By their very good afternoon this is r. T. And to that. The u. S. Secretary of state has accused the u. N. Human Rights Council of hypocrisy to release the resolution drawn up in the wake of the killing of george floyd almost a month ago. Pointed the finger and also it china and iran where he thinks that Racial Disparities are truly systemic however the u. N. Document itself 1st also being criticised by activist groups for being too mild because the explains. When the entire world gets these agri this few areas something must be done Rights Groups and Civil Society have mobilized armies of activists and lawyers to make sure that it does its now or never he is 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 Group 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 down there could have been me i hear. You i met your man in may says are your brother the 1st escape on air america and you have the power to help were get this from. The u. N. Human Rights Council hears that 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 and 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 fraud 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 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. And we heard from hussein one of the signatories of the letter to the u. N. Calling for an investigation into systemic racism in the United States its basically an insult to the human Rights Council it basically put in the process were already live in an era where. There are use of human rights and. Civil liberties are attacked and there is a place where Human Rights Organization and it all when i see institutional racism and Racial Discrimination and its a human Rights Council and if you can out all your opinion really going in that you are a cancer without been and basically caving 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. Or major corporations are throwing their weight behind the call for equality doesnt seem that they keeping the scene i should say that they are keeping quiet about their overseas activities Transnational Companies have plants in africa the caribbean and asia where people get less than their counterparts in developed countries but antiracist campaign seem to overlook the big disparity in wages well have a look at this in more detail coming up later. But before that all french peoples except for 6th formers have to return to class. Day for 2 weeks of lessons prior to the Summer Holidays and the attendance in the past month has been purely voluntary the sudden decision to make it mandatory it left school scrambling to get back on track and in line with new norms and regulations with details from paris. It is of course 3 months since france went into lockdown originally schools were closed forcing some 10000000. 00 students from schools of all ages and colleges to either at home all their own or if they had access to computers and the internet to try and through online classes with a very mixed success rate at that from today schools now all meant to be reopening here in france after president might born and those that just a week could go 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 all of the health laws to allow this to take place assess have a look at some of the measures schools will now be putting in place trying to keep students safe for 19 wouldnt things are going to do is theyre going to continue a limited contact between students between classes in regards to how 4 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 such a new go to Nursery Schools if that one meter 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 with some parents organizations have also been welcoming this will turn into 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 group is 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. Havent been able to access those online lessons 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 want to put the precautions in place and some parents feel like that as well unions have also been hitting out the plans as to teachers nobody asked our opinion there is no doubt 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 you 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 are at risk 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 some 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 the idea of children going back to 2 weeks just before the summer break face many parents may have already taken their Children Holiday so it remains to be seen how the classrooms will be. From the Teachers Movement read pones also believes that there shouldnt be a rush to reopen schools. Referring to a couple of 100 teachers who gave up as a sign of how a 1000000 french teachers feel is completely outrageous resuming courses now is pointless by and large yes the minister is right every minute is important but why they did he and his predecessors cancel so many courses 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 a league race and spain will be doomed if they dont start classes in june. But the number of coronavirus cases in moscow slowly fall in the citys been easing its way out of long down tomorrow one of the final stages will be lifted allowing all restaurants to reopen along with gyms and swimming pools but the authorities are still demanding people wear masks to maintain social distance however with some an awful and swing in full swing in the city it seems that a lot of people are finding it difficult to stick to the rules so has been taking a closer look. Moscow has come alive so 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 at eventide alfresco. But so far to have kept some rules in place mosques are recommended on alongside clubs a compulsory and in confined spaces and lets not forget of course to keep our distance so i decided to test whether muscovite are playing by the rules or living footloose unmask free lets go. 1st stop go to keep 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 was shopped 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 kicking whether visitors were Wearing Masks and gloves but lets do some sleuthing. See here at the very main gate there is a sign that clearly says this is the park police wow a mosque theres even a cute little diagram now this want to process that we need to maintain a social distance a letter thats the want 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 care 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 you speak to visit the park and see what they think about all these new rules theres little chance of getting them saturday on the street if you keep your distance you are most high were one its a month book why arent you wearing it now no one is wearing here you know its not necessary on the street because the virus doesnt live in this environment because we have masks and gloves get them out. To maintain social distance yes even now i stepped away from you when you approached which im close to these things too we must have gone to bars because we spent a lot of time with patients who had pneumonia since it all started back in october. On you fraid of being infected with. I dont believe in chronic virus at all. Ok so weve patrolled the park now when one of the citys hottest hangout spots its cool to 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 all 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 are 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 dinahs now i tried i really tried to get someone anyone to speak to me but apparently how he died in a set free to make that happen the interviewee. While thoughts on all speed safety check of 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 dr. From its a global stand against racism and investigations with canada to doctors that were accused of discriminating against indigenous patients we bring you the full story after this break. Join me every thursday on the daleks so im unsure and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or business im sure business ill see you then. Welcome back with the growing voice of the black lives Matter Campaign in the u. S. Major corporations have been keen to show they are doing that bit but with the spotlight firmly fixed on equality at home some firms will be hoping it doesnt swing further afield i think has more. 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 doing this or really and 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 has to be done now and you know it too lets not wait lets not do the study of the siva who 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 staving 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 reparations being paid to caribbean countries as well for example it is not enough to say sorry were 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 moral discharge of ones jussi does require in a market economy that you contribute towards development and what about the exploitation taking place in africa right now dont worry apples on it things must change and apples committed to being a force for that change today im proud to announce apples Racial Equity and Justice Initiative with a 100000000 dollar commitment things for the equivalent of your spare change tedham but lets not forget that your company is one of a number accused of benefiting from child labor in the democratic republic of congo. To standards. Apple alpha that dell microsoft and tazz law are knowingly benefiting from and aiding and abetting the cruel and brutal use of Young Children in the democratic republic of congo to mine cobalt a key component of every rechargeable lithium ion battery use
