Tipping point for a historic vote all right its time to shoot some good news i knew. Tension is building over International Waters near the coast of alaska after the United States says it intercepted another fleet of russian bombers but while the u. S. Claims the flight was too close for comfort russia claims it went according to schedule Rachel Blevins is joining us now to break this all down for us so rachel what is russia said about this incident so far well the Russian Defense ministry is saying this was a scheduled flight and they say that a no point did they deviate from their plan to fly off the coast of siberia and alaska and they actually released footage from this incident which shows one of their 4. 00 to 95. 00 bombers on the mission and then shows the u. S. 22. 00 fighter jets that shadowed their aircraft during part of the patrol now take a look at just how close it was fighter jets to get to the bomber now heres what a Russian Air Force commander had to say about it. Crews of strategic in this are carrying bombers performed flawlessly today 35 and my g 31 fighters provided support in the most complicated stages of the road. Post exercise permanent control of the mission along the entire row now we saw a similar incident play out last week where russia said that they were on a scheduled flight yet the u. S. Decided to intercept claiming that they were simply too close for comfort ok so we heard what the russians had to say what about the u. S. How they responded right will the u. S. Is saying that they stand by their claim that they wanted to intercept those bombers because of their proximity to alaskas coast now a statement was released on twitter by the north American AerospaceDefense Command or norad in which they posted photos of the aircraft and claimed it successfully completed to intercept a russian bomber aircraft formations and during the alaskan air Defense Identification Zone they went on to say quote the Russian Military aircraft came within 32 nautical miles of alaskan shores however remained in International Airspace and at no time did they enter the United States sovereign airspace so basically theyre saying it was too close but not so close that they wanted to turn a doubly action ok so weve heard about the planes now where does that leave Us Russian Relations lately well former National Security advisor john bolton recently made headlines 1st saying that russian president putin views President Trump as someone he can play like a fiddle and someone he doesnt take seriously but thats actually the opposite of what we have seen you know we saw. The i. N. F. Treaty last year and hes really dragged his feet on wanting to renew the new start treaty even though russia said it was willing to do so with no preconditions before it expires and february but instead trump has said he wants china to be included in a brand new treaty and hes really putting the last remaining Nuclear Treaty between the United States and russia at danger by waiting for that and then at the same time we also. Seen increased tensions in syria where moscow has called out the United States for keeping troops in a country where they are not invited and they have also called them out for wanting to still syrias Natural Resources now determine ministration Just Announced a new round of sanctions against top syrian officials so there are a lot of questions about if the u. S. Is going to try to ramp up its interference in syria and if that would then put them in direct conflict with russia yet definitely not matching up with john boltons statement so we will see how that plays out Rachel Blevins thank you so much. After 4 years of campaigning to get a spot on the u. N. Security councils table canada was denied a front row seat now this is the 2nd time in 10 years canada has failed to make the cut and needless to say the countrys liberal government is pretty disappointed arties alex lyall bitch has the story from toronto. Its not a secret winning the United NationsSecurity Council seat was a top is right on the canadian Prime Minister and Foreign Policy for her to do list its a way for canada to continue to be influential and have an impact in multilateralism and around the world but things didnt turn out the way just a trudeau had planned. On the good of number. India. Island. Number. One canada was in direct competition with norway and ireland in the race for 2 temporary western bloc seats on the Security Council after just one round of voting canada was out the final tally norway was 1st with 130 votes and ireland guarded 128 ballots in its favor canada lost with 108. Canadas Ruling Liberal Party was keen to play a role in the Security Council which elects 10 nonpermanent members for to your stance that the winners get to share a table with permanent members which includes the u. K. China france who did russia and the United States the council itself determines how the u. N. Response to military conflicts and it has powers which include authorizing peacekeeping operations and imposing International Sanctions cant just for your Campaign Cost taxpayers at least 2000000. 00 and employing 13 full time staff and even invited diplomats to a celine dion concert in new york at home critics say their reasons for the loss include the trudeau governments failure with International Aid and peacekeeping commitments while not condemning human rights abuses when compared to the other 2 when are seeing now ireland and norway accept it its clear that of their factors may have come into play as well norway announced this year that it was increasing its core funding to 6 u. N. Organizations to approximately 350000000. 00 u. S. Dollars and ireland is a neutral state touted for its outspoken Foreign Policy both norway and ireland were also ahead of the game with their Security Council bids coming in years ahead of canadas. His allies are trying to spin the loss of Foreign Policy with that help with Relationship Building in reducing canada stature for now canada has to take a backseat. That said even though he is most certainly disappointed the canadian Prime Minister has pledged that canada will continue its efforts in the international arena. When countries come together to work collaboratively and respectfully on solving big problems we do well when Vulnerable People around the world have better opportunities to succeed and fewer conflicts and and if you are a social inequities these are the things that canada has been doing for the past 5 years these are the things that we will continue to do into the future for our t. V. In toronto im alex mileage. And back here in the Nations CapitalHouse Democrats have slated a vote next week to make the district of columbia the 51st state now its an issue they say has become far more important in the aftermath of protests for Racial Justice in both washington and across the country are to his fair project is joining us from the newsroom and fair and this could be a pretty historic vote next week yes so mentally in order for a bill to become a law it has to go through 8 steps and hopefully doesnt get vetoed by the president at the finish line right now the fight for d. C. Statehood is in step 6 which is extremely monumental because d. C. Couldnt even get past up to in 26 years listen here. For more than 2 centuries the residents of washington d. C. The district of columbia have been denied their right to fully participate in their democracy instead they have been dealt the injustice of paying taxes proudly serving in uniform in great numbers and contributing to the economic power of our nation. Now the vote is slated for next friday the 26th and there is more than enough congressmen in the democratically controlled house that are officially back in the bill for it to pass however there is an insurmountable opposition in the g. O. P. Controlled senate thats also backed by President Donald Trump telling the New York Post last month quote d. C. Will never be a state you mean district of columbia state why so we can have 2 more Democratic Senators and 5 more congressman no thank you that will never happen monella welfare and back in 1903 then Democratic Controlled Congress shot down a d. C. Statehood bill so why would they flip on it now so manila it was 2 reasons actually that ignited the democrats to bring about this bill the biggest one being that infamous picture of President Donald Trump in front of St Johns Church just 2 weeks ago now it was the much criticize administrations move to use federal forces to clear Lafayette Park directly across from the white house of protesters with gas canisters for President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet to take a photo op in front of the church now the House Majority leader hoyer says it was a perfect time to introduce the bill and schedule the vote with the merial bows are on board they are very definitely should be soldiers stationed around our city waiting for the go to attack americans in a local policing matter so they knew now that our cause for statehood is certainly about making sure we have 2 voting senators to speak up for us and making sure that our congresswoman has a vote in making sure that we have seats at the table when the governors and state legislatures are talking. Now says it was also the recent covert 19 pandemic that shine light on the plight of washington d. C. So when Congress Passed the cares act stimulus package back in march d. C. Was actually classified as a territory rather than a state well because of that it cost d. C. More than 700000000. 00 in federal corona virus relief funding the bows are also pointed out that d. C. Taxpayers get no voting representatives in Congress Despite contributing more in federal taxes on a per person basis than many states and democrats are doing their best to convince their republican counterparts to go along with the vote but again its the senate that this vote could get shut down and now however another big point made by the democrats is with just over 700000 residents d. C. Actually has a Larger Population than the states of vermont and wyoming reporting in the newsroom fair and fronsac. Right now to the latest code 900 numbers worldwide cases topping 8300000 with 449000 reported deaths the top 3 countries with the most confirmed cases the u. S. Still leading the way followed by brazil and then russia taking a closer look at this countrys numbers now at 2100000 cases with 117000 reported deaths. And the World Health Organization says there was a glimmer of hope as a medical trial in the u. K. Showed an inexpensive steroids drug called dexamethasone was able to reduce the number of deaths however w. H. O. Officials caution that the drug must only be used under close medical supervision and only for severely sick patients that steroid is not a treatment for the virus itself. And over in peru where Health Care Workers are protesting for more personal protective equipment as the country emerges now as one of the worlds worst thinking hot hot spots because of the lack of people more than 1000 doctors and nurses are now infected and more than 60 have died the medical and nursing you. Ins are also asking the government for a bonus as they continue to put their lives at risk. And back here stateside a small city and Washington State is dusting off an old program in order to keep their local economy afloat city officials intend you know are once again printing what in money they recently resurrected their 1. 00 and Money Program to help its 800. 00 residents get through the economic fallout because of the pandemic each resident who meets the low income threshold is given 301 dollars each month to spend within the town the last time the city used whatever money was during the great depression.

C. L. U. Gentlemen thank you for joining us today adamic i want to go over to you 1st there are a lot of things that need to be done in the way of Police Reform off the top of your head what do you view as the most important. I think we need to look at the way that the laws are what laws police are and forcing are viewed one of the biggest things with the now narrative of defunding these its not going to solve the problem i talked just a couple days ago about a breakdown of looking at all the ability of the police have which is what the public wants to do away with they want to do away with a certain type of use of force there which generates from why the cops are there in the 1st place in other words was it a proactive or reactive interaction with the public and when you break everything down the force thats used with Law Enforcement on a citizen which is missing with the public is complaining about as is might why are they enforcing laws in the 1st place what are we looking at and specifically what i look at is war on drugs and the 2nd amendment firearms if we look at and we structure why police are dealing with people who are usually interacting with drugs and guns youre going to take away 95 percent of the issues that stem from proactive policing so the 1st thing we have to look at is not the street cop we have to look at the laws that theyre enforcing we straight away from the constitution want force and become massively Revenue Generation and we have to look at what command and village officials are having are cops doing its not a problem for the police its what the officials are asking them to do thats a different perspective than i have heard same question to you. Well to
