World wide this national on the stories and reaction that were across the. Hundreds of protesters in the u. S. City of defied an overnight curfew designed to bring an end to unrest the violence erupted after police shot a black man multiple times in the back on sunday the 3rd night of protests 2 people were shot dead and a 3rd was injured. Led. Us. Down a hole. In the. Bricks and safe and those things like that you can hear think the whole thing behind me. The machine shop. Here. Theyre making some sort of announcement on exactly what theyre. Asking about implants and put on their gas masks. Thank you for some of the polling and. I think the crowd is gradually moved back to the front of the car. If. You can see the pepper balls 1st thing and then the sense. Of the whole of the grand. Peaceful protests and. There was a look behind me. Thank you. Arwa lets now look back at how the unrest in wisconsin began on sunday and also its causes but just be aware that this is upsetting video of what happened it shows Police Shooting jacob blake from behind his family say that the 29 year old is now power lies from the place that wealthy american political commentators are. Tourer says hes not surprised by the subsequent protest. Thats told either to Dave Lindorff whos from the news website visit cant be happening good to have you back on the program dave in the last hour a 17 year old was arrested and charged with 1st degree murder following the 2 deaths at last nights protests with civilians now confronting protestors how much of a dangerous turn is this. Its very dangerous i mean this is like wild west you know. We have a country with over 300000000 guns in private hands and so when you get this kind of unrest where you where you know people are burning buildings and rioting and theres nobody in charge and people decide to defend their property. They have the weapons to do it and and the thing is if that starts happening then the rioters are going to start coming with their weapons everybodys got guns in the us and i dont but you know just about everybody and so youll have people shooting in both directions and its going to be chaos i dont know well one question for most of us not in the United States with so many guns in circulation the water can the authorities realistically do to prevent such incidents especially in the current climate. Very little i mean less you know a lot of times the police are in favor of gun control because they know that its. A crazy situation that theyre placed in if everybodys got guns so you know if the bullets are going in both directions what do you do than but i would say you know in the context that you know studies have shown that black black people who are being a rested by. By police are 2 and a half times as likely to be shot and killed as white people and thats a thats something you have to include in the thinking here. And can i was should i try to cafe that doesnt seem to be working or have now been 2 fatalities how do you think of and going to play out tonight. Its hard to say i mean i think the fact that some people were killed i dont know the race of the people who were killed or the race of the person who was arrested do you i didnt know theres any a name at the moment and that this young man is 17 years old and arrested in illinois but i havent seen any of the details beyond that you know that the race or otherwise whether he likes or otherwise the guns are on the straight and the cappy doesnt seem to be working and when normal nor enforcement is try to clamp down on protests previously in recent weeks for other reasons when theres been other types of protest thats been met with resistance to what the other options are that focus. Says theres really not a lot of other. Options i mean when people are angry as they certainly are from this really vicious killing of jake of blake. By 3 white cops they are going to respond and so then when they respond now now we have the situation where in a state like wisconsin where weapons are freely available theres no literally no control over guns in wisconsin so you know everybodys armed youre going to start having shooting in every direction and i i mean i wouldnt want to be a cop but on the other hand the way the cops behaving has been reprehensible and it leads to this kind of violence with no other country you know modern developed country has as many guns in the hands of police when theyre patrolling heavy weapons and have shoot not only shoot to kill policies but fire all of your bullets policies thats why we hear bang bang bang bang bang bang bang instead of just bang with police they shoot and make sure that the their guns and to people when they shoot ok now the difficult night ahead another tough tense night for the people of can find out dave and go from that this coming happening dont that news website thanks for having me. Well theres also anger why can osha police still dont have body cameras which could have shed more light on what happened despite city authorities approving body count way back in 2017 supplies are said to be delayed and they still wont be ready for another 2 years a body count rules in wisconsin are inconsistent. As dont have them in other parts of the state that only have to wear them but they must also keep the recordings for months in case an investigation is needed the americas been swarmed says that would have made a big difference in the case of jacob blake. It is institutional failure and by the way there it is not true that there are not clear regulations in fact the governor of wisconsin has set out very clear guidelines for how body cameras are to be used how long footage from those body cameras is to be kept in Public Record when thats all been laid out so that the problem is when you have a situation like what we exactly what we had in this Community Just the other night this is why body cameras are so badly needed over and over we see it because an officer tells one story the person who is in confrontation with police tells a different story witnesses tell a different story and then you have the story of those who manage it in some cases certainly not in all but in some cases get to use their cell phones to capture any. Version of what happened right because the camera video that we see from a distance is not the whole story its a snippet the moment of it but body cameras are supposed to protect the officer and the person whos being confronted but theres been such a push to not use body cameras to run away from that technology that it becomes disingenuous when there is a situation like this and now the mayor says oh its a budget issue its not a budget issue its a lack of will issue. Another day and yet another antigovernment rallies taking place in better routes protesters once again have been packing into the center of mens because they continued to campaign against what they claimed was a break to president ial election goes down as more from the capital. The protesters behind me they have decided to light the flashes on their phones to make themselves visible so you can you can see the scale of this protest about a few 100 people have decided to come out here in the Central Square of the better russian capital and so well some of them have taken their dogs with them sort of walking their pets here and theyre making their voices heard to the right of me theres an improvised podium and does a special person who is kind of steering the protest with a chance with the slogans you know all of them of course are calling on the resignation of the incumbent president of belarus Alexander Lukashenko and well but i wont go as far as saying that this that this country that belarus is torn by the protests by the opposing protests but right now almost this the Anti Government action has has been a daily routine here people have been showing up in numbers daily there was a huge a massive protest on sunday as the 10s of thousands of people showed up this is like a demo version of it now its like about a 1000 times smaller but i mean of course it is it is a day so people have their daily business to attend to also progovernment protesters have been coming out in the streets as well but now we have a person here one of the protesters who is has agreed to talk to us who is going to tell me why hes here and so on and so forth so hi thank you so much for agreeing to tonight to me could you please shortly introduce yourself and tell me why youre here my name is ron im 26 years old i work in the tech sector here in belarus in a private company and i have been coming here for the past turned a half weeks a little bit exhausted but to all the people here are hopeful that this persistent protest to this peaceful protest percival will help us make some change in the country if you following a channel like nec to for instance a couple of days ago it published a post essentially giving out. Personal details and linking to social media of some of the young people who showed up at the opposition protest and excuse me of the prover progovernment protest i talked to one of the girls and do she essentially showed me thousands of messages with obscene language and so on and so forth do you think it was such a good idea for a reliable source of information as you put it to in fact to essentially docs a young girl like 21 years shes for 21 years old she in fact had to leave her home she shes scared do you think this is something a reliable source of information should do well im opposed to that i dont do that personally. I dont approve of that basically but we should understand that a telegram channel is not a professional media so to say and they are entitled to some mistakes of the a does begin in phases but the good theyre doing for our country is right now a little bit bigger than the negative impact they might have occasionally they have more than 2000000 followers do you think that they should be held accountable for the mistakes they make i think will give a fair evaluation of their actions after everything is finished but right now its a little bit of a chaotic time and people shouldnt be judged on minor mistakes when theyre good theyre doing is greater 5 excuse me for a personal question are you married yes i am what you would how would you feel if your wife got more than 4000 messages calling her all sorts of words and wishing death upon her and her family and so on i wouldnt have about that obviously but i would be more scared if my wife was put into prison and beaten and harassed and or possibly even raped it which is our government doing right now its much worse than any words that might arrive to her in messages. British Prime Ministers join the growing chorus of International Voices demanding an investigation into the alleged poisoning of russian opposition activists alexina valmy but before any probes even have the chance to get going Boris Johnsons already stated as fact that the felony was deliberately targeted. The poisoning of alexander short the world the u. K. Stands in solidarity with him and his family we need a full transparent investigation into what happened the perpetrators must be held accountable and the u. K. Will join International Efforts to ensure justice is done Boris Johnson the british Prime Minister saying that the u. K. Backs an independent investigation into what happened to alexei novelli it would seem he supported in that by the German Government there was a press briefing on wednesday here in berlin not a lot mentioned about mr no violence but they did say that they stressed the importance of an investigation taking place over the atlantic in the United States u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o said that he was concerned by reports that its come out from germany and that stay should they prove accurate the United States supports a full investigation now what weve heard coming out from moscow is to me to the press corps of the kremlin spokesperson saying that moscow also wants to know what happened but the findings of the german clinic alone arent grounds to launch an investigation as far as theyre concerned mr peskov also sent out a warning against jumping to conclusions we repeat that were also interested in finding whats happened to the victim numerous analyses by our doctors have been no help in detecting the substance that causes current state were not aware of the german medics found a substance numerous wordings about poisoning that are widely used now we treat them with patients but do not agree with such a version at the current stage 1st we should find the poisonous substance as were the statements of discontent they should come officially and not from the mass media or the hospital in skin russia that 1st treated alexei and carried out tests to see if they could find any toxins in his system 1st offered to share all of their information. With the hospital here in berlin theyre now calling on the shot at a hospital in the german capital to share information with them to try and determine exactly what they found in alexina valley system as it stands at the moment though when it comes to the condition of the legs in a vial knee what we know for the latest is that he remains stable but in an induced coma theres been no further updates from medics here in germany we discuss what might be behind the calls for an investigation with geo political analyst a consultant rainer office. We are in the reality of politics of geopolitics and therefore the wording selected by different political needs to be weighed. Before the background of political intentions iraq facts and i think that we see a clear line here that Great Britain has a certain interest of. Damaging the reputation of russia and in the script our case 2 years ago we have never seem to hear evidence of what was latched in that time the poisoning of well i just see. A reputation of a certain case of a certain pattern which yeah fits into the overall framing which has been built concerning russia that its a cruel regime which hoists and its opponents are kills its opponents it with nothing from moscow on the way a storm or ups in the u. K. Off the b. B. C.

A lot of human Rights Groups are angry at facebook after it blocked a 1000000 strong protest in thailand thats critical of the king tut on samos prodemocracy rallies with some calling for reform of the monarchy Facebook Says its been pressured by thai or thorazine however the social media giants had no issues about full force is being challenged in countries and i guess they have been taking a look at that. This is an entirely new paradigm where weve been seeing the birth of a new type of censorship customized. Censorship what you say no longer it no longer matters where youre from what matters is who you say it against. Thailand has a very specific law its called the less majestic and what it does is criminalize any negative speech towards the king all the queen or the air or the 2nd there and so on so the rule family cannot be criticised by anyone if you beg criticize the queens dress for example the kings haircut you face 15 years in jail 15 years this now apparently includes International Criticism so on facebook for example which just banned uprooted more crecy group of 1000000. 00 people for hurting the kings feelings after careful review facebook has determined that we are compelled to restrict access to content which the Thai Government has deemed to be illegal 23rd century you cant criticize a person because his father gave him a shiny crown and told him he was special having said that there are many many people in thailand who almost worship the rule family which is their right among their fans too in fact is the u. S. Secretary of state you know this is a long shares relationship church a set of 200 years and i know we will remain great and good friends for the next 2 centuries as well we could report mr pompei stark raving duplicity and hypocrisy after all mr pump arrows happy to cozy up to the saudi king for example it is of dictators who regimes that mr pompei will facebook have a problem with its where those autocrats are from.

Down band approved china groups slew of them we causally working to detect and stop this type of activity because we dont want our services to be used to manipulate people the United States and other free nations will continue to protect our peoples from the long arm of beijings authoritarianism i mentioned earlier customized censorship this is the result censorship the lid to a time and a place no one rule for all so you can fight for freedom so long as youre fighting for freedom from someone that the United States doesnt like if youre fighting for freedom from othellos prepared to ruin your and your familys life because you wrote it mean comment about him well you cant do that see he is pumped his pow. And here we are europes last dictator they call him lucian ko same story really a part of the population loves him a part of the population hates him and pump ale has a picture of them hugging each other really does have a collection not one theyre still trying to decide by the way washington facebook is this an autocrat who is good for america and should they threw the democracy groups under the bus and label them haters. Who is at a disadvantage though his daddy see he didnt give them a crowd and say that it protects against rowdy peasants. Debate about britains colonial past is making news again in the u. K. After the b. B. C. Confirmed its removing the lyrics of 2 patriotic songs that it likely classical concert the problems 18th century song rule britannia has been criticized for its links to slavery while land of hope and glory penned in 1001. 00 plugs of the British Empire Prime Minister Boris Johnson no insists brits shouldnt be ashamed of their history. I think its time we stopped cringing embarrassment about our history about our traditions and our culture and we start this. Part of nation and witness i want to get that off my chest all the b. B. C. Says the lyrics were dropped because covert restrictions means that there wont be a usual flag waving Live Audience to sing the songs as theyve done in previous years heres some of the reaction weve been hearing. Prince of multicultural country has anthems written in the. Early 18th century prefix of britains imperial past so well and good maybe this reclaiming museums where they rightly belong but i think on a National Broadcast we dont want to hear that sort of stuff and certainly thats only my background if you are black or asian or from one of the commonwealth countries then the implication that brits will never be slaves doesnt hold quite true for you and neither you or the cendant sniping should go almost everybody in the country likes that and they enjoy this up in the one night a year the last night of the problems its been going on since 8095. 00 so thats when the problem started so its a carnival culture its a part of our heritage and they should state really its not the place of people who have just started working for the b. B. C. To decide that they can stop us singing britains a multicultural country is not a country. A land of hope and glory and how can we pay be patriotic to a country that formally because black british citizens as we saw when ross county we want to have a real debate about the nature of citizenship among them compared to helping but to try and suggest that this country treats everybody with equality before the lord is complete hogwash in fact were an Unequal Society and a deeply Racialized Society hasnt been proven by Research Time and time again so were singing songs about touching and then we need to find a new tune and you would see go with them that reflect the modern realities of britain in the 21st century in this country in the United Kingdom there is nothing going on its the same as this you know its a kingdom its one of the best places in the world for black and brown people to live its not a racist country this now there is systemic racism simply isnt true look like i got on well im a London Assembly member and.

Drivel that we just said relation to this being some sort of wonderful meritocracy of antiracism burnaby b. C. Culture reflected changing culture times and we see programs removed from the b. B. C. Like Love Thy Neighbor and god knows what else and there will be more of that to come up salute he sure and this is just another element of that that was something completely different i wouldnt agree with that but were not talking about that were talking about last night in the front so shouldnt yeah look what i did for the b. B. C. Once diversity find it can have diversity but youve got to have tradition in that youve got a city by British Culture not every other culture of our own and thats whats so wrong about this.

Based drugs talk to people who are chronic pain patients and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the Real Research to do. Price at the.
