An official. At least 40 percent of europeans believe that the block has shown itself to be irrelevant. Couldnt count on the help of the. Very good afternoon to you thanks for joining us here on r. T. International. Locals in a district of london are complaining of Police Aggression broke up a street party that turned violent events have been gaining popularity of late despite it being illegal under lockdown rules 22 Police Officers were injured following the disturbance. But what began as a large scale street party quite peaceful descended later on please. Clashes on this very street here in angel town in brixton now police were called around the 1 am 2 am mark to try and discuss the crowds from the scene but weve seen some quite alarming footage emerging on social media including police being hit with bats but also Police Responding in quite an aggressive manner as well over 20 Police Officers have been injured as a result 2 of which have been hospitalized but also 4 people remain in custody for public order offenses now what ive been hearing on the very scene from local residents is quite a different picture to those alarming scenes in the people here in the community so the case really need to be acting better and made to this pandemic of racism worldwide but also an incident like last night has merely exacerbated tensions between the police and the community it also has to do with black people that whole we feel as well do you know this we are we feel as if we are being targeted so when we feel as if weve been targeted for me i will retaliate you know im quite peaceful other people they will retaliate if you succeed if its nice of you and they would have been the folks distribute your stuff from around you to get you to sit through what you did like. They would do the next book when you take you know your buttons and you push you know its. For a herd of sheep it makes us feel like animals i dont like stuff like that you know at the end of the day how i see is just for many of the parts is a 1000001 things going on and ive never seen a bunch of use of this like just to be dispersing people out like that they would see them p. C. An ox in my skin because youve done the same thing to us now the prime ministers spokesperson has said that the scenes last night were appalling and that any party that use violence against police will face the full force of the law weve also heard from the home secretary preacher patel shes labeled the incident as vile weve heard from the mayor of london sidique khan as well and he said that last night. Events were completely unacceptable plus the metropolitan police a sudden event of a scale of thought of last night was unlawful pubs and bars and restaurants are of course closed Community Centers in areas like this also remain closed so people are having to go to public spaces like streets and parks to congregate in a social fashion but it brings the point that they are not surveyed and not patrolled by streets and parks and even lit so many would argue there are not enough safe spaces to actually do so which arguably would bring placing into question all the lack of especially when we look back at how the government has handled this coronavirus pandemic in all its for us its not just clinically and medically but socially as well from one of the National CounterterrorismSecurity OfficeChris Phillips police of the problems are the result of attitudes towards the police. Its so very long is that the phrase 3 of the last 1015 years have been emasculated by government by the media in such a way that theyre really quite scared to take strong actions because they know that they will be criticized for so in my opinion their actions yesterday may have been good in the short term preserve their own safety but of course to allow them all as we saw yesterday to take control of the streets is always going to be wrong and needs to you know. We need to have a complete rethink in the u. K. As to how do you deal with it and i think 6 theres no respect or fear of the police anymore which allows these people i think that they can do this without any repercussions the mob is there because it feels that its got its got the ability to do this now and the police arent going to react in a strong way that they will do it and until we get hard at these people we wont be able to do with the problem. The blank lines mentally but its impacting on many sectors and one of the latest is the Beauty Industry several companies are faced a backlash in fact for marketing skin whitening products Corporate Giant unilever is now announced that its going to rename its product line which is currently called fair and lovely. We recognize that the use of the words fear white and light suggest a singular ideal of beauty that we dont think is right and we want to address this the move comes after 2 petitions demanding a ban of the products attracted thousands of signatures the petition states that these whitening products were developed for internalized racism and promote anti black feelings unilever wasnt the only company in the crosshairs of activists u. S. Giant johnson and johnson was also forced to take quick action its going to pull from the shelves its entire range of lightning products which are distributed in asia and the middle east to start you know i mean they pick. Why did you raise your eyes without the boys in the field conversations over the past few weeks highlighted that some product names or claims on air neutrogena and clean and clear dark spot reduce of products represent fairness or white as better than your own unique skin tone this was never our intention healthy skin is Beautiful Skin or a lot of consumers who use the creams outrage that was happening its an issue we put up for debate. Theyre removing these products that are not used to correct issues of you know skin issues but they are used to create the fairest of possible skin and such products should not exist they should not be marketed they are result of White Supremacy and colonialism i think if your were to remove whitening claims he would have to also remove tanning solutions to mean lotions tending oils so i think that we should make it completely legal still because its everyones choice to have you know whatever they want to do with their own bodies the difference between bleaching and tanning is this bleaching your skin comes from an ideology White Supremacy and selfhatred is actually in my opinion a form of self mutilation where if you. Really want to remove the melanin and the color and in your skin because you want to appear as wide as possible i think its up to people to decide what they want to do and for example if you say that women cannot no longer get breast implants because its massaging a stick because men look at their breasts more thats like saying the same thing i mean every every day something is going to be coded as racist and i dont think thats right and i think that people are moving way too fast with this notion and i dont think that should be the case as right now there is never a speed thats too fast to eradicate racism we have been for hundreds of years seeing the remnant of that. Nation in the form of selfhatred and physically for china its rooted in attempting to create parity with europeans who came in sign a back in the thirtys i think that chinas case about why you know what incomes and whatever its based on not by supremacy but its based on and in the in the old days when workers used to be farmers they would take a lot and then it would be perceived as more poor if you go out in the sun so its not about why supremacy is about peoples own thoughts and minds and cultures if a person who works in the sun is seen as a worker and a lower income person then thats. Thats actually been used across hundreds of years in asia to discriminate against black people and people who are darker a star said this is a person saying i dont want to identify with my ethnicity either way its peoples rights to their own body whatever they want to do i dont like how payola look i put 10 cream on every day and i think its great i dont think its White Supremacy i dont think that im trying to be black and i dont think im trying to be darker its just i think that thats why i like it suits my body well and i like that the status symbol. Of the artist i think created in the minds of people around the world that if you are white you are better than has been brainwashed. And unfortunately it was her face or not even inspired an. Insane talent that Michael Jackson possess inside of his well matt i think what we should do is that we should educate people on the notion that that white isnt just so most beautiful you dont hear of stuff in the shelves to make that happen and you could educate people you commit make a movement saying that i think that if you remove these when creams off the shelves people go to dangerous notions dangerous measures to make them their skin away provide education for children for the future your future generation the current generations to say that hey whiter isnt beautiful and you are perfect just what you are and then its up to them to decide what they want to do with their lives. Their opinion was proved to be largely irrelevant in the pandemic according to a new opinion poll the findings come after certain individual Member States complained that they had to look outside of the block for help as coronavirus took hold of skid teller reports. A crisis a time when your colors are really showed when you are the pilot together or fall apart or just prove yourself to be neither here nor perhaps more worrying than the large numbers who say the you performed burghley of even larger numbers has been irrelevant a new poll reveals a damning portrayed of how easy it is and think about the blog in the wake of the create a virus pandemic if this were a popularity rating you would be seriously worried about reelection so what led to this loss of confidence what we all know to ease proud of it open borders its one of its selling points moving from london to paris is busiest swapping a bowler hat for a barry Free Movement is also ironically one of the things that failed brussels minister and we all share the conviction that travel restrictions or border closures would not be appropriate in the particular precautions at this point. But as the number of infections continued its upward trend criticism within grew to the fact that a party that was no far the game plan other than just leaving the door open. We were told that it was obviously very important that we should be under this umbrella of a European Union countries to Work Together the European Union has said nothing the only thing they have said is that there is absolutely no need to set up restrictions on travel at the buddhists and then the peak passed when countries pondered how to restart the ailing economies reopening and letting tourists and was seen as a logical step but even that process was riddled with indecision and disagreements. It is crucial for us to coordinate our choices on the european scene particularly with regard to the shan given area however at the moment this is not happening. I was also a bit of a free for all on how individual countries behaved with them at that open borders its me knocked out of threw away the key no restaurants no sport nothing britain dollywood before following suit but you could back the size on the street are not where mosque and suite and people continue to walk around eat cinnamon buns and dogs around the maypole as for testing the u. K. And france have similar populations but 4 times more brits than french have been tested and looked like there was no strategy in play no wonder the e. U. Needs of Health Official resigned in frustration and dismay ive been extremely disappointed by the European Response to cope with 19 for what pertains to the complete absence of coordination of Health Care Policies among Member States their current opposition to a cohesive Financial Support initiatives to provide a safe one sided border closures and the marginal scale of synergistic scientific initiatives and on the streets but also wasnt a feeling that it was one for all and all for what economists known european age has been great in a they came from within the e. U. Community. I dont know when germany or france and we are always there for them when its the opposite not so much. We should be thankful to russia but also to china and cuba as well as to other countries outside the European Union which brussels did show some remorse it is also true that too many 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 that still didnt stop the chaos from continuing because its in the overwhelmed by 34000 that got a relatively poultry 2000000000 euro from the Emergency Relief Fund while hungry with just 6 of the population of italy and far fewer kovac thats got more than 5 and a half 1000000000 years to distinguish between the fact that people demand more asian and say theyre 80 and with their. Say that 80. Should have most of the day to meaning the german and should be germans and want to build and theres been a literacy between the different states in fact theyve been stealing from each other people taking. Medical supplies from another i mean the European Union youre seeing is based on the idea that you can build from above and then you know bill catchy cui a utopian citizenship that simply does not exist in the mancs of people are sort of on demands right no one was ready for this but the European Union sin was not in the fact that it struggled with this unprecedented crisis but that it failed to live up to its name. Now after a short break well be hearing from the commander in chief of mars armed forces who was among special guests attending this weeks victory parade in moscow. 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 then. Come back at this weeks spectacular victory day parade in the heart of moscow was attended by a number of foreign dignitaries who got to watch proceedings in red square among them the commander in chief. Correspondent down with him after the jubilee procession to get his impression of the event his feelings about ties between russia and International Relations and. Thats why didnt you know also thank you mr synod general for your participation in the victory parade in moscow despite the difficult situation worldwide concern in the pandemic and thank you for taking the time to talk to us i would also like to express special gratitude to you for your role in helping 19 russian citizens who were trapped inside myanmar due to travel restrictions because of your actions they have successfully returned home additionally i think its maybe an unprecedented act of rescue which was as i understand your personal initiative how did this idea come to your mind you know. A british nation is very compassionate if others get into trouble we consider how we can help them my visit to russia was already shared jeweled but there were many unoccupied seats on the plane so i thought why not take those people with me these russians have problems returning home due to the travel restrictions and i imagine how happy they would be if we took them with us theyd feel relief and not be happy to us thats how the decision was made compassion was the main reason. You have just returned from red square where you watch the victory parade together with the russian president and military leaders of other countries what do you think about it the parade was very solemn i liked it everything was ordered and harmonious the soldiers marched through beautifully and i would like to know that despite the clear discipline in the ranks they march without much tension there was none of the usual stiffness among the participants as often happens in parades the movements were very coordinated and look natural moreover the parade demonstrated the success and great victory of the russians of course im personally proud of this and im sure that the russian people a proud of their victory it is natural that any people are proud of their achievements this parade was truly a reason for pride and infuse yes im what im for the other during these years a military parade which commemorated the 70. Feast anniversary of the soviet military in the great patriotic war we saw russian aircraft flying above moscow myanmar as armed forces which you have been the haddow for 9 years also have Russian Military jets and helicopters how do you feel about this cooperation. There were russian made planes and helicopters on show at the parade i had a chance to see original russian aircraft i can say that these are really powerful modern aircraft they flew slowly and low so i managed to get a good look and addition i want to note that the pilots who controlled them a really high class specialists it was also nice to see the planes and helicopters there operated in our country and i felt proud that we have russian equipment. That are you satisfied with our aircraft huge i am yes they are very good jets and helicopters. And the use of russian aircraft by myanmars armed forces is of course a result of military cooperation between the 2 countries how would you assess the current state of relations between the 2. Russian. Military cooperation between russia and my own ma has continued for more than 20 years this is a rather long period and weve been able to establish cooperation in various fields weve reached a rather high level of cooperation this is important for us and we hope to further develop and strengthen it. Russia considers the countries of the Asia Pacific Region to be key partners and appreciate its relations with them your country included of course what does the alliance with russia mean for myanmar. You know our relations with russia began more than 70 years ago and have a long history during this time russia has always helped mine Market Opportunities for why the corporation exist not only in the political sphere but also in the economic and cultural sphere is entrepreneurs and investors could directly participate in enhancing Economic Cooperation if russian entrepreneurs travel to mine maher and burmas Business People travel to russia the level of contact between ordinary citizens would increase and this would positively affect the development of friendly relations between the 2 countries cultural cooperation is equally important as culture is the soul of a nature we all have our culture and if we establish a successful Cultural Exchange this will also positively affect the development of our relations. The fashion it all uses the word i think i can see that you welcome the widening and deepening of relations between russia and myanmar and perhaps you have a chance to influence this trend the constitution of your country allows you to continue center in myanmar as a high level including in its most senior position if that happens do you have any particular plan for what you would like to change in order to achieve your goal of developing cooperation with russia not only militarily but also economically culturally socially. And oro regardless of any position i will occupy 1st and foremost i would like to develop friendly relations there is much to do in various fields as i said Economic Cooperation should be developed it is also important to cooperate to ensure regional and World Security since the establishment of peace and tranquility in the country and around the. Well it would affect the development of the economy russia is a leading world power so im sure that our cooperation will bring positive results. He lost the civically about russia i would like to add that our goal is develop good relations with all countries we are ready to strengthen friendship and work for Mutual Benefit both with neighbors and more distant countries he was more of a probably maybe you are right and indeed it doesnt matter what position a person is occupying but im still pleased to think that perhaps i sit in front of the next leader of myanmar to do that thank you we open it up also you mentioned Security Issues and there is a very important base domestically and globally and often they concern the fight against terrorists in something that pays is a challenge for the whole world lets talk about that number then how do i go with regard to terrorism we must begin by defining what terrorism is it doesnt only involve armed groups that create chaos kill people or engage in illegal trade h. Terrorist group has support from a country defending its interests and maybe not even one country terrorists need money to buy weapons territory to deploy military bases so its obvious that someone is helping them terrorism can be defeated through various means including direct political negotiations with terrorists or through various organizations it is also possible to destroy terrorists using military force if necessary but there is a 3rd way into governmental cooperation if there were truly friendly relations between countries based on trust and mutual support terrorism would not exist terrorism arises when there is no trust and honesty between countries when commitments and made to fight together against terrorism but then support for the groups is still provided. Yes there are only 3 main methods of struggle theres the military option theres diplomacy and political negotiations and then theres mutual cooperation between Different Countries which is more effective and peaceful if. These are the words of a politician on a deployment rather than a military person speaking about the possibility of you to become the next president of myanmar the fight against a pandemic has also become a security issue this year how is your country copywriting with russia during the call the 19 pandemic and how is that fighting the virus at home. Regarding the covert 19 pandemic i would say the situation is very dangerous the virus is invisible it cannot be detected easily and it is difficult to fight it there are 3 ways of solving this problem 1st we need to show self discipline listen to the instructions of doctors and in this case the number of infected people will decrease 2nd is necessary to help each other stay at home not to meet people and if someone gets infected then protect our loved ones the governments of blighs to provide the population with protective equipment we cannot cope with the virus alone it is necessary to Work Together and all countries need to discuss ways of getting out of this if we guided only by personal interests we will not be able to win we will need to abandon selfishness thats what is the shit over them go this year the world commemorates the 70 feet anniversary of the victory over thatchers nazism and a period listen dear in world war 2000000 more suffered to a toll to japanese intruders from this point of view how countries are quite similar what does the world need to do to prevent this from happening again. I would like to say that the past holds lessons for everyone we should not seek to blame anyone for the destruction of our country during world war 2. It doesnt matter anymore we all learned a lesson and we must analyze it and try not to repeat the same mistakes we did not wage war against germany or japan specifically but against fascism which can appear anywhere in any country this is a very dangerous thing the question is good the answer is also simple we all need to ask ourselves what we can do to avoid repeating the same mistake and then it wont happen again it was but instead. The last question the 9th and as i heard the number 9 is rather symbolic for your country id like to return to the parade the victory parade is usually held here on the 9 for me but it had to be postponed due to the pandemic i know that the parade in new york country also hasnt been held this year are you going to hold it any time soon. As you go over. The parade depends primarily on how the pandemic develops and Additional Data needs to be agreed with the government and it also depends on the weather right now is the rainy season in mind mark its not the right weather for a parade for our people 9 is a lucky number the day of our armed forces is march the 27th the numbers of which also add up to 9 i do not want to give an exact date for the parade as it depends upon too many factors and if something does not work out it wouldnt be good there must be some kind of back up date with jeffrey choose a lucky date after the end of the rainy season. You know a bit of a im sure that when never you do hold the parade it will be spectacular especially now that youve seen the parade in russia and if youre willing to show it to the whole world our channel is here to help. The parade demonstrates the power of the state and the military spirits of a nation that is not hell to threaten other countries it simply shows the strength of the country you have a wonderful parade today i also plan to hold a large parade in march and the next 1 will also be big and solemn i plan to broadcast it live to the whole world because if you want to help with this im glad to hear it and ill definitely invite you. But i have one condition i would like you to film not only the parade but also our country sights on nature and the culture of our people. Despite instruction also mr general thank you for the invitation and for talking to us we really appreciate and we wish pieces and prosperity to your country myanmar thank you.
