around the clock across the world this is. your time for the news update our top story. the police officer who fatally shot a black man on sunday is to be charged with manslaughter it follows 3 days of protests in the city of brooklyn center demonstrators have been calling for justice for he was shot when attempting to flee for a traffic violation. protests ended in clashes with police of tear gas being. protests rising also in portland where the police union building it was set on fire made the rest at people and some of the protesters were seen from machine rifles and the main section of the crowd marched on the streets chanting police brutality slogans while the scenes in the aftermath of wright's death in brooklyn center were reminiscent of the chaos

4:04 pm
it looks like it's happening again the killing of dante wright was shot by a police officer has sparked a new wave of protests anger is boiling over stores are being looted but this time some store owners are saying they're not ready to just be victims their arms to the teeth again peaceful protest to express yourself we fully support that. but the ravaging our businesses the looting of our stores. the destruction to our pharmacies we cannot tolerate that just like last summer calls to defund the police or getting support from politicians an accidental discharge that kills someone has another name manslaughter we don't need police with lethal weapons carrying out routine traffic stops re allocate police funding to traffic forces to remove even the possibility of state sanctioned manslaughter it wasn't an accident policing in
4:05 pm
our country is inherently and intentionally racist done to right was met with aggression and violence i'm done with those who condone government funded murder. no more policing incarceration and military zation it can't be reformed the reputation of law enforcement is once again in the spotlight with the unrest now growing many wonder how much of the community will get destroyed in the coming outrage and analysts wave of protests and looting sparked by the very same people expected to defend u.s. citizens people are misperceiving this as an organic uprising against you know legitimate anger against the police when what it is is i think organizations such as b.l.m. and. exploiting the situations that arise slapping their narrative on it and then attacking the police for it they want to try to make some concessions and say ok we can use some reform or we're going basically what it is if people
4:06 pm
want the police to get you know better training and to you know what and that that sort of thing that makes sense to me but to just come up with a false narrative that's not backed by any evidence at all and then to say oh they need to reform that just goes a step too far if they can show the evidence that we need to reform not anecdotal situations that they're manipulating into something the police did wrong then you know we're up for it but to try to just come with these false narrative and try to exploit them to you know is acquired by federalize the local police departments or to you know put it at a disadvantage in facing criminals you know we're just not going to go for that. another big announcement today the longest war in american history could be over by mid september joe biden and once the 11th of the month as the date of the complete withdrawal of u.s. troops from afghanistan they had stayed in the country too long we
4:07 pm
delivered justice to ben ladan a decade ago and we've stayed never again to stand for a decade sense. sense than our readers remained in afghanistan becoming increasingly unclear we cannot continue the cycle of the extended or expanding our military presence in afghanistan hoping to create ideal conditions for the drawl and expecting a different result the date is however months over the deadline set by a deal reached between the taleban former us president donald trump in response the militant group reiterated its warning against extending the presence of u.s. troops saying it would come poland problems earlier this week the taleban said they will not attend planned talks in turkey until all foreign forces leave afghanistan of september 11th this year will mark the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the u.s. which left almost 3000 people dead the u.s.
4:08 pm
then went into afghanistan dispensable to prevent terrorists from launching more assaults from the country. well let's get some reaction to today's news from former pentagon security analyst michael maloof you're very welcome michael is this really the end of america's longest war do you think. i think formally with u.s. troops it probably will be we might instead introduce private military contractors to try to preserve the. the government which we created because taliban has made it very clear they don't want to talk to them what to set up their own emirates in afghanistan but that is the half of it even though they only control a portion of afghanistan used to have other tribes the northern alliance for example the once a piece of the piece of the action and corruption run supreme's of the country could easily dissolve into a civil war i think the the countries that will be that will stand to
4:09 pm
lose the most will be those countries in the region with us pull out that really help countries such as russia and china not to devote resources to try to keep that government working the problem is that they're going to have to deal with this now if the u.s. leaves altogether and it and that means in terms of the security aspects because of the terrorism threat al qaeda is is growing in afghanistan as is isis and that would be a threat to the federation's homeland and i think that countries in that region are going to have to get together and come up with a security arrangement to insure against the possibility if u.s. withdrawals and it looks like biden wants to withdraw he wanted to withdraw one when he was vice president under obama and obama actually increased troop levels up
4:10 pm
to 98000 i was going to mention that what has been hampering then the process of the patrol of troops why didn't the u.s. leave earlier was there more michael than just peace and diplomacy issues at play. well i was trying to it was just it was tried to keep a a u.s. presence in the region that shoot to counter not only russia but also china and iran and also to try and keep their government working as long as a candidate it's on life support right now in fact given all of its issues and the taliban has made it very clear that they will not deal with that government and police and the taliban cannot guarantee either what the u.s. wants and that is to stop al qaeda or isis from attacking the u.s. homeland so the question is going to be what will the what will we have what will the u.s. have to do and you cannot we the united states will be very and
4:11 pm
a very difficult position to try and do anything to counter an embedded al qaeda or. or isis which is actually create in the province up in the northeastern part and again the they are actually direct threats to china and to russia more than they would be to the united states at the moment and so i think it's something where the regional countries are going to have to gather come up with a security gram can i just touch upon the taliban itself to do you think the taliban leaders are going to be satisfied will the mic any movement on their stance with this new day from what they've said before it. well they wanted us out by 1 may that that agreement. and they are threatening once again u.s. troops and of course the u.s. will respond to any attacks on u.s. forces but it's logistically going to take time to move out the $4500.00 troops that are still remaining there so it's going to take time and that's why i think by
4:12 pm
the. september 2021 as the date to move them out but but it in that in that period of time however if there are attacks on u.s. u.s. forces the u.s. will respond but i think the taliban continue attacking taliban attack on the government says it can i ask you a very simplistic question if if all the foreign troops and i think there is some over 20 countries involved there michael at the moment if feel left afghanistan with the country be a better place or are known i know i think it's going to devolve back into a civil war environment very very rapidly because you're going to create a political void it's going to you're going to see al qaeda and. and basically set up afghanistan as their new. area for as an emirate if you will
4:13 pm
and work out of there and tell a bomb is going to help accommodate that but again taliban only controls a little over 50 percent of the country who controls the rest of it are the competing tribes and they're going to they're going to want to be involved in trying to deal with the in setting up and the government in control and it could could afghanistan be split up alternately as a as a country ultimately i don't know but again what happens in afghanistan is going to have a security implication on the neighboring countries particularly with russia and china and pakistan so i think that those and indeed those countries are going to have to get together and do something so many issues at play thanks for giving us insight to some of them former pentagon security analyst michael maloof thank you in. it is the news network who slogan mix the bold claim it's the most trusted media but after a c.n.n.
4:14 pm
director was caught in a sting operation questions have been raised if else really the case don't quarter picks up the story. the most trusted name in news it's a title c.n.n. has long prided itself on maybe you buy it maybe you don't but what would you think if the network admin did to deliberately spreading propaganda well apparently they did i do you. believe that it was. but again you were creating a story that we didn't know anything about. that's b.s. i think that he is the worst president we have ever seen but what president trump just said was undemocratic and false the president seems to think that dominating black people dominating peaceful protesters is law and order it's not he calls them thugs who's the thug here this guy is should not be president cnn's charlie chester's spilled the beans over
4:15 pm
a tender date he was enticed into by an undercover project veritas journalist and he claimed the channel long had a pre-determined agenda to get trump out of office one that flows from the top down from none other than c.n.n. president jeff zucker himself naturally trying to make joe biden out to be a spring chicken was the other side of the anti trump propaganda coing yeah i mean really we didn't write. this. i don't know what he's shaking or whatever and we brought in like so many medical people so like all tell a story like this is all speculation you know you're shocked to hear john. mccain. you know why. he made you savior she. hated me as a. young period sure. sounds a lot like election meddling something c.n.n. has pointed the finger at russia for time and time again blaming on unverifiable
4:16 pm
claims from u.s. intelligence and its reputation as evidence the. in last year's elections the network claimed that moscow was trying to hurt joe biden's chances by spreading conspiracy theories about the now u.s. president i'm talking about russia attacking our election russia once again interfered in the race for the white house russia is indeed interfering in the 2020 election with a kind of a double standard it should come as no surprise that people's trust for c.n.n. is on the decline but we don't think that this is all the personal attacks just. makes this worse when you're caught red handed hiding the way you do business from your viewers that's one thing but accusing someone else for breaking the very rules you yourself were caught breaking well that's another it's a rinky dink 2 bit organization what do you want it c.n.n. that scare defends immunised from any responsibility because nobody takes them
4:17 pm
seriously and as far as project very jealous and james o'keefe god bless him but how many exposé these must be produced before something's done things done and nothing jeff zucker still there everybody still there but let me explain something to their ratings are plummeting who wants to watch c.n.n. if there's no trunk what do you do talk about what a great job biden is knowing what a great job camelot harris story i don't think so now me we can't believe what we're seeing and our country is in complete collapse with our borders being destroyed and being invaded daily with crime around with a sense of on nimby leave a bill distrust with with vaccine efficacy vaccine malpractise with this anyway and years nothing for them to do build up what are they going to do hey joe biden is doing
4:18 pm
a great job nobody thinks that where is by if you know where he is so. james o'keefe and project very may get their wish by virtue of the implosion that i believe c.n.n. is involved in as we speak. we have contacted c.n.n. for comment on the story and will bring you any response we get. so i head to a controversial separatism the french parliament for potentially limiting the freedoms of muslims but others say the move is long overdue a story and more after this.
4:20 pm
just approaching 20 minutes into the program welcome back muslims and from cues in the government of trying to control every aspect of their lives from what they were to how they school their children it centers around a bill recently adopted in the 1st reading in the senate the stated aim of the draft law is to bolster republican principles to combat separatist tendencies in society here start teach charlatans. france's plans to defeat separatism have already caused alarm bells to ring particularly amongst the muslim community they've said that the north seeks to divide and could provoke hatred of muslims now the country senators voted to make an already controversial bill well explosive in
4:21 pm
a bid to fight against extremism senators adopted measures including a ban on parents wearing visible religious symbols if their company children are old school trips essentially a ban on he jobs or skullcaps the book he would be banned public swimming pools prayers would be banned on the university premises so too would any display of a foreign flag as a wedding artist and of course the reaction is what's next and look you can no longer speak of a functioning democracy in france given all these measure is this if you're a minority but more generally these laws are best that they apply to everyone so yes there is a state of excitement. and that was human rights and the centrist. government that you have with him only we must hold all. of the good stuff i hate
4:22 pm
against human rights and civil liberties in france who look at this situation and say france is not a war was going by the british this is definitely a political. war i guess the text also mentions a ban on young girls wearing a hijab in public places that sparked a flurry of anger on social media sparking the hash tag hands off my good japp principal hosts the generation equality forum later this year but in this scene time is legislators continue to entrench the rights of muslim women stop treating women as a 2nd ignorant class women can dress the way they want. the hitch a ban is not on the offensive to muslim women it's offensive to all women what is the difference between those who impose. a specific government and women like that but he goes. and the people who want to impose that up with women what they can wear i cannot wear i see absolutely no difference so in the case of muslim women
4:23 pm
there are seen either as victims or that the white men should and if she says but go this is my body and i should decide to when i want to wear and what not to wear she is treated as a prince and i was a nun i of the most obscurities or the most for the work that is for us is and there was also a last minute amendment that was did by the interior minister i requested by president macro that will allow authorities to stop of foreign organizations from setting up private schools in france what's happening today is a we see i read the book critique a game anytime with freedom of muslims or with should they change the rules of the games in order for muslims to be that conflict with us in order for them to not profit off either to the quality of brotherhood the proposed nor has also been condemned by human rights groups such as amnesty international this proposed law
4:24 pm
would be a serious attack on rights and freedoms in france he would allow public authorities to fund only organizations which sign a contract of republican commitment a vaguely defined concept which is wide open to abuse and threatens the very freedoms of expression and association the french authorities claim to stand for the bill isn't yet certain to pass in its current form there are still discussions to be had which could see that some of these controversial amendments would be dropped in the future but it comes at a time when muslims say that they already feel stigmatized and there is real concern that this secular. bush could be weaponized by extremists creeps. us pharma giant pfizer the price for future orders of its co bid $195.00 seen according to bulgaria's prime minister the cost if it goes ahead could be more than 60 percent higher than original. $23.00 per dose that works out about 19 and
4:25 pm
a half euro the e.u. is seeking a new vaccine supply contract with pfizer for next year meaning the price hike would be in place now and march company heads did indicate a possible rise in prices post demick well a school lies to martin don't remember the left party in germany very welcome the european union seems to agreed to this new price set by pfizer for its 2022 contract do you share this eagerness. we must say it's a little bit of a cynic to make money on this underneath. you can see you're in germany we have a saying you can see the dollar bills in the ice and if you see the. president of the biotech company you can see clearly he's looking for profit and he's not.
4:26 pm
and i think in the pandemic all organizations short rope together and it's clear becomes more and more clear that this state should be in control of the pharmaceutical industry pulls a fast life on the street is playing with the halves of the people by raising prices and so will of course the poorer countries will not be able to create it and there should be along much cheaper of course of the wittiest to produce the vaccine and there are there not only should be there are much cheaper possibilities of production. i think that's any. pharmaceutical companies i don't think anybody's arguing that they shouldn't be able to make a profit in order for further research development perhaps even fight against new strains or variants but this would be a particularly large profit margin it yes it's very much if you compare for example
4:27 pm
to the price of the sputnik you know the scene. to the open tent of the cuban that seeing then you can see they just earned nearly double the price it's like they are they just want to make a profit for the whole 'd and there should be some kind of career lieschen in between fantasizing industry and the health of society and now when you see the other way it seems like a straw cynic johnson and johnson. lots then you have to be responsible and you have to see how to groom. the vaccination worldwide and as well there's a 2nd there is the responsibility of the state as well to build up the health system there are there is a lot of money given to big companies not homicide other companies can't keep
4:28 pm
profits then there is less money spent in the system for example in germany during the last year they have been trained t. hospitals lost and 6000 places in intensive care have been killed as well in spite of the pandemic so we can see. the saudi industry is doing a cynical profit policies that are down and this is not doing the crop qualities too good at the system to change that otherwise there will be much more people. confronted him with the sort of then i would just point i throw a martin that pfizer and johnson and johnson would say about they're doing further investigations into those blood carts on the do not acknowledge that it's directly linked to the drug but of course i accept your point on on what you mean by that and in fact all not very point is it possible to say is it's too much or is
4:29 pm
a hyperbole to say that pfizer is becoming a monopoly in the eve. of because as you say astra zeneca is going through its troubles russia sputnik v. has not been given the ok yet by the european medical and medical air and sea so even if you've got a situation where perhaps you've got one company able to opt that price and people have to buy up right now as. you know it's a tendency to that at least when you see the european commission already decided. to buy the vaccine anyway doesn't matter what it costs and doesn't. like samples that we doesn't a knowledge that cuba seem can be kind of monopoly on this luckily situation it's dangerous because of course we have to make research but we shook research and we said we should as well trust the research randy look at this from the. industry
4:30 pm
have to trust research but as well you have to trust the research of the scientists if you look in germany now the government is thinking of doing a curfew in general from 9 o'clock in the evening that people can go out but the scientists are clearly did a petition to the german government that in a fresh out nearly no long 'd disinfecting himself so this curfew doesn't tell anything to stop the pandemic incidence numberous so we have to look for creative scientific i do use and we have to look for research for medicaments and for 'd as well forward scenes but we should put money as well in the research traumatic and that's because not only that seem to be the only treatment we see there is another medic and that in my i've got a scar for example which can heal.
