Looking for the new Democratic Socialist Party now that labor has gone back to blueness im rob says i think saddam is playing a game here boris told him that there will be a deal will hold him to his word whether thats enough to top a boris is that full but it could be the only mechanism julian says christiane will no doubt win support from some disgruntled tory voters however he is far from the socialist dream of the grassroots labor supporters i see another tony blair on the horizon and finally maybe says is england on the whole socialist im not so sure labor might be heading for the same old dance again not left enough for scotland and not for england time will tell.

Deaths of of young men and protect a predominantly people of color from ethnic minorities in the United States or hope that the latest reaction to the the killing of george floyd will will finally be the moment where america toughens of karma and signs of justice which is sick. Well my prayer today is that we were founding here in fact mit Police Officer for ross of the killing and host of the people from tulsa jail because this is not something that we can see we were called to jail that they have one of they had a gun in the unit but they have to go home in there for this and theyre all just like regular people are really ticked off a uniform so they have developed that they have to think that they have family to a 10 of the above the law or no particular time and death where people want to be their Mental Health is real they have Mental Health as well in the Police Department and they need to have help the officers need to get help and too many of them being higher than in the military than in the war was and theyre theyre retired and theyre working for the police darling when you a mother of mothers took. To the gates of the white house were you disappointed that the 1st black president of the United States barack obama wasnt able to do more to meet your cry for justice and more change was introduced in terms of the the the changes that you were speaking honestly i really thought that we were on a make the president even go in met his staff a representative i was disappointed at the have a net meeting that no changes have been made in the Police Department around health around the nation nothing has been changed. And thats a something particularly powerful when a a mother speaks about the death of a son of as a something to take leap of all that gets a message across of that sense of loss and emptiness is so great film and knowing that people remember your child when someone calls you up and say we need to know can you speak or when you go out in the corral and they recognize you and they say we have mothers saying right here we have mothers who are out here fighting on how we have mothers who are in the street who are out here to the street both to the graeme innes a really good some of the be back in there when im out there it really is because so much respect because they still let you stay in and not i want to stand up because so many people are just afraid what would be your message to rally people to to pursue that that sense of justice well i will say to everyone. That dont give up we are going to get what we want and the Police Departments in the commission is going to have to listen to out the mains go with the main event with a management that people who are mistreating her lease offer her lawful or her will be in costa waited for the actions not just file you on the job but not to the we want to do it scene gather because we cant do it alone and this isnt done lima a change in the white house is a quiet thought as a change in the hearts of men and women looking for change in the Police Department and baltimore them indeed the Police Departments across the United States whats the key changes require the key change is the hair everyone to vote and encourage people who have that then vote simple and we need new people and office mapping in it may be some younger people who have the straps and the energy to do the job and also we do not have a president who is on out that were thinking about people per year about making sure that america is safe from Police Officer who are not enough guarding came from baltimore thank you very much for appearing on met Alex Sullivan show and thank you so much. For coming up after the break with discuss host young people across america rolling to the bottom of the full test and replace the a couple most of us in the Historical Context join us im. Chris. Has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. Based drugs to people who are chronic pain and believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be certain to do the price at the. Grocery dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isnt scientifically justified and ill study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually very very right because we want to. Show its seemed wrong rowles just dont call. Any new world yet to shape our disdain for the conflict as a kid and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. You. Know whats a clip of she will be no use to you. All scripture but the way its always at the ok i was sober go through all more work on the late but not so much you need a new thing immediately. They can put us in the mood at the current build up by the smithsonian bush and the open to get into the cooking look at the day our. City they have a rabbi yes. The jews yes well. Welcome back. The protests following the slaying of jones floyd have swept the world but for the speed of the. Young woman in America Philip joins me from chicago philip. A graduate of truman scola with us motivated june to get involved in these protests over the last few weeks what motivated me i think its by virtue of my live experience as a black American Woman i grew up on the south side of chicago and. Had being you know experiences in encounters with Police Brutality myself those around me but also the prevalence of racism within the country and Touching Every aspect of the lived experience from education to Health Disparities to bullying you know the list goes on and on and you know i am poor everyone you know im not you know full time protester im not a you know full time civil rights activists you know by title im a regular person but its the regular people that are standing up to say that these are injustices and that we must you know see change in our lives for myself and for my future children grandchildren and so forth and tell me about taylor behl mode of a soft official you use metal in the the protests have they come from all walks of life and all communities go to protest big volunteer and its such a rainbow both races but experiences ages kids there is a lot of sex and so on and so forth and so from that it is inspiring to see that this is not something that is just my battle but you know its slowly transform the as it should be become our battle this is art. Now there been so many slayings and examples of Police Brutality over the years in the United States what is about this killing the killing of jobs floyd the provoked this extraordinary action both across the United States and indeed across the world. People have said you know enough is enough that specially when the video george for white a modern hearing on the Taylor Family and kenneth walkers the mc speak you know d seeing those recordings over and over again critics say you know when youre at home youre able to consume so much and you could not excuse any boiled people well and i think that that coupled with the fact that we think about hope it 19 and how it has ravaged america and how its disproportionately impacted black and brown coons i think that that in itself has incited a lot of rage and you know. A lot of people speak up about the injustices and number of public figures everybody from megan mostel to former president obama have said listen really all about voting in november this is about changing the occupant of the white house as thought one of somebody told us the something more to it than just voting you know i think that thats an excellent question and you know i definitely a 100 percent agree i definitely think that voting is essential and he now also think that you know it parallels the voting its also important to think about the cultural implications that how we need to shift our minds that the racial tension is so imbedded with in American Culture and with the american ideology because its so pervasive this is every factor the presiding policy from all will not change it but i definitely think that its a great and important start killing the Civil Rights Movement in the United States is a long history you and your colleagues a standing on the shoulders of giants its a message you hope to pass on to the next generation to your own children in the future perhaps about what happened in 2020 if you had a message to pass on what would it be. I think that you know im hoping that the message that i have to pass on is that weve come to a point where i dont need to pass on a message you know to my future children you know mommy mommy is trying to do the hard work or you feel that i dont or you dont rather have to do that in the future and the social media is a jew be very aware of that and of National Mention of these protests how big of. That being on the protests in the United States i think that it is. Truly inspiring to to see the global out line you know ive had the fortunate opportunity be able to travel the world and also live abroad actually studied as a martial scholar in the u. K. And you know to understand race and global and see blackness from the british perspective to having you know friends and me from liberia pictures of people who hold that thing you know from russell to brazil to i mean it literally has become a Global Movement and with that being said you know i think that the movement has been calling black lives matter black uterus matter black love matter but matter is is just the minimum black law are cherish their beloved theyre important and theyre essential to the world in much the same way as it is as all other lives are right now were focusing on black law because they have been disproportionately impacted to littlemore of chicago thank you so much for the fitting analogy simon show and good luck to you and your colleagues thank you thank you so much. Now there are a few people who know more about the recent history of protest in the United States than the cofounder of code pink Medea Benjamin not least because shes organized many of them but here joins me from Miami Florida but the of benjamin were seen remarkable scenes across the United States and around the world over the last few weeks but it is 6 years since black lives matter was formed as an organization your Organization Code pink of taken the relieved mothers to the abomb of white house victims of Police Violence so why is it this reaction to this killing the killing of george floyd this time has provoked this reaction. When i really never know this what it is that will create a Tipping Point for this perhaps it was because it was just so incredibly shocking to see im t. Right being sucked out of a person over the course of our 8 minutes and then people felt that any of this and there are. Plenty any case as you know alex this is been going on and on and im really the 1st ladies were brought to the us but in recent terms we can name so many young black people mostly men but also remember the rights have been snuffed out from the police and at some point in unity just has to say no to lean on acceptable this is not the razor the lies nations gave and very proud of the us citizens for their reaction then we inhabit i sure vindicated ive been to so many killings in the past perhaps a 1000 a year on before a huge emphasis in towns of the minority ethnic communities im interested in why when you took your protest to the Obama White House that the 1st black president of the United States presumably somebody who wanted to to see a change and what was happening why do you and your nice to mason was president obama not able to to do more to change this position to achieve justice much challenge. Its a big question now like i said im not really sure i dont think he pushed hard enough i think that perhaps being a black president made it more difficult for him because he wanted to show that he was not favoring one community over another he was a very centrist president not rock the boat whether it came to issues around being the black community or issues of Foreign Policy that i have been so active on he really came in as somebody. That was with him our party and on the subject to push but how significant do you rate the interventions so for the top generals not to colin powell it warming the president that has directed it because the devices and the fact of the the threat to deploy as a regular army on the streets of the United States there is a love affair with generals and so when these generals former general kimmitt. Come out and blast the president the way they have it is. Something that shot 3 Community Opens up people to maybe even in the Republican Party about the kind of backlash that has
