Hello there welcome you watching r. T. International worst day here in moscow the u. S. Secretary of states accuse the u. N. Human Rights Council of hypocrisy after it released a resolution drawn up in the wake of killing of the killing of george floyd almost a month ago i pompei also pointed his finger there cuba china and iran where he thinks Racial Disparities are truly systemic however the u. N. Document itself has also been criticized by activist groups who believe it is too soft its more ghastly if reports. When the entire world gets these agri this few areas something must be done Rights Groups and Civil Society have moved to armies of activists and lawyers to make sure that it does its now or never he is that chance to get rid of xenophobia and make this world a better place. The undersigned family members of victims of Police Killings and Civil Society organizations from around the world call in 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 growth human rights crisis born out of the repression of nationwide protests the a. C. L. U. When 600. 00 organizations have written to the un human Rights Council to take action to do something new to the United States gets mentioned specifically for obvious reasons you watch my brother down or there could have been me i hear. You i met your man in a sense are your brother the 1st keep on air america and you have the power to help work get those from. The un human Rights Council hears that it gets to work and draft statements it says what the people wanted to say strongly condemns racism against africanamericans and the Structural Racism built into the American Government it says it will investigate abuses against africanamericans in the United States this is fiery stuff powerful and writes us we believe the situation in the United States warrants country specific intervention and then a thematic global investigation is also an what happened was a too harsh maybe an unacceptably strong stance against racism they call racism bad names because those righteous words didnt make it into the final report they were moved here is the watered down blub blub version that they agreed on the draft resolution now before the Council Requests the high commissioner for human rights with the assistance of resident relevant special minded holders to prepare a report on systematic racism violations of International Human rights law against africans and and. People of african descent by Law Enforcement agencies especially as those incidents that resulted in the death of george floyd and of africans and of people of african descent here some of the parts that washington convinced them to remove no longer does america have a problem with a races Justice System now its a common problem see no longer will the Us Government be shamed and called out for the murder of george florida now its a global murder we all black and white and asian and arab were all potentially responsible for American Police murdering a black man the a. C. L. U. Said it best what a circus it is absurd that the final resolution passed by the United Nations strips mention of the United States where Police Kill People particularly black people and alarmingly higher rates compared to other developed countries the United Nations needs to do its job not get bullied out of doing it and hold the United States accountable the country must face independent global scrutiny for its oppression of black people witness the power of american diplomacy the ability to bully the African Group predominantly made up of blacks into watering down a statement against racism the United States which itself pulled out of the human Rights Council asked its friends apparently to do a little arm twisting it looks like a back room arm twisting is going down the us which queer the human Rights Council has successfully enlisted the un missions of the u. K. France and australia to Work Together and undermine this important text the efforts of the us to board consular attention only highlights why such security is needed and how far there is still to go to dismantle the pernicious structures of institutionalized racism just one thing if George Floyds murder had happened in. Syria or in iraq it would have been a war cry i Police Officer knelt on a defenseless handcuffed mans neck as he slowly suffocated begging for his mother and all those american diplomats they would have been in the front ranks pretending to care screaming and frothing for justice only to deny that very same justice to anyone else. Against the of their we heard from Hussein Abdullah one of the signatories of the letter to the un calling for an investigation into systemic racism in the us. Its basically an insult to the human Rights Council it basically put out in the process were already live in an area where. There are use of human rights and. Civil liberties are attacked and there is a place where Human Rights Organization and it all. When i see institutional racism and Racial Discrimination and its a human Rights Council and if if you can our voice your opinion really in that youre an asshole without being affected and basically caving to the bullying and the pressure of the United States government and other western governments just show all the level of mistrust we are living when it comes to human rights. Now while a major corporations are throwing their weight behind the call for equality they are keeping quiet about their own overseas activities Transnational Companies have plants in africa the caribbean and asia where people receive less than their counterparts in developed countries however and he raises campaigns to seem to overlook the big disparity in wages will have a look at this story in a bit more detail just after. I pulled out all french people except 6th formers have to return to class today for 2 weeks of lessons before their Summer Holidays and the attendance in the past month has been purely voluntary the sudden decision though to make it mandatory has left school scrambling to get back on track and in line with new norms and regulations reporting from paris now his shot had been sky. Is of course 3 months since france went into lockdown originally schools were closed forcing some 10000000 students from schools of all ages in colleges to learn at home all their own or if they had access to. Competes in the internet to try and through online classes with a very mixed success rate at that from today schools now meant to be reopening here in france after president mike bourne announced that just a week ago so the schools will reopen theres going to be new regulations in terms of how they deal with the people so theres been a slight relaxation over the health laws to allow this to take place assess have a look at some of the measures schools will now be putting in place trying to keep students safe from 19 who wouldnt things they going to do is they going to continue a limited contact between students between classes in regards to how 4 students have to be away from each other thats recommended to be one meta distance but that wont be put in place for the youngest children such a new go to Nursery Schools if that one metre distancing isnt possible then he will be recommended that students and teachers continue to wear mosques in those classes now the government has called on parents to send their children back to school saying i have confidence in the system im calling on the parents to have confidence in the National Education institutions everything is being done for the children to attend safely some parents organizations have also been have the face to face contact they teach is to be able to mix with their peer group is also good for some parents who had a real tough time during the lockdown and since schools have been closed in trying to help their kids with their schoolwork in their classes particularly those who havent been able to access those online lessons that were available but some schools are actually out right defying the call by the government to reopen saying theyre not going to open their doors because they just cant put the precautions in place and some parents feel like that as well unions. Also been hitting out the plans as to teachers nobody asked our opinion there is no doubt whatsoever everything should have happened the other way you have to discuss it 1st with all the parties concerned before bringing it up to the government level its outrageous when you hear such news from the press and not from the authorities the reason obligation to return to school but there is no information on how the children will be protected the same goes for children whose parents are at risk one poll found that more than half of respondents to the post thought that it was our idea and only around 45 percent of parents said that they were going to be sending their children back to school in fact as weve been said here in the street this morning we have seen a steady trickle of some Young Children being taken by their parents which i assume will be going back to the classroom today but really there is an overwhelming support that you might expect the idea of children going back a week 2 weeks just before the summer break was about 6 face many parents may have already taken their children over holiday so it remains to be seen how the classrooms will be from the day if its clear from the Teachers Movement read depends also police too that the shouldnt be a rush to reopen schools. Referring to a couple of 100 teachers who gave up as a sign of how a 1000000 french teachers feel is completely outrageous resuming courses now is pointless by and large yes the minister is right every minute is important but why they needed he and his predecessors cancel so many classes and cut so many jobs and now in the midst of a pandemic he says every lesson is important so i believe that classes should be resumed in september this is planned to be done in many countries i dont think that collapse awaits them because of this i dont think that its li greece and spain will be doomed if they dont start classes in june. Well with the number of coronavirus cases in moscow slowly falling the city has been easing activity from to morrow one of the last stages will be lifted allowing all restaurants to reopen along with gyms and swimming pools however authorities are still demanding that people do wear masks and maintain social distancing but with summer in full swing in the city it does seem a lot of people are finding it difficult to stick to the rule which is 1st has been finding. Moscow has come along i self isolation has now been officially cancelled so we are free to to go where we want to hit the shops get along over q have caught i havent made it yet even died out for us. But also artists have kept some rules in place mosques are recommended and alongside clubs compulsory and in confined spaces and lets not forget of course to keep our distance so i decided to test whether muscovites are playing by the rules or living footloose unmask free lets go. 1st stop go to keep pop one of moscows biggest and most popular outdoor spaces it really has got everything a museum stating runts best of all restaurants an open ass cinema but like all city parks it was shopped for over 2 months and people really missed it so as soon as the sun came out and the city reopened they loved it here now i heard a rumor that they were kicking whether visitors were Wearing Masks and gloves but lets do some serious. Sit here at the very main gate there is a sign that clearly says this is the park please welcome us theres even a cute little diagram this want to process that we need to maintain a social distance a letter thats the one in a heartbeat says but its not actually being put into practice. Now im looking around and it doesnt look like thats any god who in fact that is a god but he doesnt seem to have that Anyone Around him is not in a mosque in fact i can see on one of the few maybe that is being particularly lax today because the weather is nice but either way its not great but since were here why did you speak to visit the park and see what they think about all these new rules theres little chance of getting them saturday on the streets if you keep your distance you are most i will want to mark the one where you know no one is willing to go to serve its not necessary on the street or just the virus doesnt live in this environment it looks you have masks and gloves to get them out. To maintain social distance yes even now i stepped away from you and your approach put troops on the stairs. To welcome us test and to voters because we spend a lot of time with patients whove had pneumonia since it all started back you have to have their own history of things just do without them oh no no i dont believe in chronic virus at all. Ok so weve patrolled the park now when one of the citys hottest hangout spot schools the whole reasons and often youll see musical and dance performances taking place and in the summer its absolutely packed with people eating and drinking so its the pulse take place to test just how much social distancing is going on. And now the final stop on our patrol of moscow this area is called the pay child ponds and its really developed a reputation for being the capitals restaurant mecca warmest some evenings the streets are packed as they are tonight and while the waiters might be wearing gloves and masks i can see that its not top on the list of priorities of the diet now i tried i really tried to get someone anyone to speak to me but apparently how people i know set free trying to make that happen if you eat. Well thats a wrap on all speed safety check moscow and the conclusion that ive come to is that authorities can try all they like to keep people safe but at the end of the day its pretty hard to change human nature especially on a warm summers day off to months of big. With life for many in russia returning to some sort of normality a Clinical Trial for a covert 19 vaccine has got under way in the country the 1st report into the progress of the volunteers has been published by the Defense Ministry all 38 volunteers are under constant medical supervision and all is said to be doing just fine at the moment russia is hoping the vaccine can be rolled out nationwide by the autumn. The best we can here is were invited why not help it was just an ordinary injection i do not consider it might not be roy. Got both on 100 percent ready both mentally and psychologically. It was because early a Clinical Trials of medicine including vaccines were regularly held in a hospital with the necessary expertise of a medical stop and a well established system will enable us to run a Clinical Trial of the vaccine at a high professional level. Here but all of the volunteers feel well we did not detect any great adverse effects spalling the vaccine injection. This course is for. Her father when will you come home i guess in for weeks or so. What do you remember about the lego yes i remember we promised it to you as youre very depressed or maybe when you come home deal with only a fool will go all together to buy. Some come the sound of the global stand against racism an investigation has been launched in canada after doctors there were accused of discriminating against patients with the details just awful. Join me every 1st week on the alex salmond sure ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or. Im sure ill see you that. Fellow again you with are taking now with the growing voice of the black lives Matter Campaign in the u. S. Corporations have been keen to show they are doing bad bits but with the spotlight firmly fixed on inequality at home some firms will be hoping he doesnt swing further afield explains why. A problem thats been ignored and shunted aside for far too long is finally being addressed in the us major corporations are shelling out massive donations revamping their racially insensitive brands and also tripping over themselves to apologize and its comforting to think that maybe this is just the beginning even the idea of reparations for slavery is finally gaining traction now does. It go and thats what i propose in this or our oath. To. Be reparations the California Assembly passed a proposal to establish a task force to study and prepare recommendations on giving reparations to africanamericans i know it had to be done now and you know it too lets not wait lets go do the study and that side was who should be direct Cash Payments but it would need time you know what has to be done but perhaps we should be forced to ask the question how much of this is a saving politics and brand activism and how much of this is a real attempt to change a broken system and maybe even more importantly whos being left out at this point will this brand reparations being paid to caribbean countries as well for example it is not enough to say sorry we are not asking for anything is mendicant is handing out checks to people on street corners the issue of money is secondary but in this instance the moral discharge of ones juicy does require in a market economy that you contribute towards development and what about the exploitation taking place in africa right now dont worry apples on it things must change and apples committed to being a force for that change today im proud to announce apples Racial Equity and Justice Initiative with a 100000000. 00 commitment things for the equivalent of your spare change ted but lets not forget that your company is one of a number accused of benefiting from child labor in the democratic republic of congo. Defendants. Apple alpha that dell microsoft and tazz law are knowingly benefiting from and aiding and abetting the cruel and brutal use of Young Children in the democratic republic of congo to mine cobalt a key component of every rechargeable lithium ion battery used in the elad tronic devices these companies manufacture. Microsoft google and several other firms were also named in that lawsuit and those 2 are pledging donations to fight racial inequality but perhaps the line share of that money is going to be spent at home and not on the sprawling the global and sometimes shadowy supply chains fashion is finding its conscience as well the clothing retailer is splashing the cash revised the say today h. And m. Group will donate half a 1000000. 00 to the National Association for the advancement of colored people color of change and the American Civil Liberties union we support these are going is ations in their efforts for justice economic rights and democratic empowerment lets change together we are giving a 100000. 00 grant to the American Civil Liberties union for its critical work in criminal Justice Reform and Racial Justice we must listen to the voices of then heard and join them so it becomes a lasting chorus that leads to progress and yet just a year ago people making clothing for them and other top labels were struggling in ethiopia to live on just 26. 00 a month and yes we get it you cant just say its all the companies fault would be great if they were that easy but competitive pricing and cheap foreign labor thats the way of the world and its likely that those textile workers in ethiopia might be even were. Staff if they didnt have those jobs paying them next to nothing just like there is no saying that those people yes even children risking their lives when the copper mines to be shut down what were seeing is the structural consequences of oneill ism and sleeve are throwing money at the problem is not going to cut it anymore taking out a few statues of braces is going to do it either whats not needed is a cosmetic lead up real change has to go much much deeper. The canadian province of British Columbias launch an investigation after reports of hospital workers playing a racist game according to reports doctors and nurses had been betting on the level of alcohol in the blood of indigenous patients the game had been reportedly called the price is right after the popular game show is also claimed to was not isolated to one facility the Regions Health minister adrian dix was outraged by the claims. If true it is intolerable and except of all in racist and its effect on patient care is intolerable and acceptable and racist. People frequently suffer discrimination in canada including from its Health Service according to the British ColumbiaPatient Survey of sorry Patient Safety and quality counsel there are many cases when Indigenous People receive delays to treatment or are even denied medical help procedures are sometimes carried out improperly without respecting a patients heritage while cases have been recorded to when pain relief was withheld we heard from Daniel Fontaine who filed a complaint against the medical staff. There are many different forms of discrimination the one that has been highlighted this week relates to health care obviously but there are larger issues for Indigenous People around lack of access to or housing issues around poverty and Economic Development there are a number of issues that are longstanding and go far back but this of elation does highlight the need for us to have to take action and to move beyond just simply another report and more words but actually taking action and and having that action be on the front line canadians have been bold for a long time about issues around racism when were talking about racism in the workplace clearly that is not acceptable its not something that anyone would support when youre in a job and you are especially a Public Servant working within the Public Health care system it is expected that you are going to treat absolutely everybody who goes through the emergency doors equally and if youre not or if youre incapable of doing that then you should be removed from that Health Care System immediately.
