess and the reliability of an audit initially submitted by god as himself now some are saying that he used agencies funds for english lessons for passing on taxis when he said he was a broad on 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 not 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
5:21 pm
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 allegations against so to flush and field and track athletes back in 2015 it's not clear. 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 the situation in russian sport just so we can quickly understand the role of for starters why this is such an important decision for so much of is essential a link between the well done to an agency or want to russia so it's crucial to communication twin short dialogue between home and abroad and to ensuring that russian support is represented on the international stage now i want to say in
5:22 pm
a statement recognizing excepted the decision to dismiss goddess and also at the same time reiterated the need for reseller to remain an independent body and also added that the 2 agencies are in constant communication and contact about any ballot ments will 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 i've always think we can all agree that no one what envy him but that position because clearly a difficult time for russian sport. donald trump has officially accepted the republican party's nomination to run for a 2nd term he pledged to make america safer and stronger during a speech to the wrapped up the party's convention but opponents say the event ignored the present volatile reality on the ground. well i think the convention at 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
5:23 pm
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 'd geez i would i would never know 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 made it don't ask me why i had you know i got there and it
5:24 pm
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 use 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 enhance our suppress that this is bread and circus what donald trump does best he's not 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 and 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 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 now working with the president to
5:25 pm
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 but that. donald trump many times i understand who he is what he's going to do is he's going to do some rigamarole the obvious scates everything that's 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 that 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 margaret that's what he's good at recently the president paid a compliment to election rival joe biden saying he did ok in his debate back in the
5:26 pm
spring with democratic rival than he sound is but trumping trump he couldn't resist a little dig and questioned whether biden's performance had been enhanced. if you go back and watch some of those rumors debates he was so big he wasn't incoherent. and against bernie he was. and were calling for a drug test. is not all there everybody knows it and i like the running it gets people that are weak mentally i think joe is that we can step here now sleepy joe. go to joe 3033 call you soon this is great to be here. back here at the place where. you know we try to do nothing in iraq is not
