Thanks for joining us here for the weekly. Another black man has died at the hands of police sparking violent unrest in the u. S. City of atlanta the citys police chief resigned after an officer fatally shot the africanamerican while he was being arrested on saturday night coming up camera footage of the incident must warn you you may find these images disturbing. It was. Late on friday Police Received a call that a black man was sleeping in his car while waiting in the queue at the burger drive through rashad brooks was breath tested and failed but then resisted arrest during the struggle that ensued he appears to grab an officers taser and later points it while fleeing this moment that he was shot and died later in hospital a lawyer for the Family Claims Police acted atrociously. He lays there dying. The answer stand around one kid something flips them over in the witnesses tell us that which we cant see on camera but they filmed it they went to the still face. I wonder why so there all of you cant know how far away was when they start but they appear to be caring more about covering their tracks then providing. That couldve saved his life actually they say we want justice but i dont i dont care why do you know what that is and ive been doing this 15 years out of the exists as a more. Potent as later set on fire the restaurant where the killing occurs pulling the incident at londons mayor said that the officer who pulled the trigger had been sacked but the other one involved was suspended while the citys police chief had quit. New protests have erupted in another part of america hundreds of demonstrators have come to the streets of portland to protest against racism and Police Brutality activists from the b. L. M. Movement which chased by the police who deployed to gas in the last 3 weeks since george floyd was killed at the hands of Law Enforcement in minneapolis tuesday a man whose deaths nationwide riots was buried in a small private funeral in his hometown of Houston Texas earlier that day thousands spent. On tuesday around 6000. 00 mourners fall past his coffin in houston the final stop in a series of memorials held in his honor around 30000. 00 was spent on his gold casket with the money taken from a record breaking Fundraising Campaign that amassed nearly 13000000. 00 the fallout from floyds death provoked claims politicians are trying to use it to score political points democrats were criticized by some for nailing for an 8 minute silence in congress a length of time prosecutors say that floyd was pinned under a White Police Officers need before he died. Every american should try to stand in silence for 8 minutes and 40. 6 seconds to acknowledge the pain of george floyd in the pain of racism its hard enough to grieve but its much harder to do it in public its much harder with the whole world watching your incredible family his little daughter was there i want to say dad hes going to change the world and i think her daddys going to change the world hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing thats happening for a country this is a great great day in terms of equality i just want to finish by saying to save the economy we passed several pieces of critical legislation. For the. Way that. The proposed a justice in policing act which would make it easier to prosecute misconduct and to require local police to report data on the use of force officers would also be obliged to undergo biased training and chokeholds another dangerous practice would be prohibited offices would also have to wear body cameras to school commentator jeff chiles believes that there is a clear political motivation behind the moves. You know what they say right i mean never let a good crisis go to waste there or definitely be people from both sides who are going to capitalize on what happened in georgia. To bolster their political careers it is an Election Year so its hard to tell whether or not the people really pushing for this are really wanting to affect change or if theyre posturing for november the true test of whether people really want to affect change will will occur after the election is over if this is still going to be an issue that were going to be pushing in our in our media and also at our in at a political level as well then it is possible for d or positive change to come. And i can speak live now to activists if alarm me who was at that protest at the scene of the incident 1st if a how did you 1st find out about this incident what happened to. Him what was your reaction when you did find out. I found out about the shooting up or shut. From the capital of you community so. Someone posted it that there was a shooting and a black man had been shot. And they were asking or support our people to come out there. And that was probably about 15 minutes after the shooting like people were already there so i showed up as one of those. What we had the only point to how were the emotions was there a sense of rage or injustice or confusion or of course probably very difficult to establish the facts of that early point. Well of course there was a fusion there but there was a more i would even call it rage people were angry they were upset and they were. They wanted answers really i think. Came from the lack of response from the police maybe. Their positioning like how just even body language like how they were going about. The situation after the shooting. I think there could have been opportunities to diffuse what happened but i dont think they necessarily took advantage of us its been pointed out theres a saw in some of the video footage it appears that rashad resisted arrest and took a taser off one of the officers have you heard any expressions of sympathy for the officers or perhaps expressions that this is a complicated situation so yes. Now i have heard people. That actually didnt expect i heard people Say Something maybe along the lines that he brought a lot upon himself. But thats really something that i cant access because i know the area and i know it all and i know that the situation is not new were all just now be paying attention to it but i know that people are scared of the only. I you know i cant really speak for how someone may feel. Coming out of their sleep opening their eyes and being in their Worst Nightmare i know that man i dont have to know him to. Fear for his life if. Elise and unfortunately that is what happened is fears our family. If we turn on our t. V. s now anywhere in the world look on the internet the sense the mood that were getting coming out of america is a strong one of fear of anger is that an accurate reflection do you think coming from the black community in america is it is intense as it seems the feelings here are extremely intense people have been here and with the public chaos and everything thats going on and i know that people are scared anger yes but i will anger or i wouldnt say that everyone is feeling anger or. Theres definitely anger and theres definitely a strain shin. And changes taking too long to come. Its been a pleasure to speak to thanks so much for coming on activity for long either. At the beginning of the week black lives matter protesters seized control and barricaded themselves into 6 blocks of central seattle theyre calling the area the capitol hill autonomous the move came after police had retreated from the neighborhood hundreds of demonstrators led by the local council also occupied city hall. Protests inside called for the city mayor to quit thank yous jenny durkan of not being strict enough in implementing reforms those who claim the community not politicians should control Decision Making want to be seen as a reader loach told us that the key demand of all demonstrators is for the police to be defunded. I mean gore i would say that i could see right now is that people are calling for the defunding of police you know nationwide if you were to take that funding from the police and put it into communities that really need it. From medical Services Hospitals education and you know the list goes on and there really is no need for a police. Officer is a community no police cars were allowed into the area report suggests that some inside are armed the citys mayor later defended the protesters saying that just patriots as an interim demanded law and order in seattle he also called on those he felt responsible saying that all this happened in a radical left democrat state like to try to send in the army if local authorities dont deal with the situation the issue of law and order is nothing new found has been on the lips of both republican and democrat president s more than 5 decades. Law and order perhaps more familiar as the popular t. V. Show you running for 3 decades already law and order. But also exactly whats triggered nationwide protests across the United States. Thats the. Law and order is the 1st responsibility of government dont send people up there that come home and talk tough on law and order and crime and then go back and vote some other way on the ground it was really a symbol of law and order a policeman on the campus and that was the moment when the ringleaders should have been taken by the scruff of the neck intro and out of the university one. By law and order i mean one order for everybody weve got to reestablish a respect for law respect for law and order a concept thats existed since the Founding Fathers the catchphrase that helped take Richard Nixon to the white house during mass civil unrest and race riots. Around 200 people died back then in clashes Martin Luther king was assassinated so waving in a new era for society nixon proposed an agenda in which Police Powers were a bouncer increase in 1968 the green light was given for the use of stop and search and powers have expanded since in new york it became infamous stops dramatically increasing under mayor Michael Bloomberg in the 2 thousands but it raised a key issue racial prejudice during the peak of the program more than half of the people stopped to a black but the black community made up just over one quarter of new yorks population and 1st started at new york philadelphia this lovely california this serving its 1st stop its a day at least. As new ways to keep order away. Entergy just laws became tougher since 1928 states have adopted some form of whats known as the 3 strike practice it meant lengthy sentences for repeat offenders even life behind bars the policy came in as the war on drugs peaked which raised further questions of racial targeting at the turn of the century more than half of all inmates serving time for drug offenses in state prisons were black 3 years ago it was still around 30 percent despite only being 13 percent of the population as a whole with both Police Powers and sentencing increased prison numbers skyrocketed there are more black people than any other racial Group Behind Bars in america something that has not changed under bill Clinton George bush or barack obama for every 100000 people in the u. S. Sentences for black people a 5 times higher than whites. So law and order it was a response to rioting like the unrest ravaging the United States from coast to coast in 2020 provoked by Police Actions that happened in los angeles in 92. 00 after the beating of rodney king by the authorities it happened after the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in ferguson a year later in baltimore with the death of freddie gray. In the last 5 years on record the number of those fatally shot by the police per 1000000 people is higher among blacks than any other ethnicity and now history is repeating itself yet another Police Related death has provoked unrest and again triggered discussion on black rights so as we look back on whats unfolded since nixon and his slogan in the sixtys donald trump has reassured the nation now saying. I am president of law and order. To tens of thousands of coronavirus deaths in the public anger towards leadership over the crisis the blog has now accused russia and china of waging this information war during the pandemic the story after the break. 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 now was a member of u. S. Led International Rules based order established by the u. S. I think a lot of people saw that as sort of permanent 2nd class status in the u. S. System and i think its pretty clear that russia in particular has been pushing back on that. Welcome back after being a coronavirus hotspot the European Union is emerging from the Global Crisis and is starting to point the finger of blame blocs accusing russia and china of orchestrating a mass this Information Campaign during the pandemic commissions also calling on social networks not only to delete everything they think is fake but also to produce reports on the work theyve done with details. Often times you hear what europeans see big headlines about disinformation and trolls and you just wonder that the russians or the chinese really have Nothing Better to do but then you read the headline again disinformation waves have hit europe during the current virus pandemic there originating from within as well as outside their opinion this information in terms of the corona virus can kill we have a duty to protect our citizens by making them aware of false information and expose the ex is responsible for a gaijin in such practices some years ago europe took action it created east strata com task force which runs a website e. U. The disinfo to identify and to track this information and think news every year they get millions of euros and the blessings of top europe crowds to do their thing leading elites in europe. Were. Very much on the level of. And so will of course its. One goal of those 2 green for worked all night years who want to bring forward a society or bring forward 5000000000 euro for Something Like finding freight news in 2018 e. V. Disinfo targeted dutch Media Outlets largely europe skeptic outlets surprisingly enough labeling their stories fake news but which they were soon forced to correct themselves because they lied and of course a lot of them bassman for the e. U. Our analysis demonstrates that e. U. Vs does influence headlines and summaries border on dissent from asian according to the east rat coms own definition of the term so they visit r. T. For example and rip a sentence entirely out of context such as this bill gates is working on deep population policies and plans for dictatorial control of World Politics thats insane you might say how could our teach say such a thing well we didnt heres the full extract and italian legislator has succeeded in taking the absolute theories of the koran epidemic to new heights by using her platform in parliament to denounce bill gates as a backs in the to and alleged globalist to so odd like many european and italian outlets route a story about and i quote absurd theories were used by the taliban m p e u v disinfo cut out the part where an italian m. P. Said it and ignored the part where a plethora of other Media Outlets reported it and tried to frame it as if odd she said it like there was no m. P. And nazi was publishing ludicrous conspiracy theories and youd never know unless you went to check the Fact Checkers though its a stretch to call them that the creative artist came from a laboratory a recurring Conspiracy Theory that acars pro. Crimmin dissin from asian about the artificial creation of 19 a recurring program in decent a mation Conspiracy Theory naturally think ripped it out of context in that segment artie was discussing how the media itself gives crazy conspiracy theories credits by paying attention to them but really really the unsubstantiated claims of who had nineteens lab origins up russian this information have you seen anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence that the would Hand Institute or parole gene was the origin of this virus. Yes they have we dont have certainty and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory the statements can both be true ive made them both Administration Officials have made them theyre all true why isnt my pump a secretary of state on that lease or donald trump president of the United States y r t which never even made the claim because that isnt what strata com east is paid to do if they cant find anything to report about big bad russia well people above will ask questions and cut Funding European Commission didnt find the governments work as well they didnt kind of consistent ready to end a co to clamp of the color crisis i think its a very dangerous way in the moment the rupee in commission tries to district. The attention away from their own crisis and bring forward an enemy in which that is not a good idea i cant speak for other publications that wound up on their website but every entry for oddities either a made up allegation or a sentence completely pulled out of context and for this east strata com gets about 5000000 euros a year to find russian this information. Or make it up that is when they are busy targeting euro skeptics at home how many mosques or ventilators could you buy for that those medical supplies that were soon badly needed when the pandemic hit when tens of thousands of europeans died because of shortages when europe kratz had to have a big forgiveness were not there on time when italy needed a helping hand at the very beginning. And yes for that it is right that europe as a whole offers a heartfelt apology and thats why theyre so desperate to make up any way to blame russia or china or anything to avoid apologizing they get but hats off to Stratford East you ask any season more cartel banka laundering a 100000 euros a week isnt easy as an idea proposed a magical European Agency to root out and banish malign spirits because even if google still digs this strasse called least notice how the college of them up.

Call and welcome to world the party were just people in a regime change while not of all countries have been joking that Color Revolution is impossible in the United States because you would need an American Embassy for that well apparently they were wrong quick troublous riots and even the seizure of government buildings containing our americas foes taking being democratic uprising in the worlds most celebrated democracy in disguise and im now joined by David Kilcullen perhaps our own international and Political Studies at the university of New South Wales and the author of the dry runs or be snakes how the rats learned to you by it was called and great to talk to you congratulations on your latest book and you for having me its great to be here now i know that its not your original idea to refer you adversaries as rap tiles and i am. Wrong. Bill clintons 1st cia director but since you build a narrative around it i assume you find it snooty what are you still whining about it for you. I think so just to say this book is a book about military adaptation and its about how different players adapted by the time and i begin the book at the end of the cold war and as i was casting around for a way to frame whats happened since then i found jim moses comments in his confirmation hearing extraordinarily apt its a rather prescient deer of the International Security environment of the ninetys but it really comes down to that one phrase where he says we slain a large dragon talking about this so he but now we find ourselves in a jungle still with a broader and broader for the snakes and in many ways the dragon was easier to keep track of and i think what hes trying to say here is that weak states failing states and nonstate actors are the principal threat of the 99 is a. Minute or until it is the total call and. Its also way of categorising and its essentially putting legitimate state actors like russia or china into the same group as nonstate actors like isis and aba terror groups isnt just out just a little bit to give this a poke contrary if you are not with asio against that. So actually i think hes making the opposite point what hes saying is there are 2 different characters that are very different from each other there are or in your state adversaries russia and china perhaps and then there are a completely different category which is the nonstate actors what he calls the snakes and my argument in the book is that weve spent basically 20 years of dissing on snakes on only particularly one snake International Islamic extremism and the related terrorism and i think that the world that rules he describes in 993 was an accurate description for maybe 10 years but it is out of date now and we now harness if you like mal adapted to the modern environment its interesting in the sale because i had a chance to interview mr holmes a few years back that on the u. S. Russia relations about he struck me as somebody that very. Well here and. He was speaking about russia as at a School Principal to talk about hes behaving student and i thinking even knew their world as a dram that the United States that its the time has long gone dont you think that batman of war no longer thinks the world at me all the time its so i actually talk about this quite a lot in the book and i talk about how there was a period where the call of the uni polar you know period after the. End of the cold war when the u. S. And nato countries and other people sort of wanted russia to become what they described as a normal country right what they meant by normal was a country that was democratic by western standards that was capitalist that was a member of the u. S. Led into
