Just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow sunday july 5th my names you know neal hello welcome. In the shadow of his president ial predecessors Rushmore Donald trump took aim at people wanting to terra dawn monuments in their dress on the eve of Independence Day he also decried the rise of quote far left fascism this years 4th of july celebrations come with the backdrop of weeks of racism protests and riots which have seen demonstrators seek to remove or destroy statues. Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out his. Defame our heroes a race of values and indoctrinate our children angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of Violent Crime in our cities a few hours before the address there was a standoff between the National Guard and protesters led by native american activist more than 100 block the road leading to the trump a fence riot police shot smoke shells up their feet sun use pepper spray and 115 protesters were arrested and the deadline set for them to leave us. So this year there are likely to be a few mixed emotions as americans mark their history perhaps means new questions over traditional symbols more on not from 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 thank you. Thank you. Over a 1000000 means even signed a petition to replace the flag with this version of americas most patriotic symbol of course it was. 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 of drill park you can see how its been vandalized with red paint in 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 you could see as forgetting about things that we dont want to forget about there may be statues and in different types of symbols that might need to be removed but if we leave it up to the looks 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 the confederacy some of them are just seeking to 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. Yeah very much happening for the 2nd night in 3 days police in portland in the state of oregon declared protests there to be a riot. The latest night saw violence break guard when a group of protesters set fire to some wood outside the Justice Center police say several people started fires threw rocks projectiles with sling shots of officers. Well the reputation of American Police has taken a major blow over the past month with calls to the fund or despond forces its hitting morale to a recent survey of officers find that a staggering 80 per cent would not encourage their children to enter a career in Law Enforcement in fact only 7 and a half percent said that they would some of the main reasons listed for that include a lack of support from bosses also an overall lack of respect for the profession and concerns right here at the bottom for officers see if he doubts increasingly what were hearing on the program were real louis is a retired Philadelphia Police captain who would recommend joining the police lets find out 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 theyve 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 or of 19 of my years in the belly of the beast in the ghetto sosa economically depressed black areas and that historically these people have seen and heard a Police Brutality be there at them their family their names weve heard their relatives that it was only theres been Police Brutality since day one but net and 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. Then a police officer. Lets move to england where police revelers an illegal block party clash just as the government began lifting some of the coronavirus lockdown restrictions at least 7 officers were injured and also authorities attempted to break up the old license music event a rave essentially in west london on friday night police had to make a run for it after crowds involving suspected gang members began pelting them with bricks on bottles gatherings in england are Still Limited to 6 people despite the latest easing of a lockdown out scene pubs and restaurants reopen indeed restaurants on cinemas and other Public Places were also allowed to open at midnight but bars had to wait a few hours out to about 6 am and indeed a few customers took advantage to get a boozy breakfast all the newly reopened businesses must that here are to the rules of mosques on physical distance which is which is from 2 metres to one metre plus Prime MinisterBoris Johnson encouraged people to start getting art to support the Hospitality Industry but to also be careful. Dr only succeeded in controlling the virus because everyone worked together. And we will only succeed in reopening if everyone works together again because were not out of the woods yet but i will certainly buy and drink a pint but not a yard and i really do need to repeat the message to everybody this is a big turning point for us weve got to get it right lets lets Work Together and enjoy some safety is at the right time to all 100 to look people early. You know there are certain areas you got to hold us to communities from as little. If not my concern. Also on the fact. That decision to open. Has been done on a saturday. Without any thought given to the Emergency Services to look. Out at. What could we not have tried to have a pilot one of the few of us to see how things were reacting with the already or welcoming both of the social distancing measures but looking 2nd fight has always been on the cards and the recent below it is that even with the best estimates we suspect that anything between 80 to 90 percent got pollution of the United Kingdom has not been exposed to cook that we cant just what were going to know. But ill go back to all of. This is normal but you know theres a big risk. Well lets stay with things coalwood because an area of spains castle only has been back under lockdown after a surge in cases authorities in south korea say that essential to keep over 200000 people at home just weeks after the nation actually began easing restrictions was a difficult one. I guess this will do as well as even the last hours in the day weve seen an exponential growth in the number of infections and thats prompted us to take action its a difficult decision the government must prioritize lives in the health of peoples and will take all the necessary measures. Salome has been one of the worst affected regions by covert with more than 12000. Being placed by color locked on saw new cases more than doubled in the past week some 200 Police Officers are being deployed to help enforce checkpoints locals say was expected. To be affected by the fact that i thought this is right because we have too many spikes too many infections and eventually they would have to close off the region and more will come it seems this is necessary because were seeing whats of cases this is a good decision spain in fact has europes 4th highest death toll from coronavirus 28000 and a quarter of a 1000000 confirmed cases to the move to reimpose restrictions in catalonia comes a spain has been reopening its borders and welcoming tourists for the Summer Holidays a spotless doctor we spoke to believes a selective strategy is needed but worries the tourism boom may lead to a bigger problem. Ensure i believe that given the current circumstances this is the only option going back to a talk with supplies the whole country is not going to go the other issues here is that the e. U. Countries have acted on their own since the start of the move the 27. 00 countries have opened. Except 2 americans brazil. The brits used to visit.

Americans are growing at propitious rates because america empire right because its easy for the top to be everything and leave nothing for everyone else america will be better off if it was not an empire so the collapse of the us dollar will be thankful for a period of time but what comes on the other side will be i think a lot more amenable to know.

There is a sense of deja vu for those heading the like button facebook submitted letting 3rd Party Developers improperly access users personal data again the company has repeatedly promised to clean up its act but thousands of ops have continued gathering users to enter long after those people stop using them checking booga looks into why the social media giant are partly is not learning from 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 it been a privacy breach 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 now said we would audit if our systems didnt recognize a 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 today after we found it that was also mentioned multiple times in the blog post that users did 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 and 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.
