you know on the go ahead. it turns a week now since u.s. police shot a black man in the park in the city of could no shit triggering unrest but also a pre-election opportunity to use by both the democrats and the republicans. western media and officials point the finger at the kremlin over what they call the poisoning of a prominent sort of russian opposition activist despite a glaring lack of medical evidence 1st and russian doctors tray of finding no trace of toxic agents in the lex in the valley system. but also the week has gone out he spoke with the grieving parents of teenager. killed last year allegedly by a u.s.

diplomats wife and then fled the country. she was the last person to risk it is our salute required of united states government does not have either a legal or moral dark to stand on. good morning for rush hour out international the weekend with me kevin 0 in this is that we clear up of the big headlines of the last 7 days as reported by us to you thanks you time this morning hope you stick with me for half an hour the 1st looting shootings curfews a week of violence in the u.s. city of commotion after police shot a black man multiple times. the

hook is the best. thing that we were saying. until this incident was. a hook. up and i remember back originally when black lives matter 1st started were trayvon martin and then you know you had mike brown eric garner and you had case after case of these shootings of young black men and women across the country were the officers were never really held accountable for that and you had protests and grab these kind of false you know. dog and pony show style fixes of the institutional racism without really addressing it without really. you know taking it to task of really changing the culture and the nature of this country that allows these things

to happen it's not going to change until there is real actual honest change in this country and that doesn't come from just you know politicians getting on t.v. and promising reforms that never happen. also this week president trump claimed he's done more for black people and all of his predecessor as well almost still. i say very modestly that i have done more for the african-american community than any president says 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 the when i'm reelected the best is yet to come. some speech came a few areas to protest as once again pulled out of the streets of commotion

washington to top level guests on the final day of the u.s. republican national convention reported physical harassment on the way out caleb maupin looks now how can i become a crucial porn in the us election chess game at the moment. cars burning guns firing people looting images that have become all too familiar in the united states as of late anarky an action on the streets has got politicians finding 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 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 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 murtha 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 by and watch the saide 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 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 for during racial unrest and i don't know flowing through that and you've got you've got the republican side saying that especially the pin pointed 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 families security for our businesses especially small businesses i feel bad for small but with loot they were sold here by the corona virus and those are the ones already being impacted a lot on this violence in the city unfortunately the real situation but both parties are using it as a political weapon. that makes the burden of proof lies with hold on who

needs proof these days this week seen western media and officials breathlessly accuse the kremlin of poisoning a problem an opposition activist election involving is still in berlin for treatment and german medics have yet to present sarah analysis though. taylor asked what's behind the blame game. it's not every day that a patient receiving treatment in a siberian hospital becomes a global person of interest's and that's what happened when at the same value fell ill on the flight to moscow forcing the pay to make must slanted to her 820 local hospital numerous toxicology tests were run all the results came back negative. for a wide spectrum of synthetic substances including inhibitors were negative also on admission to the hospital there was no clinical picture specific to the colon a series inhibitor group fast forward a few days new colleagues still in interest coma had been airlifted to

a specialist chemical bolena more tests were run and it could have a call for the kind that strays in him to group was found the exact substance so remains unknown and almost a week later no updates the russian doctors saved his life in those crucial early hours one to exchange date to better understand the initial findings of that other colleagues but somehow already decided to it's best to believe some don't even need to wait for the final results after all but it's all just for have put it was not from chuck the fall he is 20 twentieth's a case for power but it was the kremlin in fact it was who took himself the question is the germans prepared to share their findings all of the. names their pull all the medical tests that they undertook on the vote on the other they prepared to share them with the russian doctors if there know if they tried to

do work to reason made did with discrete piles and offer no cooperation whatsoever with the russian with or it is so the russians could make an independent assessment of what the german scientists have found then it's hard to see where the russians or any are under any obligation to conduct the investigation i say look we don't know that he was poisoned our doctors say that he wasn't so why should we just accept what the germans say when the germans refuse to provide us with any scientific basis to assess their findings. either way russia has to be punished and not just with actions to make previous actions quote pale in comparison but also by striking as an entirely unrelated project but i'm increasingly convinced the germany should pull out of the north stream to project russia's president putin is turning increasing 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 for i'm going to pull those who has been fighting to keep north stream to alive despite the best efforts of nation as this is neither the time nor the place to be talking gas. i think that we should be a couple these issues and in our opinion north trying to should be completed that nobody builds a pipeline just to n.r. somebody a pipeline is built because it is the mom it's the 2nd part of the pipeline and that was initiated in 2000 try we saw the same argue mance and those years apart 100 fact allen chief 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 new trial and training situation i would say is that

a bit more different from it was 2 years ago and i don't see how the old speaking notes which we have been hearing from u.s. officials over the last years are still well it in today's environment of neri low gas prices instead the loss side of the international figures she's called for moscow to conduct a full and transparent investigation which the kremlin has already said will happen but only when it becomes clear what exactly needs to be investigated if the divisions. as identified it was determined that it was an intentional act of poisoning then of course it would give grounds for an investigation no dealt so far there are also many other medical versions as to what could have caused have on this condition despite a preliminary investigation that was initiated zoe is or was the 20th no evidence of an intentional criminal act against me has been established and no evidence that would allow us to classify this incident and a criminal law has been found so far well the world awaits further findings of the

praises heat of this doctors and let. the medical professionals who initiate me are getting quite the say. i personally my family my children have received dozens of physical threats you know i'm not hiding my personal life and of course it didn't affect anything god will judge those people were treated and obviously those threats were not his fault one would think that until the final result and then partially turns off it like the only thing one could do is wish they'd have our. coverage but it seems that here any conclusive medical diagnosis has already been spun into a pre-determined political one. that we just go on marked a year since the american woman allegedly ran over to harry dern in england killing him she then fled the country now britain's attorney general says the diplomat's

wife could face a virtual trial that ari died when his motorbike was hit by a car reportedly being driven on the wrong side of the road allegedly behind the wheel at the time was answered kilis after being charged with causing death by dangerous driving she then fled the u.k. claiming diplomatic immunity the dunn family sort of private prosecution against britain's foreign secretary over it after it was revealed u.k. officials letter leave the country the victim's parents told artie's edwards dashti why they won't give up. the hardest thing for me is having no control over when you're going to cry you know the camilla big guy kwacha or don't show emotions are easy but since i was going. the most smallest thing i know i'll just start crying or car stop myself under age film. and the frustration i feel because i come on congress from an atheist like guest since

i think it's terrorists think. the same lane. and. feel like. harry's family are fighting to bring securitas back to the u.k. to face justice 6 months after his death she was charged with death by dangerous driving but britain's extradition request was rejected by the u.s. it's been a tough tough battle for this family we've had to not just climb mountains but move mountains because having now closed the loophole the legal loophole that allowed her to escape she was the last person to escape it is absolutely clear now that the united states government does not have either a legal or moral leg to stand on the authorities and the system completely let harry's family down this family lost their son and they were treated like dirt on

the bottom of their shoe that legal loophole allowed secure less to claim diplomatic immunity as the wife of a u.s. staff member but after discussions between the u.s. and u.k. family at the base can now be prosecuted going forward thankfully with the harries on a man than in the trace a few weeks back absolutely every is shows us is the family that now with the family would have to fight it's the way we have nobody else now it's the crying such as well and skilless has done and walk free is a proud thing to know the. no music is part of the new ruling history books thankfully that cherry's some of our legacy now but despite that there are of hope it doesn't help charlotte and tim get justice for harry himself in the promise i made him when we lost him that night just burns the desire in the pit of your stomach to complete that promise. you tell your poorly you look

at him to get him justice when he's layin there no life left in him. literally every bone in its body. every organ damage to the point we couldn't even to open to a nation and someone has to be held responsible for that nobody in this wild should be able to take a life i will call what a a year on from paris death the family are still unable to come to terms with that loss. are truly. special special not. just for long he enjoyed life enjoyed meeting people he was larger than life space and was he was he. could have been more proud of so. far last primary school.

over 10. years that you can still. speak school because you feel. inside and out and. still not quite. able to. find on the wall. and you know that. and it can't. family talking to us from anniversary of the son's death this is out international stage if you can this week to take it from all the news of the week this one is coming up the black lives matter movement reappears in breach headlines as the b.b.c. temporarily scraps lyrics for 2 colonial era songs and big fuss of the week we put that up for debate that you can see the results of it

a bit later in the program but right now a break. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for

a mate in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello again the governor of sicily has ordered the closure of all migrant reception centers on the island now i'm a summit she also wants to expel all the refugees to from sicily over coronavirus fia's. by midnight on monday all migrants in the hotspots never assuption sentences so will have to be transferred to structures outside the island without delay it is not possible to guarantee their stay on the island to in compliance with health measures to prevent contagion if this being a string of breakouts from refugee holding centers including by those who tested

positive for covert 90 troops have been deployed to the island to try to ensure immigrants stick to the quarantine rules but cicely's far from the only region with growing pandemic fear is the northern city of a so being considered a covert free city but then $200.00 migrants in this refugee center fell victim in just 2 weeks with some reportedly also escaping quarantine it's thought that may now have contributed to the area's coronavirus crisis. we call it health bomb because there are 256 people confined into the same structure and they don't want to separate between covert 900 positive cases and negative ones indeed prosecutors this month launched a probe after the 1st covert cases were discovered it releases migrant center and public anger at the situation is growing too. and of. too many migrants together it was inevitable now the danger is young people who do not distance themselves but why are all just say that the virus has weakened. the

problem is not just inside the barracks it seems to me that the situation is out of control more serious and correct measures are needed but right now they don't know how to deal with it. and there is some concern it's a shame that our politicians have left us in disarray without solution i thought i would go back for younger people in migrants are taking it seriously we all need to be conscientious and be more careful and you're going on. it's better not to talk about the serrano issue it was bad management it continues to be bad the root of the problem must be solved move the migrants and give them a chance to leave a decent law. i. am very worried we were free from corbett and now there are all this new cases the fault lies with those letting the migrants in they should be sent back home well it comes as a ship to rescue migrants in the mediterranean funded by the renowned street artist banksy now needs rescuing itself the vessel is only launched last week but has

become stranded at sea to overloaded with refugees to move the 30 meter long ship or taken 200 people aboard but it sent out a message calling for help the italian coast guard came to its aid taking 49 of the most vulnerable people on board off. the fate of a british colonial past is making news again 'd in the u.k. after the b.b.c. confirmed that its removing the lyrics to 2 patriotic songs at its flagship classical concert the proms 18th century song rule britannia has been criticized for its links to slavery while land of hope and glory penned in 100001 plugs the british empire yet british prime minister boris johnson insists the country shouldn't be ashamed of its history i think it's time we stopped our. embarrassment about our history about our traditions and about our culture and we stop this. by it's self recrimination and witness i wanted to get that off my

chest so we did the b.b.c. points out the lyrics will return once again once they can feature seeing is a covert free environment we put the issue up for debate with the concert itself diverting opinion of. prince of multicultural country has anthems written in the. early 18th century prefix of britain's imperial past so well and good maybe this reclaiming museums where rightly belong but i think on the national broadcast we don't want to hear that sort of stuff and certainly somebody my background if you are black or asian or from one of the commonwealth countries then the implication that brits will never be slaves doesn't hold quite true for you and neither your descendants night i think should go almost everybody in the country likes that and they enjoyed this up in the one night a year of the last night of the problems it's been going on since $8095.00 so

that's when the problem started so it's a carnival culture it's a part of our heritage and they should state review it's not the place of people who have just started working for the b.b.c. to state that they can stop us singing britain's a multicultural country is not a country. a land of hope and glory how can we pay be patriotic to a country that formally because black pretty citizens as we saw it when ross county we want to have a real debate about the nature of citizenship more than prepared to help it but to try and suggest that this country treats everybody with equality before the laureus complete hogwash in fact we're an unequal society and a deeply racialized society hasn't been proven by research time and time again singing songs about touching and then we need to find a new tune and you would signal with them that reflect the modern realities of britain in the 21st century in this country in the united kingdom there is nothing

going on it's the same as the east you know it's a kingdom it's one of the best places in the world the black and brown people to live it's not a racist country this now there is systemic racism simply isn't true look i got on well i'm a london assembly member you. oh i an indian secretary you've got in india chancellor of the exchequer yeah no i do that you know it's not all white people to say to black people this is a when the focus intrigues you know racism doesn't exist it's about people sell white people actually this is what we can do well i mean member response of black people when they surveyed by himself laurie and others in the post but like most movements he's a pretty nice remains a racist country so much like the sort of romantic. drivel that we just said the relation to this being some sort of wonderful meritocracy of anti-racism in the b.b.c. culture reflected changing culture times and we see programmes removed from the

b.b.c. like love thy neighbor and god knows what else and there will be more of that to come up salute he sure and this is just another element of thought that was something completely different i would agree with that but we're not talking about what we're talking about last night the drum solutions yeah what does the b.b.c. want starbursts you find that you have diversity but you've got to have tradition in that you've got a city by british culture not every other culture. and that's what's so wrong about this. enjoy the program so some of the big news headlines of the last 7 days shaped up as reported by us to you this is the weekly live from martine's world news h.q. moscow this sunday for me kevin i went on the tape of a great rest of the week. for all the room vowed.
