International protesters in the new be formed autonomy in seattle are considering their next move having seize control of the area after it was abandoned by police present from those threatened to send in the army if the local authorities fail to resolve the matter. Were not going to let this happen and if we have to go in were going to go and to go there is you going to do it but to go to do it hes got Great National guard troops to iraq you can do it but one way or the other its going to get burned these people are not going to occupy a major portion of a great city our president wants to tell a story about domestic terrorists who have a radical agenda and are promoting a conspiracy and fitzs law and order initiatives its simply not true the threat to invade seattle to divide and incite violence in our city is not only unwelcome it would be illegal while the capitol hill autonomous zone was formed at the beginning of the week by black lives matter activists they barricaded themselves inside 6 blocks in the center of seattle and declared it a Police Free Zone activist to siri explains now what life is like inside the commie. I am down here in the capitol hill autonomous zone also known as chaz and the mood here is come a peaceful bit you can see it over here. Weve got people really get some food and over here we also have free pizza shrinks water all types of snacks weve got people handing out bags with masks and Hand Sanitizer literally everything you can think of and over here is the memorial that is set up to all of the people that weve lost or during the george lloyd rebellion as theyre calling it thats what the the wall says over there theres a good constant 24 hour vigil people can like candles and you know say their prayers see you know just just hang out this is the West Entrance to the capitol hill autonomous zone back there we have the the precinct which is where this is where most of the violence was inactive by the police for the last 2 nights the last week or so this is where most of the stuff happened and there are still 4 main barricade points and inside is the autonomous so people are anticipating on staying as long as possible there have been several tents that have already been set up people are preparing to stay overnight main goal i would say that i could say right now is that people are they calling for the defunding of police you know nationwide weve seen this minneapolis city council. Already you know completely just then vote to disband the Minneapolis Police were calling for the same thing here in seattle were calling for a complete defunding of the police a completely allocation and to black and Brown Community is where its needed the most and so that is definitely a goal of people. I would say the number one. Great now while black lives matter protests are continuing in other parts of the city too on friday thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets in the socalled silent protest the rally came on the same day a federal judge ordered police to temporarily stop using tear gas and pepper spray against the page face in seattle. Now her protest is still haunt going to another u. S. States with the heart of u. S. Commerce being no exception new york saw protesters come out peacefully to support the black lives Matter Movement the protests coincided with the womens empowerment march and ended with a joint platform crowds gathered in manhattan reportedly starting out from trump tower people were seen Holding Placards and chanting demands various demands and they included the funding the police and justice for george florida and a particular focus on the lives of black women aside from public support for black lives Matter Movement has the backing to of major u. S. Companies including Amazon Microsoft and also starbucks however it does seem at the moment that their actions arent speaking louder than their words taylor explains. 21st Century Companies live in fear of castle culture of old tweed too i misjudged can lead to a ha sentence in the court of Public Opinion so with black lies much of the protests sweeping the globe every business is clamoring to say they are part of the fight the problem is they forgot to do a background check on themselves just found out starbucks is catering to the comfort of their racist customers by asking their stuff not to wear anything in support of black clothes matter so i wont be visiting dan and theyll be telling everyone i know to boy called them as well that ought to be a tire was laid for a bus but it was too late because by then incensed activist had gotten a Pumpkin Spice latte fuel deep ties to the companys history and sure enough starbucks got schooled but its a low hypocrisy starbucks user scoffed at the 6 tracked by 18 year old slaves and what tamara canyon costa rica and panama. Remember when they wrote lets talk about racism on the cops remember when the close to half a day because 2 black men were arrested for being black at a starbucks as we always thought they were only about black lives matter when its convenient lucky for starbucks so its not taking all the heat as other companies also suffer from selective memory fashion powerhouses i see Christian Prada tweeted how how sickened and somehow did they work by inequality and how they were companies with ethics which could be seen as full suffered ties in given that if you google though you might stumble across words like child labor exploitation black face as the vogue obviously the most influential fashion magazine well now its promoting voices and brands in the black community which probably came as quite a surprise to the publication brazil director who recently celebrated her 50th birthday with problematic slave themed party the world of big tech is also massively promoting black lives matter not on 10000. 00 men will be welcomed by the movements santa and jeff bezos is publicly naming and shaming customers who send him mean emails because of the companys starts which would be a full proof plan to boost your popularity than to make another couple of 100000000. 00 if it wasnt for the fact that i was and makes a tidy sum from its dealings with the police it is opportunistic a furnace on to use this moment to make empty and hypocritical statements when it is similar tenuously building the backbone for Many Police Departments across the country the Company Proprietary policy center acknowledges that are clearly targeting and harming black and brown communities and into the mix there are only 8 percent of its managers in the us a black and youll see why slapping a barrel on your home page doesnt quite make the cops. As a black woman i feel like it is time to ports theres a help us troubles Everyone Wants to join in and profit from us and what microsoft has started posting messages from its like employees that if i dont runs out of material pretty quickly given the less than 5 percent of its entire what force its law so we get it look couple of pages here an emotional peak that burn through the social media stunt the pundits who laugh it up and the books balance but it looks like they went and posted another where on instagram they forgot to put a padlock on that was it bursting with skeletons. There in the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson has said it is shameful the statue of Winston Churchill has needed to be boarded up to protect it against activists. Youve got a situation in which the statue of Winston Churchill whos a National Hero has had to be boarded up for fear of violent attack and that to me is both absurd. And wrong you should not have a situation which people who are protesting or for one group one basis are violently attacking the police or public property the churchill stat she was encased in a protective box after protesters dogged he was a racist under his name last week churchill led the allies to victory in the 2nd world war but is now being accused of racism for some comments he once made londons mayor this week ordered a review of all monuments and street names that praised people who might be linked to slavery and racism the war on statues has sparked debate on whether there were at the races the past we asked people in the capital for their views. I guess people are here to defend certain statues and i support people defend it or you support people trying to take it down. You know so i try to look at things from both perspectives theres a lot of good too should be hard if people dont like to talk about the budget sharee. One of the issues is try to be changed i didnt realize he was racist i didnt realize a lot of things hed done i never learned that i certainly would learn it from the stuff he outside. Or. I would. Praise he does he learns a museum or in school which is actually still in School People should remember that it was a lot harder when. I dont think a lot of the statue should be taken down after gags or bold itself and body shots i think you should be thinking oh this isnt so good for all the people who are living in a world where they have to be the cd. Well over in the u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leading the fight against confederate statues on capitol hill shes even sent a letter to the joint committee on the library asking for them to be removed to meet the nationwide demonstrations against racism can you imagine Jefferson DavisAlexander Stephens treason it treason against united know and this judge i feel because theres states like him here a couple comments that do come amid the Current Campaign in the country to take down symbols of the confederacy in Norfolk Virginia a statue of a confederate soldier has been removed after standing in its place for more than 100. 00 gas however official stated the decision to take it down was made active safety concerns in portsmouth a man suffered serious injuries after being hit by a statue toppled by demonstrators in total 4 statues have been beheaded in the city we discuss the war on monuments with the host of r. T. Americas own contact show chris hedges. I think its important to remember what the historian carl becker wrote and that is that history is what the president chooses to remember about the past so Historical Monuments are an expression of power indication of who has power and thats the power to choose our history is remembered in public places. All of these confederate monuments the ones that you seen coming down mostly in the south of course. Were put up in the late 890 s. The early 20th century. To a centrally remind of black people during jim crow and the period of lynching. Of the power and celebration of White Supremacy and there was a very conscious effort to exclude figures. Not just in terms of black leadership or those such as not turner and others rose up to rebel against slavery but also white including generals who didnt. Support segregation White Supremacy but black rights movements have been famous across the u. S. Since the 1960 s. One of the most controversial black panthers started by monitoring cops and Challenging Police brutality we discussed the current rise of the black lives Matter Movement along with current civil rights in america with the renowned political activist and former black Panther Angela davis you can watch the interview in full on monday but has a taste of what was said. I think the world is able to see. This certain nation is far from hell c. O a Police Department so that was dramatic expression of Structural Racism the. Prisons are full of black people. Like to know. That. We have to have an abolitionist imagination if we want to go into a future for our city and i was standing nation and for the worlds. Meanwhile place in the us are becoming increasingly stigmatized amid the ongoing black lives matter protests a major in the Police Department has been criticised for arguing officers arent specifically targeting africanamericans and he says he has the figures to back up what hes saying he spoke with r. T. Neil harvey. You had those isolated incidents rifles and go and since that her and especially on body camera video theyre shown over and over again so i think the general public thinks thats happening in the states we make 350000000 contacts year and obviously the fast majority of those are not in the instance that occur we use force less than one percent of all arrestees but when that mistake happens you know were all healed thats going to role play into that i would encourage your audience you go to the Washington PostPolice Shooting database and they come pahl the state of source you can go back and look and since 2015 if you want to look talk simply about the unarmed individual shot by Law Enforcement if you break it down between africanamerican and white its 3 percent unarmed white shot unarmed and 2 percent of a normal unarmed black so theyre very even numbers and you know its race isnt a factor generally those numbers should be even theres a real fear here in the states to actually talk about that and what ive been trying to say is weve got to be able to weve got to be able to we can at least talk about those facts its really hard to move forward a problem solve a piece of power and use of Excessive Force by police in the us who goes right back to the Civil Rights Movement has been going on for a you know 50 is. Can you understand why there are coals even like a Public Movement to defund the police force do you think that that is the right direction to go in given that the problems have been around for so long isnt it time to try Something Different or is this the case of just making a bad situation worse if you if you start to defund thats a huge huge decision and youve got to really think about Law Enforcement in america is it well funded now i think were we have gone astray in america is Law Enforcements been tasked with doing things that we never had to do from the mentally ill that that system is broken so Law Enforcement final straw that we end up you know about city percent of the people unfortunately have shoot this countrys are are mentally ill and force an awful she doesnt always know that on a sunny and so i actually. Some programs. But to try to take some of that bargain away from Law Enforcement what you cant do is you cant take funny to watch source that and then asked lots more to do the same exact work just to be very. Still to come the 1300. 00 medics warn that thousands of protesters might be in danger of contracting. All because to guess is helping its transmission from person to person but have the details in a couple of. There was a period lets call it the uni polar you know period after the end of the cold war where the u. S. And nato countries and other people sort of wanted russia to become what they described as a normal country what they meant by normal was a country that was democratic by western standards that was capitalists that was a member of u. S. Led International Rules graced the water established by the u. S. I think a lot of people saw that as sort of permanent 2nd class status in the u. S. Led system and i think its pretty clear that russia in particular has been pushing back on that. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics or business im sure business ill see you there. Hello again there is concern that big gas could dramatically increase the spread of covert 19 among protesters the issues been highlighted in an open letter signed by almost 1300 u. S. Public health and medical professionals comes amid the nationwide protest against racism thats been raging for 2 and a half weeks opposing the use of tear gas smoke or other rasputin 3 irritants which could increase risk for covert 19 by making the response track to more sceptical to infection exacerbating existing inflammation and in juicing coughing well apart from Coronavirus Related Health concerns there are other issues too prolonged exposure for a large dose of it especially in a closed setting could lead to blindness it can also result in severe chemical burns to the throat in the lungs or risk failure which can be fatal however philadelphias Police Commissioner does still argue that riot control agents like gas remain the safest way to disperse angry crabs the deployment of tear gas was a means to safely diffuse a volatile and dangerous situation and restore order when it became increasingly clear that other measures were ineffective in accomplishing that necessary objective said the religious that lancastrian universe seen you carry mohammed minear does believe that concerns about the use of tear gas at this time are justified. Actually then we look on to the dispatcher track inspection they are very easy to be transmitted and one of the contributing factors for the call of augustines right and take the whole word on nice they didnt for 5 months as being a stress free treatment of transmission so anything that can expose the respiratory tract or create additional damage to the spirit of traction is something that would certainly help the vitus to any trade into the body otherwise we could probably protect it so be it for ready to construct a straight exacting section jennifer and i mix like all are certainly good to keeping the upper respiratory tract healthy is not very important and having to tear gas is certainly not a good choice in this Good Condition in particular so someone who is infected with a girl nobody has or has asked them all or other cuomo to be deities in terms of this pretty cracking sections or of their own community diseases if they were to be under the tear gas or similar kind of type or even that mean that even because the more and heart coughing can lead the fighters to trouble you any longer going to meet it is just that we dont really get jokes so this means the lightest transmission would be even more having to explore many people in the vicinity how it would be a little more exposed. Swedens Health Minister says that the country is taking precautions ahead of a potential 2nd life over the corona virus however there are still dying some concerns about how the 1st wife was handled it is true that the swedish rates of mortality are comparatively high on certain days or weeks however its also true that these kinds of comparisons tends to be a snapshot of the pandemic on a certain period of time with managed to flatten the curve the Health Care System has coped well as expected the motel that the rates decreasing slowly but steadily. Swathing took a much more relaxed approach compared to most other European Countries with no Strict Lockdown imposed but there have been increasing questions about its success with even the state of missing that there were too many fatalities the whole situation is sparked outrage opposition parties. The government and the Public Health authority have been given chance after chance to correct their mistakes despite this the delays and the handwringing remain the swedish government has deliberately allowed a large spread of the disease in difficult crisis we will always be leaderless as long as this government isnt power there have been obvious fundamental failures in swedens covered response we didnt get protective equipment to care homes in time although everyone knew that their residence where the most vulnerable got into a recent poll of the has been a significant drop 2 in support for the governments response to the virus it shows a fall of 18 percent since april cant edit off see fernand why newspaper and also a former member of the social Democrat Party is actually surprised though there hasnt been more criticism we have high mortality rates i mean. Of most countries. We are in a situation that other European Countries are denying us the right to go there or even our neighboring country wont allow us but they will allow the norwegians and the danes and i have understanding for that considering how this would government has handled this chronic crisis. But this is a fact and testing was never important in fact the government authority. That the government now sort of blames they said testing is unnecessary so just these 2 things prove more lows that the governments actions in this crisis has been wrong. And its pretty obvious for the opposition parties to use that against the government because they have failed in in most ways so not only do they see that the politicians but the people of sweden see its also its quite unbelievable. The social democrats and authority hasnt gotten more critique than it has. The International Criminal court has slammed washington for sanctioning the organization saying the court is effectively the last hope for the victims of atrocities an attack on the i. C. C. Represents an attack against the interests of victims of atrocity crimes for many of whom the court represents the last hope for justice to a probe into u. S. War crimes in afghanistan he also gave a speech almost entirely dedicated to the greatness and exceptionalism of the United States as the story donald trump has announced that sanctions are being imposed on the International Criminal court its being alleged that the institution violates the sovereignty of the United States dropping most races taking the following actions. 1st were authorizing the imposition of economic sanctions against i. C. C. Officials directly engaged in i. C. C. Efforts to investigate u. S. Personnel or allied personnel against that allied states consent and against others who Material Support such officials activities instead of having the International CriminalCourt Monitor human rights around the world it seems that the United States government will take on this task all for its own mike pompei o the u. S. Secretary of state recently came out with a report describing religious freedom around the world and he touted the United States as the ideal in the speech mike pompei oh trotted out the old image of an exceptional United States that stands above all others when it comes to liberty and freedom our nation is so special its the greatest nation in the history of civilization especially the challenges like the ones that we are confronting here in the United States today will be managed and on the will be a political process this thing gauged of the be wide open debate and are our Core Principles the the fact that we respect every human being because they are made in the image of god will be reflected in the way that the United States response to these challenges according to mike palm peo american discourse is free and open its only an other countries apparently that mass protests are taking place. 5 o 5. Catley its only in other countries that peaceful protests are dispersed with tear gas and dissidents are arrested and held without charges only in foreign lands theres the political elite ignore the needs of the people and plow ahead building a police state no not in america only 60 years ago congress was overwhelming would probe Police MilitarizationNancy Pelosi Elliott angle and of the 350. 00 lawmakers of both parties joined together to vote against represent isnt. Since amendment to end transfers of military equipment to mobile police in 2014 and of course america always respects the rights of journalists and freedom of the press we have received numerous reports of journalists attacked harassed him arrested and detained in the course of their work over the protests in the United States against systemic racism and Police Brutality only in other lands do allies watch in horror at the mishandling of protests we all watch in horror d and consternation whats going on in the United States only in foreign lands we see citizens begging the United Nations to speak up for their rights the undersigned family members of victims of Police Killings and Civil Society organizations from around the world call on Member States of the Un Human Rights Council to urgently convene a special session on the situation of human rights in the United States in order to respond to the unfolding grave human rights crisis borne out of the repression of nationwide protests you see the United States is exceptional its got a perfect record it does not need an International Criminal court and its got solid ground to stand on and criticize other countries yeah well these days even many staunch u. S. Allies might strongly disagree with that up and r. T. New york and that is when you drop for this hour back with more for you there in about 30 minutes.
