we. ask. it's a week since son rest was once again triggered in the us when police shot a black man in the back in the city of. the incidents also provided a pre-election opportunity for both the democrats and republicans. also in the week just gone the kremlin fends off claims of poisoned prominent opposition activist alexina valmy citing limited medical evidence and the fact that doctors found no trace of toxins in his system. and a year after teenager was killed in a road accident in the u.k. the campaign continues to get his alleged killer to face justice she's a u.s.

diplomats wife who fled the country. she was the last person to. salute the clear and that the united states government does not have either a legal or moral right to. a low from international a moscow i'm calling with the weekly taking you through some of the biggest stories we covered here over the past 7 days 1st though a man has been found shot dead in the u.s. city of portland in oregon it comes after a pro trump rally clashed with black lives matter demonstrators on saturday night full of police reported hearing shots fired and later located the victim who'd been hit in the chest and was already dead his identity has not been released although media reports claim that he was wearing a hat with the name of a far right group on it police have given no information about any potential suspect either it's also unclear whether the incident is linked to the clashes between the 2 demonstrations. supporters had been driving around the city in

a so-called cruise rally with some waving banners proclaiming old lives matter one point that came into contact with black lives matter protesters and documents broke out in some cases they descended into brawls and the racism protests have been ongoing in downtown portland for months ever since the death of george floyd in minneapolis tonight. the portland incident comes after a week of chaos broke out in the state of wisconsin the city of cannot assure enjoyed looting shootings and curfews that unrest erupted after police shot a black man multiple times in the back last sunday disturbing video of the incident which we're about to show you will shed widely online.

so. we're staying. until this incident. i remember back originally when black lives matter 1st started with trayvon martin and then you know you had mike brown or gardner 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 institution was there without really addressing it without really. you know taking it to task of really changing the culture in. nature of this country that allows these things to happen

is 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 and also this week president trump claimed that he had done more for the black community in the united states than almost all of his predecessors. but 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 than joe biden has done in 47 years to go when i'm reelected the best is yet to come from speech came as furious like lives massive protest has descended on washington toplevel guests on the final day of the republican party convention reported being how rest as they left the event and i'm open looks at how the current unrest has become a crucial poll in the presidential election campaign. cars bernie 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 all those 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 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 'd 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 the finger at the situation on the streets is only getting worse across the country people are bracing for turbulent times ahead but 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

through that and you've got you've got the republican side saying that it's actually the pin pointing the finger at democratic leaders and democratic city is that the leadership there is not take me appropriate action. you know 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 but i feel so bad for small but they were so hit by the coronavirus and those are the ones already being impacted a lot on the violence in the city unfortunately the real situation but both parties are using it and the political weapon. this 3 weeks since the contested presidential election in belarus which triggered i'm president it seems of protest sunday was also president lukashenko birthday and demonstrators have been marking the occasion by laying flowers at his official residence many once again gathered in the capital center to demonstrate around 140 arrests have been made it was done

of as being among the crowds in minsk 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 with it's not just police vans but there is there are police vehicles in full riot gear there are there some really it developments machinery just over there check it out and so sensual you can see the police filling everything that's going on and over there this is why people are moving essentially so they're chanting go go leave and they're chanting shame shame but essentially what they want they want the incumbent president of the republic of belarus to step down we've seen daily action but this is it because it's

a sunday and this has become sort of a traditional saying for them have to say a couple words about some pro-government action that the capital of better us has seen essentially that have been opposing actions. between both the anti government and the pro-government protesters have been books to end 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 change shame they're saying that you swore an oath to serve and protect this country you 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 look at this sea of people and let my cameraman just show you over there look how far it has stretched out along the road.

this stella is a sort of a symbolic it has become a regular i a routine venue for people to come out and mass and vent their anger now where they're coming from over there in that direction is the presidential residence the . the presidency of the well incumbent president alexander lukashenko and it's his birthday today so but these people weren't wishing him a happy birthday here they were wishing him a quick departure from power because they have been demanding fair elections they do not believe that these elections have been fast. thursday mark to get a sense an american woman allegedly killed teenager harry done in a road accident and they gave k. and then fled the country i had a verse free of harry's death britain's attorney general suggested the diplomat's wife could 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 ansa colas she left the country claiming diplomatic immunity and was later charged with causing death by dangerous driving parents say they won't abandon their fight for justice. they spoke with our teens shaadi edwards dashti. the hardest thing for me is having no control over when you're going to cry i know the community go i. don't show emotions are easy but since i was going it can strike the most smallest thing i know i'll just start crying or calm myself as much film. and the frustration i feel because our come on congress. any feels like yesterday since i think if it's terrorists think it's the same lane. nobody. can. feel like. harry spammy or 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 the list 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. the family at the base cannot be prosecuted going forward thankfully with the

carries on and then then in the trace 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 tilton it it's the crime such as once phyllis. has done and walk free is a proud to know that. is part of the new rule in history books thankfully that cherry's some of ours 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 injustice 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 i will call way a year on from harry's death the family is still on able to come to terms with that loss. result. are truly. a special special not. the lust for life he enjoyed life enjoyed meeting people he was larger than life as they say he was he was they were i. couldn't be more proud of a so since long before last the primary school. and i were 10. and this is not true is that you can still do. this beat it was beautiful. inside and out and. you

could. still not quite that it would. be hung on the wall. and you know about that. and it can't. this is. more of the week's biggest stories on the way as russia finds itself repeatedly accused in the media a poison in prominent opposition activists alexina about the kremlin says no one should be jumping to conclusions we'll have more on that after the break.

leg. length. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to let it be an arms race of this on off and spearing dramatic development that only really going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

hello again throughout the week the kremlin's faced repeated accusations from both western officials and the media of poisoning a prominent opposition activist alexina valmy fell seriously ill on a flight in siberia 10 days ago was airlifted to berlin for treatment such detail has been assessing the unfolding blame game since. 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 would say valley fell ill on the flight to moscow forcing the paid to make. to hurry on twitter hosts the top numerous toxicology tests were run all the results came back negative on the well known for a wide spectrum of synthetic substances including inhibitors or negative also on admission to the hospital there was no clinical picture specific to the call in

a series inhibitor group fast forward a few days new valise still it induced coma had been allocated to a specialist. more tests were run and it can call for the column 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 data to better understand the initial findings of their job and 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 help it was not until the fall he is 20 twentieth's again a script out it was the kremlin but it was due to himself the question is are the germans prepared to share their findings all of the look at all of our trip findings there will be medical tests that they undertook on the problem the are

they prepared to share them with the russian doctors if they're not if they try to do work to reason made did with discrete piles and offer no cooperation whatsoever with the russian authorities so the russians could make an independent assessment of what the german scientists have found that it's hard to see where the russians or any are under any obligation to conduct a full investigation i say look we don't know that he was poisoned 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 sanctions to make previous sanctions 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 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 for i'm going to pull those who has been fighting to keep north stream 2 alive despite the best efforts of subs may says this is neither the time nor the place to be talking gas go with us because i think that we should do a couple of these issues and in our opinion north stream to should be completed nobody builds a pipeline just to n.r. somebody a pipeline is built because it is the him. it's sad the 2nd part of the pipeline and that was initiated in 2000 try we saw this 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 last 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 year as i still went into these 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 division is identified if it's determined that it was an intentional act of poisoning then of course it would give grounds for an investigation no delves so far there are also many other medical versions as to what could have caused novell needs 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 thought the findings of the praises heat of those doctors and the lead. the medical professionals who initially treated me are 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 livonian and obviously those threats were not his fault one would think that until the final. and then the bar actually turns off it's like that's the only thing one could do is worse than speedy recovery but it seems that here any conclusive medical diagnosis has already been spun into a pre-determined political one. families of british health workers who lost their lives on the front line to covert have been warned that they could lose their

welfare benefits if they accept compensation from the government it's because the 60000 pounds lump sum on offer will be treated as capital in means tested benefits by could leave them ineligible for payments such as the low income top of payment known as universal credit as well as housing or pension benefit critics say though that it's deeply unfair on the loved ones of people who died trying to save others . the government was right to say we must honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so it's shocking that families are being forced to choose between accessing social security they're entitled to all the compensation they need the british government though insists that such benefits of always been calculated the same way the principle being the payments only go to those who can't meet basic needs but a senior health consultant says such an approach hardly encourages workers to put their lives on the line. that was very unfortunate and it took a long time for the present the bodies of all the health care workers to negotiate

this with the government and then to subsequently find that it is going to be treated as capital is a step backwards it should just be a payment and we must remember people die as a result of being in the front line saving lives and often in circumstances where they're working with inadequate p.p. so they are really truly honestly putting themselves not very much in the front line in danger and the a lot of guns should not be also been allies just because they received 860000 bombs paint 60000 pounds does not look very far in our current law and therefore it just is a payment for somebody who has put their lives in the front line it should not their fault be for that penalized for it you've got a capital we're not going to help you if this comes to be what will happen is then health care workers may make a choice to say you know what come to think about it i don't want to put myself in

the front line that would be also a negative backward step. to add insult to injury for many a small payoff from the government brought state health care workers onto the streets on wednesday last month the government announced a 3 point one percent pay rise for almost 900000 public sector staff health workers though had been demanding 15 percent to make up for years of shortfall even worse many aren't even on the pay rise list and that includes national health service porters cleaners and nurses. government predicting that we're going to have enough . no i don't think if you think that we're going to go back on the battlefield without action i'm sorry but it's not really worth risking our lives to go and. when we're actually putting ourselves at risk too many of our colleagues at the white it specially the black nurses. you cannot expect to send us back on our field without the texture unfortunately

a lot of us will not work in that period. that's the way for the next insight into america's worst a manmade epidemic and the human cost of the country's opioid crisis.

throughout its history just how just with the self-proclaimed islamic state terrorist group of recruited up 230000 following us from all over the world to find fault. in this. sounds of russian citizens left their country to join the terrorists often bringing wives and children with them. when he is not c.s. and above ideas imposed on you you see me as and you could no. more new to the. hundreds of children and widows were held captive all disappeared. as a black. teens. back in

russia those children's families wait them search for them. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. do no harm and shattered my deal. in this episode we explore the ignorance and greed that led to our current crisis one of the 1st and.
