suddenly become a black lives matter protesters attacked 2 gay men it would be 2 white men attacked black lives matter protesters. protesters taking part in an anti lockdown rally in berlin tried to storm the german federal parliament building the bundestag police made more than $300.00 arrests as they moved to break up the demonstration. he thought it had earlier called on protesters to maintain physical distancing but the police say the since the request was ignored they had no choice but to move in the demonstration was preceded by a furious legal battle as well with attempting to ban the demo a court that eventually ruled that it could go ahead but the activists claim that the authorities showed double standards when it comes to differing protests as peter on about explained. demonstrations by those on happy
6:05 pm
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 upset people already weren't very happy city authorities were quick to point out that in 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 of 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. protesters weren't buying that especially after the german press started reporting that counter-demonstrations being blocked the disparities go on 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 their jobs during the corona lockdown the organizers of the rally their supporters
6:07 pm
claim all of this smacks of double standards i think the protests by and in berlin is wrong the all storage is argue 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 burn and rarely if only one side can raise their issues then something's not right account to protest against them to groom the virus rallies allowed it beggars belief the ban was lifted it was 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 officials say is the perfect way to spread it peter all over but it. could have been

violent scenes in sweden after unrest was triggered when and 2 years activists burned a copy of the qur'an in public and streamed video doing it online police say the more than 300 people outraged by what happened then took to the streets in protest but the situation soon descended into riots with demonstrators starting fires and clashing with police. the police admitted to having no control over the riots the qur'an but it was staged by members of a danish political policy called hardline its founder is well known for conducting anti islam campaigns and has now been banned from entering sweden 3 other party members have also been arrested on suspicion of inciting hatred reaction locally
6:09 pm
has polarized as we've been hearing. the burning of the koran was actually quite revealing for a country. of sweden it showed the big problem sweden has and it showed the problems we have with immigration the lack of control and also this state the swedish state's inability to control its own territory is also indication of the huge demographic problem we have with immigrant groups becoming a bigger part of the swedish society and it also i think why this action and what's important is that we have to wait more and more sweet. from there you know ignorance on the problems we didn't cause that many swedes still think that all cultures are alike all religions are alike. but it isn't and this is one of the wakeup calls that's which can happen i think that's very important because swedish
6:10 pm
people are very naive and they need to wake up to reality and this incident here is one that shows the reality is so. great for the probation against the muslim community that's what it's all about. they just want to get up and. i'm to probe all 4 of the 4 of them and i regularly kind of attention through the new and by then you have anyway people burning the koran. and feel minute in order to get the attention and to provoke muslims of course but i would say not only muslims. also non muslims and i think that you know it's a civil right to demonstrate the gun flashes. i was very surprised that there were no more than 300 people demonstrating. the pentagon is developing
6:11 pm
a controversial project and could see computers making life or death decisions on the battlefield sense as well link adland scene space and cyberspace forces making a split 2nd choice over who and where to shoot if the system could even eventually replace the need for c.v. in military stuff but there are also huge concerns over excluding humans from decision making it's especially if the technology fails as we've been discussing with military and tech experts. war is really a simple thing i've done it 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 that's it or 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 point secure be eliminated there is no danger of human beings being replaced in the decision making
6:12 pm
cycle anytime soon robots are bringing together huge amounts of data there's so much data no doubt is being fed into different places we need something to help the human brain keep up with a good 20 years when you look at the scenes make decisions that beat out found the real target you know this is the appropriate situation in which to engage the tomorrow. you know if we see an officer was going to be tasked with any responsibility for deciding where are their civilians around for some other reason we don't know if they're right you know you're basically making it fully autonomous there are no pure autonomy weapon systems there are today that are filtered 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 the war on terrorism yet i mean
6:13 pm
that's just the bottom line we've lost everyone we've been gauged and one of the reasons why is that we've taken a defeat in the other raid in northern ireland so there's there's one of the ira was an engaged with artificial intelligence the ira was engaged with old fashioned human ingenuity. it was lowered to look very similar and on and i pointed out on the internet there are some 7 that were used we brought in all these system systems of systems of systems of systems and it's just not working that you actually put the people on the ground as lives at risk if you military took the high ground and said we don't want to use a it's all about the people it's all about the human interaction in the state of war what about the bad guy what about the enemies what about the competing armies if they've got the technology would you want your military top brass to be up to speed with that kind of technology and i we're developing the systems and you asked russia's to go 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
6:14 pm
respond in a moment's notice to an attack from the other side and then 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 this 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 a. brought in in a way that a human being jest it in small pockets to the human decision making cycle when bohr's by closing within destroying the enemy whether it's a conventional force or a terrorist. to kill the right enemy war at the end of the day is about humans fighting humans a very human endeavor when you 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. well if digital general speaking about how about a programmable pig. this is good true he's got
6:15 pm
a computer chip and it's 1000000000 musk's neuro science project to link brains to machines the idea is it could potentially curial misses such as strokes and the fiction can tell you more about. on the way here those lessons to schools prepared to fully reopen the doors in england following the covert lockdown fearful parents say they are still not convinced that it's safe it's going to be our next story when we come back. 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 of the money is poor girlishly gold in 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
6:16 pm
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 borrowing money to 0 percent you live in the ghetto and that's the fact. seemed wrong. to me. yet to stamp out these days because that's ok and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the british government is trying to reassure parents in england concerned about
6:17 pm
their children catching the coronavirus when they return to school next week officials are pointing to research that only one percent of patients needing hospital treatment have been teen age or younger and nearly all of had preexisting conditions the fatality rate is relatively low to 6 children have died compared to a 27 percent mortality rate across all age groups in britain prime minister boris johnson insists that schools are safe. i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school next week and in the succeeding days all scientific advice is that schools are safe it's absolute crucial that people understand that there's far more risk to the wellbeing of our children from not going to school then there is from i'm afraid from the disease but a concern mother we spoke to disagree is claiming the government is essentially experimenting with people's lives. i don't have any confidence because nothing's
6:18 pm
been put into place other than students are and face masks so 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 see their friends that greet them and they greet him by her 1st income stop the child you know social distancing 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 me stands on a belief that maybe the government is doing a little 7 x. i don't think you know lives are experiments. in about $25000.00 schools in england start the academic year next week each facility will be provided with just 10 coronavirus testing kit said as well masks aprons gloves buys us and sanitizer that all we stock but it's only going to be in limited amounts and even that extremely small number was only approved after the prime minister changed his mind making
6:19 pm
masks obligatory in england schools which find themselves in a localised knockdowns your thought is meanwhile are threatening to fine parents who keep their children at home some families of the petition asking not to force people back to school has got 100000 plus signatures collected so far the woman behind the petition believes there's not enough known about the transmission of code in schools right now. the pandemic is still here the virus is still here it hasn't gone away so it's kind of it was the reason that they gave to jerry hanken the great great it gave him a vaccine and there is you know why the reintroducing don't we don't know how how this is going to transmit instils in england who can see the pattern and know hunches but overall attendance for school children in june and july was just 16 percent so we haven't bought any idea of how good that influence is no evidence or no has given the impact assessment that we have to go to schools a whole country if you have the individual heads to reach it. and education 2nd and
6:20 pm
again so that means there's no national and so they research evidence that the whole. the years taken a toll to a study in britain says the covert lockdowns or an alarming rise in the number of children attacking their parents research is probably 70 percent rise in assaults down to prolonged confinement and coerced proximity high a stress levels were also blamed some parents have been sharing their disturbing experiences. my son beat me so badly that if the police didn't come when they did i would not be life everything is amplified there's no escape and it's not just the person being hopes who's affected it's everyone that sees and hears it's the other children are traumatized by seeing us. we discussed the findings with experts in psychology sociology and criminology. even before called it a lot of parents find it very difficult to discipline their children i think in
6:21 pm
britain in particular a lot of fathers and mothers are almost scared to draw boundaries that give children guidance and there's as a result of that a lot of adolescents. kind of grow up in a very constrained matter which means that they're well tench to do is develop instead of those tensions being resolved amicably or peacefully the often have a physical outcome and that's had been even before with a log ah it's obviously become much more intensified in recent months it's been terrible for you know all forms of domestic abuse we've seen rices across every single category and the longer a lot time 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
6:22 pm
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 think across the world soon very likely to be honest so i think an advice to parents would be all things even get your kids enter 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 some kind of you know face to face interaction with friends with
6:23 pm
family because that is how he. go the 2nd that kids are just stuck in their rooms playing video games with faceless people across the world for hours on end or days not and for months on end i think we might have a problem. briefly around the world now a ship funded by the renowned anonymous street artist banksy to save migrants in the mediterranean now needs rescuing itself the vessel was 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 aboard when it sent out a message calling for help the italian coast guard came to its aid taking away 49 of the most vulnerable people on board. another major rally by the opposition has been held in the capital the protests there for almost 3 weeks since the contested presidential election saturday's
6:24 pm

6:25 pm
6:26 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. be any dramatic development only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. i'm after accounting you're watching going underground the team and i will be back with a brand new season starting september the 5th but until then we'll be showing you some of your favorite shows of this past star studded season stay safe coming up in this episode. on today's show oliver stone
6:27 pm
one of the greatest filmmakers of all time all over thanks so much for coming on you're coming on a stand simply for chasing the lights your new memoir tell me 1st of all why that phrase chasing the lived appears to mean so much in so many different ways so important to your life it's good to be a burka should set a world. where i don't know why you said in a sense that we're going to open about chasing the world. it's called chasing life because. for the simple reason that in movies the land. sometimes is that is death life or death for a film. and for me i've been running after that light when when the sun sets in the afternoon late afternoon or early evening you don't have any more like to shoot or you have to go to artificial light which is no good for me so i'm always running to get there west let's say it's 4 o'clock 6 o'clock in the afternoon in the latest
6:28 pm
fall in i have 3 shots i want to get to finish the scene if i don't get them i can't i have to rethink the scene quickly it puts me under maximum pressure the kind of movies i mean there shots were low budget most of them were pretty tight on the budgets always so i didn't have a lot of days i had to move fast it was the opposite of stanley kubrick if you want you mentioned life and death because in this book it's very apparent that after painting as amazing they were a man take a picture of your parents and their meeting in the shadow of world war 2 you literally seem to be almost suicidal in your desire. for it too far to say for death of the being rejected for an all to enlist i explain that in detail it was very painful for me i haven't. lived a magical life for 15 years in new york and in france my mother was french my
6:29 pm
father was a soldier colonel in world war 2 in mary it was a beautiful big year they never belonged together they were. i'm the product of that it's a contradictory relationship between 2 people that has haunted my whole life and by writing the book i understood myself better i was being torn between these 2 and i'm the child of that divorce and i try to write about what a child of divorce is like he sees the world in a different way he sees the world as a lie i mean what people are saying about themselves is often a lie as we know from governments as well so i grew into a. young man who was very troubled and you have to admit adolescents are not in those days were not they didn't give them space we were not considered full at all so i don't think it was attention was paid to the to the problems of adolescence they continue to this day in america we have a record suicide rate per young people of 1920. record and may countries i gather
6:30 pm
this is a growing problem because there's a lack of spiritual life that's what took me to this place of fatalism and i said i want to go to war i want to see what it's like at the bottom i don't want any favors and if the gods my destiny were intended for me to take me they would take me i would test myself against them and i did i didn't complain when i was there i got wounded twice i mean i did a lot of fighting i saw a lot of combat when i i brought it on myself i wasn't whining about it but i felt like i was lucky i survived and if you saw platoon you remember the end of it i found a meaning to my life in that war which is to say i want to go on and teach what i know to others.
