10:02 pm
a risk incident taken place on friday afternoon. he was shot in the leg and is now in custody. that's what we know about him. what he's left in his way is at least 3 people dead. according to media on the scene. 6 have been reported, has been injured after what is being called a knife rampage and a pedestrian. can you seeing the, the, the main suspect coming face to face with a member of the public brandishing is 5th trying to push back the man who has a clearly has a knife in not 14, what we can tell you from the police in the very latest is that they considered this incident to prove no further risk in no way they looking for anybody else involved in what has happened on the streets of votes. but what does seem to have happened is a number of people. it's being reported if 3 people have been killed on friday afternoon into friday evening. a number more than 6 people were hearing,
10:03 pm
have been injured in a knife attack in the streets of the southern german city, a votes book. the e u has failed to come out of talks with a united, a position on the kick, starting direct relations with russia. that is, despite its 2 leading members, france and germany opened to a reset and wanting a summit. sanctions against moscow were also discuss with the details. here's our to use charlotte pinsky confirmation that sanctions against russia by the you will not be prolonged. sanctions have been in place since around 2014 following the referendum in crimea. they normally action in last for about 6 months. those sanctions will continue. according to the council president, show michelle on areas such as energy, the financial and industries, as well as personal sanctions against a number of russian individuals. well, the announcement just came out was off the lead assigned to joint declaration on
10:04 pm
a number of issues, including looking at relations with russia in which they suggested to the e. u commission that they wanted the commission to look at the possibility of further sanctions against russia. now it did seem as if the e u was putting on the united front, but already cracks are appearing. we know that some countries like france and germany, had gone into this summit saying what they really wanted was a summit with russia to open dialogue. but that was shut down by other countries, including poland, who said that they didn't want that to take place as such. there isn't any mention of a summit in that communique, just the idea of looking at relations with russia in the future. i'm to merkel german chancellor still thinks that dialogue is the way forward to pieces under the so i don't see these talks as an idea of giving the russian president any kind of
10:05 pm
reward. i would like to remind all of us that even during the cold war there was always dialect and channels of communication are open and it's better if the commission and the council president have a channel of communication open with russia instead of individual countries going it alone because after all, we would like to have a coordinated and concerted view that is express towards russia. i believe there is no drummer in the fact that there is no consensus on arranging the summit soon. it is more important to maintain this agenda on russia, tide, and preserve unity as division, makes us wico despite those comments, the commission precedent. ursula vaughan delane is still suggesting that europe is putting on a united front. we are right now in a negative spiral, and we need to brace for further down term. so we agreed to push back. when russia targets the european union on what we stands for when it violates human rights. to
10:06 pm
constrain russia when it attempts to undermine our interests, and we will engage russia when it is in our interest to do so to achieve our goals . for example, if we talk about climate change, or if we talk about public health, we'll russia for its part had said it was open to the idea of a summit and it also believes that dialogue is the way forward. russia also saying that he's committed to improving relations with the european block. however, the idea of moving that summit off the table as a possible way food was described as not being particularly helpful, mind the spokes person for the russian foreign ministry. the russian federation regret that you are a structural evade professional dialect with moscow on the topics that caused them . concern will relations between russia and the you have been frosty for some time . diplomats on both sides have been expelled from various countries. and of course,
10:07 pm
those sanctions have been in place for a long time as well as now that being the cool for potential new sanctions against russia. all leaders may have signed that declaration saying that they know essentially looking for summit with russia in the near future. but it is clear that some countries may decide now to go alone and do their own thing. particularly with chancellor anglo merkel saying that for her dialogue was important. and even without summit, they were of the format that could be pursued and explored brussels based in political analyst, professor john brace. mont says, conflict with russia also ends up hurting the you should also look at what the bose are saying. we are not going to elevation we unless they give up on me or they give back can do thing, which means that they want to have good relation to this guy coming. he sees the
10:08 pm
end of the guy and i'm just never up. and so pretty good as be on believe just sort of suit a lack of diplomacy and also on the boat it's nothing. it's the generic. i don't think there's any economic passion behind that because it will be much better for them to question. i'm sorry, my call you see my cost is more important to maintain the union. but nevertheless, i'm going to have a relationship between these i want to. so in fact, it just means that you have these making. that's what the british holidaymakers face, a growing threat of spending their summer at home. europe, with germany at the forefront, is considering a 2 week quarantine for tourists from the country and mid fears. the delta vary, entered there is spreading fast, but some of the you are not so happy as art is shot. edwards da, she explains. well, jose for brits abroad may be in doubt this summer despite the u. k. jesse yesterday, announcing more countries added to the case, greenland stops now as the power lies totally with europe and quite fearful that
10:09 pm
the whole continent is almost treading on thin ice with the rise of the delta variant. and they're blaming the bread for it. as a result that questioning, contemplating and considering and forcing this mandatory quarantine in for any british taurus, movement them and off in our country is who come from great britain. you have to go into quarantine. that's not the case in every european country. and that's what i would like to see. we must be vigilant because the much talked about delta variance is coming, which spreads much more rapidly than the other variance and affects people who are not the vaccinate did, or who only have had one dose. for me, one of the issues of discussion is to be really taken coordinate to decisions in terms of opening borders to 3rd countries. so france and germany are leading that person to try and punish britain for the spread of the dell to variance. and that also doing all the e u member states to follow suit as well,
10:10 pm
but it is raising eyebrows because yes, the indian delta baron is much more prevalent here in the united kingdom, but it's still not like it doesn't exist in those countries as well. in fact, the indian varian accounts around 70 percent of cases in some parts of the region in france, and many hotspots, like greece, spain and portugal. they still have issues themselves with the delta v r, and yet they are still welcoming brits into the country. now portugal vo says it will do anything that the e u decides wild countries like spain. hence it's even prepared for a bus stop with the block. if it tries to deny brits entry, hopefully we can begin to receive british torrison. we don't have any restrictions and tories from the u. k. the moment they're the ones who are placing restrictions on when they return. so at a fast balance, it may seem like it makes sense to try and impose this quarantine for british tourists. however, when we cross checks, things like the testing regime here in the u. k. with all the countries,
10:11 pm
it's totally in comparable. apparently the youth has testing around 10 times more people than in germany. therefore, inevitably, more people will be recorded as infected, much less so than in other countries, but not testing as much. now, these would be the u. k. testing program is of course the vaccination rollout as well, which is doing incredibly well at this point. around 43000000 people have received the dose of the vaccination with the government. still maintaining the vaccine roll out program is the ticket out of the pandemic. currently, it is down to individual e u member states to decide on the rules governing that borders. we are moving at speed through vaccination program to help us cub this latest fair. and we will continue to have discussions with our european partners on the reopening of international travel. but we're very confident the tar vaccination program is providing a good way forward. so pressure on europe to kick start their. 2 economy once again
10:12 pm
and of course tourism is very much the heart of it, but there's also a pressure on the european union to have a united front. and that could see that the brits are going to have this. i'm a counselor again the chair of the institute of travel and tourism told us he expects britain to fight for its citizens. right to holiday abroad is very disappointing. germany, poland, and italy have unilaterally imposed currency and restrictions. it is disappointing in the life of the, the e u announcement of a new digital cobit passport. which is going to start on the 1st of july, which will enable any of the $27.00 countries or, and of any of the $27.00 countries to travel with complete freedom and impunity from one country to another. now clearly when part of the you, but i would very much hope that our government would be given the fact that we've, we've got the best vaccination role that our government would be pressing the you
10:13 pm
to say ok for our citizens that are, that are double jams, please, please, please, can we have the same same recognition facility to travel further, 751 unmarked graves have been found at the sight of a former catholic, a residential school in canada just weeks after a smaller similar discovery shook the country. cadmus delorme. the chief of a local 1st nations indigenous group says indications are that the graves also contain children. it's overwhelming by the amount of great faith found. and it's very emotional and mentally draining on the fact that these are one meter by one meter found on mark gravesites, indicating that they weren't full adults. yet, there was headstones of who was there at one time. and in 1960, the roman catholic church leads of this area,
10:14 pm
had the responsibility to keep those headstones there and they didn't. and so removing headstones is a crime today in canada. we're just going to see how that law affects something that happened in 1960. so at that point we will welcome in outside help, but at this time we are controlling the situation. and we are telling the story from our lens. the find comes weeks after the remains of $215.00 children were found that a similar residential school in british columbia. a grim reminder of the years of discrimination and abuse. indigenous communities suffered in canada. religious authorities took children from their families to these institutions with the aim of assimilating them. 2 8 8 8 8 8 8 every day you in case you fear,
10:15 pm
did you, who was it wasn't you today, it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any form of humiliation. he learned to cry anymore. he did get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. ah, i couldn't talk a word of english. i talked cree and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language. they threatened us with a strapping. you spoke it. within a year i lost all of it. i . 8 used to him, i ill drunk trying at night. i asked the principal to take him to the hospital. he didn't after about 2 weeks, my brother was in so much pain. he was going out of his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take him to the doctor. ah,
10:16 pm
they started to sexually take advantage of me and abuse me. not one. not too many, many people for a very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years the canadian prime minister called. busy the discoveries, a shameful reminder of systemic racism, encouraging his countrymen to learn from past mistakes. however, some countries are now pushing the went to investigate crimes against indigenous people in canada. when she went to another oval. well, we hope that the canadian government could move forward instead of upholding surface justice and making a verbal apology. they should take more effective measures to find out the truth investigates who is responsible, implement compensation and issue policies to effectively protect the rights of indigenous people. can miss delorme went on to say such residential schools had one goal to brainwash his people? this is genocide. my my ancestors had
10:17 pm
a beautiful way of life here. we accepted and agreed to a treaty relationship with the crown. we did not ask for all of this to happen for 5 generation residential school had one goal. and that was to brainwash my people to stop in our life of how we had it for many generations to accept a life that we didn't know based on the canadian way at one time. and so now today as a leader where the colonizing and where strengthening our self and genocide is where you try to eliminate and mentally we were, they tried to eliminate us. and today we are still resilient. we're still here and we are getting stronger one day at a time. a $22.00 and a half years prison sentence awaits the ex minneapolis police officer who murdered
10:18 pm
at george floyd more than the states and minimum guidelines. however, the minnesota judge who handed down the conviction says he made the decision with a cool head or what the sentence is not based on his emotion or sympathy. but at the same time, i want to acknowledge the deep and tremendous pain that all the families are feeling, especially the floyd family. you have her sympathies, i am not basing my sentence also on public opinion, sentences 10 years longer than those usually given for similar crimes that is down to the cruelty of the murder and the ex police officers abuse of power. entrust says the judge joe biden has said that the verdict seems suitable. however, many who gathered outside the court disagree. st. prosecutors, demands for a 30 year sentence should have been met. what kind of people
10:19 pm
always will always call you again? every going to happen because we want to know what they're coming. ladies and gentlemen, congratulations us about america. our 2nd i was expecting a minimum of 30 years, which we've been at least a decade and some change, which i can look at in the nothing i know i live in, i going to like the, i'm ok with that. okay. when i now go to bed, knowing that a man is going to get out as you know, because my daughter graduates in high school merits alone shelven is a former police officer who, one year ago killed george floyd, a black man when he knelt on his neck for over 9 minutes while making an arrest on suspicion, floyd used a counterfeit $20.00 bill that sparked protest across the united states and demands
10:21 pm
i, we spoke to tonya face on the founder of black lives matter, sacramento and dave perkins, radio host and political analyst and asked, was the court partial in the way that it usually does if, if the alarm had made any type of influence on the judgment, and it would be there would be a longer sentence, the longer sentence than 22 years. unless the judges, of course is against be 11, then that would be a different story. i believe in this case, the court is someone illogically who agrees with b l. m and essentially works from their position alongside b, l. m, to make changes in society that they and be elim both believe need to be made. whether they're correct or not is subject to discussion. i don't think they are. what i do believe that the justice system in minnesota is completely on the same
10:22 pm
side as b l. m. not because of anything b, l m says or does what? because that site is the site that they are both on politically. now the u. s. media has become the world's at least trusted and has seen sharp falls and viewers and readers. according to a study by britain, oxford university of the poll of almost a 100000 people around the globe founded that finland has left to the top spot with 2 in 3, their believing their media. by contrast, researchers said that the coverage of the pandemic by u. s. outlets contributed to less than 30 percent. now trusting them, and that collapse marks a massive drop in just a few years. just 4 years ago, almost 4 and 10 americans still had trust in their news organizations. journalist and r t host chris hedges says that u. s. media now puts pleasing its audience above telling the truth. the commercial model of the us media is to cater to
10:23 pm
a specific demographic with the rise of the internet and all turn. it is sources. these traditional news outlets could no longer reach abroad audience because they didn't have a monopoly. and therefore, they decided to go after a particular demographic. and now what you've done is pit demographic against demographic, whether it's m s, nbc fox news, cnn. they become partisan catering to their particular demographic and what it wants to hear, but often at the expense of the truth, the oxford university report confirms that americans are deeply divided on each media outlet almost as many distrust cnn as trust the left leaning network. the figures are almost identical for its right limits. nbc and fox news suffers one of the worst trust ratings of all chris hedges, again says their policies are only making matters worse. it's going to get worse
10:24 pm
because the commercial model. and these are commercial enterprises depends on not only catering to that a particular demographic, but also demonizing, the other demographic. while these media outlets are designed to polarize the public, because commercially, they're designed to loop back to feedback to their viewers, or listeners or readers what it is they want to hear their own proclivities, their own prejudices. and that's the commercial model it's been created. it's kind of, you know, hate versus heat, whether that sean hannity, one side, or rachel, matto and the other. they all do the same thing. but it's not journalism. it's just, you know, per, last or vaudeville masquerading. his journalism has the last us troops pack up and prepare to leave afghanistan after 20 years of war. joe biden has hosted the country's president and his former folks have gone stands forces are struggling to

repel taliban advances as its partnership with the u. s. centers a new phase or maybe leaving the support graph can stand is not andy of support and maintenance of their helping maintain their military as well as economic and political support. gradually pull out, has already seen the taliban advance in multiple directions, seizing more swabs of land. the militants now control a 3rd of the country, including areas surrounding the capitol and a border crossing in the north. the group has reportedly also captured ammunition and weapons left by retreating forces and authorities have resorted to utilizing volunteers to form anti taliban malicious view. and special representative for afghanistan has warned america's rapid pace of withdrawal. risks upsetting the country's political balance. the mid april announcement, the ball international troops will be withdrawn in the coming months, spent
10:26 pm
a seismic tremor through the afghan political system and society at large. the withdrawal decision was expected, but its speed was the majority of troops now already withdrawn, was not more than 50. of afghanistan's $370.00 districts have fallen since the beginning of may. most districts have been that have been taken surround provincial capitals suggesting that the taliban are positioning themselves to try and take these capitals. one foreign forces are fully withdrawn back when donald trump was still the us commander in chief washington set. the 1st of may, 2021 as the deadline to bring troops home. that statement came against the backdrop of talks between the afghan government and the taliban in doha, when joe biden took over, he postponed the complete pull out, eventually resetting it to september. the 11th this year,
10:27 pm
but the pentagon now says that timeframe may be flexible as the us defense secretary continues to monitor the situation. as we said from the very beginning while there is a schedule, we're mindful that that schedule could fluctuate and changes as conditions change too. so i can't speak to any specific recommendations he's making about the taliban advances. but i can tell you that, that he's looking at the situation every day with a fresh set of eyes to see if we know the, the pace that we're setting is the appropriate pace for the kinds of capabilities that we think we need to. again conduct a safe and orderly retrograde independent consultant on the u. s. foreign policy. robert naming says the withdrawal of the troops is inevitable. the american people were done with this war a long time ago. there is no question that the u. s. is going to withdraw in the
10:28 pm
long run one differences the mag, if they withdraw the us troops now or next month, or for the month after that if postponing the inevitable can tell they have ambitions outside of afghanistan, or which they've never indicated. or if they're hyper al qaeda or similar groups that have envisioned outside of afghanistan, which they did before, 2001. now they agreed in the agreement, the trump administration, that they wouldn't harbor we'll see if they fall through. and now, even if they don't, or even if they've fall through it, partially, the assumption should not be keeping us troops in afghanistan must be the default unless there's 0 threat from afghanistan. the right question is, what's the correct policy to minimize risk?
10:29 pm
we can't keep us troops everywhere where there might be a potential threat the united states some day. and it's not necessarily the most effective strategy or that doesn't for me to. so i will be back in, let's say 31 minutes with a look at your headlines. this is our international. glad have your me the the the is your media a reflection of reality. the, in a world transformed what will make you feel safe. the
10:30 pm
tycer lation whole community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is true? what is in a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah. i don't think they can't ride on police report in december 2020 a group of anti finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months. there's no like if people organization, it's an idea that must be opposed. it's channel out the gate route. they make their faces but they.
