no jerry thinks. we dare to ask. it's a week since u.s. polling shows a black man in the back in the city triggering unrest but the incident also provides a pre-election opportunity for both the democrats and the republicans. question media and officials point the finger at the kremlin over what they are calling the poisoning of the prominent opposition activists alexina valmy despite limited medical evidence and russian doctors finding no trucks toxic agents in his system and also in the week your skull party speaks with the grieving parents of teenagers killed last year allegedly by u.s. diplomats wife who then fled the country. she was the last person to risk

it is absolutely clear that the united states government does not care if you are a legal or all that disturbed or. hello there welcome the latest news in a look back at the last 7 days to you watching the weekly here on r.t. international now we'll start with the news that a man has been found shot dead in the u.s. city of portland after a pro rally clash with black lives matter demonstrators on saturday night portland police reported they heard shots being fired and later located the victim you had been shot in the chest ready dead the crime scene has since reopened but no information about any suspect has been released it's also clear to a story it's also unclear whether the incident is linked to the clashes or the to demonstrate. ations the portland incident does come after

a week of chaos in the state of wisconsin the city of can oh sure enduring looting shooting and curfews the unrest erupted after police shot a black man multiple times in the back. how. do you. know what the best. were being boarded up. until this incident was not.

the one i remember back originally when black lives matter 1st started with 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 rallies 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 happened but also this week president trump playing to. full back pay pullin almost all of his predecessors and i say very modestly that i have done more for the african-american community than any

president since abraham lincoln our 1st republican president of the us and i have done more in 3 years for the black community then joe biden has done in 40. 7 years. ago when i'm reelected the best is yet to come. from speech they came is furious black lives massive protest has once again poured on to the streets that can i share they also turned back to in washington where top level guests on the final day of the u.s. republican national convention reported physical harassment on their way out of the . show has become a crucial poland in the u.s. election campaign. stars bernie guns firing people looting images that have become all too familiar in the united states as of late anarchy and 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 results when failed to fish rules in cities like portland minneapolis chicago and new york made a conscious decision not to support law enforcement to buy lots of bloodshed we are seeing in these and oldest cities it isn't happening by chance it's a direct result of refusing to allow law enforcement to protect our communities leftist try to turn that 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. aim for suggesting local authorities are responsible for the violence how shocked are a way 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 continued sit idly by and watch the sede burn to the ground. our nation is hurting we need leadership

that will heal our wounds not continue to pour salt on them peaceful protest against police violence should not be met with more violence and yet that's exactly what the president called for after the death of george floyd and here at home as george full oid briana taylor and a never ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered stating the simple fact that a black life matters is still met with derision from the nation's highest office as media and politicians blame each other some us citizens are taking up arms on their own in juneau shit wisconsin a teenager said to worship the police went to a protest and opened fire on the crown 2 people were killed the local police then shined in on their own saying that the victims were to blame because they were on 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 for curing 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 to see

families security for our businesses especially small businesses i feel bad for small businesses they were sold here by the coronavirus and those are the wonder of being impacted a lot on the spiral into the city unfortunately the real situation but both parties are using it as a political weapon. now it has been a year since an american woman allegedly killed teenager harry done in a car accident in the u.k. and then fled the country however britain's attorney general has now suggested that the diplomat's wife could actually face a virtual trial harry died when his motorbike was hit by a car reportedly being driven on the wrong side of the road by answer kulis after being charged with causing death by dangerous driving she then left the country claiming diplomatic community parents say they won't abandon their fight for justice they spoke with r.t. shadi edwards dashti. the hardest thing for me is having no control over

when you're going to cry i know the camilla big i watch off guard i don't show my lotions are easy but since i was going it can strike the most smallest thing i know i'll just start crying or car stop myself. as much film. the frustration i feel because our current congress wrote it only feels like yesterday since they put terrorists think. the same lane. nobody. can. feel like. harry spammy 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 her respond they down this family lost their son and they were treated like dirt on the bottom of their shoe that legal loophole allowed secure lists to claim diplomatic immunity as the wife of a u.s. staff member but after discussions between the u.s. and u.k. the family at the base cannot be prosecuted going forward thankfully with the harries an amendment in the treaty a few weeks back absolutely every a shows us the family that know what the family would have to fight it's the way we have nobody else now it's the crime such as well and the list was done and walk free is

a proud thing to know that i was not. it is part of the new rule in history books i grew up cherries some of ours legacy now but despite that there are of hope it doesn't help charlatan tim get justice for himself you know 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 do organ donation and someone has to be held responsible for that nobody in this world should be able to take a life and walk away a year on from harry's death the family are still unable to come to terms with their loss. reserve. what are truly.

special special without. the lust for life he enjoyed life enjoyed meeting people he was larger than life as they say he was he was but what. could have been more proud of a so since long before lost the primary school. over 10. and this is not true is that you can still. beat him it was cool that's. inside out and. still not quite that it would. be hung on the wall. and you know that. and it can't hurt.

watching r.t. and i think this hour as russia finds itself repeatedly accused in the media of poisoning prominent opposition activists right in the valley of the kremlin says that no one should be jumping to conclusions when the substance found in his system hasn't been identified we'll have that story just after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back now it is exactly 3 weeks since the contested presidential election and better race which triggered unprecedented scenes of protests in the country

today is also the day the president lukashenko and demonstrators a saying that they will mark the occasion by laying flowers at his residence many of once again today been gathering at independence square in the capital of minsk so let's go there now and speak to our correspondent you were just on a few go she's good afternoon just run through them what you've been saying today in the capital and what's happening. well absolutely and we are in the very center of the better russian capital minsk the independence square that you mentioned is literally just some 20 meters behind me about way it is still called the cordoned off by the police forces essentially what was going to happen here the opposition had planned a rally there weekly sunday a rally just here essentially they wanted to repeat they wanted to repeat a very similar action that they had last week it was to start a c.p. m.

here and but as people started to gather they started to throw look here as they came here they found out that the police forces that they had the had the square cordoned off and then they they decided to gather here in the in the avenue that is literally just like a few like 10 me says down down from the vantage point where i. i am right now so they decided to do that and then the police they blocked off the streets as if to let protest has led protests to spill onto the onto the driveway into onto the street but then the special forces arrived in the century they started they started detaining people the most active participants of the protest so the sutta detaining people those who were willing to go with those who were willing to those who didn't resist arrest or detention they say they didn't apply force to them those who were resisting they arrested forcefully but no no one was beaten from what i judging by

what i have seen no one was beaten in total 10100 excuse me and 25 people have been detained here at the rally so then the protest was pushed forward down the street in that direction and you know the connection the mobile network while they are being they're being jammed by the by the government here during during protests so we couldn't really go live from there but i did record a piece to let you to let you see so that you could get the atmosphere here in the better russian capital have a look. you can see there is several 100 people behind me several 100 people are waiting for these for this crowd just over there now you can see a lot of police vans here because they are right here just in time right on time when this meeting was sheffield to begin when this protest was shuttle to begin and

let us just pull back a little bit i will show you why the people are mucking and why they're doing this because it's not just police vans but. there are police vehicles in full riot gear there are some really it was machinery just over there check it out and so. senshi you can see the police filming everything that's going on and over there this is why people are moving essentially so they're chanting go go leave they're chanting shame shame for century what they want they want the incumbent president of the republic of belarus to step down we've seen daily action but this is a very large scale protest because it's a sunday and this has become sort of a traditional thing for them to essentially protesters have been boxed in so to speak because there's a line of special forces literally a few meters away from me and people are yelling at them they're yelling shame

shame they're saying that you swore an oath to serve and protect this country like and they're saying who are you protecting this country from now so essentially now this column is not being allowed to move any further and in the back very slowly from what i can see a very heavy police force is moving from the back sort of kind of cramping it in so we will be following this protest throughout the day to bring you all the latest . this week the kremlin has faced repeated accusations from by western officials and also the media of poisoning a prominent opposition activist lies in a valley fell violently ill on a flight in siberia he has since been airlifted to berlin for treatment of course now in the unfolding. 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 i say varney fell ill

on a flight to moscow forcing the pain to make a must learn to tolerate and 20 local hospital numerous toxicology tests were run all the results came back negative tests on the well known 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's raising him to group was found the exact substance so remains unknown and almost a week later no updates the russian doctors have saved his life in those crucial early hours one to exchange data 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. trip windings their pull all the medical tests that they undertook on the vote on the other prepared to share them with the russian doctors if there know if they tried to do work to reason made did with the script palls and offer no cooperation whatsoever with the russian word for it is so the russians could make an independent assessment of what the german scientists a pound 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 this 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 nordstrom 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 lump all those who have 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 couple these issues and in our opinion north trying to should be completed 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 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 2000 try nevertheless it was built and now there's a new torso and drain situation i would say is that a bit more different from it last 2 years ago and i don't see how all that speaking notes which we have been hearing from u.s. officials over the last years are still when it in today's environment of neri low gas prices is that alongside all 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 'd 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 delts 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 the valley 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 appraises heat of those doctors and let. the medical professionals who initiate on getting quite the say respects. 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 who treated me about owning and obviously those threats were not his fault one would think that until the final result actually turns office lives the only thing one could do is wish

they have. coverage but it seems that here and inconclusive medical diagnosis has already been spun into a pre-determined political one. so the reporting that that brings you up to date i will be back with the latest on today's protests in batteries plus more stories from the way to you in just 30. 1 else seemed wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just to become educated and engaged because the trail.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. she stressed to make sure that the. terror. was so here she. said i'm. going to burst. forth to share. it's a mystery. until. 436 arguable that the studio surely. must be wrong or should stop them spinning.

in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks a population of tens of were forced to flee their homes was striken to put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing they were active participants in the burning of the streets in belfast i think more than a 100 innocent civilians will. leave you can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent. to which the solution was involved in some of those places that killers would lead to be named. and i think it went to the very very top i think it is. the water

where all the tastes and you know on the go ahead. so what we've got to do is identify the threat. that we have it's crazy going from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development the only place really i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. do no harm to old shattered by digital. in this episode we explore the ignorance and greed that led to our current crisis

one of the 1st. medicine is do no harm. said that hypocrisy is was the 1st to say this and what that means is that the cure for any medical problem shouldn't be worse than the disease that you're trying to treat a big chunk of america is in chronic pain and pain meds back pain pain arthritis events real and it affects people's lives and they would like a way to live their lives to take care of their families without being in this need what's the strain in the brain is that different brains in their brain that's not in pain people have it in their hear there's a feel for something gardasil whatever mountain iranians or something out there is going to you know there was this new miracle drug it's going to lemonade all your brain inside the company and the drug came out they received so many letters from people who had been suffering from.
