To protect germany. How does that work it doesnt work. Right now in paris live pictures from the french Couple Health workers in the country in force to remind the government about its pledge to help medical stuff. Off but. This is our to international my names you know me 30 minutes of news and views start. North korea blowing up the main facility used for diplomatic talks with south korea and cut all communication lines between them. In the case song. See the north korean leadership earlier threaten the facility calling it useless for feeling to prevent propaganda from defectors in the south i gave an instruction to the arms of the department in charge of the a fierce with the enemy to decisively carry out the next action. Would rapidly and solely implement any decision of the party and government. Its a sign of the 2 countries rapidly worsening relations north koreas been complaining in recent weeks that propaganda leaflets have been flowing from the south claiming its in violation of agreements reached when the Liaison Office was established less than 2 years ago some defector groups have been sending flyers by blue across the heavily fortified border a government in the south has taken Police Action against the group groups indeed saying their activities were not helping efforts to achieve peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and weve got reaction to all this including from specialist pak huang who suspects there might be other reasons behind. The scenes or not this was a step. And. Max 1st time in the summit in singapore and expect to be growing up the. Invitation to not just these sons korea and russia but also to the u. S. Administration in the past 2 months or so we have not to set a consensus but feed the north korean leadership. When they are for emergencies and to do all may not be able to continue his. Leadership i think he wont get worse because of these 3. Minor incidents but it also depends on how. Ministry should handle the situation but i believe the moon will have come to know how to handle it properly. Lets turn our attention the program to north west United States self declared. Thomas owen in seattle lobbies were in occupation protests by block lives Motor Company which is very much continuing they moved in after police moved all of their precinct building in the citys capitol hill crowds are building camps theyre stocking up on supplies as well suggesting theyre in it for the long haul activists zach book is in ski walked artie through it all. When was the last time they used and 2 cities at once to my right is the city of seattle typically dreary monday afternoon. After the capitol hill autonomous so its now becoming known as chat but what exactly are the goals of this community what exactly is trying to be achieved here. Lets go check it out. Currently standing outside of the Police Departments east precinct which has been abandoned now after a series of protests that devolved into riots the Seattle Police department decided to be prudent to actually leave the station and so this is become the kind of epicenter for for chavez the capitol hill autonomous zone this absolutely beautiful mural of the recent black lives that have been lost in these protests so im currently walking down the north part of pikes street right now and see on the ground we have a sports car thats been put up i think a lot of people working on this always. Trying to create a little space they have here this is the change right here is more really story and a lot of people look at my presidency with the changes already begun to do you think this is about Police Brutality or is this more about systemic racism exist matter couple think the goal of the chances of us having to hear that the goal is the people this is this is the ball around your. Own its no use. Going everybody here or part of the goal to bring everybody together i feel like whats going on here is like definitely different playing on the floor some down at Cal Anderson Park right now which has become sort of a Living Center for the capitol hill a town in the so and you can see in the distance. Quite a few tents and people have been setting up and and kind of creating slowly over the last couple days living community. Going way way down. It feels like were not being listened to. And. Thats why its important that the noise has to be made to your guns or kind is that its. So are you worried about the Police Coming up in here and trying to bust us out trying to move this thing out. Really side of the Community Garden thats been established here you can see that people are really coming together here stablish in an actual permanent garden in the ground i think theyre mostly trying to grow food and hopefully the goal of this becoming an actual Sustainable Community we want to consumerism because its just feeding into the system even more so explain what youre doing here you know whats the closest people. Priority is going to look at the people of color people that are in need everything is free theres been some disagreement about what the name of this this area and the community should be. For a while it was being referred to as the capitol hill autonomy own or chaz but now theyve changed the name to the capitol hill organized protest or chop the reasoning behind this is that calling this area and a ton in the stone. Could invite more violence from the federal government or from the police and i think its very obvious town here that nobody wants more violence. People are going to come here. And like protesting our protests we need some sort of protection. And whether that be guns or whether that be our voices we need that the people down here they are not. Politicians theyre not leaders they are nurses theyre teachers theyre restaurant workers they are the unheard but theyre not writing they are making music they are making art they are feeding the homeless theyre doing wonderful special things. But if the people of the world refuse to listen to the messages that are being spoken down here and theyre going to miss out on something very important and very special. This exact reasons he coming to you from Capitol Hill Seattle thank you for listening. And inside just to want to help in there by somebody who very much supports what is occurring somebody who doesnt President Trump made his feelings clear about the handling of the seattle autonomous zone blaming local leaders for that article or. Ever governor that doesnt do a damn thing about it and you have a mayor that doesnt know shes alive shes talking about its going to be a love fest this summer you know if they dont do the job ill do the job and ive already spoken to the attorney general about it but if they dont do the job we will do that. About 10 Different Things i think any one of which will solve the problem quickly this video has been circulating online too showing a protester apart and clean handing out assault rifles to minors its very much against the law in Washington State a seattle activist told kevin on earlier that from what hes seen so far the protests are mostly peaceful. To quote what you see looks pretty quiet around juggling somebody filming the shoulder but do you see any trouble. So i think we talk about you know more violence or i think its sort of out of touch with what artists are see on the ground have come to understand for the last 2 weeks the looting and violence started from the heart and they were violent with flash bangs and. You know sound and sometimes so this is the most peaceful id say that. The other side of the coin conservative talk radio host dave perkins sais that campaigners in the Occupied Zone should expect a tough response if they keep it up. Theres just a variety of to put it on the level almost an insult to ordinary americans being exercised and displayed by these people as they try to pretend that having taken over downtown seattle it is now better run than i was before we see recently they changed their name from autonomous zone to occupied something or other because theyre sort of. Special independent status as a nation that they were so eager to grasp in the 1st week the reason theyre doing this is theyve realized that donald trump put up razor wire around their compound installed Border Crossing stations and revoked the citizenship of all the people in an autonomous zone and then begin to deal with them as the International Independent country they claim to be anyone from the. Deported back there are all kinds of things that are well within Common International law the president could do. Headlines stories more than 9000. 00 american troops stationed in germany are to be president maybe order after accusing berlin of being delinquent in its payments to the Nato Security Alliance suggesting it ought to spend more on defense. But the only countries that hasnt agreed to pay what theyre supposed to pay is germany so i said until they pay were removing our soldiers a number of our soldiers by about half the people with money when it comes to well as far as he says it not paying its way when it comes to nato the us president saying hes ready to remove all of the u. S. Troops that are currently stationed in germany now the figure at the forward is around 52000 u. S. Troops thats quite a bit high in the official figures we have how many people all station to. What we suggest is included in there is Defense Department civilian contractors anyway. He wants to see that number could down 225000 the reason is well Donald Trumps nose is being put out of joint by angle of merkel food over 2 key issues one on trade with the us president thinks germany is tress the United States very badly and the other one is when it comes to energy where germany has been buying up quite a bit of its energy from russia by his germany paying russia billions of dollars for energy and then were supposed to protect germany for america how does that work it doesnt work it is well worth pointing out that even at the height of the cold war west germany as it was david was buying energy from the u. S. S. R. Was it was then as well this probably has a lot more to do with donald trump wanting to hold us l. And g. Liquid natural gas to the European Market the issue there though is the l. N. G. Is a lot more expensive than Russian National natural gas that could be piped directly from russia into germany as is done through the north stream pipeline when it comes to this announcement over troop withdrawals though its shrouded in confusion heiko must the German Foreign minister said this it will berlin not being briefed to what washington intended to do i would see us german relations are difficult as you see that the decision has not been 100 percent coordinated with the United States government it is not surprising that it has not been coordinated with the us either or following the announcement by donald trump the german ambassador to the United States. Well correct the u. S. President over the role of those u. S. Troops that are stationed here in germany that theyre there as part of the Nato Alliance the Transatlantic Alliance and said they provide the u. S. With an ability to project power well far beyond their borders into play areas like africa. Into areas like east asia as well when it comes to whats going to happen to these troops we still dont know but as i said confusion surrounding the whole announcement how being talk of some of these troops being relocated to poland were going to have to wait to find out exactly what happens when we get a little bit more clarity coming from washington. No sooner does france lift its ban on protests because of covert 19 Health Workers. Bark to the streets to remind the government about its pledge to help medical staff and support hospitals are to charlotte spoke to me earlier all month.

Were here on strike because of how grave the Health Crisis is the political choices that have been made destroy the hospitals so they must be changed. We must defend our Public Service because its our only wealth we share i am a nurse and Psychiatric Hospital people must be paid better soon more money move stole from working possibly less and just lose money generally into the system on some of the requests from the Health Workers now there is a review underway by the government that regime is due to be announced some point in july but many people here have been questioning why its taking so long at all this moviemaker to come to fruition it is only a 6 week of you but they say you know we were protesting out on the streets close to to let you know the system and the situation the looting was tenable it was too difficult this is a system thats about to grow cold at the end show but cliff that many people here making sure that the government knows that they will not back down and that they wont be demoing sunset nuts at the very least its more money for themselves in their own cooking but also within a system that faces a needs help.
