Sumi some of scandal is in washington she gave us more detail about the if the f. B. I. Is investigating investigation from iran and russia got their hands on Voter Registration data they use that information the arraigning groups did to send these threatening emails as you mentioned and as you said in those emails that said vote for President Trump or else now these emails were actually signed by the group the proud boys this is the White Supremacist Group some of our viewers might remember that the president refused to denounce in the 1st televised debate and this is a group that does support the president but that was a false flag there is a lot of information we dont know at this point ill tell you what that is thats crucial we dont know which groups were behind this we dont know if Voter Registration databases themselves were accessed because that would also be a really key here and we dont know what the intent was the f. B. I. Director said the intent was clearly to hurt President Trump but if you think about it if democrats were intimidated from going to the polls or perhaps didnt cast their ballots that certainly would hurt shoebite and so we are hoping for more information to be revealed in the coming days. Day to see me some must come to and racism and Police Violence have become King Campaign issues offer a series of killings and the months of protests that ensued in minneapolis the Police Killing george floyd sparked global protests people are still trying to come to terms with what happened many are asking if trust between police and citizens can ever be restored. Minneapolis may 28th the 3rd precinct building of the Minneapolis Police Department Said the blaze during protests against the death of george florida in police custody. The Burning Police station becomes a symbol for the protesters fury for their demands for an end of Police Racism and patellar. 5 months later abandoned boarded up and secured with cement barriers producing 3. Still a symbol now signifying the citys struggle to make the changes the protesters demand to the local Police Department and how police against them many apple is still. Dealing with the fall out and the controversy and the trauma so rounding george being killed by the Minneapolis Police department there is definitely a breakdown in terms of trust between our elected officials and their constituents as well as between their constituents and our Law Enforcement Community Volunteers from being a cop a moment to prepare to patrol the neighborhood then the 9th ward of minneapolis where george floyd done christian and local and growing in number we just thank you for your blessing. As we walked the streets of the group recently recognized and supported by the city is filling the gap created by the collapse of trust between police and the black community with Police Patrols largely absent from this part of town they have taken on the task of proactively protecting the community from rising crime we want to have selected police are not community who live in our community who look like a community and then thered be a better pace like how we can wreck talk to them and how we communicate to each other Minneapolis Police recognize the need for urgent and fundamental change says the p. D. Chief eric force he sees new recruiting strategies this critical for any Real Progress one of the best things you can you can have as a department thats as reflective of your community as you can get it especially people from the community and thats really what were pushing forth stresses that from his point of view there are at least 3 of the Top Priorities for reform there needs to be deep in gauge went with the community secondly would be trainings with how we deescalate situations and lastly what that requires all of this. Is the personnel to do that but words are not enough so as theyve been a local activist with a group called communities begins Police Brutality theres been talk of reform theres been some radical talk from the city council but there has been virtually no action whatsoever and were not seeing a lot of initiative for action from the city council the mayor the police chief the city council sort of abolishing the Current System of policing but was hit by a sobering reality check. My advice to other cities who are facing the same challenge is to ensure that when you are going to divest from our your crew policing system that you really do ha have. A much longer and proactive plan for instituting alternatives that have been tested and worked after hours of patrolling the neighborhoods the a government decide to go home theyll be back tomorrow night and the night after that the changes they were pushing for you know its kind of more of a generational change you know because we want to make it better for our children their children and this is this is this is like our starting block right here you know as were trying to pave the way for. The time government has rolled back an emergency decree banning protests in the capital bangkok and had been put in place in an effort to calm antigovernment demonstrations that have been escalating for weeks but the measures failed to discourage tens of thousands of demonstrators from turning out for protests around major bangkok intersections demonstrators a demanding the time premiers resignation and reforms to the monarchy. For more on this lets bring in philip show well from bangkok hes the edge a correspondent for the british newspaper the sunday times philip protests is said that withdrawing the measures was not enough what are they demanding now. Well theyre demanding what they were demanding before this decree was put into place you have to remember that theyve been on the streets for 4 months and they have a series of demands and those remain those remain from 2 foremost for them and those are the resignation of the current government now thats led by general. He staged a coup in 2014 and then kind of came with maintaining office last year under a controversial election that the opposition claim was unfairly held there demanding a change to the constitution which includes unelected senators and which and embeds the current higher up top down system and most contentiously like lupul reform with the role of the family which is a long venerated institution its been a complete to even discuss the political and military financial previously but some of the students are gone now and that is its on their demand so all those are still outstanding and the Prime Minister said he will call. A session apart and it still recession opponent which is otherwise in recess next week but theres no indications that the government is really going to offer them any substantial narrow 3 major areas of demand. Some of them high profile late as were arrested during the crackdown well the rollback mean anything different from them what can they expect. At those protest leaders. Some of them are still behind bars and some have been bailed but theyre facing very serious charges including sedition and several of them and the but the the the protest organizers and the protesters are now adopting the manager there you know we are all leaders they are absorbing theyre taking kind of the hong kong approach in last year which is that where were leaderless were not dependent on particular individuals theyre spreading messages via social media theyre spreading messages on the street and so those protest leaders do face very serious charges and one of the main demands of the protests is that those charges are dropped of also demand from human Rights Groups and opposition parties but also theyre not letting that undermine the actual strength of their own of the demonstrations they mentioned no Real Movement from the government so what about from the royal family have you heard anything have we been hearing anything from them. That the palace does not comment on Current Affairs and we wouldnt expect them to know their modus operandi but the king did last week meet a group of former communist rebels who were once fighting to overth
