Africanamericans in this country. Is that pleaded with them to bring forward the measure of. Cases in. Deployed in israel where the publics frustrated with the governments response to the. Corruption scandal involving the part of. You watching r. T. And. Lets begin this hour in the u. S. City of portland which is seen protesters against Police Brutality and racial inequality setting fire to the Police Association building Donald Trumps accuse local authorities of failing to contain the unrest portlands merrin turn to slam the president s decision to deploy federal agents in the city. Looks at the Bigger Picture surrounding the recent escalation. For 50 nights protests and riots have raged in the city of portland what began as a stand against racism is morphing into Something Else into wellness the scale version of the civil war except this time it isnt their north against the south these top its the right versus the left. And for a certain someone currently in the white house added keen to stay there that could play right into his allegedly small hands over the past decade american president s have fancied military jools wars to drum up support for reelection bush with iraq a bomber with libya but trump current caddy he campaigned promising to end foreign wars foreign wars so why not imitate one of whom wealth or terry in governments not democratic republic send unmocked of thirtys off to protest his these trumped ban tactics designed to eliminate any accountability absolutely unacceptable in america and must stand the senator had a point this is like something out of iraq that again trump did threaten to use the military to stamp out these protests hes already used the national god. Trump has an election to win and Trumps Campaign plan doesnt seem to involve getting in his knees he will be hot he will be hosh thats what his vote is expect and the authorities in portland fear that trump has begun an invasion this is an attack on our democracy President Trump has used our city as a staging ground to further his political agenda igniting his base to cause further divisiveness lets be clear this is not political theater this is far more dangerous than not we have federal officers on our streets further escalating tensions and causing harm to portlanders right now dog trump the president of the sec i mean the right has an exact he kept his plans a secret his speech had now and rushmore the one with military jets flying overhead that was almost a textbook declaration of war there is a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance if you do not speak its language perform its rituals reset its mantras and follow its commandments then you will be censored banished blacklists persecuted and punished its not going to happen to us. And as with any war you need a main bad guy so saddams dead gadhafi is gone bin ladens been well killed so what about that other fella what does they do biden you wont be safe joe buds America Joe Biden would be nothing more than an autopen president. A trojan horse for a radical agenda. So radical so all encompassing that it would transform this country. Into something utterly unrecognizable it is ironic isnt it that the country that prides itself on being the freest in the world the only country with absolute free speech they tell us all day every day how those same people cant stand free speech when its coming from someone they dont like both the right and the left are guilty of this theres no new give no understanding no compromise in either of them its either their way or go to hell or democratic bear in the us city of providence has from us that he will seek to right the wrongs of the past the reparations process for minority communities thank you but. When there says that the process is a major step forwards it will see meetings held over storage contentious issues and the review of laws perceived to discriminate against black and indigenous communities but not everyone is in favor while acknowledging that the liberal left agenda has failed black in minority communities in contemporary times by forcing their children to attend failed schools and by enacting policies that make it easy to become dependent on the government it would be an unprecedented and immoral act of government to seek reparations for the horrible wrongs that were committed generations ago reparations were also approved in the u. S. City of asheville where money will be invested into poor black communities the authorities in both cities say that initiatives are just the beginning of wider changes. A lot of folks are going to jump straight to the reparations question how much what form for how long whos eligible those are all legitimate questions but theyre questions for another day and there are questions that will be answered through the process its important to go step by step with this resolution is the 1st year in that it names that their list of. The. Weighted against the black community and it is very gay we discuss the control of the surrounding the reparations process with resurfacing author and political analyst and Anthony Brown logan a political and social issues commentator. Just kind of the same thing they always do during elections or any other time or some kind of so far and raised away from this is over going to do a study were going to figure it out i mean how is he not figured out yet slavery ended 865 to 02020 what are we really going to study what are really going to try to figure out is trying to calculate i mean you should know about now never has the government ever taken one step towards understanding and calculating and studying the effects and the impact of slavery on africanamerican people now it allows people like a. B. L. To come in and make statements oh its not necessary oh theres no need for this or even to do it right now whos going to pay for our you can pay for a reason to your own tax money how about me out of my own tax money because the government only makes money from us when there needed to be a 1200. 00 stimulus checks and out no one was saying oh well that comes from the taxpayer thats a refund we shouldnt do that now and so why is it that they could find money to come up with to pay 12. 00 trillions of dollars to come up with a payment for people who need food when they and they couldnt come up with the same amount of money to restore africanamericans in this country who they actually affirmatively took actions to harm thats ridiculous to me so i appreciate why who is they who is right now be more then who is they does need to be more than lip service and right now lance asheville city is doing a resolution but heres the issue asheville needs to do more than a resolution they need to come up with an actual dollar figure how much they wont black people were harmed by their actual city who knows how much money going to need up because all bob johnson the former owner of the 14000000. 00 i mean where is it going to come from the value is money was bad enough hes talking about 6 to again and the reason why that was given to reeses point is because the government say that we came out work and we can now go on here and make money the actual you know. Mechanism upon which the money will be delivered who do see is not going to be defined nor will it ever be because all theyve ever done for to pay a 100. 00 or so years is say we promise you do this we promise you day with no promises ever deliver you cant provide reparations by definition until you know what you need to repair there needs to be an assessment of what has been done what black people have suffered specifically and so thats why its not the solution it needs to be but we and we dont want organizations to keep our or our communities to start slapping reparations on top of every Community Redevelopment effort and calling it reparations if its not if it was going to happen it should have been. Identified as slave master in a slave fair transaction and now 2020 it would be me pain it would be respond it makes no sense that oh. Wearing a face mask is now obligatory in all enclosed public spaces in france masks were previously only compulsory on public transport and in some shops the rule came into force today initially it was to be introduced only in august but french doctors urged the government to bring it in earlier lets go live now to our correspondents in Charlotte Dubin ski joins us now good morning charlotte explain to us and all the details of these new measures. Well this means that from day wearing a mask inside enclosed spaces will be mandated that means that you will have to do it before now it was mandated to wear masks as you mentioned on public transport or even in shops where they had asked customers to do that now it means if youre over the age of 11 you will have to wear a mask present macron mentioned this in his july 14th is bastille day dress but he said that this was going to start in august now after that there was an outcry from doctors who said why not bring this in suger that combined with the fact that theres been an uptake in the transmission rate of 1000 in parts of france over the last 3 weeks is meant that the Prime Minister announced that monday would be the day means that anyone who is not following the new regulations will face a fine of 135. Starting this monday Wearing Masks will be mandatory in enclosed places as announced by Prime Minister john kass sticks this includes shops public buildings covered markets banks protective measures and testing remain essential in tackling the virus effectively. Well whats really interesting is just a few months ago the french government was saying that masks were not essential in the fight against the transmission of that 19 this is at a point when france didnt have mass to go to and they were saying only needed to wear a mask if you were somebody who had been 19 or you were a Health Care Professional and dealing with people but now its deemed that wearing a mask is in this central tool in the fight against transmission of course france has plenty of masks at the moment but some newspapers have been talking about the cost here of wearing a mask and wearing them every day one calculate the cost for a family of 4. 00 individuals who are both the children being over the age of 11 it was saying if you buy masks that you can walk again this would be a cost of around 96 euros a month but if you decided to wear the single use masks that you discard after every use that would cost a family more like 228. 00 euros so quite a lot of money every month to find where those masks however this ruling has been welcomed by many. Sit down you dont feel one lately ive been noticing a lot of people coming in without masks i dont want to be rude but the either stay outside or they come in and i put their glasses on and they go away but i dont actually get close at all so for me the mask is very important and its very good and this is necessary for it should be put on what we protect others and we protect ourselves and then there you are its an effort that we all have to make so we do it. On a. Feeling sometimes it has gone back to the weird was before people have kind of forgotten about it weve put in place a lot of procedures but its true that on the beach people feel much more at ease than in a restaurant. But just like everywhere else not everyone is happy about this new regulation some people have been complaining that wearing a mask means its quite difficult to communicate you cant see friendly gestures from people and the reality is that sometimes when somebodys speaking with a mask on they do sound a little bit muffled now public transport here in france its already been compulsory to wear the mask for many many weeks with the risk of fine already there but despite that despite the fact that there have been security agents going through the metro stations and train stations and handing out fines many people have not been wearing a mask on public transport and theres even been a really dramatic turn here for the worse in france a very deadly issue just in the last week or so down in the south of france in your was attacked by passengers who he apparently confronted because of their refusal to wear a mask he was attacked and he later died of his injuries its a very emotive subject not just here in france but in other countries too but it seems the issue of wearing a mask or not wearing a mask will remain divisive because charlotte our correspondent reporting live from paris. Speaking globally when lock down restrictions were imposed because of coronavirus many people found themselves stranded in a country away from home with flights and trains council must didnt stop one determined greek student from finding a route back. I remember i told my dad when we were talking about the floods and how i was going to get home and he said as a joke you know and i said you know ive been considering ive been considering coming but by and he said do it and i said no im serious if you if you support me and if you help but ill do it and he says well ok lets look into it. Especially at the start. I was not very optimistic and even though the word time is right i thought you know what this isnt so difficult. Most of my day was filled with stress and with glory and the only thing that i have to hold on to was ill let me just finish this one day and one more day thats all and then 2 more i can feel i dont care im just going to finish this one day and then from there on i see it and day by day i kept doing that thats what thats what kept me going even though i did not say it was going to finish the trip. Even though it was very difficult looking back on it i would 100 percent do it i do it with the knowledge i have and i think its going to be even more fun. And next time i do it ill do it with the friends so i can share the whole experience of the trip.
