aspiring 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 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 buy lots of bloodshed we are seeing in these and other 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
6:06 pm
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 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
6:07 pm
when are we going to make republicans do their jobs when do we continued 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
6:08 pm
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 is involved 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 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 flowing through that and you've got you've got the republican side saying that it's
6:09 pm

6:11 pm
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 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 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 and.
6:12 pm
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 of the. the presidency of the well incumbent president alexander lukashenko and it's his birthday today still 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 fair. thursday market here since an american woman allegedly killed teenager harry done in a road accident in the u.k. and then fled the country on the anniversary of harry's death britain's attorney general suggested the diplomat's wife could face a virtual trial how he died when his motorbike was hit by a car reportedly being driven on the wrong side of the road by ansa colas she left

6:14 pm
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 the 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. family at the base cannot be prosecuted going forward thankfully with the carries on and then than in the trace a few weeks back absolutely every

6:16 pm
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 they enjoyed life enjoyed meeting people he was larger than life as they say was he were they were. could have been more proud of a son. or before lost the primary school. over 10. and this is not true is that you can still see. the speech from the who was. inside and out and.
6:17 pm
still not quite the scapegoat. and on the walls. and you know that. and can't. see we've got more of the week's biggest stories on the way because russia finds itself repeatedly accused in the media of poisoning prominent opposition activists alexina valmy the kremlin says the no one should be jumping to conclusions we'll have more on that for you off the break. seemed wrong. why don't we just don't call. me cold yet to say proud disdain become educated and gain from it equals betrayal.
6:18 pm
when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. dramatic. very.
6:19 pm
hello again throughout the week the kremlin's faced repeated accusations from both western officials and the media of poisoning a prominent opposition activists alexina valmy fell seriously ill on a flight in siberia 10 days ago and was later airlifted to berlin for treatment. 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 say valley fell ill on a flight to moscow forcing the k. to make a must learn to tell 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 call in a series inhibitor group fast forward a few days new valise still in interest coma had been airlifted to
6:20 pm
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 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 who it's best to believe so don't even need to wait for the final results after all but it's all just for have put it was not in charge of ali is 20 twentieth's a good script how big was the kremlin in fact it was who to himself the question is are the germans prepared to share their findings all of the. names their pool all the medical tests that they undertook on their own the are they prepared to share them with the russian doctors if they're no if they try to do work to
6:21 pm
reason made did with discrete piles 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 of pound then it's hard to see where the russians or any are under any obligation to conduct the investigation or 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 entire a unrelated project but i'm increasingly convinced the germany should pull out of the north 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
6:22 pm
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 a life despite the best efforts of nation has this is neither the time nor the place to be talking gas. i think that we should be a couple of 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 this same argue man same goals year 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 trial and training situation i would say is that a bit more different from at last 2 years ago and i don't see how the old speaking
6:23 pm
notes which we have been hearing from u.s. officials over the last few years are still when it into these 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 and. yes to gay shit which the credit has already said will happen 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 dealt so far there are also many other medical versions as to what could have caused of on this condition despite a preliminary investigation that was initiated zoe is or was the 20th no evidence of an intentional criminal act against a 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 initially
6:24 pm
treat me are getting quite the say respect. 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 of owning an obviously those threats were not his fault one would think that until the final result actually turns office lights the only thing one could do is wish. his speedy recovery but it seems that here and in conclusive medical diagnosis has already been spun into a pre-determined political one. the 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
6:25 pm
benefits and that could leave them ineligible for payments such as the low income top up payment known as universal credit as well as housing or pension benefit critics say that is deeply unfair to 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 their insists that such benefits of always been calculated the same way the principle being the payments only go to those who cannot me 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 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
6:26 pm
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 are working with inadequate p.p. so they are really truly honestly bleeding and so i'm not very much in the front line in danger and their loved ones should not be also being that ised just because they received 860000 bombs payment 60000 pounds does not little very far in our current lot 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 with it you've got a capital we're not going to do 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 all saw a negative backward step. to add insult to injury for many
6:27 pm
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 shore for even worse many aren't even on the pay rise list and that includes national health service porters cleaners and nurses. government critics in that way and i have a number. it's 19 if you think that we're going to go back on the battlefield about section i'm sorry it's not really worth risking our lives to go and. when we actually put ourselves at risk too many of our colleagues in the i especially the black nurses. you cannot expect to send us back on our field without the texture of unfortunately a lot of us who are not working that period. and that's the way for this hour and all from a done whole concession next edition in just over half an hour from now after we
