Is accused of trying to stoke an inflammatory debate over it one former chess official told the networks exploiting the racial debate that. I think in western democracy is there is an agenda to push for increased racial tension and the a. B. C. Tried to jump on that bandwagon by including. A good morning for russia just turned 11 am here for me and the rest the team of artes World News Center kevin owen here with the update and so all votes now counted following a week of polling across russia to decide on a raft of wide ranging amendments the constitution the Electoral Commission declared the final result just last hour breaking news with nearly 80 percent voting in favor from a turn that around 65 percent so a guess has gone better than the maybe some people expected correspondents across this for us is that the vibe. Well indeed the vote on changes to the russian constitution has officially wrapped up and the results are in although its happening talented and about 78 percent of people voted in favor of the amendments around 21 percent go to the gate and as you mentioned turnout was actually pretty high around 65 percent which is something that we would actually see on a president ial election that rotten something and no parliamentary even popular votes like this so really testament to how this issue gauged people so with the parliament now having signed off and now the people have been given the go ahead these amendments will come into force as soon as president putin signed a decree as to the process itself while there was a situation west cameras caught a woman and legibly ballots now a vote counting in that region of moscow has been suspended pending investigation otherwise the central Editorial Commission says that they found no it regularities in focusing now the commission insulted actually come under some criticism for starting to post preliminary vote early on in the day when voting was still underway now lets not forget of course that russia isnt just one times and there are 11 time zones so the situation far east was ready for that to clear up what must be quite several hours behind while still voting so that could explain and they also said that they did it in the interest of transparency that they have fresh figures from editorial observers and regional commissions and it is entirely legal to post such information they wanted it to come if you will straight from the horses mouth. True public imagination so the government go the backing it needs to get these changes through the nia. Well yes i mean there were so many amendments 147. 00 in total so its hard to tell what great beast sealed the deal in terms of getting and securing the public backing but undoubtedly the package of social amendments found really wide appeal and resonated im talking about things like ensuring that the minimum wage never told falls below the cost of living theyve adjusted pensions in line with inflation and ensuring to start the Financial Support so no income families these things have a very tangible impact on peoples day to day lives so we could have pulled people to the polls and been a Digital Divide defining moment but thats not to say it was an easy decision all that it was without control prosy there were a couple of amendments that proved to be particularly polarizing plaster foremost and thats one that startles paid a lot of attention to in the west was to socalled ziering out of all of president putins previous tabs meaning that according to these new amendments his slate is is now clean and he could if he wanted to run for president and not the 2 times also some of them will conservative and men. Found were found to be found controversial and divisive im talking about reiterating traditional family values defining marriage solely as a union between a man and a woman and the mention of god despite the fact of course russia is officially a secular country so these aspects are what led to some disapproval and indeed some protests very peaceful in fact both in petersburg and right here in moscow but true to 2024 and they were a bit unusual and it was all about safety. Are are there of the radar. Data out of iraq arent there so there we have it the russian constitution getting a bit of a shake up the 1st time in since it came into power in 1903 south korea for. Bring us up to speed there in central moscow saskia tail. Picking up or saskia was talking about there the amendment she mentioned about the resetting of the current president ial terms it means that libya putin could potentially than run for another 12 years after his current plans something that has been bothering western media so much more than any of the other a proposed amendment she also mentioned. Hes the longest serving russian leader since the dictatorial days of stalin and should he decide to run again its looking like for the 16 years you know for much of us many of us observing this from around the world thats what the russians are voting on today do they want putin basically forever or do they want Something Different there is this feeling that it doesnt make any difference your vote counts for nothing theres nothing written can do if you wouldnt like to see him stay on in power some observers told d that you can just see from the results from the Central Action Committee where people went for the right to vote for him terribly that turnout was about 30 percent and where people were made to go to the to cast their ballots and that turnout was about 70 percent thats just not normal maybe at are attracted by the easiest mess the egg truck to the message is all the president want to stay here for 2036 and sometimes they are not so many any. Starting complex framework Legal Framework like a constitution to find what really is important for the future of the country and for the society the normal People Living in russia i found many many points where social reforms because theyre all women and also the new balance of power would have deserved more attention but their deeds you know the good news is no news that some used to say i reject these i studied your project d our constitution then i found something very interesting. Story to bring if past couple of weeks police and cleared out now the celtic later thomas protests known in seattle activists occupy that area which became known as chop after. Moved out of the precinct building the campaign is saying theyd hoped anyway to have created a Peaceful Police free utopia didnt last long in the 3 weeks of protests the zone saw 4 shootings 2 of them were fatal have also been reports of assaults burglaries and even a rape the protesters some armed were warned that they could face arrest if they didnt leave over 30 were to tell you at the end Seattle Police released videos of some of the violence. While at 1st the mayor wanted to leave the activist to their protest but she was later forced to take action how long do you think seattle in those few blocks looks like this i dont know we could have the summer the deteriorating conditions and repeated gun violence required us to immediately address Public Safety concerns it was clear that many individuals would not leave and Public Safety could not be improved until they did leave. The mayors decision came after protesters marched on a home demanding Police Funding be cut by a half throat so the last couple of weeks local activists is that hes being a taking us through whats happening there well the most latest as he watched the police move the protesters on. Outside of the pine street entrance of chop right now where a bunch of police have set up a barricade and the protesters are now beginning to gather not just. Got their. Block in the street trying to cause a little bit more awareness and the officers took that as an opportunity to simply enforce their version of law. The police came in to chop and ousted the remaining people who were staying there does that have around 32 arrests from your perspective what exactly happened basically i was that far and 10 far and again it all started with that bang bang bang screams and by. That there were a couple individuals who were speaking loudly red megaphones were doing the crowd energized to actually bringing people in off the streets and the cops in a little bike brigade actually charged targeted those people arresting them individually and throwing them into the back of cop cars the far end of chalk. Not too long ago there were a bunch of tents in these areas there were people hanging out just living but. Within 5 hours. Everyone has been evacuated you know like you had a. Duty to tell myself that you know. My next friend and her friend you know i dont think anybody in seattle did not see this coming ever since the string of 4 to 5 shootings that have. Recently found out that the last shooting. A 14 or 16 year old kid you were. Shot is actually relatively empty and relatively quiet last couple days but i think that this morning it was. The cops decided it was time to put that theres a lot of the moralization right specially in the crowd of protesters because i think a lot of people are taking this a bit of a loss especially where. This entire idea of. Seems to have not only but come to an end. The social networks are under intense all round scrutiny right now on getting a handle on hate speech the discussion website read it is the latest to make a move its ban the large pro trump forum saying its violated the rules more ghastly of next than taking a look at whether the axe is falling because of public offense or maybe political pressure its a sad state of the thing isnt it whats happening to the internet to the discussion increasingly no one month stay here an opinion that isnt as well that they dont agree with even recognize it specially the ecu chamber that is reddit which is just bad in the internets Largest Community of donald Trump Supporters is a place for community and belonging not for attacking people who dont know what has been in violation of that one could direct read it see you take a look at the hundreds of ads he trump groups a tidal wave of bile but whats the point it isnt hate if they agree with it which is what she uses and now saying this ban wave that included the donald targeted mostly conservative voices. Right its been a bunch of mostly irrelevant sub thread it is just a cover to ban the donald which was the largest cromagnon community on the internet reddit just banned 2000 separate its almost exclusively right leaning channels censorship is very real i dont support trump but the censorship hate speech is subjective you know what thats ok right it isnt public property its a private enterprise they can do whatever they want bad whoever they want at the same time radical left sub right its where people can organize harassment that attacks and pump out vile hate those communities thrive the way conservatives see it what reddit and other Tech Companies are doing isnt about protecting minorities its about using minorities as an excuse to shut up trump and his predominantly White American supporters you cant make this monstrous. Prejudice up big tech is well out of control twitter and other social media platforms targeting their bias against President Trump and conservatives on line big tech is out of control filled with hubris and flagrantly silencing those with whom they disagree from conservative media organizations to the president of the United States senator cruz by the way along with millions of conservatives of looking to paula a website that dubs itself as an unbiased alternative to leftist run bread its an twit isnt facebooks and some Trump Officials are ditching twitter for a new social media platform which is called pala so paul im a big waves claiming to attract 2000000. 00 freedom and free speech loving uses in just over 2 weeks what you think happened next that the right wing platform embrace leftist. Views and opinions or and mediately start banning them exactly like left wing platforms that are battling conservatives. Ringback the donald on reddit was a cesspit of barely concealed prejudice its what ive always see that but so has so many radical left soubrette it like id say fascists have read it the way i see it the right in the left they deserve each other 2 sides of the same court both con stand hearing opposing views both con stand a chronology that there are opposing views and big tech where it should moderate and help it capitalizes and monetizes on peoples prejudice and division is a safe space they say a pattern a little universe where you can move only with people like you and be served to add stale it to you and your browsing history and after years and years of this how can people find that surprising that the right and the left simply hate each other isnt a good thing if people running to their corners if people think a poor. Public social network. Itll be an echo chamber they want to be reaction and they want to be able to debate the other side everyone has had it up to their necks with Silicon Valley clear by other charity able. To. Frame Public Discourse in this go. The cold war we arent we are in and we have been in a 2nd cold war in this country for a long time its eternal. Were talking chess next it may be a game a strategy skill and patience but for a stranger as National Broadcaster its another poll in the global racism debate the a. B. C. Plan than to ask radio audiences is chess racist because white pieces move 1st was the question didnt go down well with the former astray in Chess Federation representative who was asked to take part in said debate john adams refused and took to twitter to rebuke lee a. B. C. Saying the taxpayer funded National Broadcaster is raising a relevant topics during a pandemic is anger was echoed by a world class players too like the russian grandmaster anatoly karpov. A period of total insanity has begun what does it have in common with the centuries old game where john adams whos 20 propelled the row into the open says the order of who goes 1st has got nothing to do with race and called out the a. B. C. For inflaming racial tensions i was on the phone call the a b. C. Wanted to have a discussion about whether they should change the rule because of the current racial context i think its a big scandal the fact that what goes 1st has nothing to do with race. It all comes down to a convention which in the late eightys i think in western democracies there is an agenda to push for increased racial tension and the a. B. C. Tried to jump on the bandwagon by including the fact that the a. B. C. Decided to pick chess as a topic i think is fully exposed what their agenda is we dont need more tension would only to divide people i think its dangerous if we allow games that have nothing to do with race to be politicized. Lee a. B. C. Says its a must have misunderstood here the radio host whose the show planned to hold a discussion insists they werent looking for people to say chess is racist instead James Valentine says they were looking to create fresh conversation about a world now coming up off the break this is Arts International this is so one of the stories we go ahead as the Saudi Coalition launches fresh strikes against who see rebels in yemen we visit one of the citys most affected by many years of war a former capital of culture that is now in ruins. The young who want transparency they want to know where this is headed and then the mayhem the one night stand that theyre going to get rid of which they dont want rapidly and theyre putting themselves together theyre courting very slowly this pandemic is making them be even more careful it will continue to be careful and they will. At least a decade after new a generation of more solid partnerships. Ah no no crowd. No shots. Actually helps be. No 1st. Points your thirst for action. Again so as saying before the break there has been upsurge in yemens drawn out conflict the Saudi Led Coalition has launched a fresh operation against the rebel who see movement Saudi State Television saying its out of missiles were fired at the capital riyadh the coalition classifies the who thinks as terrorists and has been at war with them and faces 2015 a year after yemen civil conflict 1st broke out its considered by the u. N. To be the worlds worst humanitarian crisis and this is one of the worst affected cities. Havent had a lot of community due to the war i abandoned my house i was afraid for my children and we had to leave after a shell in our home and completely destroyed it and now we have nothing left on the pedals. But the house but they left it does when in 5 years the war in thai eases left behind destruction on one level in a sense the specially homesick africa for example on the eastern side of chinese it looks like he has been hit by a hurricane not to get the damage spreads to Public Institutions like hospitals and other services in general these dozens of institutions and hundreds of 100000 that were destroyed beyond use at the. German Defense Ministry is to partly dissolve an elite Commando Unit of a right wing extremism in its ranks reporting on from berlin our europe correspondent peter all of. For over 70 years germanys muscle on the International Stage is being economic as opposed to military but a developing neo nazi scandal inside an elite unit of the German Armed Forces has caused outrage among the public and forced the government into a visible response the key ski cannot continue to exist in its current form it must be changed from within and better integrated into the buddhist via will give the case key town to press the reset button. K s k a drawn from the best of what the bond is down to offer but it seems some of germanys special forces have been harboring some d. P. Unsavory beliefs. I. Worryingly those in the know believe this goes deeper than a few bad apples and war units in the guns cause even if the vast majority of soldiers are in line with the constitution im great winick stream ism is not a new phenomenon in society and. We have identified a new dimension. As it stands one of the k. S. Cases for companies which is understood to be the fulcrum of extremist activities will be disbanded all together with the remaining Commando Units brought under mortar. Control of the bond is very chain of command critics of the move say this is just window dressing and doesnt deal with the real problem yet and finally there is a comprehensive package of measures from leadership training to social research and attitudes and with this there its all correct but so far its only on paper as shocking as the revelations about the k s k r right wing neo nazi extremism has been and continues to be investigated across the German Military with hundreds of new cases being launched the Defense Ministry giving a clear public message that extremism has no place in the book there is a minister our defense minister follows a 0 tolerance approach this is not only about this Pressure Forces command this is about something fundamental but the case key has become and that cannot be denied very conspirators in the last weeks and months. The thing is some of these ideas that are being investigated in the military are also prevalent among the general public last weekend saw until immigration politicians leading a demo against migrants and the left wing who they blame the violence last month. Some of those in attendance drawing inspiration from the United States even if the protest and counter demo were far from the scale weve seen on the other side of the atlantic. Theres a lot of pressure on defense minister and a great can count to get the response to this far right extremism scandal correct the woman who had been tipped widely as a potential successor to angle a miracle is chancellor until she counted as self out of the running has a potentially tricky job on her hand the government has to appear on waving when it comes to stamping out far right extremism in the military but also understanding to the concerns of those on the right of the public who theyll be looking to for votes when it comes to election Time Next Year peter all of her r. T. Berlin what sort of our main story so far though so much more on social media on r. T. Dot com as well around the clock for you reporting from moscow for now kevin though in saying have a great day. Enough people talk about a recession but actually theres a risk balance that the globe is heading into a depression thats right the pressure that the words. You cannot be bold with the yeah you like. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe from. The isolation full community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. By a. What is true what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maid in the shallows. Time after time called parisian to repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability stable amana a more equitable and sustainable well. They claim their production is completely hama. Companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is a this must be. So when. This is the one business show you cant afford to miss. In washington coming up the f. T. C.
