Referendum on amending russias constitution which would allow him to stay in power once his term ends it will take place in less than 30 days. Good afternoon just a day here choose to the 2nd of june 2020 live from world news h. Q. Moscow russia its kevin 0 in here this hour to take you through the headlines in more detail so well the big news again coming from the United States theyre calling it the worst race riots since the 1960 s. There with the nation gripped by violent protests for 7 days straight over the death of george floyd at the hands of the police at least 40 cities have imposed curfews with the National Guard updated in at least 23 states as well as washington d. C. So 1st off the mayor of new york has extended a citywide curfew as more looting erupted in midtown manhattan thousands of a straw for says were sent into areas where there was particularly violent damage to property and the governor of new york says that violent protesters obscure the righteousness of their message. No this is over in washington there are protesters at a peaceful rally initially were forced off the streets with tear gas and stun grenades to clear the way for President Trump to have his photo taken outside a church near the white house he later warned that if the unrest continues he says hell do whatever it takes to stop the cales. In recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tea for and others today i have strongly recommend it to every governor to deploy the National Guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them trumps words havent gone down well with several governors then who condemned his remarks as inflammatory and dangerous next are to americas foreign friends that was there for us just before the protesters were moved on. Before there was hundreds around this afternoon now there are at least thousands here in front of the white house i want to talk about the people that are here in front of me right now we have a lot of young old black white browed all together standing in unity saying that they want a peaceful protests now trump is calling on state and local leaders to crack down on these and get tougher on protesters actually unloading on governors earlier today calling them quote weak now. Has called in the entire d. C. National guard which is made up of about 700 soldiers to help control these protests metro Police Arrested 18 people ranging from 18 to 34 years old in there also putting pictures out on social media with images of people caught on security footage asking for the publics help in identifying them now today president met with attorney general bill barr who actually took a step outside on the grounds here in between all of the Natural Police the park police and the d. C. National guard to take a look at what was going on with the protesters hes also the one thats fast track in the investigation into george floyd now ivan youre with protesters all afternoon i was saving how ben wanting to remain very peaceful there was a couple skirmishes between a couple protesters going over that barricade and some Police Actually bring them down telling them they had to say behind that barricade now taking a look behind me i want you to see there is those these different lines if you can see through these protesters where youre going to have your timeline of d. C. Police but now the National Guard and the military police are actually on that flight line now from veteran u. S. Newsman and host larry king told us the current Political Leadership is failing to handle the situation. Im so sad and over all this because as a nation we seem to have progress and then we take a step back it amazes me the civil wars is over yet were still racism in america is so saying what we need now is a leader to lead us down trump has no empathy and youve got to have empathy at this time so we need a leader to take us forward without bad and the sadness of what we see on the screen in washington blames the governors and its all blame kicking around is just so damn sad so dont trump threats to send in the military to quell the nationwide protests has left some World Leaders scratching their heads 3 previously condemned them for being tough on violence in their countries were enough for a city correspondent were gusty of human rights human lives seamless cheap nowadays look at whats happening we have Police Brutality systemic racism inequality riots on top of mass protests on top of an economic crisis on top of a pandemic. Brights pale in comparison and that isnt me saying so we can all see it. The. Law. The. Law that. The people have died even killing if the court agrees hundreds have been hurt entire streets looted and torched the structure rage and anger of them on both sides thats hate all something thats going to disappear in a week 4000 people have been arrested in just days and you know what sort enough trump wants to make an example youve got to arrest people you have to track people you have to put them in jail for 10 years and youll never see this stuff again you have to dominate or youll look like a bunch of jerks the 1st amendment of the Us Constitution guarantees peoples right to peaceful protest to freedom of speech and to the right of the press to do its thing heres what the police think of that pain bulls and rubber bullets a literal slap to the face with little concern that theyre shooting at a journalist so Peaceful Protesters fielded it time and time again but lets be frank police under huge pressure rises mean goal with the protesters looting and burning and egging everyone else on that they must be dealt with but like these. No wheres the condemnation we want to see the discoloration of all of those tensions in america come together that all the journalists so much as trip suvir in china for example and Rights Groups get an aneurism yes check for yourself their websites Human Rights Watch for example little to nothing mentioned a vicious protests ken roth the director of h. R. W. Is doing his absolute best to ignore whats happening in america tweeting instead about hong kong and china the irony is overwhelming just weeks ago washington was preaching to everyone about how sacred protests are the United States is gravely concerned by the deepening political unrest and violence in hong kong including the standoff between protesters and police free to rape or warning about any decision by rehman elements of the mature regime to use violence to repress press the peaceful democratic transition the iranian people are once again on the streets because of the regimes poor economic management. And instead of it dressing their grievances tehran has responded with violence and by blaming those outside of the country naturally those usually on the receiving end of american lectures have not passed this opportunity to sleep america off proverbially speaking china tweeting the snooping of the protests in america i cant breathe and others joining in on this chorus of counter condemnation to the American People. Their walled has got hurt your outcry over it is the it operation the wall deuce standing. There america this year is pursuing violence and bullying to tell me an approach. Why does the us glorify hong kong riotous as heroes and warriors while calling those us people who protests against racism right says the u. S. Blames restraint and civilized Law Enforcement while threatening to shoot protesters and mobilizing National Security in the u. S. U. S. Practices are world famous double standard what they dont get is that america is exceptional if said it plenty of times the congressmen the officials the president most americans thought that included then it never did its the state thats exceptional those in power the police the military theyre exceptional the American People know that then you would just like everybody else. A private postmortem examination arranged by George Floyds family has found that he died from asphyxiation as a result of compression to the neck its in contradiction then to the preliminary findings which claimed preexisting medical conditions as the cause of death the autopsy also ruled that stilled floyds death was homicide while noting that he was intoxicated the time and had Heart Disease video floyd pleading with the officer kneeling on his neck that he couldnt breathe has now been shared countless times and left Many Americans anguished and angry at the sight of the lethal arrest georges brother appealed for protesters to remain calm and peaceful. Discouraged. By i dont know why i was not asked if i was so sorry. Oh. Nothing. So the latest census to emerge on video next protesters beating a man who isnt willing a machete in dallas texas its claimed he was trying to protect the neighborhood from looters reports say he was hospitalized but in a stable condition now this is new and check this troubling scenes during new yorks tuesday night curfew a man thought to be a Police Officer was struck by hit and run driver propelling him into the air theres no official word from the Police Department yet but news reports say a Police Sergeant 2 was taken to hospital in a serious condition there are also other incidents involving new york Law Enforcement we can too. Police Department Vehicles filmed driving into a group home saturday after standoff with protest as a separate video showing an officer pointing his gun at protest as after a colleague was assaulted new York City Police say about 6 incidents a county being investigated in contrast to those clashes though check this in efforts to build bridges Police Offices in some cities have been seen symbolically kneeling in solidarity with the protesters. Of all. Of the thinking oh oh. Oh oh oh. Oh oh. Oh. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. If the police are going to kneel with protest as if theyre going to. Embrace and to protest is desk good because the police are human too the solution is in building a relationship with each other in it also seeing the human factor that does that also exist and it is a part of deceit quaid i served as a Police Officer myself for 24 years here in washington d. C. And i witnessed Police Brutality about some of the people that i worked with there were several cases that i was involved in because i reported Police Officers for all this misconduct and holders for challenges its about time that we have some i would say several into bichon in it because it just makes sense that this should be some federal standards associated with Police Behavior in our cities and then community exactly quarter past. You know as this is all to International Coming up after the break the killing of an unarmed disabled palestinian man by police in jerusalem sees locals talk comparisons with George Floyds death his family speak to us like tell us what happened. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing Dramatic Development the only posts really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. I know. No shots. Actually felt. Very strong no 1st. Point ch your thirst for action. Again with the Health Crisis leveling off here in russia president putin set a new date for the referendum on changes to the constitution then the nationwide votes no sheffield for the 1st of july if approved the changes will allow mr putin to remain in power after his current terms over the vote is one of several events that disrupted by the current pandemic so things are going to have to be done little differently assess could tell a told me early. But we know that as a result of coronavirus numerous events on political issues had to be put on the back here in russia 2 major events was perspiring this spring the fos being the famous victory day parade that for the 1st time in 25 years didnt take place on the night that may the 2nd being the referendum on changes to the constitution now that was initially set to take place on the 22nd of april but as that 900. 00 gripped the country it was indefinitely delayed however on monday president putin announced that the nationwide vote will be going ahead on the fust of july it was. Some of the 1st of july looks like the right day for holding the russian constitutional referendum 1st of all from a legal angle this date is perfect if we announce today that voting will take place in exactly 30 days it will give people an opportunity to go back to the proposed amendments once again and to determine their attitude towards them secondly is the situation with the corona virus infections improves in the fight against the epidemic there was an opportunity in the next 30 days to take extra steps to upgrade the situation now this has been in the works for a long time back in january so a major shakeup in russian politics including the appointment of a new Prime Minister and it was back then that problem appeared to propose really a constitutional overhaul the proposed changes have been approved by both houses and parliament so lets take a quick look at some of the amendments that russians would be for too long to come july fust. So a clear theme is that the post of president will be reconstructed and in many ways restricted with numerous responsibilities being shifted to parliament as to in which direction we expect the vote to swing while a recent poll found that 61 percent of people will vote in favor of the changes such as sort of gives you an idea now of course 2021 to be 2020 without a few social distancing measures and in order to conduct the referendum safely which is of course the priority some regions will be able to vote online others potentially useful from the home as for the polling stations themselves while theres a maximum of 8 people will be able to post that ballots hourly and that will of course be disposable one time use pans as well as temperature scans so its definitely going to look a bit different but either way a sign that things are normalizing and that the country is moving on from this Health Crisis and beginning to address of the business. Understand that on sunday for the funeral of a disabled palestinian man who was killed by Israeli Police died on saturday in jerusalem while on his way to a special needs educational facility Israeli Police suspected him of carrying a weapon after he failed to obey orders to stop they then opened fire but it was later confirmed that he was unarmed his family have been describing how the tragedy unfolded. He was just a peaceful boy who was heading to school for students with special needs he always took the same route for the last 6 years and his teacher previously introduced him to the officers of the Police Station nearby so they knew him they saw him passing by all these years their surveillance cameras were seeing him every day too soon as the policeman brought my son to the schools gate he killed the boy he got scared he was kneeling for the policeman and this teacher was also standing beside him trying to explain that the boy had disabilities and that he. Had an id card to prove it but they pushed his teacher away and then killed my son shot him multiple times while he was kneeling is then that they have a yes they dare to tell me my son had a gun my son was afraid of the needle how to keep carry a gun he didnt even know the days of the week or the dates all those simple things he just couldnt understand how can you call such a person a criminal or terrorist he was disabled and he should have had more protection then every rich person and yet he was executed in cold blood while the news that he went to a special school which also was an International Facility around 200 people gathered near jerusalems Police Headquarters on sunday to protest years killing comparing it with the death of george floyd in the us and carrying banners with slogans saying palestinian lives matter the killing was denounced by palestinian leaders as a war crime calling Prime Minister netanyahu responsible for the execution of a young disabled man Israeli Defense ministers apologize for the deadly shooting. In the. Story about the incident in which he had halleck was shot to death and be showing the familys grief but im confident this subject will be investigated swiftly and conclusions will be reached. Even similar deaths in recent months a palestinian teenager was killed in may the army raid on a refugee camp officials stressed at the time the soldiers were being attacked with rocks and then in february another teenager was killed in clashes with Israeli Forces which accused him of throwing petrol bombs it hallock family told us as far as theyre concerned in their case the police violated all laws.

Were getting help the most important things are diapers and milk for my baby because i have a 10 month old baby and i have an 11 year old son.

The government has dealt with these emergencies by providing food parcels help in so serious issues like ours it has taken various measures and surely we must do more laws that do not look after the people and the fact immigrants this lack of attention as long we create to manage difficulties its a pandemic did the rest of ice and in many workers and shop owners interview its. Fairly familiar one online news resource used by tens of millions of people every day is about to lose its human touch microsoft is axing dozens of journalists who cure rate stories for its website and apps because it says ai software can do the job simply better robots are supplanting workers in other jobs to take these synthetic Staff Members what could go wrong giving a new twist to a computer server at a Chinese Restaurant in the netherlands but giving says there are some jobs of course that no perceived as too dangerous or difficult where its perhaps better to let the machines do the heavy lifting and on top of that the coronavirus pandemic is seeing companies having to ramp up the automation as stuff stayed home we brought together an Artificial Intelligence research or. And a leading social Sciences Academic to ask which way humanities haver work. Who the winners and losers are thats the big question and thats where we need some political control to make sure that it doesnt end up with mass unemployment and all the benefits of that huge productivity increase ending up in the hands of us a few very wealthy people we can now i think we can trust you can trust were boards because in most of the times they have predesigned auctions so theyre at their own their mistakes rate is is very low so i dont see any. Problems some paid work is really quite crucial to peoples lives people who dont have any paper people are unemployed although in theory they can theyre all sorts of things it doesnt work out well their Mental Health becomes very or but even with just a small amount of paid work just one day a week even that that amounts could really protect peoples well being and they get the best of both worlds they can that also enjoy much more leisure time i dont see any problem you know accepting automation and we can see it is in a month of up and change nowadays and all the people who most of us when we work with devices more buyers and and all this technology so i think is a Natural Steps for the next few.
