facts, it's actually looking for more of a scientific corporation that also it's looking for. for more for more technical corporation, the eu has reached a landmark one bally in euro agreement with an old african nation of to nicea to combat and legal migration. countries. president though, had some choice words for any of those people he said, might be using his nation, or i'll say it again. we are africans, and we are proud of our african identity. but we refused to be a land of transit or a land of settlement. well, the handling european commission was joined by leaders of the netherlands in italy for talks with attorneys in president comes as a number of migraines trying to reach your from north africa, has a really increase in recent months. and the bailey, in euro agreement, aims to strengthen economic ties with an e, you describing it as an investment in prosperity. the thousands of people are set

to have gathered and nights and is in coastal city. and the reason funds classes that have forced hundreds of would be migrants to free into that's it. regions, ne, libya and algeria, i live in us are, these are set to have come to the age of those 2 were exhausting the hydrated. nadia, we spoke with a journalist specializing and migration will have a credit. he said that the 1000000000 euro pay out one to actually help to nancy a deal with the true crisis. this agreement signed by the 10 user president on the option. the union is, uh, is uh, something about to destroy all the framework of human rights, especially when the option doesn't like for the people who was suffering in africa, especially the people of this, the subs. so again, 1000000000 dollars i don't think that can help to media to, to, to, to get a little from the secret to make progress. and $1000000000.00 cannot be viewed as

the best way of to prosperity. i finally do some lucky is of this and to see if he's in the street address or chinese or some kind of make china's there for the notion of a trust. if you just discuss it in the context of abuse, to be one sided, a single engine passenger plane has crashed in eastern potent leaving at least 5 people dead and several others wounded. this all according to local media. as we understand the aircraft actually collide that into a hang that had a dozen people inside that a very small app or in other countries capital of war. so publish authorities reported the pilot is among those who lost their lives. they added an adverse weather conditions properly, the main cause behind the crush landing and those of survived the ordeal of being treated, the local hospital. we understand some of them do remain in a critical condition. i don't know the stories you can catch up on up by the moment,

by the minute, by the hour on line the volume dot com, but otherwise factor bossy channels. the isn't time for thoughts and possibilities and ukraine. 12 more and more so called russia experts seem to think so the funder leg due to the question, the 1st must be asked, who should be doing the talking to people who live the point in the complex and divided the world the, the russian states never is as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best most i'll send send up the same assistance,

must be the one else calls question about this. even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz vote net, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say a request, which is the hello i'm manila chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. it's being compared to america as bill m riots of 2020 france seeing weeks of protest, riots and looting. following the police,

shooting death of an ethnic algerian team today will explore how the death of now more zoom spark nationwide unrest and a difficult conversation about race. and equality and power in france. all right, let's get into the m o. the 17 year old nile nurse, new a delivery driver was pulled over by french national police in the parish suburb of montana on june 27th. it's unclear to outside observers what actually happened when police 1st approached his vehicle. but and within moments the teen attempted to flee the scene. that's when one of the officers opened fire as the boy drove away. the end result, we know was that now tragically died. he's the 3rd person to be killed in france

thus far by police. in 2022, france saw 13 people fatally shot by french police. so didn't comply during traffic stuff. but for some reason, now, death was the final straw. for more than a week city's suburbs and even the french countryside burned cars, buildings you name it. thousands of arrests, millions upon millions of dollars worth of goods, eluded or vandalized. communities of color in france had enough to discuss the underlying long simmering tensions between minority groups and the french power leads to will talk to ted rall. ted is a syndicated columnist cartoonist radio talk show host an author of many books, most relevant to this matter. a book called to afghanistan and back. ted rall, thank you for joining us. full disclosure. ted, as my friend and co host of the sputnik radio show called the final countdown. so i

just got to put that out there. but that's not why i asked to, to join us on this topic. 10 happens to be a dual citizen, french american, or american french not sure. and which order or if it matters, he can clarify. but because of his dual citizen status, frances, his maternal homeland, the events unfolding, their hip, literally close to home for ted. so tad, as we witnessed the writing, the looting the burning of communities all surrounding paris and beyond what goes through your mind, what's your analysis of those events? well, a lot of americans are sort of asking, what's wrong with france? why are they so crazy? oh, you know, how did things become so dysfunctional there? and i'm kind of reminded of a very famous episode between throw and his good friend ralph waldo emerson. one of them was in prison for civil disobedience, or i should say in jail. and the other one came to visit him and said,

my good friend, what are you doing there in prison? and the c o n said, my good friend, what are you doing out? they're not in prison. and i think that sort of the attitude that the french would have about americans. we have some of the social and political and economic skills that are afflicting us, including a continuing problem with police brutality often racially inflected. that why they might ask, why are we not now in the streets? why are cities in america? not burning? and of course, obviously we did have a little bit of that during 2020 during the b o m protests. but for the most part, americans are a quiet lot. we haven't really had a major protest movement in this country since the early 19 seventy's half a century ago. so we are a very like switzerland here, we're not really doing anything. and the french have a long tradition of agitation and reaction to injustice. and

so the background here is it's been a long time coming. this is not simply a case of some trigger happy cops who pulled over a 17 year old kid driving without a driver's license. in the suburbs, who got nervous and shot him as he tried to get away. this is the latest chapter, the latest episode, the latest flash point in a long standing problem in france, where the, this national police, something we do not have here in the united states patrols particularly minority areas, an error of areas as though they are occupied church for they are, um they, they roll into town, they set up checkpoints, they asked they demand the ideas in what we would call stop and risk. they harass people. the things that just don't happen if you're in the white catholic areas of

france. if you as a tourist to go to paris, you're never going to be asked for your id. the thing is a fast. everyone is issued a national id card. i have one and you can be asked by any government or police official at any time to present your id card and it's against the law not to have it. if you as a tourist, a white tourist, or walk you around in paris or more, say on these, you're never going to be approached by the police. even if they don't know that you're not french, they're never gonna ask you because they don't do that. there are but the national police as a very dark racist far right. political background, it goes back to the nazi occupation of france, which took place between 19401944. at that time, france was divided into 2 zones, directly occupied zone by nazi germany. in the north and including paris and then an area that probably most listeners are viewers are aware of called fishy france,

which was run by a collaboration is pro nazi puppet regime headed by the french general. only feeling fit to fit to form the national police of 1941, to supplement and over and over. storm. go over the heads of the john down marie, there's own towns are basically french. these y'all is person. elm is arm is gun. so it literally means gun person, that's your local cost is yours. on down, they have affiliation in the local community. they know people. they're not nearly as likely to be involved in this kind of aggressive leasing as the police not to not the police not, you know, it was originally known as the siri tech. when they were found to fight the tap. and they, the french, in my view, wrongly kept a lot of vc institutions at the end of 1944 after the ration under charles to call

. and one of the institutions that they kept was the national police and the se way that trump kept the space force recertified and kept trump state space force. so it's basically that same sort of thing. uh, they go and travel wherever they want. they don't pay attention to the local police vision on downs. they set up checkpoints that are. 5 local kids in particular, and there's really no one in france, even among white people who don't know, or at least indirectly have some kind of story of police brutality involving the, the police not to not, i mean, you know, here there's that statement a, c, a, b all cops or bastards. well, i'll police not to now are bastards. and so this was only a matter of time where you're seeing here is, this is just a bridge too far. it was caught on video, the called fly, the about what happened. they tried to get out of it and we use a lot of it,

but they couldn't. it's less. i think this is less of a george floyd and more of a rodney key moment when it comes to french politics in that. this is the 1st time that the cops were caught, debt to right, and the authorities don't really know what to do about it present as an a menu or the macro has pretty much admitted that this shouldn't have happened. the interior minister has set up a hard line and has demanded a harsh prison sentences for anybody caught looting or writing. but bottom line is, this was to be expected. this could easily have happened 2 years ago. and it is, it's the result of a years of pent up anger and on in the neighborhood this teenager, now mercer is from you, said, is largely on jill algerian or of north african immigrants. the boy's death at the

hands of national police seems to expose these deep racial, divides in france. can you give us some modern, historical context around this? i mean, does any of this have to do with the french colonial past? you know french, frances colonial past is front and center when it comes to all this. i mean, today, france is just another country in europe and the secondary partner to germany in the you. but of course, um, a 100 years ago, france, i had a fast empire that circled the globe and rivaled the u. k. as in terms of the sun, never setting this time, this case on the french empire of france, possessed colonies around the world still does tahiti places like a martinique and quite a loop in the, in the caribbean. they have a couple of islands off the coast of newfoundland canada, um, sammy's sappy i st. mika. no, they have um, the either, you know,

in the middle of the indian ocean, you've had it kind of doing. yeah. and also in the pacific and other many colonies, they had best swabs of africa, particularly north africa. the north, many of the air of the air of a sort of saharan countries were part of the french dominion morocco, algeria, tunisia, and so on. and so what happened here definitely relates to that. after francis colonial um, aspirations began to evaporate with its defeat in the alger and independence struggle in the early 19 sixties. and by the way, that's really beautifully documented in a sort of pseudo documentary, the so called the battle of algiers that i would strongly recommend when a lot of awards and after 911. in fact, it became required viewing among pentagon planners looking into how they were going

to occupy and deal with resistance movements in afghanistan and iraq. but anyway, um, so this kid, uh, he was more how basically have rock and half out here and, and there were old, there are a lot of people of that background who came here, particularly after the altieri of civil conflict, made it very unpleasant to live in places.
