The brother of george floyd makes a plea to the u. N. Human Rights Council as a Police Officer is charged over another African American death in custody. In mexico pushes on with getting back to business one admitting that its under estimating the true scale of its coronavirus. Donald trump asked chinas president xi jinping for help to win this years u. S. Election thats one of a number of startling allegations made in a yet to be released book by the u. S. President s former National Security advisor john bolton the trumpet ministration is currently fighting to prevent its publication in exits prince it in 2 newspapers also says the trunk was attempting obstruction of justice as a way of life by interfering in criminal investigations involving chinese and Turkish Companies and that sect. Dri of state might bump a 0 dismissed trumps attempts at diplomacy with north korea as having 0 probability of success another excerpt talks about how Intelligence Briefings involved more time listening to trump the trump listening to the briefs joel rubin is a former United StatesDeputy Assistant secretary of state and the president of Washington Strategy group he says its yet another example of the president using his office for personal benefit. Well these revelations are damning and it clearly shows the President Trump sold us out for his own personal political gain he made requests of china for example about their requesting that they interfere in our democratic election to help him win in order for him to to safely stay in the presidency asking for a foreign power help one be the american president is deeply problematic and that is why he got impeached so these are damning revelations theyre not surprising for those of us who have been arguing for years that donald trump is corrupting the presidency and it is disappointing that john bolton is only putting these on the book now president having taken a principled stand when he could have done something about it and thats what the president s men do and thats what weve seen them do throughout his presidency when they leave suddenly they find courage like general mattis finding courage to speak out about Donald Trumps failure to address racism in this country and worse so its a real problem to see this administration continually deny that the president is engaged in illegal behavior with Foreign Government to help him win politically and where theres smoke theres fire so lighthouses argument really doesnt stand much chance in john boltons got the records i think to prove it small and speak to mike hanna whos live for us in washington d. C. Mike things of course are extracts from a book that the white house would rather not get published. Very much so the white house has been attempting to stop publication of this book its going to a federal court in d. C. To ask for the publication to be prohibited that case still going ahead but with all these excerpts already be made public thats likely to bolster the courts position that it would follow precedent that Supreme Court has laid down a precedent that it will not see government interference in free speech as anything other than censorship so its unlikely that the court was going to rule in the administrations favor in the 1st place a Senior Administration official has been speaking to reporters claiming that john bolton had gone to the National Security council to get the manuscript vetted but group impatient with the slowness of this and has gone ahead to. Go to publish without getting full in his see approval of the book boltons publishers on the other hand contends that john bolton worked very closely in a vetting process of the book and one of the excerpts that is mentioned in the various publications john bolton refers specifically to the fact that he could use President Trumps exact words for example when he was meeting with president xi however because of the National Security council vetting of the book he wouldnt use the exact words so boltons publishers are absolutely insistent that theres no National Security issue here what there is is a great embarrassment for President Trump and that is not something that could lead to the banning of the publication but certainly the details are very damaging and they are very detailed indeed and well wait and see if as its likely the court rules in favor of the publishers that the public can get a full look at the succumbed within a weeks time and were getting some reaction to the publication of these extracts from the book including from trumps rival joe biden. Yes indeed joe biden has just issued a tweet in which he says on the bolton book revelations if these accounts are true its not only morally repugnant its a violation of donald trump sacred duty to the American People to protect americas interests and defend our values that is going to be pretty typical of reaction from democrats there has been a lot of criticism of john bolton from all parties in recent months and in the past as well bolton is very much a hawkish conservative questions were being asked why he did not go before the House Committee when trump was being impeached he was invited to do so but refused to appear the House Committee decided not to subpoena him because that would have taken a long Court Process which would have led to a delay in the impeachment bolton subsequently did agree to appear before the Senate Committee but he was not invited because the senate didnt hear any witnesses on that impeachment process so there has been criticism of bolton full of the fact that hes been silent for so long only breaking his silence now months off that hes left office but despite all of that one must remember he was a close adviser to President Trump for 17 months he is a known conservative criticism from a source such as this is particularly damaging to the Trump Administration and the criticism is very thorough as i said it is very detailed and it costs a very dark light indeed on the activities of President Trump in the white house out of there as mike hanna reporting live from washington mike many thanks indeed and in the last few minutes the president has hit back at his president ial rival joe biden tweeting that joe biden was a total failure in government he quote bungled everything that he touched or both he also claims that trump told chinas leaders that beijings mass internments of other ethnic minorities was. Exactly the right thing to do this is despite trump publicly condemning the vast attentions earlier on wednesday trump signed into law an act that all that arises sanctions for chinese officials involved trump says he regards some provisions in the act as normal binding. The u. S. Has welcomed efforts by china and india to talk of the ease tension after fighting on the disputed border in the himalayas 20 indian soldiers died in whats being described as brawling in the got one valley region china hasnt said if there were any casualties on that side of the serious coffee lopez hayam reports. In the remote western himalayas there is little evidence of what indian and chinese soldiers to their worst of violence indicates both sides keep different versions of the violence and how it unfolded. Amid a call for deescalation the body of a soldier is laid to rest indias army said there were casualties on both sides with no shots fired according to media reports no soldiers drowned allegedly punched and shoved onto rocks and eventually falling into a river with severe head injuries. Chinese military drills like this one have become more common both sides have increased their military presence in recent months with tension rising over who owns what land. The border has been disputed since india and china went to war in 1062. 00 the line in yellow is the socalled line of actual control but there are several disputed areas on either side one of the main ones is excite sheen its claimed by india that administered by china. China says their shared interests are stronger than their conflicts but it also has a warning which we once again ask india to act on our consensus and strictly disciplined us troops not to cross the line to provide it and not to take unilateral action that may complicate the situation. Prime minister Narendra Modi says india wants peace but is ready to defend itself. I want to assure the nation that the 2nd feists our soldiers have made will not stories waste for us the integrity of india and our sovereignty is the most important thing and nobody can stop us from protecting them. From families its a time of mourning his father says he cant leave his son a colonel is dead now and you feel under deep shock after hearing about my sons misfortune i never expected this. Not much Indian Officials have rejected accusations they cause this escalation furious protesters say china must be punished the debate over this border isnt new but beijing strained relationship with the u. S. May have fueled mistrust and its true that india has to do several steps in recent times. To have a closer military relationship with the United States.

And if you have its katrina in beijing will tell us more about chinas accusations against india but 1st an update from elizabeth 4 on a new delhi. Boy Foreign Ministrys have released statements saying that theyre going to deescalate the situation on the border as soon as possible that follows a phone conversation between the Foreign Ministers but whats really interesting is that they continue to blame each other for what happened for the violence in the strongest possible terms both sides maintaining that it was the other that trespassed on their territory started the violence and also that it was the other that broke the june 6th agreement to deescalate here and the other government is under pressure to both explain how 20 soldiers were killed along the border for the 1st time in 45 years and also to take action against what happened. For the past 10 days the government had been assuring people that any border disputes could be solved through dialogue and while many defense experts were accusing china of encroaching on indias territory the government said that the situation was under control now we are seeing those protests its more in many cities around india with the burning of chinese flags but weve also got reports of Residents Welfare was so situations asking people to throw out the chinese products and weve seen videos of people doing so as well is that we also have a hyper nationalist media and you were blaming china for what happened and theyve also joined the chorus here of asking the Indian Government what its going to do to retaliate to respond to the deaths of the 20 soldiers china says its in close communication with india by both diplomatic and military channels Foreign Ministry spokesperson jolly gen spoke to the media today on wednesday and said that both sides were intent on resolving this dispute through peaceful dialogue and that china did not want to see any further clashes at the same time jolly jen laid the blame for the deadly brawl on monday so we at the feet of india according to beijing the truce lands actually reached a consensus on the border dispute on june 6th but indian troops violated this consensus and he said they provoked and attacked chinese personnel he also went on to urge the Indian Military to discipline its troops he went on to say further that the location where this altercation took place the Golden Valley he said that this was and has always been chinese territory something thats heavily disputed by india and he said that clearly it was clear who was on the right and the wrong side of this clash that resulted in the deaths of those soldiers on monday now according to indian media there were chinese casualties as well but the Chinese Government as you. To release any numbers and there is some speculation that they may never release these numbers a state media here are saying that this is in fact a sign of goodwill from beijing an example of beijing wanting to pursue peace with india and not wanting to spark any confrontational sentiment that may lead to all out conflict.

Exam court has found 7 west papuan human rights activists guilty of treason the men were arrested in the popcorn capital job during an antiracism demonstration last august up to 11 months in jail but human rights activists say the defendants should never have been arrested in the 1st place jessica washington reports. Outside the courtroom in East Kalimantan a small crowd gathered to support the defendants waiting for the verdict in a highly controversial trial the sparse and socially distanced demonstration a stark contrast to last years in indonesias papa when tens of thousands gathered to protest against racism against indigenous pop ones 7 men were arrested accused of involvement in the protests the provinces of purple and west papuan have been under indonesian rule since 969 and since then some have called for the regions independence the indonesian government has tried to quite shy any separatist movements in the resource rich provinces including the burning of the morning star flag which has become a symbol of pop on independence. The men were moved from pub to kalimantan thousands of kilometers from friends and family and because of covered 9000 restrictions the trial was held on Video Conference prosecutors sought sentences between 5 and 17 years instead all the men was sentenced to less than one year. You know what we find the defendant guilty of treason by the group. Theyve already been in prison since september so it should only be a matter of months before they release but we believe that they should have never been arrested in the 1st place they were just that racism and they were just doing this for. Expression so they have committed no crime and they are just you know still an activist political activist here in retrospect because. They cant be in prison solely for peaceful exercising their rights.
