Its falling the flames are being seen. The only thing that it does gives people of color and the. Color of life. In the here. In moscow my names you know me and youre welcome to our new. British Prime Minister claims a 2nd wave is not inevitable in the u. K. Could mean another National Lockdown on the way the announcement brought protesters into Central London where they made their feelings clear about any new restrictions. Was it was the demonstration took place this spied a ban on large social gatherings so strong issues with police were soon with activists forming human barricades to prevent officers from making arrests i mean all elsewhere in Europe Countries are witnessing record infection rates spain is currently the worst affected its reimposing a partial lockdown in madrid from. That news was greeted with fury on friday with hundreds demanding the resignation of the regional chief he certainly looks now at how european nations are trying to cope. I thought Health Organizations latest Coronavirus Claims make for grim reading it reports that weekly cases across europe now higher than during the pandemic speak this is them the case numbers however should serve as a rake up call for all of us. Old all these numbers reflect more comprehensive testing it also shows a lot of ingrates oftens mission across the region fear of him center for disease prevention and control agrees that while more testing played a part in these high figures its not the only reason why the increased testing contributes to better awareness of all ongoing transmission it is not the only reason for the increase of covert 1000. 00 cases which is also linked to the relaxation of physical distancing and other preventive measures while e. U. Nations mol the prospects of reintroducing tough new measures here in the u. K. Localised frictions have been put in place in different regions of the country meaning more than 10000000 brits are now effectively in a new form of lock down the north east of england is the latest to have restrictions 300 residents should not socialize with other people outside their own households will support bubble. Hospitality for food and drink would be restricted to Table Service only and late night restrictions of operating hours will be introduced so leisure and Entertainment Venues must close between 10 pm and 5 am how we can tell our system is a joke the whites were keen to get everything they got but i spoke with the inside much but they do read that you know that everyones under strain right now because of the crisis but there should be more support. But in the communities because a lot of people really are struggling i love the time able to come out of their houses to get test prep money switching to government you need to be well organized and you need to provide more Testing Centers would have done it was taken up the going out you shouldnt popping up on the wall the u. K. Government has spent the last couple of months focusing on more localized measures reports of consistently been looking at a nationwide law could be reinforced once more Britains Health secretary hadnt done anything to back away those rumors the last line of defense is full National Action and i dont want to see that but we will do whatever is necessary to keep people safe in a very difficult pandemic across the channel france has broken its own record for cases in one day with over 10 and a half 1000 rights up in a single 24 hour period and the countrys Prime Minister has been criticised in some courses for suggesting that everyone would just have to learn to live with the virus hes also now being sued by covert survivors and relatives of the victims for the way the government handled the crisis what is striking since his arrival is that there is no strategy whatsoever in fighting the pandemic this country is being managed not governed. Meanwhile in spain another european country devastated in the 1st wave lockdowns are on their way back in madrid the World Health Organization has said that different nations can have different approaches depending on their own unique circumstances but one thing must remain consistent and thats the quarantine period lost in 14 days knowing the immense individual and so cycle impact even a slight reduction in the link of current time can have and giving to figures i have just mentioned the concept of cut and dying must be protected initially adept its not a fight and communicate it dont any ambiguity to the people a month ago the prospect of 2nd lockdown seemed only a remote possibility but today its looking like a question of when and not if countries bring them back shuttering already suffering businesses and inflicting more social and economic pain on people already worn down by restrictions on the lives. Of the. Us democrats and republicans are currently battling over who will get the keys to the white house come november and now the parties are also set to lock horns over the Supreme Court thats after the death was announced of judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the age of 87. 00 Ruth Ginsburg being the oldest sitting judge on the Supreme Court serve there since 1903 she was only the 2nd ever woman to be appointed to americas highest court and is regarded as a liberal feminist icon a Supreme Court judges can set for life or until they choose to retire it has many speculating President Trump will hurry through her replacement while hes still in power and nominate a more conservative minded count it. We will put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United StatesSupreme Court justice. Is we have this obligation without delay president charms nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United StatesSenate Voters should pick the president and the president should pick just those 4 to consider 4 and a half years ago republicans invented the principle that the senate shouldnt feel an open seat on the Supreme Court before a new president was sworn in a basic principle of the law is that we apply rules with consistency and not based on whats convenient or advantages and the moment. In 2016 barack obama was blocked from appointing a new judge by the senate 9 months before the election back then it was just a 5 by the fact he was the outgoing democratic president but perhaps more pertinently both houses of congress were held at the time by the Republican Party well lets discuss this live now with political analyst abrams max always good to have you on the program legally the troubled ministration has the right to appoint a Supreme Court judge but morally considering Ruth Ginsburg was to the left of things and obama was blocked do you think trump should go ahead with it. I dont actually think its a moral question at all in terms of trumps powers not not his rights but its powers he does have the power to nominate somebody to replace ginsburg and that it will be voted upon by the senate and it just needs a simple majority for that to go through so theres no question according to the constitution that he has the power there is some question procedurally about whether he can act quick enough to get in appointment through in such a short period of time and then there are questions about politics is it worth it to do so it appears that the democrats are very fired up about this and if you were to go ahead there are all sorts of retaliatory steps that the democrats could take it especially if biden were to win in the senate were to be a democratic stronghold then by then working with the senate could enact a series of changes which would be disadvantageous to the Republican Party for example book washington d. C. In puerto rico could be made states and so they tend to lean democrat and so that would give the legislature more a more sort of Democratic Power theres also talk about socalled packing the courts expanding the number of Supreme Court justices and again if i did were were going to be a Democratic Senate then you could have to read new justices which would make the core lean more liberal so i think that there are political questions but im not sure that there are more ones does this even go beyond politics because there are threats from left wingers to hit the streets on mosques if donald trump appoints a new judge do you see that happening and you can add the 2 black lives matter at the pun demick Extinction Rebellion how big a crisis does america have a right not. I think that its very likely that of trump goes ahead and tries to nominee somebody during his term and i believe that he will he has said that he will i believe that there will be more protests and frankly more violent ones theres a slight ghost right now around the world especially in the United States for protests and weve seen over the past several months especially with respect to black. But its not unique just to this ideology there is widespread disagreement in the United States across ideologies both on the left in the run and i expect to see even more of that as the election approaches particularly now that you have this judicial hickam. Do you think. Realistically theres enough time to appoint a replacement youve got the election in november and then the an organization ingenue the be some dead time there but it doesnt have to be done by november or kind of stretch on further than the. Well thats right theres an election in november but the actual president doesnt come into power until late january and thats called the lame duck period and its possible that the republicans will be working over that time to secure their new justice i think that procedurally there probably isnt enough time but it would be the fastest ever dump truck could very soon select his nominee and Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Majority leader has said that there will be a vote rather more of the democrats dont really have that many tools at their disposal to delay this sort of book so i do think its possible but it will be unprecedented and it will be torturous but it is a fascinating time as well the see how this all pans out max thanks for helping us make some sense of it all political analysts mux abrams. Are. The clock is ticking on the hugely Popular Social Media Networks we. Talk they are being told from us up stories from sunday night on washingtons orders the dramatic moves prompted beijing to la shard china urges the u. S. To abandon bullying cease its room full actions and earnestly maintain fair and Transparent International rules and order if the u. S.

S. Operations walmarts also entered negotiations it all hinges knowing whether the Chinese Government will actually allow the tech talk to sell its core algorithm to the american side President Trump has said he expects the resolutions. Quickly we have Great Companies talking to us about if you know about oracle you know microsoft has been involved lets see whether or not theyre continuing to be involved walmart is truly a Great Company theyre very much if they want to do something so we have some great options and if we can keep a lot of people happy but have the security that we need we have to have the total security from china there is no telling whats wrong with you in the balls the.

A quarter of an hour into the Program Still ahead donald trump has College Professors in his sights accusing them of robbing kelli zink and half the wing protesters were not 90 seconds until. Legs. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports im sure. Ill see you then. Claimed the recent scene on u. S. Streets is partly because students are being indoctrinated in hard left ideology. Critical race theory. The 1619 project and the crusade against American History as toxic propaganda the left wing writing and many other direct result of decades of left wing and nation in our school. The subjects mentioned by mr trump are rooted in radical socialist thing going to be examined societys primarily through the lens of race identity and power supporters say its about righting the wrongs of the past we put the issue up for debate to see if thats really the case. We do want people to be judged by the content of their character but this idea of colorblind list is inherently racist and im a black man and that is what people are going to see in this is sighted person foremost so i dont want to be judged just because i am black and this whole idea of Critical Race Theory the only thing that it does is it gives people of color an excuse to try to not try hard and we have things like affirmative action in the talk about White Privilege when theres 15000000 white People Living in america right now below the poverty line thats almost double the 8000000 black people that are living below the poverty line so you go talk to the old white people about their White Privilege and surely this country was stolen from Indigenous People through brutal land theft and genocide from a lands of White Supremacy and it was built off of the backs of stolen people from africa including forced rape and to come to tea of African Women to create more property for white men nothing that happened you know what anthony is referring to that happened hundreds of years ago is not applicable today we have a constitution that applies to a couple eyes to every man woman and child today would regard less of sex race creed religion jaffery bodies protected with the same rights under the constitution in fact people of color get special deference because of programs like affirmative action listen youre going to pass and the im a hispanic american and i. I dont have these issues and i dont believe that im being that i need to fight for liberation and im a free man can you tell me which amendment gives black running Indigenous People special treatment in the constitution if youre going to reference this document back it up with facts otherwise theres been a lot of things even trump is done it trump putting. My hand out hes owned the whole predominately black and hispanic neighborhood to get special tax breaks that the middle of the country doesnt get you know you dont you dont know whats going on and youre misrepresenting history and youre youre living in the past youre literally living in the today anthony i have no problem with people who are actually trained and skilled in racism to train people in being racist because we know there is no such thing as not reason youre either racist or youre into races people who say that all lives matter are racist and try to pull one group above the other that the deaf in the definition the appeared to me of what racism actually is. Government protesters continue to vent their anger over august disputed election rallies have now been going on for 6 weeks on saturday protesters mostly female gathered and minutes in london president took a shine to stepped on Police Arrested some of those running on the streets the exact number detained is not known but Rights Groups claim it was more than 300. 00. Opposition it counted as taken off sky is expected to take part in a meeting with you Foreign Ministers in brussels next week she has a ready address the European Parliament and that moves being condemned by both the ballot russian russian governments or Senior Correspondent moroccos the have sent this report from and. On saturday and throughout this week there have been far fewer people attending again a few a demonstration spontaneous protests that weve seen rocking belo us over the past month or so and police feeling emboldened by the lack of at n. D. S. Have certainly made themselves seen and known they have been many arrests dozens upon dozens of protesters and activists arrested detained taken to Police Station and Holding Cells but it is sunday that is the big day of protests here in belarus where we can expect to see thousands upon thousands of people gathered together rallies and march down the streets of minsk against the government it is the traditional day of protests we will see how the numbers out of what you know what sort of numbers turn out for that but while they have been there may have been a lull in a few a few people coming out for protests soufan this week there has been an uptick on the geopolitical fraud on the diplomatic front with the with an escalation in the relations between the European Union and better us. Have been invited to attend a meeting of the Foreign Ministers of european states which is which is you know certainly certainly shows how high a stock has risen in the ranks of in the minds of european politicians or indeed depending on who you are how high they have elevated stud better assist come out here and said that you know the must all mosques are off the European Union has shown its true colors that they have meddling that this is an attack on the sovereignty of belarus and the independence of belarus and russia has come out and said that the this meeting represents a huge turn on europes previously stated goals of staying out of it and respecting the the independence in the will of the better russian people. We consider such contact if it takes place as more evidence of the European Unions departure from so. Statements that they made in their regard in the absence of geopolitics in the situation with belarus with regards to this diplomatic escalation that the i mentioned the European Parliament came out and voted on a nonbinding resolution to see more of a recommendation but a very harsh one calling on the heads of states of the European Union that the leaders of the European Union not to recognize present as the legitimate leader of belarus once his official term is up moreover they are calling for sanctions for pressure on bellerose and russia for example has come out and said that this is counterproductive that this flies in the face of what the European Union has called for that called on previously which is deescalation which is dialogue and which is to to leave belarus to decide for itself d on what path and what course to proceed and russia said says that if these harsh if these harsh sanctions are put in place that they will be called sequences. Our position in relation to sanction instruments used by the European Union is well known it is illegitimate from the point of view of International Law and is an unacceptable interference internal affairs and the context of the situation and valorous it contradicts the call of restore instability establishing dialogue launching their constitutional process and these intentions of which represented have spoke so much about the rocklahoma at times to rock the boat and brussels should not be surprised that retaliated to remeasure will follow previously the president of the European Council had come out and openly said that the protests embarrass and not about geopolitics and that the European Union firmly stabs behind the better russian people who have the right to decide their own future but since then opinions have apparently changed in the chambers of the European Union and the European Union has taken a much more active role in deciding who and how the. Better us and making sure that the European Union gets a 3rd say in how things are done here on out. Thousands of people also protesting in bangkok demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister and reform of the market rallies have been steadily increasing in size since mid july the biggest headache drew more than 10000 people but organizers are expecting an even larger turnout this week and the calls for royal reform are particularly sensitive as president of the time marking can result in jail politics professor pacman while saying the protesters will need to tread carefully and we have to pay particular attention to 1. 00 very special subtle differences from previous protests in 2014 when the previous. Democratic elected government was to the from this time to put a start demanding. Up front and change to the market system because of the nature of the moment he led by the new king he is quite different from the previous came and because he obviously he has already sent arise a lot of powers in his own hand and i would say the protesters should also be fairly mindful and careful you are dealing with this new came because hes new and the way he often hes doing things it was all for in time you and saw the protestant need to test the water and see what is the skin way of doing things. Lets turn attention to africa were earlier this month zimbabwe surprised the world when they were nuns that would big compensating white farmers whod lost their livelihoods in controversial long reform policies in the early 2000 and many had their farms simply seized and 100 to the black population the move played a significant role in the countrys ruinous collapse or of the hopes that problems were now in the past have been dealt a fresh blow.

The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. In a day or thinks. We dare to ask. Democracy is driven domestically and internationally seen efforts by international can as ations and governments to promote democracy in countries like iraq afghanistan see how difficult it is ultimately it has to be reduced domestically because otherwise International Actors need to be in the country 24. 00 sevenths to make a sustainable so any country in the world thats just the stain of democracy is domestic sometimes of its National Health mystically
