in the decision making. with the big stories we're across for you this weekend 1st off the pennsylvania avenue i guess to invited to the white house to hear donald trump speech at the end of the republican convention and complained of being as they left the event senator rand paul says he was targeted and he wants the f.b.i. to investigate. the senator claims that both he and his wife were set upon by crowds of protesters shouted at them and also pushed the offices who were with ron paul says he felt

their lives were at risk. they were shouting threats you know to stick to kill us to hurt us but they're also saying shout shouting save her name briana taylor. black lives matter protesters demanded the senate to say the name briana taylor a black woman fatally shot by police in her home it appears they didn't know that ron paul actually sponsored the justice for brianna taylor act which bans no knock warrants by officers like the one that led to her death the senator was also behind the stop militarizing law enforcement act to help the transfer of military equipment to police. political activist brandon straka was also targeted by black lives not to protest as well leaving the convention here's what he told us. 4 people from this black lives matter mob ended up walking up the streets near where my friends and i were as they crossed us they started calling us anti-gay slurs and then it became physical when they confronted us they spit in my friend my

carlos face who is a a conservative. they threw a drink at me and threw a cop at me and then they actually slapped my friend libby in the arm a girl who was there with me as well although this is not the 1st time in my life that i have endured an anti-gay attack on the street or concentration from strangers it is the very 1st time that something like this has happened in which the perpetrators of the attack portray themselves as the victims the other thing that really concerned me and kind of sickened me a little bit as it was happening was the idea that if we got in a position where we would have to defend ourselves it was clear to me that this would be misrepresented by the media as i was attacking that because this is how this whole thing is set up this is how this is been allowed to happen. it would suddenly become a black lives matter protesters attacked 2 gay men it would be 2 white men
1:04 pm
attacked black lives matter protesters. and the police have moved in to disperse an anti lockdown rally that's been underway in the capital but led nearly 20000 coronavirus skeptics and anti restriction activists had gathered in the city center on saturday off the day. thank. god. was. i. believe the origins had earlier called on protesters to maintain social distancing but police say the sense that request was ignored they had no choice but to move in the demonstrations proceeded by a furious legal battle as well but officials attention to ban the demo a court eventually did rule that it could go ahead but activists claim the authorities show double standards when it comes to differing protests as peter all

of an hour explains. set for launch demonstrations by those on happy with corona virus restrictions this weekend city authorities had tried to ban the demonstration saying they wouldn't be able to stick to rules put in place to stop the spread of the virus that upset people already weren't very happy city authorities were quick to point out that they no way was the attempt to ban these demos and attempt to limit freedom to demonstrate. that the law says explicitly that the right of assembly is protected no matter the reason of the respective demonstration so to forbid right wing demonstrations allow only leftwing ones is out of the question the principle of our decision is that the rules for protection against infection will be deliberately violated and so the right to assembly should not violate the law concerning infection. both protesters weren't buying that
1:06 pm
especially after the german press started reporting that counter-demonstrations being blocked on the disparities go along as the massive black life massive protests at the beginning of the summer went ahead without the same scrutiny while they might differ on a lot of issues it's not like the black lives crowd is very different from the anti lock down measures crowd when it comes to social distancing. the organizers saw that as a political move the linz interior minister said he wouldn't allow the city to become a backdrop of what he's described as coronavirus deniers and right wing extremists that's despite a large part of the 20000 strong crowd expected being made up of people who've lost
1:07 pm
their jobs during the corona lockdown the organizers of the rally their supporters claim all of this smacks of double standards i think the protests by and in berlin is wrong the old store it is argued that certain groups shouldn't be given a stage a distorted understanding of democracy the right to demonstrate is one of the most important civil rights no matter what calls you demonstrate for if you have no problem with you should also allow this bill and rarely if only one side can raise their issues then something's not right to counter protest against them to groom the virus rallies allowed in berlin it beggars belief the ban was lifted with challenge in court the ruling saying that authorities couldn't say for sure that social distancing and face covering rules would be flaunted on purpose so what we're going to have here in berlin are thousands of people many of whom don't believe the virus even exists gathering in the way that science and public health
1:08 pm
officials say is the perfect way to spread it peter all of a r.t. . of being violent scenes in sweden after unrest was triggered when anti islam activists burned a copy of the qur'an in public and streamed video of it online police say the more than $300.00 people outraged over what happened then took to the streets in protest but the situation soon descended into riots with demonstrators starting fires and clashing with police. police admitted to having no control over the violent riots the koran burning were staged by members of a dainty little particles hardline its founder is known for conducting its own
1:09 pm
campaign has now been banned from entering sweden 3 other party members so fucking arrested on suspicion of inciting hatred. let's get some reaction now later in a professor of social sciences at the university of guelph of burke professor welcome to r.t. can you give us some perspective on this that is anti islam sentiment and intolerance growing in sweden know they are not what i would say. it's a race based on islam or for the rebel creation against the muslim community that's what it's all about and i think. they just want to get a pension based fashion. and to provoke people in order for them to get under regularly. of attention through the media so i think up the point it's to to look out. for of a patient with us we do stand by one party supported by political parties
1:10 pm
here in sweden supported by me from fascist groups in sweden. and and directly supported by the sun media and some i would say. right there's experts in and to mostly in. mostly me mostly nixon i would say so how does it feel fear then that the party that stage this qur'an burning is it's a danish party if they are tapping into those groups that you just listed they're tapping into that support are they finding a growing set of support there yes they're fun live in sweden they know exactly that it's. asian here in sweden it's. starting. to go again muslim communities and they know it's some kind of a little support units and that's why they've gone otherwise they would the party's
1:11 pm
leaders been banned from entering sweden others of have been arrested are you happy with that response or because you seem to suggest that there are a number of elements in swedish society in academia and in political circles who are already moving to the right if not the far right and fascism. yes exactly well of course i'm very happy that the police stopped at the border and by then you have anyway people burning the koran and feel minutes in order to get these attention and to provoke muslims of course but i would say not only muslims. also non muslim and i think that you know it's a civil right to demonstrate the gunfire. i was very surprised that there were no more than 300 people the most played. there were should be more. given that there was trouble afterwards and clearly there is is disagreement from the review point which many will find extremely odious needless to say those views exist and they
1:12 pm
can be amplified online and stunts like this from neighboring countries can seem to make matters worse what you expect your government to do about it or even the danish government to do about it. well i mean the initial government should. look forward to going off of political parties are organizing there i mean we have a very very big problem in. political parties organize on the basis of fascism in the hole is going to nail you so that's one of the thing the problems one of the things that i do that to our least the take up parliament the question of. not supporting or not allowing fascist groups to organize politically we know exactly what can be happening in europe if political parties with fire should organize politically so i mean this there is
1:13 pm
a history in europe for that. we are. we are getting inductees direct again. so and so i think that the politicians the border moment should should understand the point and start to to think of. not allowing news organizations to really appreciate your time professor at record low professor of social science or gothenburg university thanks for your time this saturday in the. next tonight a new machine said to be able to detect the presence of the corona virus in the air has been invented by russian scientists it hopes that it can be used in crowded areas a massive vent and maybe prove a game changer in the fight against covert. the
1:14 pm
rubble to the work began in 2815 with the help of the russian health care ministry there is a series of projects aimed at creating domestic devices that could also massively detect pathogenic bio agents in the surrounding area. is just cited to me that we are now witnessing the unprecedented spread of the dangerous infectious disease that is the corona virus of course we can't ignore this problem and the bio detector is capable of identifying a dangerous concentration of the virus in the air. the device can detect a wide range of viruses bacteria and toxins and work in spaces of about 100 meters square the sensitivity of its detection is comparable to the best methods used in today's modern labs. someone doing then yes
1:15 pm
but actually a number of countries have been undertaking similar developments in the field of our security systems including south korea singapore and of course the u.s. every device has its own unique features and our stem cells for its high rate of autonomy is a work. it was not shown this for there and it is intended for use in places of mass gatherings such as airports train stations sports events as well as in russia's national security systems. that are going to is developing a controversial project that could see computers making life or death decisions on the battlefield. sensors willing air land sea space and cyberspace forces making a split 2nd choice over who and where to shoot i just thought the system could even eventually replace the need for senior military staff but there are huge concerns
1:16 pm
over excluding humans from decision making especially if the technology fails as we've been discussing with military and tech experts. who are is really a simple thing. and i know that there is new technology out there that you know has complicated it somewhat closing with and destroying the enemy through fire and maneuver as there is such a thing as too much data if you get too much data you actually create a lot of friction in the decision making all you're doing is actually increasing the vulnerability of the forces engaged in combat by creating your points to could be eliminated there is no ginger of human beings being replaced in the decision making cycle any time soon robots are bringing together huge amounts of data there's so much dr no doubt is being fed into different places we need something to help the human brain keep up with a good plan is when you let the scenes make decisions that they have found
1:17 pm
throughout the target unit is the appropriate situation in which to engage the target in the machine also is going to be tasked with any responsibility for deciding what are their civilians arounds or some other reason what we don't want to write you know you're basically making it fully autonomous there are no pure autonomy weapon systems are there today that are fielded by any western country and we're oversimplistic simplifying conflict currently there are very few conflict situations where you simply close and clearly enemy most of the conflict situation we find ourselves in at the moment are dealing with enemies who are living within the population we haven't won a war on terrorism yet i mean they're just the bottom line we've lost everyone we've been gauged in and one of the reasons why is. we've taken the iranian over the island so there's there's one ira was an engaged with artificial intelligence he was engaged with old fashioned human ingenuity. of islam a sort of military force none of my points are that are and are there some 7 that
1:18 pm
were used we brought in all these systems systems of systems of systems of systems and it's just not working that you actually put the people on the grounds lives at risk if you military took the high ground and said we don't want to use ai it's all about the people it's all about the human interaction and the state of war what about the bad guy what about the enemy's what about the competing armies if they've got the technology would you want your military top brass to be up to speed to with that kind of technology and i we're developing the systems and you know us russia has developed you also so is china so are other countries and we're going to stand these systems up against each other if we are really challenging the other side very intensely we're going to want to turn these systems on so they're ready to respond in a moment's notice to an attack from the other side and if something happens that looks like an attack you start shooting they start shooting now there's a real fight going on and how do you stop it once the scenes have started it this
1:19 pm
is why this is so dangerous that as we get more and more sensors and we get more and more complexities in warfare it's important to us is brought in in a way that a human being can digest it in small packages to the human decision making cycle we when bohr's by closing with in destroying the enemy whether it's a conventional force or a terrorist with fire power maneuver we have to kill the right enemy war at the end of the day is about humans and humans are very human endeavor and we try to simplify it by bringing in machinery computers and that's all you've done is create an artificial value that other humans are going to readily defeat. this is all tea from moscow still to come this saturday lessons in schools prepared to fully reopen their doors in england following the covert lockdown feel for parents say they are still not convinced it's safe it's all next story when we come back.
1:20 pm
seem wrong. to shape our. outlook. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

1:22 pm
advice is that schools are safe it's crucial that people understand that this far risk to the well being of our children from not going to school then there is from i'm afraid from the disease but concerned parents disagree the government is essentially experimenting with people's lives. i don't have any confidence because nothing's been put into place other than students and face masks it's ok my son is a teenager so he goes to high school and you know he's been home since i think it's march and the 1st thing children are going to do you think see their friends that greet them and they greet him by her 1st income stop the child you know social distance in this going to be totally impossible i just don't think that you know they're not getting help before education and i think that's what needs to how can i believe that maybe the government is doing a little 7 experimenting and i don't think you know lives are our experiment. about

$25000.00 schools in england start the academic year next week but each facility will be provided with just 10 coronavirus testing kits mask aprons gloves visors and how to hand sanitizer will also be stocked but again it's only going to be in limited amounts that extremely small number was only approved after the prime minister changed his mind making masks obligatory in schools which find themselves in localized lockdowns authorities meanwhile they're threatening to fine parents who keep their children home and some families have launched a petition asking not to force people back to school and got more than 100000 signatures so far the woman behind the protests believes there's not enough known about the transmission of covert in schools. the pandemic is still here the virus is still healing has gone away so they're contending with the reason that they came to try to hang on the great great gave me a vaccine and there is
1:24 pm
a cure all by the reintroducing god we don't know how how this is going to translate instills in england who can see the problem no hunches but overall attendance for schoolchildren in june july was just 16 percent so we haven't bought any idea of how good influence is now left i don't know why because the impact assessment is that we are going to schools the whole country if you have the individual has to. reach out. and education something from the game so that means there's no national and so days research evidence that the whole separately a study in britain says the covert lockout also saw an alarming rise in the number of children attacking their parents researchers put a 70 percent right on assaults down to a prolonged confinement and coerced proximity highest stress levels were also blamed some parents have been sharing their disturbing experiences.
1:25 pm
my son beat me so badly that if the police didn't come when they did i would not be alive everything is amplified there's no escape and it's not just the person being hurt his affected it's everyone that sees and hears it's the other children traumatised by seeing us. we discussed the study with experts in psychology sociology had criminology. even before call with a lot of parents find it very difficult to discipline their children i think in britain in particular a lot of fathers and mothers are almost scared to draw aren't boundaries that give children guidance and measures as a result of that a lot of adolescent. kind of grew up in a very constrained manner which means that they're going tensions develop instead of those tensions. being resolved amicably or peacefully the often have a physical act come in that's had been even before with a law guy it's obviously become much more
1:26 pm
a dose of light in recent months it's been terrible for you know all forms of domestic abuse we've seen rice's across every single category and the longer a lot john goes on and the longer the problems that come from the lockdown like and you know financial worries and homelessness things like that you know the problems aren't going to go white when not john ends this isn't going to end we're going to see an actual honest problem probably quite a long time so we need to take it very seriously and we need to do something about it now and it's not just going to end when the lockdown ends you know i'm actually a covert survivor and so i've been looking at this very closely and it is without question that the lockdown had a huge effect on reducing numbers everyone scared right now you know it looks like the numbers are going to go up again and you know more large scale lockdowns i
1:27 pm
think across the world soon very likely to be honest so i think a device to parents would be all things even getting your kids into as many natural interactions and environments as possible get kids outside get kids exercise get kids eating natural normal food get kids having some face to face interactions even if it's through zoom some kind of you know face to face interactions with friends with family because that is how humans evolved to go the 2nd that kids are just stuck in their rooms playing video games with faceless people across the world for hours on end for days on end for months on end i think we might have a problem quickly around the world next to ships funded by the renowned and all. i'm a street artist banksy to save migrants in the mediterranean now needs rescuing itself the vessels only launched last week but it's become stranded at sea because it's said to be too overloaded to move the 30 meter long ship had taken 200 people
