"Never again will I allow myself to be in a jurisdiction where corrupt white police officers and a judge will take me away from my family, wife and kids just on a whim."
This comment section perfectly illustrates the kind of racism and ignorance this guy wanted to cut out of his life. Ghana is beautiful, enjoy!
Everyone should feel safe in their daily life. Too often white people don’t realize what others go through simply because of the color of their skin. All you have to read are the comments to know that is true. So many of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Congratulate a man for a life he’s built and a future for his kids to not know what racism and bigotry feels like. Everyone should be so lucky.
I am sad that the US has lost a good family. I am sad that he felt he had to do this.
I totally understand why he did.
Encourage all of your friends who feel the same way! Thank you.
I think interesting this moving, because they can help each other Africa and this beautiful family. Congrats.
I hope you made the right decision and you and your family will be happy.
Brave and cunning. Everyone follow their lead.
Welcome to the mother and family land 😊
Good ! No one Knows who you really are and where you come from ! Most of all you are not one of them !
Oh give it a rest, this is all getting very tiresome - just send a postcard to anyone who actually gives one.
While us we are praying and dreaming to stay in America. Welcome, but life is tough in Africa!
People for thousands of years have pulled up roots & moved to what they saw as greener pastures. It makes no sense to stay the in US & bash your head against the wall wanting it to change for you. I've known people from Ghana, they said it was a nice place.
Corruption and misconception is everywhere my friend. I hope you have a good life there.
The most peaceful country in West Africa, even peceful than the UK and America.
More like him should go home, I did, although my home was not Africa, it was the best thing I ever did. The US is becoming unbearable!
He's probably pretty wealthy there too. Any savings he had would have gone 5 times further and having an American education probably set him up in a good job.
Ghana does have a scheme currently encouraging people from ghanianian descent to come back “home” .
One moves away and a million take his place. It's amazing how many want to live in America. But reading the article, this guy just likes to complain.
There is very little corruption in Africa, maybe he should write a book and encourage more expatriates to go home. Most refugees and asylum seekers never seem to go home after the troubles end, they hire a lawyer
Good for you but i fail to see why this is a story.
From the frying pan into the fire? 🤔 considering how corrupt African countries are,I wish you good luck! Finally,an African who can legitimately call himself African American.......or now he's in Africa will he describe himself as American African?! 😂
Welcome home Brother , but we have corruption here
You should remain there and fight for others... He who fights and run away lives to fight another day. Similar to what sent you away from the US is here in Africa. The fight for survival is unending brother
out of the pan and into the fire, you complain about corruption and injustice in the u.s but youre in for a treat, guess what they also have it in ghana but much much worse, so goodluck brother
Women of all colors are harassed and killed every day. Tell me, where can we move so we aren’t targeted? Where is a safe place in society for women? In the USA at least he had the 14th amendment. The ERA never passed, year after year after year it has been voted down.
Riot police fired tear gas and baton-charged protesters as a tense standoff turned violent on the 12th week of protests.
The BBC failed to mention how the trains were shut down along the route of the approved protest, hours before the march was scheduled to begin. People who were planning to attend the march legally to exercise their human rights as specified in article 27 of the Hong Kong Basic Law, had difficulty doing so, along with other members of the public who also wanted to use the public transport.
Too bad I feel sorry for them, may God protect everyone out there protesting for their rights
They damaged public properties, throwing Molotov cocktails into the police stations, attacked innocent drivers and smashing their cars... Those are not protesters but rioters...I can't understand why the police has such patience... if it happened in France or the US... they would have been arrested...
BBC says Riot police. And other media says Riot Protesters !!! Well, which should I trust?😃😄
CCP said no freedom is allowed in Hong Kong. Armed police provokes protesters and then uses excessive force to beat them down and caused them severe injuries. Police even shoots tear gas inside residential area. No complaint to police is accepted. Hong Kong is now ruled by police.
biased media reoport. All u are able to see is "riot police". Ur "peaceful protesters" are destroying public facilities.
I understand being peaceful will not solve the problem. The government won't respond to peaceful protest... 😔
Our world,protests all over. God save my poor Malawi from continued demos
The bill is for fugitives and criminals. Why are they against it. iam getting feeling that Every Honkonger is criminal
My screen has a crack and so I am not able to read the article clearly but from the comments, i can assure you that the wedding was fantastic. The only thing we are wishing the couple is a fabulous honeymoon and happy marriage life.
Many times...We saw how British police treated with protesters....so China has the right to save her territory....
And so it begins...
Why BBC didn't report the demonstrators destroying the subway stations, harassing the subway station staff, peeing in the station and sticking bloody sanitary napkin on the glass window of the subway station office...I have a hard time understanding how these irrational acts are related to their demands. It is hard to support them anymore as they are turning violence and irrational.
BBC please can you check that there are two British in this riot police. David Jordon and Tupert Dover. And David Jordon is still showing up in the riot police group in the protest today. They shout head!!!!!
PLEASE DIG HIM OUT FOR HKERS🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏#bbc

Tiananmen part 2 will happen shortly and the world will, once again, look the other way
theres sth lacking about HK police that they are unable to stop those protestors and stop HK from financial crisis.i dont know if its the professionalism or soft heart they have.if the situation was given to china mainland ,it would have stopped it very soon.this political instability has to end.
What is the picture of the situation leading to this police action?
Can anybody please educate me in short .....
Why the agitation took place ?
What is their demand ?
And BBC may want to tell that students of the University of Hong Kong were approached by Chinese police while climbing the Himalayas in relation to protests (it's at least in the Chinese media, if not already the English also)
Let's see what happens on the 1st of October 💪
The British police do the very same thing.
Hey at least they didn't use tanks like they did at Tiananmen Square.
please report the whole story if you don't want to damange your own reputation
This the fault of Brazilian presidente also 😉
So they should too. Water canons next.
It would help if we all cared!
We're all That's good news
Last chance to save the poor. Last chance to save humanity. Last chance to make Heaven. Talk about priorities? I was hoping the UN would be brave enough to make such a proclamation.... Seeing that human lives matter. Perhaps there is an assumption by the World Leaders that the 'human being' is already safe... Eh..OK...not so safe...but nothing to worry about. Nothing a few more weapons..and wars against the beast in the east will not solve. Even more police presence will actually keep the 'human being' safe from the threat of extinction. Oh well, forgot that the human being has a complex definition.
Really great to hear about this..fun ..
We're all heading to the last chance saloon! 😜
Humanity just keeps on destroying the very planet we call home.
Time we stopped.
And time we reversed the ever expanding population.
“Last chance saloon”. Gotta admit, that’s a new and interesting draw to an article, even if it is the BBC.
How stupid are these people fishing them out of extinction? If i loved something that was so important to me i would be one of the main people fighting to protect it. What will these fools do when they kill the last one? But I'm using common sense..
We will go the same way .maybe in the end we will be eating each other.
Heads in the sand we deserve all we’re going to get
At least we have the means & technology to do something about it before it's too late...
I've got a decent sized pond and an old fish tank if that helps ?
Most of it ends up in China - and the Chinese do not have a good track record when it comes to conservation.
BOOM! I always wanted to be the first to comment on BBC
This is deeply saddening
Jade Helmethead Them manto rays needs to pull themselfs up by there own bootstraps

If it is their time to go it is god's will.
HEY ALL IM TONY HAGERLUND FROM FINLAND,S COUNTRYS CITY,S ESPOO
I was in a job interview today. The interviewing manager handed me his laptop and said, "I want you to try and sell this to me." So I put the laptop under my arm, walked out of the building, and went home. Eventually he called my mobile and said, "Bring it back here right now!" I said, "$200 and it's yours."
I am Donald Trump 😃

Make humans extinct, see how they like it...
The planet has been devastated by human's and all life is under threat because of our greed!
Demonstrators gathered in cities including London, Madrid and Bogota calling for action from Brazil's president in tackling wildfires in the Amazon rainforest.
We have 60% of our original forests intact, even after 500 years. Only Russia has more than Brazil. We are a role model of preservation and conservation. These fires happen every year in the dry season and are being fought against the best we can. Everything else is political propaganda to keep our soy out of Europe. Look it all up. Then bug off and go plant a tree, since most of you destroyed your forests. We didn't and we won't.
Thoughts and prayers will do absolutely nothing. We need hard working people out there putting out these fires! And they need to be payed.
And what is this going to achieve. Nothing. Good luck putting them fires out from London.
Why don't they go to Brazil with fire fighting equipment and help put out the fires?
Wouldn't that be better for the rainforest, than complaining about it from cosy London, while drinking an expensive coffee?
This land should be taken from Brazil and made an International reservation.
We need a global agreement to protect rain forests and a collective financial incentive for them to do so to enable the people to have an income in keeping the rain forests. The world needs them so we all need to contribute
Instead of protesting. Go and help with putting out the fires!
this tragedy must be fought by all nations of this earth. the amazon rainforest is our lungs.
Hypocrisy. Where are all the forests in the UK and Spain?
All these people saying - “put out the fires” ... the Amazon is being burnt to produce fields for cattle and to grow soya beans to be made into pellets fed to animals not factory farms - STOP eating meat if you care about the Amazon - oh wait - change your life in a small way to protect the planet - let’s just watch the planet burn ....
About the trees, animals, native people or about the uncountable mineral resources, oil, gas, water ???? The large part of those in manifestation are puppets that follow ideas of people that wants to make money in other parts of the world. Sadly, they are used.
Of course, I wish every single tree, animal, native people to be happy and keep still.
When all the trees from our world are gone so is the oxygen we breathe life cannot be supported with out oxygen,water
Why don’t they go to Brazil and help ? How does a protest like this help the forest ?? Environment Activists with fashion glasses , really ?
Love to see some tech transfer for free from the developed world to the developing (mostly their former ravaged colonies) to actually fight global warming. EU citizens have a very short historical memory and a fast share finger. Who developed by plundering the world? Now give something back for your own benefit.
We all need the Amazon rain forest. Should we be helping to preserve that forest?
Brazil don’t care. They are behind all the cutting down of all the trees for money so why should they be bothered 🤮🤮🤮
We all know BBC wouldn't be pushing this if Brazil's president was on the left
Great telling another country what it HAS to do within its own borders. We were bullies for doing that in the 19th century.
Did they all cycle 🚲 to their demonstrations?
If all the nations out there had restored atleast 30% of their land as RAIN FORESTS, we wouldn't have had to worry about what action the leaders of BRAZIL take....
Strange how there were no demonstrations against Brazil's treatment of the rain forests when it had a left wing government.....Bolivia has a left wing government.....where's the demonstrations against Bolivian treatment of its rainforest?
Where were the demonstrations against Russia when large swathes of Siberia were aflame?
I think its Jair Bolsonaro's politics thats inspired this....
How many of these planted a single tomato plant in their all lives????
It is not enough pointing a finger towards a president ,if the leaders of the world are that concerned they should send aid to extinguish the flames. #Dontprayfortheamazonforest instead #sendaidtotheamazonforest
Every one complaining are they helping ?
Are they a bit late to the party?
Hasn't he sent troops in?
She accessed an online bank account from space. And I can’t even get good cell service where I live. 🚀
Last time I visited Earth it was in 2010, I hope you are enjoying , regards from Mercury.
When it said “space crime”! I was expecting something a little more out of this world than accessing her estranged spouse’s bank account. I’m actually disappointed! 😟
Lol. She was probably doing it to test what could be done from such a distance! Cause why would she need to peek into another person's account? To see if that person had enough money to take care of their own child? 🙄
"Ms McClain graduated from the prestigious West Point military academy and flew more than 800 combat hours over Iraq as an Army pilot. She went on to qualify as a test pilot and was chosen to fly for Nasa in 2013." yeah but let's focus on her logging into a bank account she obviously has the password to. JFC.
Anything to tarnish a woman doing a good job. Personal issues made public to destroy the amazing work done. Ugh. Who cares where the account was accessed from. You can access accounts from anywhere in the world space is no different.
The bank need to be held responsible allowing people access the account from outer space. Whatever happened to 124 bit encryption
She had access rights to the account, apparently. Do astronauts shop online from space? What do they buy? These are the real questions.
Need to look at the GRAVITY of the offense and whether it should be tried in the same jurisdiction it was committed.
Our first outer space crime... accessing your ex’s bank account. Well done earth...
What’s the alleged crime, accessing an account she obviously retains access to, or withdrawing money from it that she’s no longer allowed to do?
But the crime had no weight to it so here on earth we call that a bunch of hot air! 😂
" five states that own the space station, Europe? " not yet dear BBC , but boy have you shown your hand and beliefs.
Amazing how she could get a signal on the ISS but I can't even keep a signal on Sky broadband 🤣🤣
Extending the frontiers of municipal law🤣
Ms McClain and Ms Worden, who is an Air Force intelligence officer, married in 2014 and Ms Worden filed for divorce in 2018. Investigators from Nasa's Office of Inspector General have contacted both over the allegation,
We supply Space Alien lawyer. They'll fight the case till innocent until proven gulity, and guilty until proven innocent. Contact me
Enough crimes done on earth. Now time to do it on space. Maybe that's what she thought. 🙄🤷
She can't be done as she hasn't committed a crime on earth 🤣 where are the pages in law books about space crime 🤣
Congratulations on getting a signal in space, I can’t even get 4G in central London sometimes.
The first person commit a crime on Earth was also a WOMAN called Eve.. her husband was also unfortunately sucked in. not news
" Sir, a crime has been committed..[dramatic pause].. IN SPACE!! "
No wonder the aliens are keen to try and stop humans as we just can't help ourselves when it comes to polluting space with all our criminal earthly misdemeanours!
It’s an “out of this world” crime...
“Legal frameworks agreed by the five states that own the space station - the US, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada”What?
President Jair Bolsonaro has ordered soldiers be sent to the region, after pressure from EU leaders.
Bit late now ! Better than doing nothing at all.I have made awareness to disaster sadly can not be there to help
About bloody time. Bolsonaro could care less that the Amazon is burning. He does not care that so many lives of amazing and beautiful species will be wiped out and the native peoples driven out. Brazils most precious gift to the world gone. All he sees are the potential to make money off the land use.
Spread the words! We are not happy to see the lungs of our planet is burning and we may not be able to stop it but something has to Change.
All world leaders should have reacted the moment this started....This is forest fire we're talking about... It spreads within milliseconds... And is one of our oldest oxygen resources... Not just Brasil, for the entire world!! Not to forget home of so many wild animals and birds... 😣 😣
I’ve always believed the rest of the world should pay Brazil not to develop the Amazon. Make it a UN world heritage site and make it worth their while to keep it pristine. I wouldn’t mind paying a bit of extra tax to keep the lungs of the world in good shape.
We send aid money to countries who have nuclear and space capabilities.Would this aid be better spent on protecting the health of the planet?
That’s great. And the pressure of saving forest should be to every nation on this earth, not just only Brazil. Why not having strict criteria of having certain percentage of land as a forest to be recognised as a nation? Just my thought.
The rest of the world should be helping, we are all happy to moan and tell the Brazilians what to do with their land as it benefits us all, so then shouldn't we all be helping to keep the amazon in one piece and if that means subsidising the Brazilian government then so be it. We are happy for the rest of the world to concrete over their country in the name of progress so either let Brazil do the same or cough up.
To little to late. We do not own this planet we have no right to treat it the way we do.
Isn't it amazing how cou tries are prepared to send military forces all around the world to kill and yet they claim "we don't have the resources" when it comes to sending military to help people instead. The amazon is important to the world. Why aren't the world's militaries being sent to help??
Amazon is the Heart of Earth. UN should take action quickly to prevent huge amount of losses.
Looking at the pictures you can see that the fires are in areas where trees have already been felled.He encouraged loggers and farmers to do this, now he’s scared.But if we care about the impact this will have each Country must plant more trees of their own,not rely on The Amazon rain forest.
Heal the world make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race. The Amazon are dying if you care enough for the living make it a better place for you and for me.
Fire fighter soldiers.
And there needs to be enough resources to spray water over fire.
In my opinion i want every nation to contribute to help stop fire and re-plant Amazon rain forest.
#SaveAmazon earth is our only home.
Oke good !!! But one fact is hilarious: with one hand we plant billions of new trees (like a challenge), which will grow and produce enough oxygen after 20-30 years, with another hand we fire billions square meters forests, where we already have hundred-year old trees full of oxygen and reach fauna. In this case, efficiency from new trees is even not zero, but minus.
Why is it bad that the amazon is burning. If it is the result of human intervention we should try and stop it. If it is naturally occurring we should absolutely leave nature to itself.
A coalition of nations should step in NOW its very late in the day but they have to move we are all just custodians of this planet something as important as the Amazon cannot be left to be ravaged
What kind of President he is? He's not concern about the wildlife in Amazon. The EU needs to pressure him, before he moves. He should be thrown into that fire!
Our right to exercise our vote is not a small matter...see how important it is when we then instate leaders who have their own agenda and never live up to the promises that they made during the pre-election. Not sure what's going on but the calibre of some of the world's leaders is just beyond my belief! 🤬
The whole Amazon should be declared world heritage because it is so vital for the whole world. Help farmers with money from international funds. And stop deforresting. !
The forest belong to Brazil so I guess if they want to clear some of it and use for farming that's their business. You could hide the entire EU in the Amazon and for every acer they try to clear three acer's are reclaimed by the Amazon. Its a constant battle for man to keep clear what small part they have opened up. In that sense the Amazon is like a living organism.
Too little too late...there should be a mechanism to fix responsibility in such cases. If the governments are found complicit..limited sanctions should be imposed.
Should not have had to forced to do this! Should have done this weeks ago 😠
20% of the atmospheric oxygen of the planet is produced by the Amazon rain forests. Thats 1/5th in old money.We truly are the masters of our own demise...😔
This is hardly getting any airplay in the US, I have to tune in to the BBC for my actual news now.
