President offers to mediate a border dispute between india and china. Welcome to the program u. S. President doll trump has made his frustration with social Media Companies official he signed an executive order a few hours ago seeking to have the likes of twitter and facebook reclassified as publishers and stripped them of legal immunity over the content of their sites hes been angered by twitters labeling of 2 of his tweets on postal voting as misleading and referring users to a Fact Checking page trump says the fact checks were editorial decisions that amount to political activism they had unchecked power to censor restrict. Virtually any form of communication between private citizens or large public audiences there is no president in American History for so small a number of corporations to control so large a sphere of Human Interaction and that includes individual people controlling vest amounts of territory and we can. Well earlier i spoke to john malcolm the Vice President of the institute for consist of Constitutional Government and senior legal fellow of the Heritage Foundation and i asked him how all of this will affect what trump says on social media. The president s position are on the vulnerabilities to Election Integrity created by mail in ballots is supported by many experts in this field and by adding a fact check to that it was for one purpose and one purpose only and that was to cast a doubt on what the president was paying over the president was saying that is a political opinion and you know the president i think was justifiable at least in that instance in being upset it was somebody who was trying to thought there or temper his message are on a on a legitimate issue of public concern i get i dont defend every tweet that the president sends out i dont agree with every tweet that the president sent out but that one was certainly perfectly reasonable and twitters fact check was designed to cast doubt on what is a very legitimate political ok well then why didnt its fact check the Joe Scarborough tweet that was what just over a week ago when donald trump questioned. This former legislator who is now a t. V. Show host talking about a murder that happened not a murder a death that happened in the office of Joe Scarborough of an interne who fell over banged her head had underlying heart problems that was all out in the open yet President Trump is now questioning this and even suggests that Joe Scarborough got away with murder why wasnt that fact checked why wasnt that to heated. You have to catch twitter why they chose to fact check something about mail in ballots and the threat that he poses to Election Integrity rather then that tweet again people may like the president s tweets and they may support him for them or they might might find them offensive and choose to vote against him in the next election but that is not what twitter was all about and in fact they chose not were some reason to fact check that one they chose to back check one about mail in ballots which is far more controversial than thousands of people are protesting in the u. S. State of minnesota of the death of a black man in Police Custody. Many. Demonstrators are demanding justice for george floyd who died in minneapolis on monday is the 3rd day of protests across the state with large conference planned in other parts of the country this weekend at the same time the National Guard has been called in following 2 days of protests in minneapolis looting fires and riots broke out in parts of the city a wednesday night with demonstrators demanding justice the Police Officers involved have been fired but many want them to see Face Criminal Charges the attorney general for the district of minnesota has promised a robust and meticulous investigation into George Floyds death we have been working on this case nonstop since we were notified. We understand this a very of the situation unfolding it breaks my heart to see what is going on in our streets in minneapolis and in st paul and in some of our suburbs and i am pleading i am pleading with individuals. To remain calm and to let us conduct this investigation. Keith is a professor of africanamerican and African Studies at the university of minnesota he says without the video of George Floyds death its likely the case would have been buried. Previous cases have not resulted in a conviction we had 11. 00 case the Philander Castille case where the Police Officer was charge he was acquitted so this time around people are wondering if this is going to be the case where a black family receives justice so it is its highly highly important critical critical that the Police Officer or offer service plural are charged in this case i think its been feeling in Police Training i think the Police Officers and also the larger Law Enforcement community and the city as well as politicians are paying lip service or giving lip service to this whole question of changing the Institutional Culture of Law Enforcement and we have but we have not seen the difference if they are being trained they said this after tomorrow clark which is another case in north minneapolis where young man was killed by the police and certainly they said that they would change their practices at the fernando castiel a few years ago and i think that they probably will say the same thing but the fail failure is and leadership. And local leadership state leadership but also the failure is with the practices of the police themselves without the tape without the video theres no case we would not have known about george floyd and the murder of mr floyd by the Minneapolis Police department and i think that it begs the question how many more of these incidences in this city across the United States are across the world for that matter or taking place on a regular basis perhaps on a daily basis because they are not they have not been captured on video so yes the video is important and without it there is no case we dont we have not we would not have arrived at this moment in time. Chinas parliament has rubberstamp day new set of security laws for hong kong despite protests and International Warnings the wide ranging laws which include a ban on treason session and subversion could come into effect within weeks adrian brown reports from hong kong. Hong kongs people had no say in the decision to impose a new security law on this city that was not a concern among people we spoke to in the north point district where many mainland immigrants live. Of course we will have peace now hong kong has been so chaotic the protesters even went to the United States to ask them to put sanctions on hong kong what a mess they have made. The young may have different thought before as the elderly the law we make our country prosperous and stable but other elderly people are fearful and scared to come because you know all freedom for their speech no freedom for. Democracy so ski since 1907 when hong kong was returned from british the chinese rule this city has operated under a unique one country 2 systems formula intended to guarantee the citys legal political and economic arrangements the question now is whether the experiment has failed bid local historian john carroll insists thats not the case no sooner had the sign of british joint declaration been signed in december 1084 people are already talking about the death of hong kong and i mean thats been going on for years and years and years and hong kong is not dead and i dont see hong kong dying so. Chinas leaders insist the new security law d will save hong kong not kill it so the vote by Chinas Parliament on thursday to approve the law was never in doubt you could. She called other the Central Government has always emphasized the comprehensive an accurate implementation of one country 2 Systems Hong Kong ruling hong kong and its high degree of autonomy it strictly follows the constitution and the basic law and supports the Hong Kong Government and its chief executive to govern according to the law bypassing hong kongs legislature the rubber stamp National Peoples congress has now paved the way for mainland security agents to operate here in marked contrast to these orderly scenes there was more disruption in hong kongs parliament. When 3 legislators were ejected during a heated debate about another proposed law that would make it an offense to disrespect chinas National Anthem both measures have prompted demonstrations and a warning from the United States government that its special trading status with the city could be about to end raising concerns about its continued status as asias leading Financial Center adrian brown aljazeera hong kong. The United Nations Security Council has also voiced concern at china of the National Security laws on the whole cold requesting an urgent meeting diplomatic to james bays has more from un headquarters in new york. It was the u. S. Mission to the United Nations that requested a Security Council meeting on hong kong a request that was immediately blocked by china but just hours later the issue was raised anyway by a guest speaker at the council the e. U. s Foreign Policy chief and turning to a very recent developments which they cannot stop a bite if. I might express deep concern with the steps taken by a china regards nation or security legislation you are gone. We believe that that is not going to go for mickey with International Commitments nor with the hong kong basic or the chinese position though was firm this was an internal matter none of the Security Councils business how come affairs are purely chinas internet i. F. s and allow no access to no interference it usual of. Has nothing to do with the mandate of the thicker to cancel elsewhere u. N. Headquarters where they were holding an event about Global Development post code 19 a most important player clearly didnt want to take sides are you concerned about the new security law for hong kong today i do not intend to move into areas that are far from what you are discussing today because i dont want to divert attention from something that is very important my spokesperson has already spoken. Yesterday on the before hong kong was handed over to china in 1997 by its colonial rulers the u. K. Many older hong kong is still hold british passports but ones that dont allow them to reside in britain now the u. K. Foreign secretary is proposing to change that status a move thats further likely to anger beijing months if china continues down this path and implemented this National Security legislation we will change that status and we will remove that 6 month limit and allow those being a possible holders to come to the u. K. And to apply to work and study for extended periods of 12 months and that would itself provide a pathway to future citizenship diplomats tell me they expect a number of nations including the u. S. To continue to raise the issue of hong kong and that will only add to the growing tension both here in the United Nations and on the wider global stage between the u. S. And china james space aljazeera at the United Nations well still ahead here on aljazeera. I dont know and thats 10 days tom going to do i really doubt it since its.
