. residents of the german village don't know whether to laugh or cry as different covert restrictions apply depending on what side of the street they're on. the rules should be deceived everywhere of course is difficult to keep trash that's why sometimes people you forget about the schools have to be closed because then the wrong group district. oh very well welcome to you and good morning you're watching r t international with me karen. sex assaults on destruction of life on an appalling scaling clipping of children that's the harrowing testimony exposed in a new report finding france enabled the genocide of hundreds of thousands of rwandans and 994 the document commissioned by the african states government says paris quote did nothing to stop the slaughter of ethnic to see the latest witnessed
2:02 am
accounts paint a terrifying portrait. even today that sadness does not end the thought that someone came raped you destroyed you and killed your child it is an extreme strain on my heart that will never end i only have survived. one woman died after hutus hacked off her arms and forced them into her mouth are 2 small children aged $1.00 and $5.00 for them slaughtered.
2:03 am
they came in a great crowd shouting like crazy people the whole place was littered with bodies. now they report alleges france continued its military support to the country even after confirmation of widespread rights abuses more than a 1000000 people lost their lives the scale and brutality of the killings reverberated worldwide however france still insists it doesn't bear responsibility for inaction as r.t. solid deep and secure reports. morning close to 600 pages and based on interviews with hundreds of witnesses this damning report due to the recent findings by a french commission that said paris was on quote lying to the. genocidal agenda. to not have acted to prevent the genocide that was a fact but another fact is that the government of france time accompanied the rwandan government that was committing massacres preparing
2:04 am
a genocide the french government at the time was close to that one government and supported them in various ways draining the diplomatic and political support that's what we call the responsibility of france in 1904 france led operation turquoise a military humanitarian starting to back. it went on monday but is moving it seems to being a front for collaboration with the extremist. that allegation is too close to the coup to resume was also leveled in the reports of the genocide commissioned by from really just this. is the french authorities who in this case bear grave responsibility because every 3 years instead of supporting democracy in peace in rwanda they supported the rwandan government's policy of radical action activision under the leadership of a dictator who was very close to the hutu extremists however senior officials from
2:05 am
the french government. at the time of. still refuse to accept the blame i disagree because i did my utmost to ensure that france would not be blamed for being passive and indifferent my concern was not to commit our army in a civil war where it would necessarily have appeared as supporting the hutu government that was being criticized for the genocide france need not apologize although knowing. the reports say that they found any evidence that french officials all personnel directly participated in the killing to seize this latest investigation shed some horrifying light rule in rwanda relations between the 2 countries have been strained for many years and it's uncertain that with these new reports that this doctor can finally and so much speed off see
2:06 am
paris. i survive all for wanda's war and genocide told us some of the horrific suffering he himself had to go through. my personal experience was very traumatizing one of the most significant incidents was where i was captured with my mother and we were made to a digger on graves this wasn't the only. incident closest to death this is not the 1st report commissioned by the government or wonder that basically accuses france or being complicit in the genocide in some parts of the genocide was a genocide it was said it was sparked and started with the killing the shooting down or the plane carrying 2 presidents there were one president at the time who was negotiating with the rebels and the president who were both on display in the state of the genocide and there's been back and forth reports out the reports.
2:07 am
changing reports like a ping pong game genocide today is used as a political tool the real common ground would be. investigate. the plane and that would answer a lot of questions in that would show a lot of the roles by the french and the government of rwanda. from the many outlets police officer derek chauvet has been found guilty of the murder of george floyd he's been convicted on all counts crowds that gathered near the court celebrated the verdict i see america's john hunt has the story. 2 guilty on all counts that's really the headline probably the dramatic moment that's going to resonate you know continue to make headlines over and over is there a show of him being led out of the courtroom in handcuffs guilty on our council let's go through those real quick so count one is 2nd degree murder and he faces now to 40 years in prison on count one count 2 was 3rd degree murder faces if up to
2:08 am
25 years count 3 2nd degree manslaughter to 10 years and these were all considered separate charges still not even 20. 4 hours after deliberations the jury came in and handed down this verdict which generally in my experience as a journalist more than 20 years covering all types of court cases that doesn't bode well for the defense particularly in a murder case when a jury comes back that quick also the prosecution you know had had called something like 36 out of placer county 36 different witnesses experts medical experts law enforcement experts. in the 45 year old chauvin pleaded not guilty to all the all the charges his defense attorney eric nelson's basically tried to sell reasonable doubt among the members of the jury saying that his use of force that showbiz use of force was justified and that ultimately it wasn't his actions that were responsible for floyd's death well clearly the the jury saw it differently were
2:09 am
based on not only the prosecution's arguments but also the videos for 90 minutes 29 seconds that was the number that was repeated over and over that spoke volumes of derek showman's knee on george floyd's neck and back as floyd begged for mercy begged to be able to brave and called for his dead mother.
2:10 am
what happens now procedurally well 1 you heard the judge he'll meet with the jury sentencing will happen it's not going to happen today it will happen likely in the coming days or weeks there is also another question about appeals will everything else and will the defense appeal the ruling there was talk that representative maxine waters some of the common sense she made to you know to protesters may come into play may have somehow coerced in one way or another the jury believe it or not. know. that they are probably.
2:11 am
more than likely the defense will raise that issue raise the media coverage in its appeal but bottom line is derek show even former minneapolis police officer was convicted on all counts of 33 counts 2nd degree murder 3rd degree murder 2nd degree manslaughter. but john tangible and incendiary rhetoric including democratic congresswoman maxine waters goading protesters to get more confrontational could prejudice the trial yet the mainstream media maintain the comments well. i don't think what she said and in any way should we should criticize her for of course we should be more confrontational do you really think she's calling for violence most people know that that's not true. and the people who are speaking out against her are using it politically i don't think that maxine meant anything by that except to
2:12 am
say you have to stick with a you know you have to be there she is she's fine as far as i'm concerned well 1st off they've got the mainstream american media in their back pocket but this is by any means necessary you know this is rules for radicals this is whatever it takes to get the job done what maxine waters did is tantamount to a mafia intimidation during the trial i mean it really is you know now these jurors if they catch wind of this in any way shape or form are going to think that hey you know we brought dozens of people god last year or is the blood of those people going to be in our hands if we don't return a guilty verdict against child and you know who wants to live with that on their conscience it's completely thrown the legal process in the due process as a constitutional right of this police officer into question the house speaker pelosi applauded the verdict and thanked floyd for sacrificing his life but there's
2:13 am
been a scathing reaction to her words with some thinking they actually live takes him we saw it happen and thank god the jury that dated what we saw what we saw so again thank you cure. for sacrificing your life for just thank you murdered person for without your horrific killing we would have never known that it's not ok to kill people for no reason nancy pelosi in a nutshell the word 2nd 5 simplifies it was necessary this is how liberals will read produced a larger labeled his life expendable in the 1st place no no no no what the 2nd fight in your life is something people have to do on their own floyd was murders we just had the whole trial. that's been shopping a differing reaction to the case from on guests well some thought police changed
2:14 am
that tactics this time others say the only thing that's changed is the offices on the courts but i thought was most unusual about this case is that director obama was pretty much thrown under the bus by the police department is on the police chief justified against them normally emmy's trials in these cases were police officers are accused of misconduct and go on trial policemen fill the room to intimidate the witnesses to intimidate the system itself which are incorrect and we don't see any of that in this case we didn't see the police department for supporting show bond we didn't see the the cops in the or room we also didn't see a lot of his family members at the courtroom either so that was kind of unusual probably because very much because of what was the both local national and international the case got there was some pressure on the state to prosecute show on and i think this the results of it i don't see this as a race issue. i know a lot of people do but on the ground finger on the poles of the community trying
2:15 am
cases day in and day out there is no longer me and very frustrating lee not so obvious presence of police officers who abuse their authority against black white indian agent american or whatever it may be that they're dealing with and you know it shouldn't be that way you should trust law enforcement officers many people including myself support good law enforcement officers but it's the bad apples that contaminate the entire bowl of minestrone soup as justice to oliver wendell holmes would say and let's hope there's an extraordinary amount of change that's going to be weaved in the community and to the nation for real use of force implementation not just showing up to a class and signing off to say hey i let you do this for half an hour we need real change. around the time of the show is in trial verdict an african-american teen was fatally shot by police in columbus ohio the officers were responding to reports
2:16 am
of a stabbing while the girl allegedly attacking with the girl allegedly attacking 2 people with a knife angry protests spilled out onto the streets following the deadly shooting. across the streets and enjoy leskovac restrictions that's the bizarre rule under which one divided german village lives and the absurdity of the situation is not been lost on the residence. her.
2:17 am
city last update we have different rules in place and leave the side of a special boundary it's because scrutinous a split between 22 or tauriel service allows for a district in the city of la because until our group district infection rate is over $160.00 per 100000 so that part of our village has stopped or restrictions. or are. not so it gets confusing and front there is the music and behind you is the lounge by the district of some houses belong to one and some to the up but if you accepted us i think this is the residence just accept this it's been happening ever since the restrictions began it was stick to the rules so no one asked why am i allowed to do this and not that it just works. just as
2:18 am
good at what deschamps dessie the schools have to be closed because then too long the districts and the texas derive from one side of the street to 2000. and 6 and the rules should be the same everywhere of course is difficult to keep trash that's why sometimes people breakdowns you forget about it. still to come india goes back into lockdown after a record number of new kovi cases we have the details for you off to this very short break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by our own person of those words.
2:19 am
the dares thinks. we dare to ask. better what is the survival guide look station just like all the stores simply travel all the service. you should know there are you going to get back home after . all it knows it is a repatriation scheme will look at the way the 7 years. old the 70 year plus treasury board.
2:20 am
welcome back in a new pinnacle for irony a notoriously censor happy you tube has sponsored a freedom of expression award and doled out the prize to its own boss but with 99 percent dislikes on the video of the event it seems the ridiculousness of the situation is not lost on its users artie's dimitry park reports. you know how it's becoming harder and harder to tell reality from satire these days well it's because of stuff like this since and i'm so honored to be able to present you tonight with a free expression award for your incredible leadership with you tube and i just want to say thank you for all the work that you've done to empower people around the world congrats on your very well deserved award thank you so much for the freedom farm for having me here today and for this award this is real in award show on you tube sponsored by you tube giving you tube c.e.o.
2:21 am
of all things in award for freedom of expression means are literally coming to life . and you need a lightsaber to cut through the irony in this case which might explain the whole area is this like ratio on the video. over the last few years you tube has practically become synonymous with censorship and funny thing is they're not really even denying it c they just call it responsibility work in her post toward interview susan widgets you tube c.e.o. took the time to explain the fundamentals of youtube's work the 4 r's of responsibility the 1st are i kid you not is removed you can't make this up after receiving an award for free expression the 1st thing she brags about is how they removed $9000000.00 videos in the last quarter that's $3000000.00 videos
2:22 am
a month and all of that or most of it was done with fabulous machines these are videos that allegedly broke you tube's ever changing terms of service which at this point is so vague and open to interpretation that literally any video can be suddenly deemed unacceptably dangerous have an opinion on coded don't like the w.h.o. don't like the election results banned for free speech the 2nd r. is rise which basically. it means boosting or recommending videos that have the right opinion according to you tube so basically videos by mainstream media corporations their partners but you know those guys that always tell the truth and never run a fake story. 3rd are is reduce this one is the best this means ghosting or shadow banning or hiding videos that have not broken any rules that are completely fair game you tube just doesn't like them so they make them impossible
2:23 am
to find so even if you're really careful about getting your thoughts out there i hear to all of you tube's ridiculous rules avoid all the no no words you still might get shadow banned or censored if youtube doesn't like your opinion and then there's a lot of content that technically meets the spirit of what we're trying to do by it . it's borderline and so for that content we will just reduce meaning we're not going to recommend it to our users and this has been happening to countless creators over the past few years subscribers magically disappear videos don't show up in feeds of people who are subscribed and so on a platform that prides itself on allowing diverse voices there doesn't seem to be a lot of permissible variety when it comes to actual speech the final r. is reward which is basically all about that ad money making sure that people with the right opinions get it and the people with the wrong ones don't explain to me
2:24 am
again how any of these principles have anything to do with free speech the freedom forum institute which gave out this award claims its mission is to foster 1st amendment freedoms for all but apparently they haven't actually read the text of the 1st amendment it literally says congress shall make no laws abridging the freedom of speech but i guess you tube isn't congress so they can make all the laws they want right well then maybe they shouldn't pretend like they actually. we care about the 1st amendment or free speech and definitely not get awards for it. the indian capital has imposed a week long lockdown after a deadly surgeon coated cases fatalities hit a daily record in new delhi on choose day bringing the nationwide total to more than $180000.00 hospitals across the nation are severely overcrowded meaning newco with patients are simply being turned away there are widespread reports of ambulances loaded with bodies dropping them off at crime
2:25 am
a tory of and it's feared the official death toll could mask the true scale of the crisis public health experts among gupta told is the situation is dire. the indian situation right now is very grim grid and really you know i do need to go. it will be very difficult for them to sort of look you know really i think the current situation for an environment is will be to really ensure that they have enough supply for the misty population but do you who isn't about exports i think that is something which we now had to be. the bigger issue is the lack of diagnosis because there are cases where people are not able to dig 19 through the night. to go for 0 or different mccann ism and also i think the other challenge which is emerging is that it's hitting the population of
2:26 am
a younger age which was not of the kids in the in the one. well india registered 273000 covert infections on monday alone with the numbers remaining close to record highs but while the caseload saw as the vaccine rollout is failing to keep up only a small fraction of the population has been inoculated that's despite india being the world's largest vaccine producer manufacturing many of the shots used in the west india has also signed up to produce 200000000 doses to 92 countries as part of the w h o's kovacs program although those supplies are now on hold the government has moved to worst traits of vaccine exports to make up for the domestic short for a delhi medical association dr told us india can no longer afford to send it so broad. is less than 10 percent and. he. did nor.
2:27 am
so many see. the impact on the herd immunity on the coverage of. it would be if you go to. for. their intervention obligation in the institution we're going to. be drawn toward the countries. where depending on india when he couldn't leave britain on their own to sources. after nancy allegations of sexual misconduct and mismanaging the pandemic the governor of new york has yet another scandal on his hands that under cuomo is now being investigated for using state funds to write his new book is called american crisis leadership lessons from the covert 19 pandemic and much of the work in compiling the memoir was done by cuomo staffers while receiving state salaries quote most team denies any wrongdoing. do there was criminality involved speaking
2:28 am
gloop served on its face and is just the furthering of a political pile on any state official who volunteered to assist on this project did so on his or her own time and without the use of state resources earlier this year andrew cuomo was accused of downplaying the true death toll in new york state care homes cuomo has accepted some blame but denied a deliberate cover up tracy alvin you know assistant director of voices for seniors which represents the rights of care home patients thinks the book was poorly timed and he dove under cuomo. we're in the middle of a pandemic people are dying and you had time to write a book that was my 1st thought it was adding insult to injury of felt like i got lunched in the gut all of the families felt the same way he he dares to write a book when we're suffering and people are dying ages it's unconscionable it's
2:29 am
amazing that the deaths of over 15000 innocent senior citizens wasn't the nail in the coffin so to speak or governor cuomo has a governorship is that it's that's the most egregious cranleigh the sex stuff that bad the book deal that's bad chill but there's nothing more agree just than the mass deaths of over 15000 innocent senior citizens if that didn't get him out of office what will get him out of it's. press company here on r.t. and to national we'll be back in 30 minutes with the very latest we'll see that. is your media a reflection of reality. in
2:30 am
a world transformed. what will make you feel safer. tyson nation will community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is right. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the debt. or i'm a going to shallowness. russia u.s. relations are in tatters at this point there is no reason to believe they will improve anytime soon it appears washington is determined to force moscow to take the need this is delusional this will never happen we live in the most dangerous of time.
