Allow their thanks for watching r t that weekend with me kevin owen here today im here with 30 minutes of the latest from our world news h. Q. Here in moscow 1st than overlooked Vice President ial previous ss at Mount Rushmore donald trump took aim at people wanting to ted monuments in an address on the eve of Independence Day this years 4th of july celebrations come with a backdrop dont they have weeks of antiracism protests which is seeing demonstrators seek to remove or destroy the statues linked to slavery along with symbols of the civil war confederacy which are indelibly linked to that era. Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history defame our heroes erased. And indoctrinate our children angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of Violent Crime in our cities just hours before that address there was a standoff between the National Guard and protesters led by native american activists and more than 100 block the road leading to the trunk of bent riot police shot smoke shells at their feet and used pepper spray around 15 protesters were arrested as the deadline set for them to leave passed. So this year theres likely to be a few mixed emotions as americans mark their history then and it perhaps means new questions over traditional symbols well that next from donald quarter. The 4th of july is a time for barbecues fireworks and of course the American Flag a time when americans are exceptionally proud to be well american and for decades leaders have used the occasion to proclaim that theyre part of the greatest country around america is the greatest country in human history. That america is the greatest country on the face of the earth but this year people apparently are not buying it recent polls suggest only 17 percent of americans can confidently say that theyre proud of the current state of their homeland and who can blame them this years 4th of july falls on a day when economic recession a Global Pandemic and nationwide protests against institutionalized racism all plague the country the us desperately need solutions and the people desperately need a holiday but for some criticizing july 4th symbols of patriotism seems to be on the top of the agenda. Many are calling to switch the National Anthem from the starspangled banner to america the beautiful supporters of the change say that the current anthem is racist since its composer own slaves and some of its original lyrics were no doubt outrageously bigoted but most americans rarely ever made that association in the 1st place. Flying the flag on Independence Day has been as american as apple pie for as long as memory serves but this summer the stars and stripes are feeling the heat thanks. For just. Over a 1000000 means even signed a petition to replace the flag with this version of americas most patriotic symbol of course it was. Likely not intended to be taken seriously but the sentiment remains. The Founding Fathers another icon americans can easily identify with they declared that all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights but in 2020 many have been more concerned with their slave owning past and the statues built in their name have come under assault because of it washington parks the monument to its namesake is just the latest in the city to get painted over there in baltimore at the George Washington memorial and statue of drill park you can see how its been built allies with red paint on the words destroyed races another statue in portland has been taken down by protesters this time George Washington video and social media also shows them lighting it on fire americas latest on rest against Police Brutality is not the 1st time weve seen how a countrys past can influence the president in a negative way but will attacking National Symbols that serve to unite americans on Independence Day fix those problems or will they serve to further divide a nation that seems to be ripping apart at the seams it very well could end up being dangerous i mean we could see going back to things that we dont want to go back to you could see is forgetting about things that we dont want to forget about there may be statues and in different types of symbols that might need to be removed but if we leave it up to the looks itll go basically it will go crazy i mean because weve got people on the left who are trying to tear down Abraham Lincoln and other members of the union so its not just the confederacy some of them are just seeking to to to cause damage and destruction our nation has been very divided over the past 3 or 4 or 5 years or so its been a lot of those that are next its been a lot of the fringes fighting in the loudest on each side you know excoriated so it has caused a divide and i think it will take some time to get back to a sense of normalcy and the mend. The rich thats the or. I. Mean told this going on to for the 2nd night in 3 days police in portland in the state of oregon of declared protests a riot in the city the latest rally theres remained peaceful through the night until a group of protesters set fire to some of the Justice Center police say several people started fires through acts and launched projectiles with sling shots at the offices. Complete taken a major blow over the past month with calls to defund or disband forces as you know its hitting morale too amongst the police a recent survey of officers out now has found that a staggering 80 percent would not encourage their children to enter a career in Law Enforcement seems only 7. 5 percent said they would and some of the main reasons listed for that include a lack of support from bosses and overall lack of respect for the profession and concern for officer safety ray lewis is a retired from adelphia Police Captain who would recommend joining the police now and he told us why. Officers that are not encouraging young people to go into Law Enforcement are those officers who are afraid of accountability. They fear being held to the high standards of the job and so far theyve had free reign theyve been able to do what they want when they want and now thats and it right there is no respect and there should not be until its earned i said there are 19 of my years in the belly of the beast in the ghetto socio economically depressed black areas and the historically these people have seen and heard a Police Brutality be there or them their family their names you heard their relatives it was a late night theres been Police Brutality since day one but never and now what i consider one of the greatest inventions ever is the video cellphone White America is waking up because now all that they heard all their life is being contradicted by what they see i would absolutely encourage anybody to join the police force because its a changing police force now the new police force forces are going to be held much more accountable to be responsible to their communities and there is no more rewarding job then a police officer. They see this morning facebooks admitted letting 3rd Party Developers improperly access uses personal data again the companies repeatedly promise to clean up its output thousands of apps have continued gathering uses data long after they stop using them next than jacqueline looks into why the social media giant apparently isnt learning from his past mistakes. Facebook might want to go ahead and make their motto sorry about that just to save us all some time itll come as a surprise to no one but theres once again that been a privacy breach of the book this time its nothing earth shattering but the company does estimate around 5000. 00 developers were able to gather information on users long after they were meant to in 2018 we announced it would automatically expire and apps ability to receive any updates to this information if our systems didnt recognize the person as having used the app within the last 90 days the recently we discovered that in some instances apps continue to receive the data we fix the issue to day after we found it that was also mentioned multiple times in the blog post that users didnt initially give permission for their info to be collected so its not only the companys fault that they didnt cut it off like they promised right i mean you do have to get facebook credit for trying to be more proactive about these issues but how many more apologies are people meant to accept this was a major breach of trust we didnt take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake it was my mistake and im sorry and im sorry for it but im sorry and im really sorry that this happened apparently sorry doesnt seem to be the hardest word plus there were these ads bought in major u. S. And u. K. Newspapers that said things like we have a responsibility to protect your information if we cant we dont deserve it the irony about that was all among the cambridge analytical scandal when there was an estimated 50000000. 00 users that had their information that we werent up for profit now after that about a year later a sucker bird tried to turn things around by announcing his vision for a privacy focused social media experience i believe we should be working towards a world where people can speak privately and live freely knowing that their information will only be seen by who they want to see it and wont all stick around for ever. If we can help move the world in this direction i will be proud of the difference we have me and yet the issues keep on coming which means trust will keep on following what is not a question of 3rd Party Advertisers or developers then its an issue of features that the company itself made and has to apologize for i really messed this one up somehow we missed this point with news feed in many feet and we didnt build in the proper privacy controls right away this was a big mistake when our part and im sort of for it. We have made a lot of mistakes building this feature but we have made even more with how we have handled them we simply did a bad job with this release and now apologize for it broken record much and yet the list goes on and on and on this article actually breaks it all down from the very beginning before the company was even called face and yet here we are again but really what else can you expect from a company that works on an advertising based Business Model meaning those Companies Need your private information in order to properly target you and theyre willing to pay for that and honestly do we really get to be mad anymore for me once shame on you fool me every other week well at least some things in life are predictable. Yeah. Well meantime fellow internet google is got its own privacy battle of its hands right now its a 2000000000. 00 mission to fitness tracker and device maker fitbit which has caught the attention of european regulators and previously. Fit but it is day to day job needs access to a lot of very personal data to work like sleep. Rates and every day physical activity consumer groups fear that google could try to monetize that most private of information. Regulators must assume that google will in practice utilize the entirety of feed this currently independent unique highly Sensitive Data set in combination with a cell phone but equally as this could increase its profits google insists it would not use any health data to target advertisement sore sell it to 3rd parties it further promises to be transparent about what type of personal information is collected and for what purpose Privacy Campaign run Technology Expert bill new it is so convinced. Were now seeing a further acquisition this time by google of flip it and where is facebook argued that it wasnt all about the data it was purely about the other networks and trying to create synergy between them and in the same way google is saying its not about the danger its about the devices that it seeking to integrate into its ecosystem both organizations arent actually being entirely truthful it is about the dates are and both organizations have a Business Model that is all about data what were seeing is a lesson less trust on all sides each time that facebook and google and others make further mistakes and make slow the promises that will eventually lead to keep the amount of trust in their arms in the relationship is reduced and i think what i think were seeing is a situation where the regulators are being forced to take action. Exactly quarter past the morning the next story nigeria says its sudden the 2 sculptures it says belong to the countrys Igbo Community have been auctioned off in paris the country maintaining they were stolen during the 1960 civil war but the auction house christies insists no the sale earlier this week they say was legitimate. These subjects are being lawfully sold havent been publicly exhibit at and previously sold over the last decades prior to christies involvement the curator of my cheeriest National Museum says the work should be repatriated and compensation should be paid he also appealed to other auction houses to stop the sales of artifacts suspected of being looted during the war evoking the black Matter Movement or petition and to try and stop the christies auction said that Racial Injustice applies here not only to the black body but also to black culture and identity well the sale went ahead anyway as you heard the 2 wooden figures selling for nearly a quarter of a 1000000. 00 the member of Nigerias National commission for museums told us theres no doubt that update is pocketed trophies of war these sculptures that i was a particularly interested it were taking in 6869. 00 while there was a civil war going on in a chair and these were stolen from their original owners and shipped across the border. Where the european. Where waiting for them and pretty much what christies was saying is that it was not european dealers that all the objects from the original owners are there they are free to sober you know their words its all ok to sell the west a little by someone else. This is basically what we mean and i think that is wrong i dont think that that can be sourced in any legal proceeding. Around the world from russia this is r. T. International still to come this saturday morning Chinese Media is taking aim at the u. S. Secretary of state accusing him of stirring up trouble between beijing against india as the to work out that simmering border dispute in the wake of last months deadly military encounter just one of the stories about lined up for you so this was back. You cant be both with yeah you like. The world is driven by a dreamer shaped by the one person that i respect. Dares thinks. We dare to ask. Again Chinese Media zeroing in on washingtons top diplomat now finding tensions between china and india secretary of state might pohnpei oh lord it india for banning chinese mobile apps the 2 neighbors of course in broad right now in a simmering territorial russia which reached a deadly peak months. Acting like a cheerleader the us is guaranteed india with no Real Investment but inspiring lip service it will not benefit indias development if the country is captivated by empty talk anyone with the sony eyes can easily tell what pompei or who keep spreading lies and misleading the public intended to do was nothing but grab every possible chance to fran the flames of hatred against china or impose remarks came after india banned 59 chinese mobile apps and citing National Security concerns tensions between the 2 countries reached a head last month when 20 indian soldiers were killed d in a brutal clash with chinese troops in disputed border territory theres also anger in india 2 of the claims that china is flooding the country with cheap imports something the government describes as unfair competition. Faced strong pressure over how to respond to what india sees as chinese incursions than indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi paid tribute to the killed soldiers during a surprise visit to the disputed area but china is warning its neighbor against making a strategic miscalculation and for the 2 to Work Together for the sake of stability chinas International Relations expert to go told this washington is exploiting the heightened tensions. I dont know right now has a border problem with india thats a fact but other countries especially the United States army superpower militarily speaking the world should avoid getting involved should avoid taking one side against the other the United States seems to be very delighted for the tension existed between china and india and even seems to be very eager to see the tensions further escalate it will be a very misguided strategy for the United States to provoke a higher level of tension between china and india china and india share a border of more than 2000 to kilometers and both china and india need to stand very 1st for peace and stability rather then being pulled into a war against each other. And italian senator says hes ready to launch a new Political Party with the aim of a breakaway from brussels to capitalize on growing anti sentiments the corona Virus Outbreak has compounded those feelings to seems plenty of italian say they felt abandoned by the e. U. As that pandemic took hold brussels eventually apologize for neglecting it so you partner and has agreed bailout packages although quite how that will be used to still up for debate at the height of the break a survey showed that 49 percent of a tally is wanted out of the e. U. Another studies suggest trust in brussels has dropped 64 percent since 2001 and the other link with brussels of course is the shared currency the euro its still got support in italy according to a poll there last month more than half of people are ok with it while only a 3rd oppose it so lets. Go in a whos setting up the new euro skeptic party there then believe italy needs to leave the e. U. To regain its economic power. We at the moment we want to overcome the perception the neo liberal. The only model to base politics on today governments may change but the policy which is pursued always comes from brussels. This is long term reflection since we have been trapped in the european cage we have lost our purchasing power we have lost the momentum which allowed italian businesses to be competitive globally the weeks and months of covert highlighted once again an absolute lack of political will in the e. U. The e. U. Does not exist there is only the german union which benefits the German Economy itself and the countries tied with it the point is that exiting the European Union in euro zone means exiting a Macro Economic vision that has benefited only the financial elites and multinational corporations so far we can do without the e. U. It does not seem to me that the e. U. Strengthened italys economy i would say the opposite we remember when it really was a sovereign country it was the 4th power within the g 7 so we know perfectly well which direction to take to develop our country we will be able to go it on our own again to manage all the funds we need to relaunch the manufacturing areas of this country tourism definitely needs a fresh push as our attractions appeal to everyone the problem is that we do not have an opportunity within the e. U. To develop our economy and this made in italy brand like we should be doing. Still in europe the former french Prime MinisterEdward Philippe is facing an inquiry over his handling of the corona virus pandemic there which claimed almost 30000. 00 lives in france the move came just hours after he said the government resigned as head of a reshuffle 2 other officials are also being investigated to a former Health Minister and her successor the court of justice which deals with cases of ministerial misconduct received 90 complaints which included endangering the lives of others and even manslaughter the complaints came from citizens doctors and unions the former Prime Minister said in a statement that he took no to the decision and would help investigators Edward Phillips to down the hall for. As present mccraw move to reenergize the government with a new Prime Minister and cabinet although polls suggest the people have more time for feeling badly the mark wrong with crude bluewater between their Approval Ratings last month. Sunday telegraph columnist and elizabeth the table leaves mccrum wont be happy with those numbers. In the case of i dont think anybody can prove that she didnt shy to do his best and some of his best in this crisis where everything was new might not have been good enough and i dont know the details but i can see it being pretty troubled right now i keep in amazement because they are leaving in good and the gossip i hear is a tidy defragged that. He didnt necessarily want to go that the president are offended by the fact that the Prime Minister had 20 quite small or a prepared speech that he had and there was a kind of miscalculation and the president gave a great orations during the qubit crisis and people just thought these were pompous and not very interesting and meanwhile. What he was giving results and getting it by taking questions and it coalesced in the mind of people now he was and he was competent he was somebody who was not above himself and the impression was then and the result is now 2 years from the president ial election. The suspicion is that imminent always afraid of keeping. The question is he will dangerous outside or inside.
