President trump is now on his way to dayton ohio that of course is where a gunman killed 9 people including his own sister on sunday after that he goes to el paso where the 1st shooting took place over the weekend and that the 31 people dead several states and local leaders have been against the visit accusing him of being responsible for inciting the recent violence. Controversially before he left for higher the u. S. President told reporters about an on assault rifles would be unlikely. That there was no political appetite at that moment to get. Your own polling no political appetite probably going to let me like you but i will certainly bring that up ill bring it up of course with your great appetite and ill be a great programmer guy for background and i think we can bring up background just like that for. Right lets go to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett shes in washington d. C. So lets as hes on his way now to. Talk to these people whove just lost 9 people in the still perceive have been shot and the president saying that theres no political appetite for any reform to assault weapon legislation. Yeah and to a certain extent hes referring to congress and hes right but what we are seeing and what Many Americans feel hopeful about after the horrific tragedies that occurred last week in the United States the focus of course on the weekend shootings that date now passed so but also one that took place just a few days before that in california is the recognition that something needs to be done well it may not be the ban on assault rifles that many gun control advocates are have been pushing for for so many years what there does seem to be momentum for now martine is something that the president proposed on monday these red flag laws theyre being called essentially taking away guns or the opportunity to buy a gun for those people that are mentally ill it seems like a no brainer and yet right now thats not the case so what weve seen is already in the house of representatives democrat led 2 pieces of legislation that happened passed stalled in the senate that is republican controlled democrats have sent a letter we believe thats being delivered today advocating for the senate to come back and debate this legislation potentially put into law thats not likely to happen but what we do hear we did hear from the president just moments ago is that if he feels that there is movement on this that the leadership can find some agreement that means in the house and the senate then they will come back and try to push for that the president did say that he was very concerned about this he also did say that he personally is in favor of background checks and also in favor of making sure that the mentally ill dont have guns if Something Like that were to become law that would be the most significant weve seen in this country in 20 years kimberly how could live in washington thank you.

Volatility can only go so far china is trying to say that were not going to be brave by the us and a small reminder to the escalation of the trade war and what china can do about a further escalation for china to use Exchange Rate as a weapon is highly unlikely because when a drops to say 7. 00 then it becomes a political issue after share prices worldwide fell earlier this week in reaction to chinas move some experts say the view inside china is not as pessimistic and a weaker you one was expected at some point in the past the u. S.

M. F. Wont act against china despite the u. S. Accusation of manipulation when he starts mentioning the i. M. F. The question is what could he do there the i. M. F.

I found the ok on you in the street today a british actress playing an iconic american abolitionist while people saying hash tag not my how it. Dont forget to tweet us and send us your comments on you tube during the live conversation but before we get started take a look at this. Stuff. Easy. For you. Thats part of the trailer for how yet an upcoming biographical film about american abolitionist how it helped him and cynthia evo landed the title pop but many people are now upset that a revote who is a british nigerian was casting stead of an African American actress theyve been voicing their opinions online using the hash tags not my how it how it deserves better and adolf short for american descendants of slavery so why was this particular casting decision so controversial and what does the debate say about black identity in the u. S. But joining us to discuss these questions in Los Angeles Antonio moore is a cofounder of american descendants of slavery in Johannesburg SouthAfrica Hollywood actor hakim cake hazim whos appeared in numerous films including hotel rwanda and half of the yellow sun. And here with us on set in washington d. C. Heather harris is a professor at Stevenson University and author of a new book you know race realities in the obama era welcome everyone so there are 2 parts to this harriet controversy hello i guess part one is the actress and her tweets and in part 2 is her heritage where she from lets lets tackle the tweets because theyre controversial screengrab because as most people know if they get into trouble or lying to me it tweets but somebody somewhere has them so lets just have a look at this this is cynthia in a conversation referencing ghetto american accent i have to remember im taking it out of context. Again another conversation where people are saying well we dont think you represent africanamericans and then cynthia says oh darling all of these presumptions it is you please you are the representation for all americans that is incorrect and i give you one more the african African American is the thing i understand more fully that most if you think that a black and then it goes on and on and on so its just the idea that people who are upset about cynthia are upset because shes tweeted things that they find disrespectful and shes paid many africanamerican characters money for it and sums it up on twitter with the hash tag our story or the handle our story this particular actress has made offensive remarks concerning africanamericans being that Harriet Tubman was an africanamerican legend it is disrespectful to cast this lady in the role so thats one persons take what i want to share anothers on this person. Took screen grabs some of the ones that you have there are others that shes compiled of this person is compiled to go by the handle electric bo peep and they explain why they think many of the tweets that they found from this actress are problematic electrical people sent us an audio common with their thoughts have a listen. Why do you think kerry is there is better because since you are even has a very troubling very consistent 7 year pattern from 2011 to tweet a little in africanamerican and promoting and defending the ethnic bigotry towards the very people who arent men ought to free descendants of chattel slavery because for the last 11 months cynthia reka has said everything to evade accountability for these actions when antisemite be allowed to play moses why should be allowed to play armistice. Strong words there and tony im going to hand that right off to you what do you make of that aspect of this controversy well let me start off by saying that i think that what we dont recognize is to be put at odds with our own story where we have to boycott harriet i mean this hashtag thats going around a push by not just a loss but many black people across the country is claiming a reality a reality that we dont know enough about cynthia reveal her. Recent article came out in the new yorker about slave trading in nigeria wouldnt it be something if we do find out that she is dolly which are slave traders in nigeria and she is not old but in addition we have a long history going back to how do you make then you will black actresses africanamerican actresses pushing for an opportunity to be cast in roles that go beyond just being manly and gone with the wind but now when the role is actually here you see this whole kind of shifting where were going to look for more classically trained people were not going to look for people that actually can play the role of us but a king. Well you know the hayseeds is and you say this because as an african as an englishman i see many africanamericans playing african roles. People from dont cheatle to you know. Denzel washington a myriad of postmen to go all of them playing iconic african roles take did you know that theres many that will play that kind of happened well as an artist i do not begrudge them i think its very important they get a chance to express themselves as long as they have the integrity and the honesty to portray the people that theyre portraying and in a real and honest way so. You know i find this a quite had to place it as argument in one for the sense the next youre not looking at the full picture. See and i believe that that kind of falls apart because what youre actually talking about is star actors in hollywood playing roles in American Films in addition you create are into tarion one is in africa has gone on astronomy that can be an american experiment well let me let me finish let me finish and i actually say when you talk about when you talk about will smith playing a nigerian doctor in america in a film about c. T. E. In the n. F. L. Its an american film in addition africa is not a country tell me about your country and your truck what you see is that idea that were going to create 52 countries into one country given the qualities of a few of our dexterity and one is that they dont operate with their themselves in actuality these are very disassociated places so now you become one place or is it 52 places with many cross all of your are im not quite sure what youre trying to say but i never said it was one contract or one no it is im telling you that africanamericans are tired of a riot of different african rolls. Rolls right were going to say where you. Got American Films of the player if theyre playing african characters that im picking daryn are going to settle for the other antenna and i can just take a take a take a post of mine and i can tell you and making a case i had i came you making a case as we started off with cynthia and this is problematic background that she appears to have she just got back so lets just address that and then go vote and so thats the thing that i hear both gentleman what i am hearing most though is the disrespect that is felt by people of african descent in america the american descendants of slaves thats what im here in the disrespect that has resulted because as your guests have said there have been actors playing parts all over the world mandela was played by Morgan Freeman and i show a few because so many. We could do the whole show by showing them just one this is denzel a steve. Young denzel the man almost never ages Jennifer Hudson as Winnie Mandela yes how do South Africans feel about that and that oh my goodness ugandan is Forest Whitaker playing in maine and the list goes on and on and on i think if you want to really get to the core of this its about the respect that the actress reveal has for africanamericans africanamericans feel disrespected by what she said and now she is representing a very iconic character and i know through reading that it has been said i can just read the patient say this but i can just read the script and i can connect to it in my way without the baggage and things like that what i sense from the tweets accent or a is that africanamericans want someone who understands Harriet Tubman from an intimate level and from. A lyrical and painful ancestral memory not just im going to take that heart i can i can interpret this part they want almost someone that is being driven i want them to have a resume that says its really on a resume and to africanamericans they want someone who actually feels the ancestral presence of a Harriet Tubman put in the i dont know heres something that i saw. Antonio i hear you there but i want to bring in this person i think would agree and i saw you nodding your head as well so this is a show on twitter who says the problem isnt so much that shes british but that she has said and supported things in the past that show she doesnt understand support or respect black americans or their culture she was the wrong choice antonio your thoughts let me say 2 parts the 1st part is these actors that you brought up playing different roles i dont know if history of them saying anything disrespectful about the countries or tribes that were represented in a dish. Its a hollywood financing meant that when you get a big star like Forest Whitaker or will smith or Morgan Freeman it could lead to financing the film cynthia revolt doesnt even have the history to be the lead role in this field im saying she doesnt have this strong backing in nigeria she doesnt have this great backing of british and she barely has a film history in america so you dont have that same need for her to play the lead role there are great africanamerican women that did not get a chance here in america and i would love to see who they actually audition let me play i dont think it came. Out as i was going to side i agree with you in terms of when i put it shes not respectful of this you have respect to the culture im not a stew the history of where she is whether characters come from and whether that the essence of the people who come from then youre right she should be playing that role but as an artist. At the moment i mean i dont. I think hollywood were having this discussion within a space that we did not create for ourselves hollywood creates the space right they decide through their mode of production as kellner would say hes a media scholar he says they decide who puts the scripts up what scripts are what they get to represent and most of the scripts that we get represent the dominant cultures narrative the ones that dont are usually independent films so if this is a larger film production. Hollywood doesnt care who plays the part as long as finances come in so were arguing low number of Different Levels one were arguing about the disrespect that cynthia allegedly had for african or has for africanamericans 2 were arguing in a space about one another in the diaspora. That we havent created for ourselves because in actuality yes we do play parts across the spectrum it is about getting to know one another were talking from a place of stereotypes we havent really had conversations with one another to determine how we feel about one another and the roles that exist for us to play if we and this is if you do that then recision we would realize that there are multiple stories and that we can then share how to depict those stories and with whom i tell you this is my only one and only critique my only critique of that point is where in america talking about roles in american is not simply a real and in isolation we see daniel kalu youre playing fred hampton we see more of the play by david all along and what we dont see is a critical analysis not only you know who else got to audition for these roles but also who are these people and what is their lineage so we would never accept a white person playing Harriet Tubman for whatever a multitude of reasons appearance lineage Everything Else but we dont want to ask that question about somebody who is it well we need to know more this is not black in america and its not a lot across the globe antonia and let me just just add people who are not nigerian the info is one of the tribes in nigeria and i had to speak of a who plays roles where Denzel Washington played in much ado about nothing Kenneth Branagh i think in the eightys or ninetys he didnt write british accent he he just you know worked his way through that i remember that actually it was a slightly odd so here you have all these shakespearean. Acting is and you have this and he was there and i watch it and i said you know i like to think i know what it was and how i can and brits yeah i mean together and bringing whatever they had makes yes i think we have opportunity here were missing because were getting stuck in the name calling so i dont really want. Right and im going to side of this conversation and i hear you there hiking because some of the earlier tweets i read where clearly from people who were descendants of slaves in america this is the other side here a few tweets from africans and joe black says weve had africanamericans playing nelson as weve mentioned and winnie for years and let me not hear one peep from one of them about that shes a great actor and the trailer rocks i love it another person also african writing and saying i find this so strange if you think of how americans have appropriated other peoples stories from havent had an Morgan Freeman and Terrence Howard playing mandela will smith playing dr bennett almost washington playing steve biko don cheadle in hotel rwanda the list is endless so weve mentioned those names you saw the pictures there but im interested because you were in hotel rwanda with don tito with these conversations happening then and not do you think this is all aggression that were now having them not you know i dont remember having those conversations directly with with dont know anybody like im not sure the conversation was had outside of i know subsequently with various. Costings of various people playing mandela there has been a conversation and the people playing Winnie Mandela there has been a conversation you know i think the most important thing is that. When i was in say hotel rwanda there was a definitely a community and definitely a gathering to tell this particular story and i thought that was the most important thing and i know as an african myself i did not feel that don cheadle could play that character or shouldnt play that character but me the most important thing was was that he had. The depth and the honesty to really reach into the should manage that character and he did that time tacitly and he was a gentleman to the court i know what youre getting at and i think that was the most important thing. I did in american. Yeah and i just heard back again i pushed back a i havent said the king of account as an africanamerican so what exactly exactly i mean you know so what are you going to do about it well thats not a real country because i dont think were talking about hollywood hot you know were not talking about hollywood is the what is what is structuring this entire conversation how we know this i know what yesterday officers who started a connotation were structuring this conversation africanamericans have decided to make make it clear that theres a bigger narrative going on and the reality is that you need people that are in those positions in those roles that would make tweaks like like like a revolt. Let me Say Something with you because we have an ad that. I want to hear from an africanamerican actor who was i was part of this conversation back in 2017 samuel l. Jackson spoke on hot 97 of Radio Station its a deep deep deep conversation but heres a little a little slice of it so you can hear his perspective have a look the thing in my mind is i know the Young Brothers in the movie and hes british so there are a lot of British Black british actors that were out of time. So i tend to wonder what would that movie have been when an american brother really for you stands that in a way because i mean daniel grew up going to country where you know theyve been in a recent. You know britain only about like real white people rest them. So what would a brother from america have made of that. And im sure the director helped and you know some things are universal but everything. So antonio keeping in mind what sam jackson said there i want to share this on twitter from black state of america who say black citizens of other countries can empathize empathize but never understand afro descendents experiences any more than we can fully understand their experiences we have connected heritage and spiritual ancestors but our lives are very different especially inside of america so what do you make of this week because it kind of sounds like what sam was saying in that clip there that unless youve had that lived experience you can actually bring it to the role let me say this just to everybody around the around the globe even in america the theyre watching this can understand Research Report comes out in los angeles a color of what they actually break out africans from native blacks and one of the 1st reports to be done like this was done by the Federal Reserve along with several economists one being said he dared and what you saw is that the middle nigerian family in los angeles is worth about 140000. 00 heart almost 70000. 00 of his liquid the middle native like them in los angeles is what 200. 00 what were not dealing with is not only the fact that they have this well which is which puts them on par with White America in many ways but also where does it come from now you come back to what Samuel Jackson was saying his last his most important there or our point was that they had in a rational dating for a 100 years understand during those years we had jim crow and red lining its not just about being black in mel it is about lineage its about the narrative of what we went through and the fact that weve been locked out of being american for so long and now as we push through all of a sudden we want to let you blackness but not discuss what that means get i want to play one more clip because i found this came on one of my colleagues al jazeera found this clip today and sent me the link to it its a story about how interest alva got his role on the wire have a huge thing in baltimore for a very long time this is a remarkable story thank you to complex media for allowing us to pay this clip this is how it to. Yes but his wairau. Alexa fogel was a carson directed i was really into scene newtown and she met me and she said i love you i got to bring you into this whole question but then prove its me you can tell me from east london that want to walk in you got to talk which x. And you live in brooklyn right you gotta sit in the barbershop talk all day i was ok. So my 1st additional moten name. I had to just pretend shes outside the door shes likely to go with it hey harry is it just doubling down or so i said and i did my 1st edition david great great. Assume i came can you see my African American simply kind of fear yes have you ever faced an american accent to get out all the all the time you know you do you know its its you know how do you not fake an american accent you get to try that embody the humanity of the people im like i get the discussion and i get that the payment of all of this young lady playing tom and im disrespecting africanamerican up to america i think from an artistic point of years and i misses and i as an adult so then i think you want to be a compass everything and everything and i understand i just i think African Americans in the direct descendants of slavery understand where that comes from soup because. In the one sense hollywood has let people of color out of oh oh oh oh oh oh the discussion and so yes theyre fighting for that place i get that but im not an artistic sense. I dont know we like to think that we as obvious should be able to play this and as long as we can embody those characters and true of this unit or otherwise tell you console me that any american should play an operative well then this interview is that i think theres a wizard i think a city as well you know when you have roles for africanamerican man. And beat you need 7 white males have 7 times those roles so youre talking about scarcity so i understand very much what antonio is saying in terms of as an african a africanamerican man or a person their unique. Experiences that have occurred here that have not occurred elsewhere even though i myself come from descendants of slaves in barbados colonization resulted in africans being treated horribly and so we all have a story of pain and suffering and oppression that continues to this day so for Samuel Jackson to say british blasted omarion ways for hundreds of years thats kind of oversimplifying the issue right black brits are suffering you have the winbush issue now where people who came from the caribbean to work in britain no longer have papers because the British Government decided to throw and i think. You have to do and i have worked right so weve had these horrible experiences throughout the diaspora we have got to come to a point where we see this as how do we work with what we know how do we work with this scarcity that we currently have to make it abundant just within the scarcity were talking about their city antonio when we talk about scarcity i want to bring this to you because this is a former guest of the show this is talib kweli who tweeted august 6th this is inexcusable inexcusable you should be ashamed of yourselves for creating a hate cult that leads to antiblack tweets like this and he tags you in this tweet here would you say to people that say this is anti immigration rhetoric and this is antiblack rhetoric that you guys should have never put something on the screen this is trash its basically a statement against black voters and black people in america basically saying the same things that other governments do inside of their citizenship if you look at the good name citizenship basically they set it up where they dont have to do this its already preset into the citizenship that you get certain benefits from being there and having a long lineage there thats not the case in america birthright citizenship came through the slate and was basically given to everyone and thats.

Indias decision as you can see right there there have been demonstrations 2 in the indian capital this one organized by left wing groups but there is also significant support for the Indian Governments actions a bill splitting the region into 2 was approved by parliament with a huge majority lets cross over to that it was in pakistan administered kashmir and some of the fortys in pakistan have now announced a series of actions that they will take just talk us through them. Yes during in the last few minutes the joint session of the parliament concluded with a resolution that had been unanimously approved condemning indias action to split the region into and repealing the special status that enjoyed previously weve been hearing fiery speeches from politicians on both sides of the aisle. Try and force the government to come up with a concrete plan of action after indias decision their National Security committee met for a few hours with an earlier in the day and it came up with a number of recommendations including a downgrading diplomatic ties it is worth noting that pakistan has not cut off its diplomatic ties but it has it is not going to be sending its ambassador and his indian ambassador good record back to new delhi if i can is also suspending trade work around 2000000000. 00 a year and it will be looking at other measures to highlight this issue with its allies on a diplomatic front as well the dissolution which we saw from the parliament also said that about nash Independence Day coming up on the 14th of august will be in solidarity with means by sundays will not be celebrating but rather coming out in the streets and in control inside it directly with the media brothers and sisters according to the foreign minister of pakistan we have been hearing from the government which has been under a lot of pressure by the opposition saying that all of these actions should have been taken immediately its taken days for the pakistani government to react and weve been hearing for it as them from both sides as we heard a frustrated Prime Minister asking the opposition yes that is saying that what do they want him to do because they want him to declare war which is not on the cards many people have seen these actions and these decisions that have been taken by the pakistani government with a sigh of relief because there was an escalation as we saw in the military commanders coming together earlier saying that pakistan will go to any extent in solidarity with the kashmiri people also weve been hearing from government ministers thing that all options are on the Table Including stepping up pakistans military presence on the line of control that division one which demarcates the 2 sides and you yourself has been speaking to families along that line of control what are they telling you about what theyve been experiencing. Yesterday weve been we spent the day with a number of families here in the pakistani side of me theyve been telling us that its been days since they have been able to get in touch with their families this city areas the areas there are really populations are based on the internet and phone lines have been cut are cut off for about 3 days but the outlying areas where the Indian Military has been expanding its presence and influence people have not been able to get through to their family members a number of people cried in front of us the thing that they believe that rumors are about and that many people have been killed and they believe that some of their relatives might be among those people whove been killed there about 35000 people. Whove come to this side of the line of control who live here in various camps in the theyre desperate for news from their loved ones the the blockade by the Indian Government on all sorts of communication coming out of the valley continues ok thank you for how does the region look on a map well here is what india considers to be its sovereign territory but it its a bit more complicated on the ground india administer as part of the disputed kashmir region pakistan another china also administer as part of the territory the indian and pakistan administered parts of kashmir are separated by the internationally recognized line of control now as you heard earlier there have been some protests inside indian administered kashmir against new delhi delis decision Priyanka Gupta has more from new delhi. Very Little Information is trickling in and out of the meat and distant smear what we do know is that tens of thousands of indian Security Forces have managed to put a lid on protests in the region for the time being but there have been sporadic protests mostly led by young people who are angry about the complete Telecommunications Blackout in the region and we are getting conflicting reports about one protest who died while what protestors were trying to defy curfew or duis and heat and drought in the river while trying to duck from a Security Forces 2 others we believe are critically injured and are right now out of the main hospital in srinagar but for the time being there are no major protests in parts of india at mrs bush but the but the concern really among family members. Rees outside the region and also people inside is that there is no way to communicate and no way to know whats happening in the area so even for journalists really hard to find formation from the place where many inside indian administered kashmir believe indias ruling party want to change the makeup of the regions population pfizer male has more from. This is one of the many displacement camps for hundreds of thousands of kashmiri hindus who fled religious violence in the mirror valley back in 1909 and the early 1990 s. Many of them ended up here in germany which is the hindu majority area of india administered kashmir and as you can see the camp has become a lot more permanent over the years as hopes of returning home have slowly faded but now that the Indian Government has revoked the autonomy for the region and has passed legislation to split the region into 2 federally run territories hopes here have been rekindled that some of these people or their descendants may be able to return to their homes in the neighboring Kashmir Valley many people here were against autonomy they say that they believe to kept out. Development and investment and now theres economic potential for them and everyone else but the issues of india to mr kashmir wont be resolved by the simple stroke of a pen the shut down remains in the near valley and even here in jump public assemblies have been banned as a measure to control riding as well many hindus are questioning the realities of going back to their homes who will guarantee their lives and livelihoods who will ensure their safety and will be welcomed by their muslim neighbors given the tensions that still remain here in the region theres been a breakthrough in talks between turkey and the us over a proposed safe zone inside syria turkeys Defense Ministry says the 2 sides have agreed to coordinate what its calling a peace corps door on turkeys southern border it comes after 3 days of often tense negotiations is in a hole that has the latest from gaza into. 3 days of talks in ankara between high level delegations from the pentagon and the turkish Defense Ministry have reached some sort of a breakthrough the United States and turkey have now agreed on creating a safe zone along syrias North Eastern border that area is under the control of the white peachy the Syrian Kurdish armed group which is allied to the United States turkey believes that group is a terrorist organization and it believes its presence along the border and its presence all together really is a threat to this country so that is why turkey has been insisting on creating this stone it also wants to create the zone to allow Syrian Refugees to return and thats why in the statement they talk about an agreement to set up a peace accord or now the turkey and the turkish and the american delegate delegates agreed to set up a joint Coordination Center which means that these 2 nato allies which their relationship really has been strained over this particular issue have now agreed to Work Together which means any unilateral actions at least for the time being are now off the table turkey has repeatedly said if there is no agreement it is going to carry out. A unilateral cross border operation into syria to deal with the why p. G. Threat so right now turkey and the United States agreeing to Work Together but theres still no agreement on how how this is done is going to look like the length the deps who is going to control it and the fate of the white p. G. And those really have been very contentious issues the deep differences between the both sides as they have been negotiating for months trying to solve just those issues. Thousands of people have staged a peaceful protest against a gold mine project in the west of turkey activists say the Canadian Based Company will use cyanide to extract gold from the mines and contaminate the soil and waters often nearby dam the turkish government has rejected the allegations weve barkers at the protest site in china are actually province these are the cows mountains and not too far away from here is the peak of mt i mentioned an ancient mythology is the place where the gods look down on the trojan war will mount environmentalist looking down on a very different struggle a struggle for the Natural Environment theres gold in these hills which has led to a massive scar on the landscape 1500 hectares in size. And near that mine this makeshift camp has been set up protesters have been Holding Daily demonstrations they say they will continue for as long as it takes according to environmentalists 195000 trees have been cut down thats 4 times the number that the canadian based Gold Mining Company our most gold and its turkish subsidiary. Said they were going to cut down in an initial Environmental Impact report theres also a huge amount of concern about the possible use of liquid cyanide to separate the gold form it saw concerns cyanide will pollute the topsoil will also leach into the local water supply. Well the turkish subsidiary behind the mines say that they will replace thousands of trees but there are worries that time is running out to save the soil concerns about desert afic ation meaning that plant trees will no longer be able to grow here the government has denied that theres any risk of cyanide affecting the saw or indeed Water Supplies but these people arent too sure
