Good morning from russia such as the 6 june 2020 life martys worldviews h. Q. Here in moscow its kevin 0 in with me for the next half hour to take you through those headlines and more in more detail 1st the major demonstrations over the death of george floyd are expected over the weekend in the u. S. Capitol police are warning that saturdays protests could prove to be the largest at the scene in washington americas biggest race protests in half a century show little sign of abating but the riots and rage of now turned into a more peaceful calls for justice and reform. The 1st. I. Guess. The running parallels of all that americas leading Public Health agency the centers for Disease Control and prevention now warning people whove been out protesting to get tested for the coronavirus social distancing protocols have been thrown to the window over the past week despite the us approaching 2000000 infections and over 100000 deaths the governor of new york metaphysic the george floyd crowd will put back efforts to contain the spread. If you were at a protest go get a test please you know social distancing you look at the encounters with the police the police are right in their face theyre right in the face of the police the protesters themselves could wind up causing the spite so my own lists are also wondering whether the polices actions might be a factor as well as mass arrests the use the tear gas will cause people to cough and rub their eyes while Jacqueline Bouvier next looks at how flouting the isolation advice seems to depend on which side of the political fence youre on. Things have gone from 0 to 60 in america not long ago the streets were empty and there was once again birdsong in new york city while tonights story is the story of americas krone bices corona virus crisis we are pounding the table morning noon and night stay home stay home stay home sam jackson with a new poem and take it away so here we go. Stay at all lucked out with experts and officials signaling that it was necessary until daily infections plateau even stepping outside could be putting fellow citizens at risk so when states started to open up to some it felt like human lives were being put on the line others saw their god given rights being infringed on or felt this pharmaco bed was just like another fluke q cornton protests countered by the wrath of the medical Community Wow her coming. For those who decided to get into your car this morning and take adroit and partake in the events today shame on me but in a matter of weeks thats all changed the cause has changed was that i. Was. Very good at those Mass Gatherings are finding support even among doctors and nurses. Right now does that mean that the coronavirus is no longer a threat no of course not but sometimes risks have to be taken to bring about change and many medical workers know the price being black in america something a pandemic will not change and they took my patient away my black eye this is exactly what happened before at the other hospital as soon as i told somebody i mean measurement and trying to advocate for my patient they take the patient away from me and then they. Literally black lives dont matter here share one persons story but thats not the case everywhere just look at the numbers african. American deaths from coban 1000 are nearly 2 times higher than expected on National Average in some states even triple but numbers are being ignored especially 2 meters down just a little distance away George Floyds death has flooded the nation with protests the president seems to think dominating black people dominating Peaceful Protesters is law and order its not he calls them folks who use the folk here so they are frustrated and theyre angry and they are out there i think that the protests make sense i dont think you can process the anger without a some things are worth fighting for systemic racism is one of them but defending the constitution while heavily armed what do you say fox news protestors are saying it up as a people want to go back to work they can people have a right to protest some of these state restrictions may be too severe and as more and more states go online and get their rights back that is going to fuel i believe other states to go so we have one set of protesters good to go but black lives matter and justice for george floyd Public Health experts now fear massive protests could spark new coronavirus outbreaks governor larry hogan of maryland warning that because of the recent protests we could see a 2nd wave of the corona virus when you look at the pictures and consider there is virtually no social distancing and very few people are Wearing Masks add to that smoke from fires and tear gas which makes people cough and youve got a deadly recipe there for possible new infections blink for a 2nd and the narrative changes media medics it doesnt matter everything has flipped the antilock down camp is now calling everyone indoors and the importance of social distancing has now become the time for many to stand together. In new york state an entire Police Crowd Control units reportedly quit after 2 officers were suspended without pay they were filmed aggressively shoving an elderly protest we should show these pictures yesterday goes into full of sustained a serious head wound. It. Was. Obvious in full riot gear forcing a curfew when that happened the Police Departments version of events reported locally says the man tripped and fell on his own local media say the unit were disgusted at the treatment of their fellow officers after what you just saw there who they say were simply following instructions it was later clarified that the officers have stepped down from the Tactical Team but have not resigned as offices. In another development its a merge that george floyd and the former policeman charged with killing him may have crossed paths before both worked as security for the same Minneapolis Club for about a year their former employer told us that derrick show vint could sometimes enter what she described as a mean cop zone. I watched the video that it girlfriend sent to me saying hey this is your this is your car this is shopman and at 1st i didnt recognize him and then i think i saw a clear angle a close up and i realized oh my god that shot and i just started kind of yelling at him to my phone saying stop get off of him what are you doing john and get up what what is wrong with you you know i just couldnt i couldnt fathom what i was seeing i knew that he kind of got into that zone sometimes that that mean cops own or whatever you want to call it make. Believe he was a little bit of humanity they go into this power trip and they kind of get glassy eyed and ive seen now or. You know a lot of people i think a lot of us have thats why they were protesting but. It was really hard to see it was really difficult and its something i dont think ill ever understand or explain work for us he was an extra employee an extra security that we called when we needed people about him beyond our kind of core group of security is if you remember george just briefly chatting when we were am at night and he was hanging out at the office at the end of the night and he would always say hello to me and have a really big smile and remember his big smile and and he was very sweet he would calm economy fast lady and big pretty smile Minnesota State representative in a moment joined growing calls now to disband the Minneapolis Police force she argues that its beyond reform is backing calls from minneapolis politicians proposing that the Police Department is dissolved the citys now banned the use of chokehold point police new rules also require officers to report to intervene when they see the unauthorized use of force by colleagues america host rick sanchez next explains why the reforms might not be enough. In a case like this i dont want my Police Department to be privatized i dont like whats happening with the prisons since things have been privatized so i think its essential. To keep the police as a form of our government i also think its important for us to realize that Police Officers cant do everything ive been watching videos on you tube yesterday i saw where they called the cops because the guy was fouled during a basketball game there are videos of schools teachers they cant handle the student hes on route they call the police these are not Police Functions were over policing the solution is to look for ok lets lets start with the problem the problem is crime right we have too much crime in america we really dont the numbers are way down as a matter of fact so the numbers of crime away down but the number of hiring of Police Officers is way up ok so if we say we want to be able to attack whatever nefariousness in our society we want people to be better we want to create better citizens we want to create noncriminals you start at the beginning you dont start out on the back again but if you were to turn on c. N. N. Or of us embassy or fox news right now they would tie everything to the george floyd incident without looking outside of that the danger with that is that we will then think that oh they just passed a new policy that says youre no longer allowed to use that chokehold ok everything is solved no everything is not solved because the underlying problems are thats still an underlying problem and until we attack that root were essentially going to continue to have these situations. So to neighboring mexico where a policeman was settled fired by protest his own be aware but to show graphic video of the incident in which the offices approached from behind during efforts to contain an increasingly agitated and police crowd. Protests in mexicos 2nd largest city. Some demonstrators tried to break into the story Government Palace there one of the set cars alight right officers used buttons and tear gas to try to disperse the crowd centers on the death of a man in Police Custody the last month video of his Violent Arrest was spread widely online. We cannot. Know. There. Was detained by Mexican Police in early may he was arrested apparently allegedly for not wearing a mask in public the Authorities Say his arrest was done to his aggressive behavior the 30 year old later died because of a head injury the authorities have pledged a thorough investigation and 3 Police Officers have been arrested. This is coincided with solidarity rallies over the death of george floyd to what you say here is outside the u. S. Embassy in mexico city where protesters tried to damage the fortified fence some even climbing over. The morning here in moscow good morning. Making the headlines this weekend in just about 90 seconds time after the break with me. Join me every 1st day on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Again facebooks brought in a new label to some users pages to clearly highlight who it considers to be state controlled media including r. T. It plans to also ban them from buying ads in the u. S. Head of the forthcoming november president ial election but theres a bit of selective it seems as to who gets flagged up as a Senior Correspondent more guest he explains next a new day a new facebook scandal they start it isnt about them selling out their users or allowing opposition activists to be tracked to establishing another censorship well it kind of actually is the start its about facebook deciding for you who you should trust. Several months ago we announced our plans to label Media Outlets that are wholly or partially under the editorial control of the government and today were starting to apply labels to those state controlled Media Outlets were providing Greater Transparency into these publishers because they combined the influence of a Media Organization with the strategic backing of the state and we believe people should know if the news they read is coming from a publication that may be under the influence of the government so well skip over the irony here of someone who is under the influence of a government which is facebook which regularly censors what the Us Government tells it to censor telling everyone else that you shouldnt trust those who are under the influence of the government you following and facebook takes great pride in making sure that what you read is approved by censors in the u. S. Only 53 percent of Americans Trust the news sources that use so were making it easier to learn more about an article right in your Facebook News feed what it has done the start is remarkable even by its standards so they go to label any news media that they believe is funded or influenced by a state as state controlled media except theyre not their only labeling media that the u. S. Government doesnt like r. T. For example Chinese State media in what is mathematically highly improbable coincidence facebook and the u. S. Government seem to have identical least of media that they dont like or perhaps the more rational explanation is that facebook just got a call from washington telling them again what to do but how do you sit there and say that russian and Chinese Media should be labeled but then claim that voice of america is independent voice of america we are journalists and we believe that we promulgated american. Promulgating the basic things are important to america she just said they spread American Values in a way that benefits america to largely foreigners and in same sentence that they are independent yet voice of america doesnt get the label the b. B. C. Funded by taxpayers and the u. K. Government accused by saddam time and time again of being essentially a mouthpiece for the government doesnt get the label agis iraq run by katha which is essentially a family run dictatorship doesnt get the label saudi arabia its media dont get the label i think you know archies official statement sums it up facebook is doing as its told by its government but pretending otherwise a us company long and bad with the us establishment telling the entire rest of the world what it can and cannot say is the definition of technological dictatorship and censorship labeling for an editorial independent news outlets is anything but isnt top of fostering prejudice and xenophobia a prime example of the very fake news that facebook is supposedly trying to combat. So now than the head of artes website says hell appeal facebooks moviegoer says its blatant double standards. We absolutely do not believe it to be a legitimate decision. Of war because there are. So under the ground there anyone can be labeled anything and obviously we were in the crosshairs for a long time the double standards are going to receive evidence and were not just the opinion of cases such as the b. B. C. Were not even expecting things like voice of america which are directly from that by the u. S. Which have a state that Public Function as a diplomatic to what the u. S. The receiving anything like the same labeling so absolutely theyll be double standards which will be so lawful and so obvious that there will be no disguising as to what the purpose of this says which is to attack us were sort of considered guilty before we had a chance to prebuy wrote innocence that the timing is to do with the 2020 election coming up in november its even explicitly mentioned so the timing is obviously politicized and the whole process obviously but its because we can see pressure facebook. From its own lawmakers so this whole thing its just something which facebook has done to protect itself from further pressure from the u. S. Saving inside scared at sacrificing us well i can tell you weve been in touch with facebook for an explanation response if we do here but well let you know were going to say in small detail liska to an independent journalist for you on this show we talk to Jill Dougherty this Morning Money job this morning ok does seem the allegation is its a selective approach being taken by facebook some state funded media gets off the hook if you lie others are clamped down on is that a fair assumption of whats going on i think your reporter had it absolutely right you know here you left out the c. B. C. And the Australian Broadcasting corporation z d f. Radio free europe these are all state owned operations does that mean the state is controlling the editorial i could i could state right here clearly live on archie that the russian state has not approved what im about to say now you might if you dont like what i have to say maybe im not invited back but thats exactly what the b. B. C. Or c. N. N. Does absolutely ask ray mcgovern who you have on hes never invited back again because he doesnt say approve things so this is absolutely a double standard its totally political as your reporter pointed out facebook to i dont think facebook or twitter want to get involved in any of this they were reluctant to do so they were heavily pressured by congress to take measures like this because the congress cant directly do this because Government Congress is not allowed to censor the press thats the 1st amendment says the private companies can so thats why theyre getting them as proxies of the u. S. Government to do the censoring for them its extraordinary also you must also see that even though there is some u. S. State run media the private Corporate Media on their Foreign Policy and National Security reporting are virtually mouthpieces of the Intelligence Services they launder misinformation and this information from the Intelligence Services in the u. S. Which begins credibility if you read in the New York Times are not directly from the cia but they they have a state function as well even if their corporate wont so this is clearly an anti russian anti chinese and tiring thing as you report to point out what a coincidence that these happen to be the adversaries of the United States and the media does not have to follow what the u. S. Government says who there are below people would be surprised to hear this maybe not political people who say just general users of facebook to hear that it is this in your view a Political Tool and this is being pushed for washington by the way you and ray are always welcome all this trouble that we know you worry about. The pressures coming from washington is it. Yeah of course youve seen it out in the open there were televised hearings over the last couple of years where theyve dragged in the c. E. O. s of twitter and facebook suckered cetera and berated them that they had to do take these measures to stop what called russian interference we all know now if anybody is honest that that was completely debunked the entire russia get the including the hacking of the d. N. C. Now we have the head of the crowd strike saying that nothing was extracted so they push that narrative and theres a new election coming up this is clearly related to that as well they need to push the narrative that far and outside it just like there are outside agitators in these protests in the u. S. Right now theyre outside agitators influencing the policies they dont want to take responsibility for the mess theyve made of their own country the leaders of the any leader that says that they blames outsiders that the middle east dictator or u. S. Governor or president of the u. S. So in your view its not going too far to say the facebook is interfering in the freedom of the press in censoring it. Well they havent they havent shut down or this could be a move towards that eventually theyre not shutting down our t. V. But theyre not allowing r. T. And i guess maybe other Chinese Media from advertising but were up children now they havent totally sensitive but theyre putting a label on that telling the reader or the viewer you know be wary of this because you mentioned you mentioned smugglers ations that arent on the caution at the moment the soldiers here the voice of america theyre publicly state funded why are they getting off to what excuses facebook using you know how is it saying well you know what whats the whats the public excuse for this that actually the head of the name is nathan york like the head of facebooks Security Policy said that in countries where there is. You know our other Media Private media then those are the countries were going to go after because we have to stop the state media well i mean there is there is also private media in germany where theres e. D. F. And in france radio france internationale so the idea that they are only going to crack down on countries that are totally state owned media which is not true in russia anyway you have private newspapers there that are critical of the government so if they get this all over the place they dont know that talking about and theyre counting on an unsophisticated public to accept this job literally telegenic leave it there think youre in sydney have a good you say its afternoon we have a good afternoon rest the day weekend so i got you by by. Human Rights Campaign is turned out in the nigerian capital to protest Sexual Violence after a wave of high profile rape cases more than 200 marched around the Police Headquarters and calling for better protection for women campaigners say its difficult to secure a conviction for rape in nigeria and that the victims are often claimed theyve launched an Online Movement called we are tired of the hashtags trending on twitter locally and an online petitions got thousands of signatures on survive describes just how terrifying the risks are for Nigerian Women.
