Hello thanks for watching r. T. Of the weekend with me kevin o. In im here with 30 minutes of the latest from world news h. Q. Here in moscow 1st as mentioned overlooked by its president ial predecessors its Mount Rushmore donald trump took aim at people wanting to tear down monuments in an address on the eve of Independence Day this years 4th of july celebrations come them with the backdrop of course of weeks of anti racism protests which is seeing demonstrators seek to remove or destroy statues linked to slavery along with symbols of the civil war confederacy which are indelibly linked to that era. Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history defame our heroes a race of their use and indoctrinate our children angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders to face our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of Violent Crime in our cities a few hours before that address those a standoff between the National Guard and protesters led by native american activists more than 100 block the road leading to the trauma vent but police shot smoke shells at their feet and used pepper spray around 15 protesters were arrested as the deadline set for them to leave past. So this year theres likely to be a few mixed emotions as americans mark their history and it perhaps means new questions over traditional symbols more than from donald quarter. The 4th of july is a time for barbecues fireworks and of course the American Flag a time when americans are exceptionally proud to be well american and for decades leaders have used the occasion to proclaim that their part of the greatest country around america is the greatest country in human history. That america is the greatest country on the face of the earth but this year people apparently are not buying it recent polls suggest only 17 percent of americans can confidently say that theyre proud of the current state of their homeland and who can blame them this years 4th of july falls on a day when economic recession a Global Pandemic and nationwide protests against institutionalized racism all plague the country the us desperately Needs Solutions and the people desperately need a holiday but for some criticizing july 4th symbols of patriotism seems to be on the top of the agenda. Many are calling to switch the National Anthem from the starspangled banner to america the beautiful supporters of the change say that the current anthem is racist since its composer own slaves and some of its original lyrics were no doubt outrageously bigoted but most americans rarely ever made that association in the 1st place. Flying the flag on Independence Day has been as american as apple pie for as long as memory serves but this summer the stars and stripes are feeling the heat. For just. Over a 1000000 means even signed a petition to replace the flag with this version of americas most patriotic symbol of course it was slow. Likely not intended to be taken seriously but the sentiment remains. The Founding Fathers another icon americans can easily identify with they declared that all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights but in 2020 many have been more concerned with their slave owning past and the statues built in their name have come under assault because of it washington parks the monument to its namesake is just the latest in the city to get painted over there in baltimore at the George Washington memorial and statue adriel park you can see how its been burned allies with red paint on the words destroyed races another statue in portland has been taken down by protesters this time George Washington video and social media also shows them lighting it on fire americas latest on rest against Police Brutality is not the 1st time weve seen how a countrys past can influence the president in a negative way but will attacking National Symbols that serve to unite americans on Independence Day fix those problems or will they serve to further divide a nation that seems to be ripping apart at the seams it very well could end up being dangerous i mean we could see us going back to things that we dont want to go back to it could see us forgetting about things that we dont want to forget about there may be statues and and different types of symbols that might need to be removed but if we leave it up to the looks of it will go basically it will go crazy i mean because weve got people on the left who are trying to tear down Abraham Lincoln and other members of the union so its not just a confederacy some of them are just seeking to to cause damage and destruction our nation has been very divided over the past 3 or 4 or 5 years or so its been a lot of those that are next its been a lot of the fringes fighting in the loudest on each side you know story so it has caused a divide and i think it will take some time to get back to a sense of normalcy and to mend the rift thats been. Meantime for the 2nd night in 3 days place in portland in the state of oregon have declared protests there to be a riot. Right oh ya. Latest how dreamy peaceful through the night until a group of protesters set fire to some wood outside the Justice Center police say several people started fires threw rocks and launched projectiles with sling shots at the offices. Talking of which the reputation of American Police has taken a major blow over the past month with calls to defund or disband forces and its hitting the role too amongst them a recent survey of officers has found that a staggering 80 percent would not encourage their children to enter a career in Law Enforcement only 7. 5 percent said they would some of the main reasons listed for that included lack of support from bosses an overall lack of respect for the profession and concerns for officer safety all that said though ray lewis is a retired from the delphia Police Captain he says he would recommend joining the police now and this is why. Officers that are not encouraging young people to go into Law Enforcement are those officers who are afraid of accountability. They fear being held to the high standards of the job and so far theyve had free reign and been able to do what they want when they want and now thats and it right there is no respect and there should not be until its earned ice there are 19 of my years in the belly of the beast in the ghetto socio economically depressed black areas and that historically these people have seen and heard a Police Brutality be there in them their family their name we heard their relative that it was only their spend Police Brutality since day one but now i am now what i consider one of the greatest inventions ever is the video cell from White America is waking up because now all that they heard all their life is being contradicted by what they see i would absolutely encourage anybody to join the police force because its a changing police force now the new police force forces are going to be held much more accountable to be responsible to their communities and there is no more rewarding job then a police officer. Nigeria says its sad and the 2 sculptures it says belongs to the countrys Igbo Community have been optioned off in paris the country maintaining it was stolen during the 1960 civil war but the ocean house christies insists no the sale of this week they say was legitimate.

Where the european. Well went in for there and pretty much what christies was saying is that it was not european dealers all the objects from the original owners are there theyre free to sober you know their words its all ok to sell the west a little by someone else this is basically what theyre clearing and i think that is rum i dont think that that can be sourced in any legal proceeding. Chinese media is zeroing in on washingtons top diplomat for fanning tensions between china and india secretary of state might pompei or lauded india than for banning chinese mobile apps amid a simmering territorial row which reached a deadly pictures last month. We welcome indias ban on certain mobile apps that can serve as an appendage of the c. C. P. Surveillance state indias clean apple approach will boost indias sovereignty. Will also boost indias integrity and National Security as the Indian Government cell itself has stated acting like a cheerleader the u. S. Is guaranteed india with no Real Investment but inspiring lip service it will not benefit indias development if the country is captivated by empty talk anyone with the signing eyes can easily tell what pompei or who keep spreading lies and misleading the public intended to do was nothing but grab every possible chance to fan the flames of hatred against china. From payors remarks came after india banned citing National Security concerns tensions between the 2 countries reached a real head last month when 20 indian soldiers were killed in a brutal clash with chinese troops in disputed border territory theres also anger in india too over claims that china is flooding the country with cheap imports something the government describes as unfair competition so having faced strong pressure over how to respond to what india sees as chinese incursions indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi paid tribute to those killed soldiers during a surprise visit to the disputed area but china is warning its neighbor against making a strategic miscalculation and for the 2 to Work Together for the sake of stability trannies International Relations expert vic to go tell us washington is exploiting these heightened tensions. And are right now has a border problem with india thats a fact but other countries especially the United States army superpower militarily speaking the world should avoid getting involved should avoid to picking one side against the other the United States seems to be very delighted for the tension existed between china and india and even seems to be very eager to see the tensions further escalate it will be a very misguided strategy for the United States to provoke a higher level of tension between china and india china and india share a border of more than 3000 kilometers and both china and india need to stand very 1st 7 for peace and stability rather then he pulled into a war against each other you want to go to international the we can see a time if you look at the clocks exactly 40 minutes past the hour now coming out of the brics it will italy be next out of the door is the big question public anger of feeling abandoned by brussels during the height of the. Pandemic is called anti e. U. Sentiment to grow well its among our stories ahead this saturday. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only. Exists i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Again facebooks admitted letting 3rd Party Developers improperly access users personal data again the companies repeatedly promise to clean up it sags but thousands of ups have continued nonetheless gathering uses data long after they stopped using them jacqueline looks into why the social media giant isnt learning from its past mistakes. Facebook might want to go ahead and make their motto sorry about that just to save us all some time itll come as a surprise to no one but theres once again that been a privacy breach of the book this time its nothing earth shattering but the company does estimate around 5000. 00 developers were able to gather information on users long after they were meant to in 2018 we announced it would automatically expire and apps ability to receive any updates to this information if our systems didnt recognize the person as having used the app within the last 90 days the recently we discovered that in some instances apps continue to receive the data we fix the issue to day after we found it that was also mentioned multiple times in the blog post that users didnt initially give permission for their info to be collected so its not only the companys fault that they didnt cut it off like they promised right i mean you do have to get facebook credit for trying to be more proactive about these issues but how many more apologies are people meant to accept this was a major breach of trust we didnt take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake it was my mistake and im sorry and im sorry for it but im sorry and im really sorry that this happened apparently sorry doesnt seem to be the hardest work plus there were these ads bought in major u. S. And u. K. Newspapers that said things like we have a responsibility to protect your information if we cant we dont deserve it the irony about that was all among the cambridge analytical scandal when there was an estimated 50000000 users that had their information that were it up for profit now after that about a year later as dr bird tried to turn things around by announcing his vision for a privacy focused social media experience i believe we should be working towards a world where people can speak privately and live freely knowing that their information will only be seen by who they want to see it and wont all stick around for ever. If we can help move the world in this direction i will be proud of the difference we have me and yet the issues keep on coming which means trust will keep on falling and what is not a question of 3rd Party Advertisers or developers then its an issue of features that the company itself made and has to apologize for really messed this one up somehow we missed this point with news feed in many feet and we didnt build in the proper privacy controls right away this was a big mistake when our part and im sort of for it. We have made a lot of mistakes building this feature but we have made even more with how we have handled them we simply did a bad job with this release and i apologize for it broken record much and yet the list goes on and on and on this article actually breaks it all down from the very beginning before the company was even called facebook and yet here we are again but really what else can you expect from a company that works on an advertising based Business Model meaning those Companies Need your private information in order to properly target you and theyre willing to pay for that and honestly do we really get to be mad anymore for me once shame on you fool me every other week well at least some things in life are predictable. Indeed meantime fellow internet giant google has got its own privacy battle of its hands its now on a 2000000000. 00 mission to buy the fitness tracker device make a fitbit the deals called the attention of european regulators and Privacy Campaign is because fitbit needs access to a lot of free personal data to work properly like sleep rates and every day physical activity consumer groups food google could though try to monetize that most private of information. Regulators must assume that google will in practice utilize the entirety of food business currently independent unique highly Sensitive Data set in combination with a cell phone but equally is this could increase its profits google insists it would not use any health data to target advertisement source to 3rd parties it also promises to be transparent about what type of personal information is collected and for what purpose Privacy Campaigner and Technology Expert bill me though isnt a sure. Were now seeing a further acquisition this time by google of bits and where is facebook argued that it wasnt all about the data it was purely about the other networks and trying to create synergy between them and in the same way google is saying its not about the data or its about the devices its seeking to integrate into its ecosystem both organizations arent actually being entirely truthful it is about the dates both organizations have a Business Model that is all about data what were seeing is a lesson less trust of all sites each time that facebook and google and others make further mistakes and make slow the promises tha
