2:02 am
officers injured with several arrests made. thank. you. so you. know. the old routine what are you doing yet we are outside the 18th precinct here this is the closest police station to where walter wallace was killed protesters literally moments ago just clash with police they are going up in their faces yelling no justice no peace and also profanity this all stemming from a shooting of a black man in broad daylight around 4 pm monday afternoon now we've seen across the city looting has happened as far as a mile and a half all the way to 5 miles away from the city i talked to business owners earlier today who say that they saw this months ago during the george floyd protest
2:03 am
however they never imagined this in their city one business even saying that they lost a total of $500000.00 in damages so again businesses really rallying together trying to even hire their own security guards knowing that when the police get called to go somewhere else who's going to be there to save them now again this also i mean from the shooting of walter wallace you have the mayor and the police commissioner now saying that they want to meet with the wallace family and the police headquarters actually releasing a statement saying that they're asking everyone to be patient as they investigate this situation and also asking for those to have any other thoughts and prayers with walter wallace and his family for right now reporting in west philadelphia there in fronsac archie. the recent arrest after 27 year old wall to wall by an officer after he charged a place with a knife well this has suffered from bipolar disorder and already had multiple run ins with the law many have again raised concerns that police are not equipped to
2:04 am
deal with such cases. we heard from a former retired u.s. marshal and a civil rights lawyer pointed longstanding drawbacks of the american system. when you get a call to 911 call police officers on a rival to see that if you happen to have a psychologist gets along what we train person to be there is where that would be great that's 100 percent what you want but in a situation like this you've got to really act in all i'm saying is the man did have and i did tell them and you can see some of the man to stop now the man continued movement forcing the issue becomes when do you shoot and again i see it over and over again i think from just my vantage point i wasn't there on the scene it looked like i had a little more time to wait and i've seen this happen over and over again wait to see it like white folks are not shy about off since the same way they are when you talk about people of color in these neighborhoods not think that's why you had this product that's well all right now to read a crime to you but people are just tired of seeing it and then when you have an
2:05 am
instance when also east totally justified it's almost like people don't want to hear it anymore because they've seen it happen and what it wanted and when year after year decade after decade there are cries for help cries for change demands that policy be changed to protect communities and nothing happens it spills over into an event such as this ferguson didn't happen in one day and with one killing for being great did not happen in one day and will end with one killing and similarly this is not about this one individual but about a broken system and the number of times people witness this or experience this experience this themselves and now finally it is this is the boiling point in the summer of racial reckoning in america where finally we have to address these inborn of the systemic issues that people are finally demanding change for so nobody condones writing no one condones moving but it's almost like something said what happened to a bring the furred and at the end he said it oh so i think what we have to start
2:06 am
talking about is what are going to be the legislative. change the these issues going forward who will handle this as a systemic issue president obama didn't do so present from has done so president clinton president bush did not do so going back to him and he'll no one has done anything to address these on systemic level so how can we change policing how can we change the relationship between communities and between the those who are thought to protect and serve them how can we best is your tax dollars so the communities are not simply feel on her and represented by their elected officials so these are multi-faceted multi-generational issues that are now boiling 'd over boil over it will get people's attention but people on the pay attention to the pot boiling and. the presidential election just days away now the democrat nominee joe biden has called on the international community significantly expand its sanctions on the by the russian leadership his rival don't trample ready applied his own penalties on its earlier this month and
2:07 am
a scale i'm open explain strumpet bud's views on foreign policy are often similar. the trump administration has imposed sanctions like mad country after country that has earned washington's ire has been hit with banking isolation trade restrictions and other acts that amount to basically economic warfare no president in all of us history has imposed as many economic sanctions as us president donald trump now will this change under joe biden let's examine it from a case by case basis. will iran get sanctions relief with joe in the white house he says no we will continue to use targeted sanctions against iran's human rights abuses its support for terrorism and ballistic missile program. trump's trade war with china is his crowning achievement but by he has no intention of undoing it in fact his rhetoric on the issue is about the same as trump's we need to get tough which. is china has its way it's going to keep
2:08 am
it's going to keep moving and robin u.s. firms for technology intellectual property and force companies to give away give it away in order to do business in china we are now make it it clear to china. that after years of targeting our industries and stealing our intellectual property the theft of american jobs and wealth. has come to an end when it comes to trade wars biden's hands could be tied there's so much anti china rhetoric he couldn't just lift the tariffs different sauce but the same general position i will use tariffs when they are needed but the difference between me and trump is that i will have a strategy a plan to use those tariffs to win not just a fake toughness were taken in right now hundreds of billions of dollars we're taking in billions of dollars of tariffs what we've done thus far with china would
2:09 am
never take it and $0.10 until i got elected now would take it in billions and billions. another hotspot venezuela where donald trump and joe biden take identical positions they both support kwan guede o. the unelected self-proclaimed president of venezuela and they want out biden once more sanctions on venezuela not less the u.s. should push for stronger multilateral sanctions so that supporters of the regime cannot live studies show or hide their assets in the united states europe or latin america. then there is washington's biggest ally in europe they are not happy with donald trump's stance on nato and germany is not particularly pleased with the white house's efforts to kill the nord stream to pipeline either with tensions rising the german foreign minister says that not much will really
2:10 am
change in that department under a new administration those in europe who are now betting everything on a change in the white house should be prepared for the fact that even in that case it will not be as comfortable as it once was u.s. foreign and security policy has changed and not just since strong became president if you scour recent history it's pretty hard to find an example of sanctions actually working but lack of results does not seem to be a factor biden seems like he will be just as committed to these policies as donald trump cable. r.t. new york. the french interior minister is warning of possible terror attacks within the country that is anti france sentiment intensifies in muslim communities amid a crackdown on suspected islamists he also revealed that this campaign would be stepped up targeting groups promoting radical islam it has if it was good as in the level of terrorist threats in france is very high because we have
2:11 am
a lot of enemies within and outside the country it's hard because of the charlie hebdo trial and other terrorist trials which are underway there are existing threats confusing at times but there are a lot of them i think each of us should be shocked to see there are some foreign powers think that france's muslims belong to them what gives them the right to meddle in our business but what is also advising is citizens living in our traveling to muslim countries to exercise caution that's after protests erupted abroad over the french government's defense of freedom of expression this in the wake of the recent murder of a teacher in czerny's class characters of the prophet mohammed. it is recommended to exercise the greatest vigilance especially while traveling and in places that are frequented by tourists or expatriate communities this warning has been issued for those traveling and living in some muslim majority countries and it comes as there are rising tensions between france and those countries over comments made by
2:12 am
president in the wake of that terror attack the beheading of teacher patty president said he would defend the right to show controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed now there is this huge anti sentiment that is is sparked up in the wake of that with protests now in many majority muslim countries with some a burning effigies of president back on and of course from boycott on french products of her hat i was having an ad and half and half and half half. it was bad for am
2:13 am
or present back or has refused to step down over this comment which would perhaps defuse this situation and he has been accused of with being up anti muslim sentiment and that's because in the wake of that terror attack there has been a crackdown on muslim associations and of mosques that are all said to have extremist sympathies here in france and there's already been some repercussions seen with attacks being investigated including attack that took place last week in order in the west of france and that was against 2 jordanians a brother and a sister who were quite hospital treatment they. see they were attacked because they were speaking arabic now the charge against present macron has been led by the turkish president president hu on who suggested twice in recent days that matter corn needs a mental health track but even here in france some muslim association say that they do not want these quantrill herschel cartoons to be shown in schools between
2:14 am
freedom of expression and the deliberate will to offend the feelings of muslims there is the duty of brotherhood and responsibility there's also a growing fear here in france one poll recently showed that 79 percent of people who responded to that really believed that islam is some had declared one on the country of france and the recalls for increased vigilance particularly around places of worship and in gatherings and that warning comes from france's director general of the national police who believes that the terror threat here is particularly high in the wake of all of this this route between france and muslim majority countries seems to be widening every day and it's spilling out now into some very serious consequences. was part of its response to the high risk of terrorism france's increasing security at religious sites that are out of the old could center for political studies in amman where is the crackdown on religious
2:15 am
extremists may be perceived as an attack on islam. it seems that we are down the back of this clash of civilization and a struggle between really just discourse this is not good for the partition between the 2 short shorts of the media today and this it creates a lot of problems out upwards and it's a relationship with the european and its mission with air france france should be very much careful differentiating between right because these 2 groups imagine the muslim community and you would have been the last 20 or 25 years and the muslim communities are different you mentioned very much so it could oceania and this video time. precious time with auntie joining me for more news after this short break.
2:16 am
join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics score business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or sinks. we. ask. normally speaking the role of the media is to inform the public this mission is now
2:17 am
on hold large parts of the media landscape particularly big to believe. what the public can do and has controlled speech please freedom of speech. welcome back russia has applied to the world health organization for an emergency license for its cope with job it's one of the 1st countries to do so if approved spending v will become available globally soon and the drug was developed at moscow's galilei institute is currently in the final stage of trials with $55000.00 volunteers taking part in russia alone trials are also being run in several other countries including saudi arabia the u.a.e. brazil and india meanwhile here in russia infection rates are once again soaring recently hitting more than $16000.00 cases in a 24 hour period local authorities in moscow are reluctant to impose
2:18 am
a total lockdown taking us through developments his arteries. well we're russia still seems to be far from a full lockdown however the numbers aren't looking good at all we have a new record $16550.00 new cases of corona virus and that is just in one day and plus $320.00 deaths russia has not seen such numbers in the spring so this is the worst statistic since the outbreak of the pandemic the regions are suffering more and more and the government authorities are being forced to act so starting from this we all russians in all corners of the countries will be obliged to wear masks in all public places not everyone is happy though and this explains some difficult situations and instances like this one when the a public transport worker was attacked by a passenger for demanding to wear
2:19 am
a mask and it's these kind of cases that once again show that the people aren't willing to come back to full log downs and they're sick and tired of the restrictions now here's something else the russian health watchdog has recommended instead of making it a rule for now the authority once the russian regions to shut the doors of bars and nightclubs from 11 pm to 6 am but for now like i said it's not an obligation in st petersburg this decision has already been made but moscow authorities for instance aren't willing to go that far just yet they have introduced a special q.r. code systems someone tests positive for covert then everyone else who was around that person will get a notification via s.m.s. that they need to be careful or that they need to go through a covert test the special hospital and southwest moscow that was 1st to begin
2:20 am
treating coronavirus patients and this country has set up the largest cove it emerged. see and treatment unit in the country so this is good and bad news at the same time because this only shows that the demand for such units in the country is growing now if you look at russian regions for example and some are that's one of russia's biggest cities in between moscow and siberia medical students are being sent to help out the older generation and here's what we heard from some of them in with their special we stand aside while our colleagues are working in clinics and middling of my views will reach a significantly since the 1st day when i came here to work at a hospital i'm not a child anymore so i don't feel like a student in the meantime we've received an update from the russian foreign ministry that says that surrogate of the country's number one diplomat is in self isolation after having contacted a person who tested positive for
2:21 am
a covert meanwhile protests are into the 2nd day in italy's capital rome over toughened covert restrictions police there resorted to water come and tear gas to disperse crowds the protest on tuesday also turned ugly smoke bombs were let off and bottles filled with the police the city of milan also saw on rust with riot offices they're using tear gas. a berlin art school has found itself at the center of a debate over what constitutes anti semitism and this is after it pulled funding for a program run by jewish israeli artists and scholars this look to questions zionism the ideology at the core of the israeli state of the artist behind it explained its importance. the practice of on learning is related to looking at power relations and your own role within them in order to dismantle had gemini and be partners in struggles for equality we must have this conversation amongst ourselves the israeli embassy got involved and said the program questioned the right of israel to exist
2:22 am
as a state and should be stopped the art school receive state funding and as such opposition politicians say this particular program cannot and should not take place there. the question is if such an event can be entitled to government funding nobody has said this is a bunch of bands but the state doesn't have to support something like that but the organizers feel the art school has caved in to pressure apply to them really important moments of growing and learning together have been happening in this space and then this institution comes in sense we need to talk differently or go back to israel where it's not a problem the organizers of the program say take just want to have a discussion about israel and its place in the molten middle east through both israeli and palestinian but it seems on this occasion it's not a discussion that's going to be able to happen at an institution that receives

2:25 am
nomination in the context of trump's electoral strategy because he certainly sees the supreme court as a critical element of his efforts to undermine the results of the election and maintain power whatever happens in the popular vote the democrats are really terrified of the development of a real popular movement against from since we're a season there really covering up the far reaching significance of what the president of the united states is doing in threatening the process of the vote itself the real question is the development of mass popular opposition not only to trump but to the ruling class policy that you represents a financial oligarchy in the united states but certainly the appointment of barry as a new home mark in the destruction of democratic rights in the united states and a real warning to the working people in this country and throughout the world. with
