Hello good morning its monday the 22nd of june youre watching R T International where shes gone 9 oclock here in moscow the u. S. Secretary of states accuse the u. N. Human Rights Council of after it released the resolution drawn up in the wake of the killing of george floyd almost a month ago my pompei o also pointed his finger cuba china and iran where he thinks Racial Disparities are truly systemic however the u. N. Document itself has also been criticised by activist groups for being too mild is more against the reports when the entire world gets these agri this new reus something must be done right scoops in Civil Society have mobilized armies of activists and lawyers to make sure that it does its now or never hears that chance to get rid of xenophobia and make this world a better place. The undersigned family members of victims of Police Killings and Civil Society organizations from around the world call in Member States of the un human Rights Council to urgently convene a special session on the situation of human rights in the United States in order to respond to the unfolding growth human rights crisis born out of the repression of nationwide protests the a. C. L. U. When 600. 00 organizations have written to the un human Rights Council to take action to do something new that the United States gets mentioned specifically for obvious reasons you watch my brother dower there could have been me i hear. You i mean youre mad in a sense are your brother the 1st escape on air america and you have the power to help work get those from. The u. N. Human Rights Council hears them it gets to work and draft statements it says what the people wanted to say strongly condemns racism against africanamericans and the Structural Racism built into the American Government it says it will investigate abuses against africanamericans in the United States this is far of stuff powerful and righteous we believe the situation in the United States warrants country specific intervention and then a thematic global investigation is also an idea what happened was a too harsh maybe an unacceptably strong stance against racism they call racism bad names because those righteous words didnt make it into the final report they were moved here is the watered down blub blub version that they agreed on the draft resolution now before the Council Requests the high commissioner for human rights with the assistance of resident relevant special mandate holders to prepare a report on systematic racism violations of International Human rights law against africans and and. People of african descent by Law Enforcement agencies especially as those incidents that resulted in the death of george floyd and of africans and of people of african descent here some of the parts that washington convinced them to remove no longer does america have a problem with a race is just the system now its a common problem see no longer will the u. S. Government be shamed and called out for the murder of george floored now its a global murder we all black and white and asian and arab were all potentially responsible for American Police murdering a black man the a. C. L. U. Said it best what a circus it is absurd that the final resolution passed by the United Nations strips mention of the United States where Police Kill People particularly black people and alarmingly higher rates compared to other developed countries the United Nations needs to do its job not get bullied out of doing it and hold the United States accountable the country must face independent global scrutiny for its oppression of black people witness the power of american diplomacy the ability to bully the African Group predominantly made up of blacks into watering down a statement against racism the United States which itself pulled out of the human Rights Council asked its friends apparently to do a little arm twisting it looks like a back room arm twisting is going down the us which quit the human Rights Council has successfully enlisted the un missions of the u. K. France and australia to Work Together and undermine this important text the efforts of the us to board consular tension only highlights why such security is needed and how far there is still to go to dismantle the pernicious structures of institutionalized racism just one thing if George Floyds murder had happened in. Syria or in iraq it would have been a war crime i Police Officer knelt on a defenseless handcuffed mans neck as he slowly suffocated begging for his mother and all those american diplomats they would have been in the front ranks pretending to care screaming and frothing for justice only to deny that very same justice to anyone else. Morag as if there were we heard from some of the signature trees of the letter to the u. N. Calling for an investigation into the systemic racism in the us. Its basically an insult to the human Rights Council it basically put out in the process were already live in an area where. Values of human rights and and. Civil liberties are attacked and if there is a place where Human Rights Organization and it all. When i see institutional racism and Racial Discrimination and thats a human Rights Council and if if you cannot always your opinion really in that you are right now so without being affected and basically having to the bullying and the pressure of the United States government and other western governments just showed the. Level of mistrust. We are living when it comes to human rights. And the system of this it is a profound problem in the United States i would say even pavels from award to 2. 00 to 1. 00 if i decide it is shameful. On release the phrase this region was totally watered down to an empty gesture that does not even when you mention the United States was speaking in more general terms if the u. S. And its allies and diplomatic pressure was able to to to to money to something that was strong and. It mean that. There is more. To dream of and this needs a bit. On this. Distance. Now while my. Corporations are throwing their weight behind the call for equality it does seem that they are keeping quiet about their activities overseas Transnational Companies have plants in africa the caribbean and also asia where people receive less than their counterparts in developed countries however and he races campaigns do seem to overly overlook the big disparity in wages well have a look at this in more detail a bit later on in the program. Except those from high school have to return to class today for 2 weeks of lessons before their Summer Holidays any attendance in the past month has been purely voluntary the sudden decision though to make it mandatory has left school scrambling to get back on track and in line with new norms and regulations for more now lets go to school shes in paris for morning very good morning to you charlotte just tell us then how is this in france this latest ruling. Well theres been a mixed reaction it is of course 3 months since france went into lockdown originally schools were closed forcing some 10000000 students from schools of all ages and colleges to learn at home all their own or if they had access to computers the internet to try and through online classes with a very mixed success rate at that but from today all schools now meant to be reopening here in france after president mark warner announced that just we could go with only 2 weeks to go before the Summer Holiday break many are saying its pointless indeed so the schools will reopen theres going to be new regulations in terms of how they deal with the people so theres been a slight relaxation of the health laws to allow this to take places that have a look at some of the measures schools will now be putting in place trying to keep students safe for 19 well one. Things are going to do is theyre going to continue a limited contact between students between classes in regards to how far students have to be away from each other thats recommended to be one meta distance but that wont be put in place for the youngest children are new go to Nursery Schools if that one metre distancing isnt possible then he will be recommended that students and teachers continue to wear mosques in those classes now the government has called on parents to send their children back to school saying i have confidence in the system. Im calling on the parents to have confidence in the National Education institutions everything is being done for the children to attend safely. Some parents organizations have also been welcoming this were turning to the classroom saying its good for students to be able to have face to face contact they teaches to be able to mix with their peer groups also good for some parents who had a real tough time during the lockdown and since schools have been closed in trying to help their kids with their schoolwork in their classes particularly those who havent been able to access those online lessons that were available but some schools are actually out right defying the call by the government to reopen saying theyre not going to open their doors because they just cant put the precautions in place and they saying that they think the Health Concerns merit that their schools remain closed and some parents feel like that as well unions have also been hitting out of the plans as to teachers. Nobody asked our opinion there is no data whatsoever everything should have happened the other way you have to discuss it 1st with all the parties concerned before bringing it up to the government level its old regime when they hear such news from the press and not. From the authorities the reason obligation to return to school but there is no information on how the children will be protected the same goes for children whose parents. Want to give you a sense of how people are feeling here supposedly we returned to school one poll found that more than half of respondents. Thought that it was our idea and only around 45 percent of parents said that they were going to be sending their children back to school in fact as weve been here in the street this morning we have seen a steady trickle of Young Children being taken by their parents which i assume will be going back to the classroom today but really there is an overwhelming support that you might expect for the idea of children going back home with 2 weeks just before the summer break was about to take place many parents may have already taken their children on holiday so it remains to be seen how the classrooms will be. There for him as. Well nicholas gear from the Teachers Movement red pens also believes that there shouldnt be a rush to reopen school. Referring to a couple of 100 teachers who gave up as a sign of how a 1000000 french teachers feel this is completely outrageous regime encloses now is pointless by and large yes the minister is right every minute is important why then did he and his predecessors cancel so many classes and cut so many jobs and now in the midst of a pandemic he says every lesson is important so i believe that classes should be resumed in september this is planned to be done in many countries i dont think that collapse awaits them because of this i dont think that its only greece and spain will be doomed if they dont start classes in june. Now with the number of coronavirus cases in moscow here slowly falling the city has been easing activates lockdown from tomorrow one of the last stages will be lifted to allowing all restaurants to reopen along with james and swimming pools authorities there were still demanding that people wear masks and maintain social distance but with summer now in full swing in the city. Has been finding out how its playing out. Whats going on has come along i self isolation has now been officially cancelled so we are free to go where we want the shops get along over q have caught i havent made it yet even died out for us. But authorities have kept some rules in place mosques are recommended and alongside clubs a compulsory and in confined spaces lets not forget of course to keep our distance so i decided to test whether muscovites are playing by the rules or living footloose and mosque free lets go. 1st stop go to keith pop one of moscows biggest and most popular outdoor spaces it really has got everything a museum stating runts best of all restaurants an open ass cinema but like all city parks it will stop for over 2 months and people really missed it so as soon as the sun came out and the city reopened they loved it here now i heard a rumor that they were cracking whether visitors were wearing mosques and gloves but lets do some serious. Sit here at the very main gate there is a sign that clearly says this is the park police while a mosque is even a cute little diagram this want to process that we need to maintain social distance a very nice that wanted to help me says but its not actually being put into practice. Now im looking around and it doesnt look like thats any god who in fact that is a god but he doesnt seem to have that Anyone Around him is not in a mosque in fact i can see on one of the few maybe theyre just being particularly lax today because the weather is nice but either way its not great but since were here why did we speak to visit the park and see what they think about all these new rules. Theres little chance of getting in fact is on the streets if you keep your distance. By were one teaching market. No one is wearing here. Its not necessary on the street because the virus doesnt live in this environment its just. That we have masks and gloves get them out. Yes even now i stepped away from you when you approach which. One must have gone to but is because we spent a lot of time with other nations who had pneumonia since it all started. To be on the bottom of when you but somebody is b. S. You know no i dont believe in chronic virus at all. Ok so weve patrolled the park now when one of the citys hottest hangout spot schools the hold to obvious reasons and often youll see musical and dance performances taking place and in the summer its absolutely packed with people eating and drinking so its the pulse take place to test just how much social distancing is going on. And now the final stop on our patrol of moscow this area is called the pay child ponds and its really developed a reputation for being the capitals restaurant mecca warmest on the evenings these streets packed as they are tonight and while the waiters might be wearing clubs and mosques i can see that its not top on the list of priorities of the diet does now i try to really try to get someone anyone to speak to me but apparently how people i know set free to make her happy interviewee. Well thoughts on all speed safety check moscow and the conclusion that ive come to is that authorities can try all they like to keep people safe but at the end of the day its pretty hard to change human nature especially on a warm summers day off to months of big. Reporting from sunday the global stand against racism an investigation has been going. To doctors were accused of discriminating against the patients will have the details just after the break. We go to work you straight home. Seemed wrong. Wrong just dont. Get to shape our disdain become educated and indeed from an equal trail. When something find themselves worlds apart. She still look for common ground. Again with the growing voice of the black lives Matter Campaign in the us major corporations have been catered to show that they are also doing that bit but with the spotlight firmly fixed on inequality at home some firms will be hoping it doesnt swing further afield just in vegas explains. A problem thats been ignored and shunted aside for far too long is finally being addressed in the us major corporations are shelling out massive donations revamping their racially insensitive brands and also tripping over themselves to apologize but its comforting to think that maybe this is just the beginning even the idea of reparations for slavery is finally gaining traction now. So go and thats what i propose in this or our oath. To. Be reparations the California Assembly passed a proposal to establish a task force to study and prepare recommendations on giving reparations to africanamericans i know it had to be done now and you know it too lets not wait lets not do the study and decide whether we should be direct Cash Payments but it would need time you know what has to be done but perhaps we should be forced to ask the question how much of this is a saving politics and brand activism and how much of this is a real attempt to change a broken system and maybe even more importantly whos being left out at this point will this brand reparations being paid to caribbean countries as well for example it is not enough to say sorry we are not asking for anything is mendicant is handing out checks to people on street corners the issue of money is secondary but in this instance the
