Hello there good afternoon thanks for watching out here the weekend with me kevin though in this hour im here for 30 minutes the latest from our world news h. Q. Here in moscow 1st. President ial predecessors at Mount Rushmore donald trump the game of people wanting to tear down monuments in an address on the eve of Independence Day this years 4th of july celebrations come with a backdrop of weeks of anti racism protests which is seen demonstrators say to remove or destroy statues linked to slavery along with symbols of the civil war confederacy which are all indelibly linked to that era. Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history defame our heroes a race of their years and indoctrinate our children angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders to face our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of Violent Crime in our cities well a few hours before that address there was a standoff between the National Guard and protesters led by native american activists more than 100 blocking the road leading to trumps event why police shot smoke shells at their feet and use pepper spray around 15 protesters were arrested as the deadline set for them to leave the park. So this year than there are likely to be more than a few mixed emotions as americans mark their history and it perhaps means new questions over traditional symbols more about them 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 their 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 Needs 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 thank you. 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 adriel park you can see how its been burned 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 us going back to things that we dont want to go back to it could see as 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 of it will 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 to mend the rift thats been formed. Return for the 2nd night in 3 days police in portland in the state of oregon have declared protos there to be a riot. Oh over at the latest one there had remained peaceful to the night until a group of protesters set fire to some wood just outside the Justice Center police say several people started fires threw rocks and launched projectiles with slingshots at offices and talk of officers the police the reputation of American Police has taken a major blow over the past month with calls to defund or disband forces its hitting morale to a recent survey of officers 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 some of the main reasons listed for that include a lack of support from bosses and overall lack of respect for the profession and concerns for officer safety however all that said ray lewis is a retired Philadelphia Police captain who says he 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 and 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 ice or of 19 of my years in the belly of the beast in the ghetto socio economically depressed black areas and that historically these people have seen and heard a Police Brutality be there in them their family their name we heard their relatives it was only their spend Police Brutality since day one but now and now what i consider one of the greatest inventions ever is the video cell phone 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. For the 1st time in months people england can now meet up for a drink eat out and go to the movies after the government began lifting some of the coronavirus lockdown restrictions people could also get their hair cut for the 1st time since march while the the 1st professional kurt all those home horrors but at least sal longs restaurants cinemas no other Public Places have been allowed to open at midnight bars or wait until 6 in the morning just open a few hours ago and a few customers took advantage of a boozy breakfast all the newly reopened businesses must adhere to the rules or masks and physical distancing which has been reduced from 2 metres to one metre plus some couldnt wait though police tried to break at this illegal street party in west london on friday night took a turn for the worse their. Officers had to run for it after crowds chased them off pelted with bricks and bottles 7 officers were hurt doing their job worth bearing in mind Prime MinisterBoris Johnson encouraged people to start getting out to support Hospitality Business is that when its so odd but also at the same time of course to be careful. Dr im only succeeded in controlling the virus because everyone worked together. And we will only succeed in releasing if everyone works together again because were not out of the woods yet but i will certainly buy and drink a pint but not a yard and i really do need to repeat the message to everybody this is a big turning point for us weve got to get it right lets lets Work Together and enjoy some safety is at the right time to all for how to look at early term going on there are certain areas you got told us to communities from as little. Different my concern is more also on the fact. That decision to of what. Has been done on a saturday. Without any thought given to hold the Emergency Services to look. Things on saturday. Wont quit we not have tried to have a pilot one of the few of us to see how old things were reacting with the already or well meaning both of the social distancing measures but looking 2nd has always been on the cards and the recent below it is that even with the best estimates we suspect anything between 80 to 90 percent thought pollution of the United Kingdom has not been exposed to cook that we cant just what were going to know. But i will go back and all of. This is normal but you know that its a big risk. Nigeria says it saddened that 2 sculptures it says belong to the countrys Igbo Community has been auctioned off in paris the country maintaining they were stolen during the 1960 civil war but the auction house christies insists the sale early this week was legitimate. These objects had been lawfully sold having been publicly debated and previously sold over the last decades prior to christies involvement. The curator of Nigerias National museum says the work should be repatriated and compensation should be paid he also appealed to other auction houses to stop sales of artifacts suspected of being looted during the war evoking the black lives Matter Movement a petition to try and stop the christies auction said that Racial Injustice applies not only to the black body but also to black culture and identity all that said the cell went ahead anyway the 2 wouldnt think is selling for nearly a quarter of a 1000000. 00 in the end member of Nigerias National commission for museums told us theres no doubt that our deal is due pocket 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 there or original. And shipped across the border. Where the european. Where which in florida and pretty much what christies was seen is that it was not european dealers all the objects from the original owners are there they are free to so you know the words its all ok to sell the west a little by someone else this is basically what theyre wearing and i think that is rum and i dont think that that can be sourced in any legal proceeding. Chinese media zeroing in on washingtons top diplomat for fanning tensions between china and india secretary of state might pompei or lauded india for banning dozens of chinese mobile apps amid of simmering territorial row the really blew up just last month. We welcome indias ban on certain mobile apps that can serve as an appendage of the c. C. P. Surveillance state indias cleanout approach will boost indias sovereignty. It will also boost indias integrity and National Security is the Indian Government cell itself has stated 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 signing 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 so from the flames of hatred against china hong pears remarks that came after india banned the citing National Security concerns tensions between the 2 countries ridged a real head last month when 20 indian soldiers were killed in a brutal clash with chinese troops in disputed border territory and is also anger in india too of a claim that china is flooding the country with cheap imports something the government describes as unfair competition having face strong pressure over how to respond to what india sees as chinese incursions indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi paying 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 big to go told us washington is exploiting these heightened tensions at the moment. And now right now has a border problem with india thats hostile act but other countries especially the United States army superpower militarily speaking the world should avoid getting involved should avoid taking one side against other United States seems to be very delighted for the attention the g. 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 cation between china and india china and india share a border of more than 3000. 00 people. And china and india need to stand very well for peace and stability rather then being pulled into a war against each other. We go so much more lined up here at all to International Thanks for taking the time out to watch us this weekend after brecks it will it really be next out of the doors a big question or more more peoples lips public feeling abandoned by brussels during the height of the pandemic has caused. Sentiment to grow. Financial while guy i dont buy any i promise you. Almost friday as of last summer buying from the future trucker was kaiser. From here russias overall constitution is now in effect following the weeklong vote that wrapped up on wednesday the majority of voters indorsed the changes with some 78 percent in favor from a turnout of about 68 percent the volcker opposed to moment thing concerning social legal and economic guarantees the package also redefined eligibility for the presidency restricting future leaders to serving only 2 terms maximum the most contentious amendment though the resetting of putins terms allowing him the possibility to run for another 2 terms if and that they choose to do so. Some of the people are not happy with the changes though dozens of supporters of russias biggest Opposition Party the communists and activists from the left front socialist movement of gathered to protest to the president ial office in moscow they say they dont recognize the result of the vote and they consider it fraudulent there were 839 reports of violations during the week and best occasions have been launched Officials Say the reported regularities of mostly minor and wouldnt affect the final tally. Facebook submitted letting 3rd Party Developers improperly access users personal data again the companys repeatedly promised to clean up its thousands of apps of continued nonetheless to gather users data long after they stop using them 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 from time it will come as a surprise to no one that there is once again been a breach but this time its nothing earth shattering but the company does ask me around 5000 developers were. Able to gather information on users long after they were meant to in 2018 we announced it would automatically expire and naps 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 did 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 and 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 work 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 users that had their information a good word 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 made and yet the issues keep on coming which means trust will keep on falling i want to stop the question of 3rd Party Advertisers or developers then its an issue of features that the company to. Made and have to apologize for 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 party 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 but 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 i 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. Or trouble to over a fellow into the giant google is privacy battle is its now on a 2000000000. 00 mission to buy fitness tracker and device make a fit bit the deals caught the attention of european regulators and privacy come pale as though thats because needs access to a lot of free personal data to work properly like sleep. Rates and everyday physical activity Consumer Rights groups to google could try to monetize the most private of information. Regulators must assume that google will interact is utilize the entirety of food business 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 or search for 3rd parties it also promises to be transparent about what type of personal information is collected and for what purpose campaigner and Technology Expert build new businesses sure though. 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 its seeking to integrate into its ecosystem both organizations arent actually being entirely truthful it is about the dates both organizations have a Business Model that is all about data what were seeing is a less sudden less trust of all sites 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. 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 eve sentiment the coronavirus breaks compounded those feelings of plenty of italian say they felt abandoned indeed by the e. U. As that pandemic took hold brussels eventually did apologize for neglecting its a u partner and agreed bailout packages although quite how that is going to be used to still up for debate at the height of the break a survey showed that 49 percent of italians wanted out of the e. U. Another study suggested trust in brussels has dropped 64 percent since 2001. And the other link with brussels of course is the shared currency the euro is still got support in italy according to a poll there last month more than half of people are ok with it only a 3rd oppose it the senator who setting up the new euro skeptic party believes italy needs to leave the e. U. To regain its economic power. At the moment we want to overcome the perception that neo liberalism is 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 d 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 its 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. So far more from martys world view center with me in half an hour or so reporting from moscow its kevin o. And thank you for watching and hope you have a great rest of this week. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived weve been. There were to view houses were our prison was located and the only people had access to the story for investigators sure held the uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean one of. The great ignore in. Your sort of. Crying for justice on r. T. Line after it as you were going underground is u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson allows pubs to pull pints for the British Public while still under the influence of the worst capita g 8 coronavirus death count in the world coming up on the show as u.
