i say very modestly that i have done more for the african american community than any president since abraham lincoln. was black lies massive protests to go for the city of can i show we look at how politicians are using the rest in this year's presidential election. chancellor merkel says russia's north stream to gas pipeline to germany must go ahead despite tensions over the alleged poisoning of prominent opposition figure alexina valmy. and a survey of british media finds muslims get disproportionate coverage in terrorism stories despite other groups being far more likely to commit attacks.

hello it's 1 in the morning here in moscow i'm calling for a welcome to this i was world news from the international 1st protestors close to the white house attempted to shout down donald trump during his speech on the final night of the republican party convention with horns and chanting loudly hundreds tried to disrupt the event and number one carry in class lives not so bad as that didn't stop the president from claiming he's done more for black people than almost all of his predecessors. i say very modestly that i have done more for the african-american community than any president since abraham lincoln our 1st republican president. and i have done more in 3 years for the black community then joe biden has done in 47 years. when i'm reelected the best is yet to come. from speech came this furious black lives matter

protesters once again turned out in kind i'm sure in the wake of sunday's police shooting of a black man be aware we are about to show you the disturbing video of that incident as filmed by a possible. was. when i terms of time and kind of open looks at how can i she's become a crucial pawn in the election race. cars burning 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 chaos results when failed to fish rules in cities like portland minneapolis chicago and new york make a conscious decision not to support law enforcement to violence and 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 being overrun by violent mobs those statements from the south dakota governor did not make it past left. 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 or do we continue to sit idly

by and watch this aid 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 the streets in violation of curfew laws but 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 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 perjuring racial unrest and i don't know floyd group that 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 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 safety for family security for businesses especially small businesses i feel so bad for small but they were so hit by the coronavirus and those are the ones that are being impacted a lot on the violence in the unfortunately the real situation but both parties are using it and the political weapon. the german chancellor has rejected calls to pull out of the no treaty to gas pipeline project with russia it's in the wake of the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figure in reporting. unsurprisingly 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 and proposals 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 angle of merkel said germany was not in a position in order to clarify what had happened to alexei in the valley as it stood and we'll be waiting for a joint statement from the european union gets 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 scruple who 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

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 to 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 it euro or poor asian the german chancellor says it's going ahead as it stands. i think that we should be coupled these issues and in no opinion north rim to should be completed the chancellor merkel is steadfast in

saying that germany's by turning the use energy security should not be politicized there is 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 form austrian foreign minister karen can i saw believe the chancellor merkel doing the right thing in 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 mance in those years

apart 100 fact at alland from north america was not yet commercial. we see 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. thanks to the report accuses the british media of disproportionately focusing on terror attacks carried out by muslims even though attacks carried out by white supremacists and their nazis are more frequent crimes perpetrated by muslims get 9 times the coverage the muslim council of britain did note however the imbalance has improved since the christchurch now part of attacks where muslims were the victims we discuss the findings with one of the authors. what we've done

is not make assumptions we have got very detailed analysis and statistics that we're pulling 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. that fall far right we see a rise of hate 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 a result of muslim terrorist attacks all you know rotheram so-called muslim grouping gangs. the far right terror attacks are on the rise with muslims often the victims the mass shooting at the mosque in christchurch in the passover attack in texas are 2 prominent examples we've mentioned along too of course with the recent shooting at a shisha in germany in which 11 people died at the same time the number of attacks by muslims in western countries have been falling and experts attribute that to the recent deescalation of tensions in the middle east and as it stands far right extremists carry out almost 3 times more terror attacks in the west than islamist groups or though 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 their use of then 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 the troops and the anti muslim rhetoric and so it's very dangerous. russia's olympic committee has the head of the country's anti doping agency rosado the committee's decision comes after an investigation exposed alleged financial violations committed by euro gunness which he denies such detail reports. what we all know that russian sport has had a bumpy couple of years and now another big development in the country sports while on friday it was announced that the chief of the russian and agency it was started out as it's known has been dismissed now 56 year old europe gallus was appointed

director general of that body back in august 27th teams and 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 pope forward by was solid just bought 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 ganis the decision was taken unanimously so what's a lead to this while gomez has been accused of overseeing serious financial fire they said it's not really came to light after a financial check comes down so the completeness and the reliability often want to 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

a business trip he was actually on holiday but that really all added up because it suggested that he appropriate around 110000000 rubles that's a question of around $1500000.00 so that's the key issue here that there are the rumors of abuse of a lot of power and indeed of conflict of interest now for his part going to says that this was p. 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 certain the russian field and track athletes back in 2015 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

the situation in russian sport just so we can quickly understand the role of facade and why this is such an important decision for so much business actually a link between the world and to take an agency or watch a russian so it's crucial. the communication twin short dialogue between home and abroad has come to ensuring that russians for as represented on the international stage now want to stay in a statement and recognize an accepted the decision to dismiss a goddess and also at the same time to reiterate it the need for assad to to remain an independent body it also adds that the 2 agencies are in constant communication and contact about any ballot meant we'll have to wait and see who comes to fill gonna says shoes that's a decision that will likely be made within the next 6 months so i do a think we can all agree that no one what envy him that position because clearly a difficult time for russian sports. on the way a rather different claim swirling about nefarious performance in homes from this

time though and by donald trump and his election rival joe biden who put it to the test after the break. there is no such thing as money and there is no inflation and there is no deflation and the only thing there is to think about are interest rates and interest rate a part of the value the money is a poor girlishly golden bear you can keep interest rates near 0 so that if you are a white guy like jacob on wall street your cost of borrowing is 0 if you're a black guy living in the ghetto your cost of borrowing is 2000 percent it's called interest rate apartheid and it's practiced right here in america and all over the world the ghetto of high interest rates if you don't mark borrowing money to 0 percent of the strength you live in in the ghetto and that's in fact. join me

every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business. 50. from from. welcome back donald trump's 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 wrapped up the party's convention but his opponents say the event ignored the present 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 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 claws 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 that we have 11000000 people unemployed we have about 180000 people who died of this virus with 1100 a day i would not know at all that he not only were unemployed but we have about 8000000 households that 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 be 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 bred in sir. this would 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 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 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 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 interviewed 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 skates 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 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. the fans longest serving prime ministers and

i have seen stepping down. in the job since 2012 and blames health issues for his decision he expressed regret at failing to achieve a peace deal with russia the 2 states never signed an agreement to to continue territorial disputes and i have read by them just dating back to the 2nd world war the mother them. flash flooding caused by heavy rain has killed at least 150 people in the northern africa city of tellico children are said to be among the victims many buildings in the city collapsed as well as a tool through the streets officials say the number of deaths is low. actually the rise with people still trapped under rubble. a small but determined crowd to protest this is kept up the pressure on the government to battle roosts nearly 3 weeks after the disputed election demonstrators once again marched through the center of minsk chanting slogans some waving flags they've done much the same almost every day since president lukashenko

claimed victory in the votes which the opposition claims. recently president trump paid a rare compliment to his election rival joe biden saying he did ok in his debate back in the spring with his democratic rival bernie sanders but trumping trump couldn't resist a little dig and question whether biden's performance at bain and haunts. you go back and watch some of those rumors today that he was so big he wasn't incoherent. and against bernie he was. calling for a drug test. not all of the everybody knows i like the running it gets people that are weak mentally i think joe is the weakest up here. sleepy joe. joe

3033 you see this is great to be here. back you know it's nice for. you know we try to do not in iraq is not working is turn our into trying i mean in iran excuse me for driving you crazy. i am very willing to american public judge my physical and mental so my physical as well as my mental field fitness. why the hell would i take a test. coming and that's like saying you before you on this program you take a test where you're taking cocaine or not what you think of. i only now go and take a look at the orange is the 4 inches of the. investigation he performed 1870000 tests a day so that's 1000000 870000 1000000 tests. person

. woman and camera. t.v. . ok that's it from me a fully coherent daniel holkins is here over the next few hours to keep you on top of the big stories we're across here at all it's a very king's up next though for now for me in the moscow news team have a great weekend. seem wrong. to me but yet to say power does they become educated and indeed from an equals betrayal.

when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. if you go to the symphony orchestra's warming up and each musician is his tuning his or her instrument so you hear this year all these sounds and noise put it but it's it's a constant it's disorganized and then the the bee and the orchestra plays and you get the music so with the brain doesn't with the maker tubules you this is organized or orchestrated one collapses. there is no such thing as a fee at money and there is no inflation and there is not deflation and the only thing there is to think about are interest rates and interest rate a part of the value to feel money supporter leslie gold and that you can keep

interest rates near 0 so that if you are a white guy like me on wall street your cost of borrowing is 0 if you're a black guy living in the ghetto your cost of borrowing is 2000 percent it's called interest rate apartheid and it's practiced right here in america and all over the world they get no a high interest rates if you don't mind borrowing money to 0 percent of the strength you live in in the ghetto and that's the fact. that the republican national convention is donald trump improve his chances for reelection will get that perspective of this politicking. for the politic and i'm larry king day for the republican national convention will come upon us and with it has donald trump improve his chances for reelection let's get perspective from a well known republican who has endorsed the democratic candidate for president and

spoken out against donald trump she is christine todd whitman she served in the cabinet the president george w. bush as administrator of the environmental protection agency. before that she was governor of the state of new jersey and she joins us now from bad state ok christine has president trump improved disc gensis so far i'm not sure how much larry i mean he certainly has hard to space the 1st night was all about the pace that was really no outreach whatsoever the 2nd night it was one of those things where they trying to soften things but they didn't weren't talking about the record of the person who was they were speaking about frankly i listened to people and i just didn't recognize and same thing's been going on they seem to be going back and forth between being hard and and promoting the kind of things that his base loves to hear and then on trying to soften him on the other side and ignoring him

skipping over a lot of the record or misrepresenting frankly a lot of the record which everybody doesn't convention i get that up to a degree but i'm not sure how much it's told in undecideds but it certainly could have because there have been some very emotional testimonies are you no longer a republican or what are you a republican but i'm an eisenhower republican i'm not giving up on the party yet although it seems does seem to be right now since there is no platform to this convention which as you know is highly unusual because it's a party of trump once we're through this part of it we'll see less we governor you spoke of the democratic convention as you say your image in the republican was that difficult to do no it really wasn't because i just believe so strongly that trump is taking this country down a rabbit hole and that his disrespect for the rule of law is added to 2 of the.
