T. Americas correspondent in washingtons watching across it all. I can see how behind we. Had gathered in Freedom Plaza all the celebrating watching her walk down on situation avenue and saying about how crowded it behind that in front of the capitol. This is not the only place where this is all happening you also have. Markets like past. History getting rallies in front of the capitol or putting tolling gathering the only black letter law that the right to the white house while the annual holiday has long been celebrated by black americans as a symbol of their long awaited emancipation a slew of racially charged killings how do they. Say i. Am today. Including the one of george floyd and the protests that followed has sparked a renewed interest in the day more than a dozen rallies taking place in new york city alone following the more than 3 weeks of racial inequality and Police Brutality protests across the state history professor joins us from his believes that the legacy of slavery still needs big discussion and reevaluation the United States does not come to terms. With the history of slavery what was it and how did. Contribute to the emergence of the nation but also to the emergence of capitalism slavery is and Economic System was an Economic System that was hugely responsible for the mass distribution around the world of rights to pack oh sugar and other cash crops and up on that institution emerges the institution of the system of capitalism and so the United States hasnt really discussed this i dont happen to discuss this and it but. Havent come to terms with this and engage in some kind of truth and reconciliation process our students and young people certainly are not going to be educated about it. Meantime donald trump his 1st rally since the start of the pandemic to avoid a clash with juneteenth its no set to take place later this saturday in oklahoma the big concern those holding a big public gathering in the hardest hit country over the infections still rising in that state but from staying defiant all that said citing double standards given the weeks of antiracism protest is caleb maupin. 2nd wave of headlines code 19 is once again back in the us media spotlight a big trump rally is set to take place on saturday in tulsa oklahoma that the worst possible Public Health threat is an indoor mass gathering in the time of a pandemic rally time the worst thing you could do in the middle of this pandemic trump is pretending the coronavirus has disappeared showing up to his is precious rallies like it say i mean theyre not they might get sick and die with trumps Approval Ratings slipping trump is looking to reenergize his supporters with one of these epic rallies but seems to also reenergized his critics donald trump has been accused of recklessness and in danger in his supporters trouble already has a good name if it turns into an outdoor festival hes going to call it a coven chela Campaign Says that Hand Sanitizer and face masks will be offered to all attendees though not necessarily required then theyre not going to wear them just like trump doesnt wear them which puts trump in danger to there been plenty of rallies and protests going on across the country these days a massive crowd and i mean massive tens of thousands of Protesters Thousands and thousands up to 200000 id have you know hold you know a lot of i love hearing a moment of perspective and love the wonderful reminder that we are all in this together what more 1200 Health Care Professionals and Community Stakeholders actually signed a letter supporting these demonstrations saying that racism is a National Health issue we do not condemn demonstrations as a risky for kovi 1900 missions with the poor of them as vital to the national Public Health protests against racism and Election Campaign rallies are certainly not morally equivalent however the virus really cant tell the difference donald trump is calling out what he sees as an obvious double stand. The far left figures media which had no coded problem with the rioters and looters destroying democrat ground cities is trying to cool the cima so in our big rallies despite Public Health concerns americas deepening political crisis and growing divisions are not ready for a lock down and certainly not ready to take a break ok look martin artsy new york well next new in theres been a surge of new coronavirus cases in the United States where theres now a total of more than 2000000. 00 are to americas john heard the next reporting from florida which is that logged a record daily rise to see how many people are still complying with the safety rules there. This is downtown brickell and its a very busy part of miami and theres a lot of bars as are a lot of restaurants theres a big mall here and what were noticing as we walk around is that theres really more people who arent wearing a mask then there are at this point. There are plenty of reminders about social distancing and mask rules for businesses but that doesnt mean everyone is following the rules well most people at this mall were Wearing Masks as required at a nearby coffee shop not one customer inside was wearing one i havent found this discarded mask on my way to work well were not trying to be the coded 1000 mask police i point all this out because thats florida continues to see a surge in new covert 1000 cases with miami consistently posting the highest numbers in the state the seemingly lax attitude among some is raising concerns about who are becoming the next epicenter for the virus people getting what you can for. Stores and restaurants also not following social justice. Even when theyre earlier this week some theme parks movie theaters and even strip clubs are allowed to reopen theyre all part of the latest phase allowing entertained venues to restrict their businesses on thursday june 18th the state of florida reported 3300 new cases setting a single day record since the pandemic began here in florida that is until today friday june 19th when the state of florida is reporting 3800 new coven 1000 cases setting a new record local and state Officials Say more aggressive testing of more people is one reason for the higher numbers expected anyway once the states started reopening Florida GovernorRhonda Santas also recently blame seasonal migrant farm workers for a surge in new cases there have also been new clusters of cases at Nursing Homes and state prisons in florida but the Florida Department of agriculture is pushing back against governor to santas his assertions saying farm workers left the state several weeks ago after the season ended and theres been some contention about whether or not testing is really the main reason for the surge in cases what a. For the reason as of now there are no plans to shut the state down once again despite the upward trend. Because john how do you know on the way the big social networks say theyve not noticed any suspicious activity on their platforms during the black lives matter campaigning despite u. S. Politicians claiming foreign actors again have been inflaming the countrys turmoil weve got a report on that coming up. This next though a weekly magazine on sale in the Czech Republic has caused why defense by putting an image of a black out of hitler on its front page with the headline black lives matter there was an incendiary subway line under its a shall we kneel before all criminals who claim they want to improve society what the human rights activists hit out and facebook has now slapped a temporary ban on the magazines editor in chief. Then anger north of amsterdam to report at a rally to remove the statue of the 15th century colonialist demonstrators were pushed back by police as they approached said monument some then threw stones at the officers and a Smaller Group also gathered waving dutch flags in front of the statute to pietersen cohen who long been considered a National Hero but whose reputation has since been questioned. In berlin hundreds of trucks and tractors were used in a protest at the Brandenburg Gate drivers are angry about freight prices being undercut as well as low wages and poor working conditions they want politicians to step in to repair the damage caused to Small Businesses by the covert pandemic. Theres more covert news brazils the tragic position becoming the 2nd the country to register more than 1000000 corona virus infections the Health Ministry confirming the grim statistic with the Record Number of new cases on friday of more than 54000 and the total number of deaths is nearly 49000 this widespread public anger to president balsa narrow and his government over the handling of the outbreak there. How is it brazilian i feel bad that we should not have reached such a number if the politicians want it they could have avoided it but nobody cared its your political will the president shows a lack of commitment to combat it he was going out without a mask greeting people meeting crowds i think he is the main person responsible for this situation or president has been heavily criticized for months so version sponsor of the crisis he initially described the disease you may remember as a little flu and that no national law was needed both scenarios clashed with state governors and mayors who tried to bring in districts and shut down major cities the governments approach has also led to the resignation of 2 Health Ministers along the way. One high profile victim has died from corona virus one of brazils best known indigenous defenders of the amazon rain forest as passed away police can was the chief of brazils Indigenous People he came to fame back in the 1980 s. For fighting against the construction of one of the Worlds Largest dams then he helped lead a campaign for the creation of large reserves in the amazon for indigenous populations and to expel illegal mining and logging from those areas which is a huge problem but in 1902 there was a twist he was convicted of the rape of a white student and sentenced to 6 years in prison he strongly denied that allegation and insists along with his allies that the claim was fabricated to undermine his growing political influence then. Brazils amazon regions been hit really hard by the pandemic with underfunded hospitals and access difficult in remote areas more than 280 Indigenous People have died from coronavirus weve been hearing about the specific problems indigenous communities face. Well why is not the impulse we do not have high quality an adequate assistance that takes into account the cultural and geographical features of our communities there are Health Authorities to which all structures are subordinates but they do not have the conditions to get access to communities and they cannot meet existing needs unfortunately the teams of doctors who came from the city brought this virus with them to our community and as of now our 64 residents have been infected its necessary to carry out preventative work and for this we need equipment and materials for example we need handjob disinfectant soap and masks since the beginning of the president ial term of joy in our o. He has always tried to infringe on the rights of the indigenous population he wanted to push the countrys elise to seize territories inhabited by Indigenous Peoples develop mining in Oil Industries in our small villages and build electric downs during the pandemic he used a number of opportunities to conduct this grab and see its believed that the amazon is the lungs of the planet if the amazon disappears we will also disappear humanity will disappear on. So bad news from there but better news slowly from britain we can report where medical she is revising lowering the countrys coronavirus alert level now from 4 to 3 in practice that means there could be a further gradual relaxation of restrictions as transmission of the virus is no longer thought to be high or rising exponentially as it was a survey alongside that those suggest doctors confidence in the governments handling of the break is still slipping in april 35 percent of g ps in england thought negatively of the governments response but this month that number surged to 60 percent g. P. Shish inside gave us his view. Overall my feeling is that the responses theres not its been very good at all and theres been very little interest in the welfare frontline clinicians its my feeling that there was a manipulation of the various guidelines so that its we stand for example and i was very disappointed about how the government simply its a sense brianna made me risk. Occasion Minority Ethnic Group the. Its also clear that its hancocks comments about watching the tone of language to a clinician challenging him in parliament summarizes in my view what the government wants which is essentially a kind of blind obedience which can effectively cost you your life. Im not alone in having lost to a great deal of faith and im 16 passed over morning here in moscow hi there ahead on this channel and to beijing protests in india are on the right after a deadly skirmish ignited decades of severing tension over a disputed border just one of the stories coming up after this break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on spearing Dramatic Development only closely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. This is how its international mourning this growing resentment in India Following a deadly skirmish between indian and chinese soldiers over a contested himalayan border region 20 hindu soldiers died and see china protests are springing up in several areas over it. Well on friday demonstrators in the Kashmir Valley burned effigies of the chinese president they also called for a boycott of chinese goods to try and wound the chinese economy the 2 countries have also started to flex their military muscles just of the border clashes report starting to emerge than of Chinese Military drills in east into bed around 7000 soldiers simulated the removal of supposed and then we fortified positions and india has been beefing up its military presence in the area to where mondays deadly encounter took place but deploying fighter jets in the punch attack helicopters the border dispute is a decades old fall in the side of the 2 countries relations assess cattail explains next this morning. Judgment day across the Great Britain monuments 20 pies most faithful servants are being torn down while the rule of brittania is still being felt on the other side of the globe more than a century or 2 Nuclear Powers pushed to the brink battling it out with that bad hands india wants peace but when provoked it is capable of giving a fitting reply in the kind of situation the indian side would best not make an incorrect judgment of the situation would best not underestimate chinas strong determination to keep safe its sovereign Territory High up in the remote areas 2 of the most populous countries in the world are once again battle over 2100 mile long border but monday marks the 1st deadly clash in decades india lost 20 soldiers while chinas losses remain unclear so how did it come to this well in 1914 with india still under british rule chief negotiator said remarked mon to alight on a map and named it off to himself endure except it. Didnt those who indiscriminately took to him up with a ruler never gave it a 2nd thought leaving these 2 countries to grapple with a conflict that continues to this day mondays events will undoubtedly be with interest by the pool which is also looking to write a historical wrong at the hands of the brits just days ago and fight it up to its mob laying claim to 3 new previously indian territories a retorting which surprisingly hasnt gone down well in new delhi. This artificial enlargement of claims is not based on historical facts or evidence and is not tenable it is also violative of our current understanding to hold talks on outstanding boundary issues in 816 the pools signed a humiliating treaty with the British East India Company and handed over lands which were that inherited by india off to the brits left and now over 200 years later it wants them back. If india regards an apology a Good Neighbor it should return darjeeling in the east and can god in the west which were confiscated by the British Government which was then ruling india the British Government had seized 1800 square kilometers of nepali territory through that unfair treaty. Territorial dispute sorry recurring theme and form up british colonies take kashmir by return that indian pakistani relations crashed to new lows over last year when new tensions caused india to revoke kashmir special status telling off the phones cut the internet and send in thousands of troops. d while when the brits finally whats true and 947. 00 British India became 2 nations india and pakistan and it was decided that cash make a pick for itself whether it wants to be a part of the forum up with the latter a decision made by people who had even set foot i was not even aware of kashmir i heard about it long after i returned to london the radcliffe line was only revealed to the people the day before independence and scenes of celebration were replaced with fear and confusion as millions woke up on the wrong side of the border the partition and the radcliffe line led to unprecedented violence resulting in up to a 1000000 deaths so how did it all go wrong many areas had equal numbers of muslims and hindus radcliffe also didnt take the sikhs into account and he never even heard of kashmir the list goes on the infamous scramble for africa the disputed line separating afghan start of pakistan. On causing up the middle east the israel palestine conflict they used to say that the sun never sat on the British Empire well it turns out that while its sunset has well and truly come unfortunately its legacy of conflict and violence continues to rise each and every day. Or so this morning facebook and twitter have told us lawmakers that theyve not seen any evidence of suspicious activities on their platforms in relation to George Floyd Protests it came up to tell us how security here in thursday where Democrat Members accuse the social media giants of doing too little to find this information. Are you saying yet efforts by foreign powers to exploit divisions as they did 2016 around black lives matter. Conservatives manipulation by foreigner we have not seen foreign actors engage in coordinated inauthentic behavior around the protests yet and we have teams that are proactively hunting for that. The protests following the death of george floyd ended up as world wide unrest against Police Brutality and Racial Injustice the allegations of using social media by foreign actors in order to inflame further turmoil in the u. S. Have been circulating for quite some time with russia and china often being called the main suspects there. Based on my experience this is right out of the russian playbook as well that our foreign adversaries are going to take advantage of this crisis to to sow discord and to try and damage our democracy were not to let that happen we have evidence that some of the foreign hackers and groups that are associated with foreign governments are focusing in on this particular situation we have here and trying to exacerbate it in every way they can. We talk to president ial hopeful Libertarian Party vice chairman alvin volar and he suspects the real public manipulates those much closer. Its always easier to find a scapegoat no matter how insane it sounds rather than face the actual problem that home is not russians or chinese or anybody else thats eating minorities it is marriage thats not highly advanced or an intelligence doing something that isnt a problem of government abuse to words civilians today you still have some people that believe that what the cops did with the police when they killed an unarmed immobilized civilian is totally right now in order to manipulate that small group of people theyre going to point to just about the dumbest thing they can fight a foreign governments for and you know foreign agents doing this sharing this information is going to be essential for the news media to do but its also going to allow various people people in politically entrenched roles to point fingers and say yeah its their fault they are somehow doing this not recognizing the problems are and then to them. Well i hope you are enjoying your funny informative of bulletins and programs thats the way things are looking from us internationals newsroom so far this weekend reporting from moscow im kevin now and thanks for watching again and have a super day.
