rip's the nation campaigning on the election trail has been forced to take a back seat will the presidential candidates ever hit the road and sell their brand of politics to americans before the vote follow the u.s. elections on a. war . al-jazeera. you're watching the news hour live from london i'm coming up in the next 60 minutes taking the need for racial justice black lives matter protests continue in the u.s. as donald trump orders the national guard to leave washington. demonstrators in britain topple the statue of a 17th century slave trader with a message at the u.k.

is not innocent. protests erupt against brazil's president after the government stops telling people how many have died from corona virus we visit the world's largest fruit and vegetable market and the tiny army fighting to prevent an outbreak. and i'm santa how much now have all the sports including more teams in germany has been does he get to join the protest against racial injustice . thanks for joining us the national guard is pulling out of washington d.c. nearly 2 weeks after the death of george floyd sparked rallies and cries for justice across the u.s. president donald trump who once ordered troops to dominate the streets and stop violent protests now says the forces are no longer needed but demonstrations have continued with thousands of peaceful protesters vowing to keep up the message that

black lives matter meanwhile the u.s. attorney general has denied that law enforcement is institutionally racist. i think there's racism in the united states still but i don't think that c. our law enforcement system is systemically racist i understand the distrust however for can american community given the history of this country i think we have to recognize that for most of our history our institutions were explicitly racist. with protesters in washington at the newly named black lives matter plaza right in front of the white house so how much momentum is there for the process in d.c. . books which pretty meant just 10 days now protests in d.c. still thousands on the streets in front of the white house to understand this goes back several blocks where we understand there are. protests going on around and around the city and there is that sense bads. it's such an amazing opportunity

to to to to look at it and properly analyze the structures that lead to police violence usually it's it's a much easier much easier for people like attorney general bob you just that this is just the police are racist just a few bad apples and so on but because of the police's overreaction to peaceful demonstrations about police violence that's becoming harder and harder to retire when the police is response to demonstrations has been so clear this week has been to just randomly lash out at protesters not people over the spray the break into the crowd as well as waiting at traffic lights and it's all being covered that's going to sort of thing how can the bad apples there we still hold when the buffalo police force comes out in support of the 2 colleagues who have been suspended for knocking over stuff the 5 year old on the pavement to that there's an understanding

that this is different that the message seems to be getting through however there's still a certain amount of confusion notably when. on the street. but rather dismaying to. itself which. isn't. talking about. as the great champion shows how easily. the police. home creates measure that. the police means stop giving them billions increasing the budget every year. to do this. and spend that money instead on communities there's always that risk. to feel good and touchy feely and

can win social media. all right chad thank you very much for that update from washington. will take you over to new york because the city has lifted its curfew ahead of schedule after it was imposed to stem protest against police brutality the city's mayor says he hopes it's the last time it will ever be needed let's get an update from there chris a salumi is joining us what are you seeing around you chris. well i'm standing in the middle of broadway in lower manhattan where demonstrators have now shut down the street like we've been seeing happening. pretty much all weekend long the last week thousands and thousands of people coming out to local parks taking part in marches a really broad range of people young old black white. just showing their strength showing their resistance showing their support for this movement as

we've been walking through the streets we've been seeing people cheer honk their horns stop and encourage the protesters take pictures and i grabbed one of the organizers right here can you introduce yourself and your organization my name. and i'm part of youth united for black lives and how are you feeling we're seeing this massive show of support here on the street right behind me all week people have been coming out do you feel like you're making a difference it feels amazing to get that you're here because that ended the it starts with us it starts with the you get an up and speak and it's amazing like if we look behind us. so it's amazing to see that we can mobilize the youth to come out because it's always all the youth never comes out they never show wow but now we're here and we're demanding to do the same thing our parents went through the mayor said he's lifting the curfew you can continue to protest after 8 pm when you continue to do that and you are satisfied with some of the concessions that he's talking about now taking money away from the police department some of the police

officers who are caught on video attacking protesters have been suspended do you think that's a good stock. because actions have been made it's all been were like at the end of the day the curfew device that me or the protest. curfew just added fuel to the fire and we want to listen to us where you put a thanks in on us for using our 1st amendment right to freedom. to for our freedom of speech freedom. a curfew for us but to lead. but you're not listening to it. when you set the curfew you just increased the amount of police officers that were telling you to get up to play these we need better we. communicate with law enforcement not just police officers many. police officers. every time they. get to run into any police officer of how peaceful we have been every time protests

face contact with the police that's when everything escalates and we don't want. the issue that we're here for thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us and she's right last night the police did not enforce the curfew and things are relatively peaceful relatively few arrests the governor cuomo and have said that it was a good example of peaceful protest and that's why they decided to lift the curfew monday things should be interesting there's still promising to continue demonstrating but new york enters its phase one of reopening after the crown of virus pandemic you can see behind me some of the stores that are boarded up that happened after there were some looting the looting is things have been much more peaceful but now it's time to get the economy going again the governor says and demonstrators are going to continue a lot of things happening here in new york but so far it's been a peaceful day and they're promising to continue this going forward yes sounds like it ok kristen thank you for that update from new york will transfer racial justice

are spreading across europe with rallies held in cities from madrid to rome here in the u.k. protesters towards a statue of a 17th century slave trader and toss that into a river many activists want their governments to know that their message is not just meant for american eyes that seemed baba reports. i was marching to the american embassy but demanding change at home the protest in london was the latest of many across the u.k. that have echoed events in the united states but demonstrators a clear that there are huge challenges facing their own country my people think the case in this and you. know it's all that happens here every day people don't speak about it but finally people are speaking up people started to know by this current moment in time black lives are being largely affected were 1st police brutality were 1st introduced lies racism and people are here to fight to say no more before

the weekend britain's home secretary said people should not be attending protests because of the risk of spreading covered 19. or 20 who wore mosques physical distancing wasn't always possible but for many the importance of making a stand outweighed any fears there's been a series of protests here inspired by the killing of george floyd in the u.s. but bringing in grievances specific to britain as well and they're part of a trend that spread right across europe now in italy they gathered for an impromptu protest in rome taking in the for nearly 9 minutes the same length of time a white police officer had his knee on george floyd's name. there was also a large anti racism demonstration in the spanish capital madrid i believe the one i yelled at this time for introducing this is about racism which i think is institutional and structural and we have to protest against it this was one more case that shows that the system damages a minority and because we are not protesting every day does not mean it doesn't

exist. back in britain they pull down a statue of a 17th century slave trader in the city of bristol one common demand on recent protests is better education about black history. i. as people continue to take to the streets across europe discussion just starts in which many people feel. and we are on the al-jazeera news hour rigorous and effective china defends its actions in containing the corona virus pandemic. as the corona virus rages ravages tourism in the town of shakespeare's birth for traitor is now is the summer of their discontent in sport is the africa cup of nations the next major tournaments facing a delay. but

1st more than 400000 people have now died across the world from corona virus and despite national lock downs and quarantine orders the infection count is nearing 7000000 almost 2000000 of those cases have been recorded in the u.s. with the death toll crossing 110000 that's the highest in the world despite this president has the cleric his response to the pandemic a success next comes the u.k. with more than 40000 fatalities 77 were reported on sunday the lowest daily figure since the lockdown began the 3rd highest number of coronavirus deaths at almost 36000 has been recorded in brazil president also there as government has stopped publishing publishing a running total of deaths and infections critics are saying it's an attempt to hide the true toll of the disease meanwhile thousands of protesters are gathering in brazil's major cities over the president's response to the coronavirus

demonstrators are also angry about the hundreds of black people killed by police mainly in the favelas of rio de janeiro some protestors were holding 4 cards reading black lives matter in solidarity with rallies worldwide over the killing of george floyd arline america editor of the c. a newman is joining us from santiago to discuss the situation in brazil and why there are so many people protesting there despite the very high contagion rates. that's a very interesting question because up until now protesters had been had been basically limiting themselves to banging on pots and pans from their houses and their buildings so that they wouldn't go out onto the streets but apparently the anger is now strong enough to actually bring them out following curfews in cities like follow brazil's largest and most populous city which also has the highest number of fatalities from coronavirus so far and then the complaints are very very broad they

go beyond just the president's reluctance so we say to take strong measures to combat the corona virus and the fact that he has had now 3 health ministers the latest one is actually not even a doctor he's a member of the military since the virus since the pandemic began also they're complaining about racism but especially about what they see as very very serious and dangerous and he didn't craddick attitudes from the president the fact that he says that he will not obey the supreme court if it is choose a ruling which he does not agree with the president is being investigated is so are his sons for for breaking the law. for trying to apparently hide the son of his son's. misgivings are rather busy doings in the hold a rape of a punishable in crimes that could lead to even the president to being impeached so this is of the sorts of things that people are out there complaining about and it's

been a long time since they came out in force to do that until now it had been only the president's supporters who would get the streets by the way for the most out of the gate as you've been doing every sunday without wearing a face mask see where you are in the government has just revised the national death toll what's the latest on mounds. very bad news in chile every day they're getting worse and every day their health ministers are breaking new records when he makes his announcements and that it's not pretty for example yesterday and today nearly a 100 people died and revised the death toll so it's a another $650.00 more people taking the total now to the 4th largest in south america there were also 6 and a half 1000 new infections overnight which is a move that the government is has not been able to contain the spread of the disease they've announced that they're going to broaden the quarantine the

mandatory quarantines in cities outside of or in areas rather outside of the capital santiago but the real problem is that people are not a bang the quarantine they're not staying at home and so the president is talking about forcibly taking some people who are that refuse to maintain distance social distancing if they have been infected or or break the quarantine altogether into what they call sanitary residences whether they would want to go or not so this would be a very very strong measure to hasn't happened yet but people are getting very very worried about the situation the right to see a thank you for that update from santiago over in mexico the government there has reopened essential industries but it's coronavirus case count rising more than 113000 infections have now been reported in over 13000 deaths let's get an update bring in john homan and are these figures expected to keep rising john.

well it all depends how people behave at the moment it's copal from the essential industries that you mentioned briefly there which is mining manufacturing including car manufacturing and also the construction industry people are still meant to be staying home the aim is for a gradual reopening of the country but we've been to many of the working class areas of mexico city and people are going out i think some people are probably hanging on for the day or even going out slightly before that day maybe they're desperate to get out but also a lot of people especially in the poorer areas especially of the capital need to get out to earn a living now what hasn't helped mexico's government who is still trying to cool for people to stay home is that the country's president himself the moment that the soft quarantine ended in the country to call for a tool all around the south the country wearing a face mask as he went so that's obviously brought a lot of criticism so people are going out more in mexico city the number of cases

is going up the mobility is going up across the country but one place in which it never stopped is called the central debt bastille's this is a fruit and vege market but that doesn't really do it justice this is the biggest fruit and vege market on the entire planet and it's where so much of the country gets its fresh produce from and it simply wasn't able to shut down for that reason the other day we went there and visited it and checked what was happening we've coded in the market have a look. this is the world's biggest fruit and vege market this entire world there bastos i think and it's become a hotspot for covert infections in mexico as if i. it's not hard to see why it's an ant hill of activity a city within a city as they say here we dress like this to go in knowing which way to us but most people here what with next to no protection when you're lifting this. even

a maslow's you down and as for not touching others a place gets off a 1000000 visitors every day this pretty no way that they can pick social services think going without one fish market officials say they have managed to lower the number of clients coming in during coded that they've had less than 500 cases but most of the people we talked to have been sick have they been picked from your fiction avoided a little more i want yes some in this is own around 9 or 10. a $100.00 has been able to but after a month in isolation you have to come back. here because money runs out in the little time i was out my savings got used up. and it's not just the $90000.00 workers here that depend on the market. this immense space the size of $400.00 football pitches is the beating heart of mexico's food chain pumping out produce across the country and that's why mitt scarcities government decided they couldn't

close it. but they have sent in health brigades 17 of them to patrol the market. but it's a drop in the ocean and it doesn't help that some here still don't believe in coded i don't know that that's come or not good they think oh this is a game they're like whatever nothing's going to happen to me. just outside of the centro communities enough struggling with the virus to. this is car you home 57 it's going down unfortunate nickname covert streets. black bows hang alongside the more colorful. residents told us about 20 people have died here not going to see this family shut itself off for a month when 3 of them got sick the street cemetery protocols and perhaps divine help none of died just as. many people live will go to work in the central

bass toss and from tree in the morning cause of passing through here to get their say must have something to do with it he's done his job here but even divine protection hasn't saved the streets residents from discrimination. then i was. going to if you're from kyle 157 a lot of people see you as lepers taxis don't want to take you you have to go and look for the doctors because they don't want to come here come back next door in the center customers have been staying away to. follow says from. he's had these 2 for years but it's in trouble there's a bit of water it's really hit us there are days when we just have to throw the producer we were 10 creates that we have to chuck out now traders say things are getting better numbers of picking up as the country begins to reopen the question is the 1st customers fresh coby cases to. that really is the question this balance that makes crews trying to strike between not

damaging the economy and people's livelihoods especially the poorest in the country and trying to keep people healthy really and at the moment that balance seems to be tipping a little bit too far in the direction of more coded the hospitals especially in the mexico city the capital where we are now are at about 80 percent capacity that's been slowly rising and i was talking to a nurse working in intensive care unit last night at the end of a shift and he said it's devastating because out of all of the people that he's seen on ventilators in the last 2 months only 2 or 3 have survived in other hospitals it seems to be a bit higher but between 60 and 80 percent of people nationally they're going on ventilators dying here so health professionals all across the country are sort of pleading with people at least when they talk to us and appear in our pieces saying please we just want a message to spread that people should stay home here unless they absolutely have to go out the question is seeing what the president is doing going on these tours

seeing all of the other people out in the streets as mexico city begins to fill up again if people are going to listen to that message or not all right john thank you very much for that update from mexico. afghanistan's health minister says the country is running out of hospital beds is the number of coronavirus cases surge health officials have warned that there is a disaster coming to the impoverished nation troubles governor says a 1000000 people could be infected in the capital alone so far there have been 357 confirmed deaths from over 1000 in the country china says it's won the battle against corona virus that has rejected accusations vital information it says its actions to contain the pandemic have been rigorous and effective the country has now pledged to make any successful vaccine it develops available to the whole world sarah clarke reports from hong kong. united and on message

6 months after it officially reported its 1st case of covert 19 china's state council says it has won the coronavirus war and its efforts to contain the outbreak have been a success. and china's anti has a democrat battle fully demonstrates his governance capacity and national strength the 37000 word white paper was split into 4 chapters with a detailed timeline of china's actions the state council described it as the biggest public health emergency since the founding of the people's republic of china it said more than 94 percent of infected people had recovered and rebuked international critics accusing beijing of concealing information and it called the accusations completely unreasonable so. the response is not a war of words but an effort to restore the truth we have no interest in the so-called information war in the battle against covert 19 but we must respond when placing smears against china the national health commission says the government released the genome sequence for the virus early 5 clinical trials are now underway

one of again the top stories on the al-jazeera news our testers in the u.s. have gathered for another day demanding change after the death of george floyd president donald trump has ordered the national guard to pull out of washington d.c. and new york's mayor has canceled the curfew. anti-racism rallies are spreading across europe in the u.k. city of bristol protesters tore down a statue of a 17th century slave trader and threw it into a river. disasters are demonstrating against president also narrowed several brazilian cities there is widespread anger over the government's handling of the

current virus allegations of corruption and police brutality. define the police it's the rallying cry sweeping across the u.s. activists have long advocated reinvesting police funding into other services but in the wake of george floyd's death support is ballooning as campaigners say police reform has failed america's policing budget has almost tripled since 1987 to $115000000000.00 that's despite a significant fall in violent crime campaigners say that money could be better spent on community services and some officials are responding to the call the l.a. mayor eric garcetti said he would cut up to $150000000.00 in a planned increase in funding to the l.a.p.d. however others fear there could be a backlash and a rise in crime and a recent you gov survey said 65 percent oppose reducing police budgets. meanwhile take

a look at what happened in minneapolis because the mayor of the city where george floyd was killed has been booed by a crowd of protesters who confronted him about police funds. so demonstrators were angry after jacob frey refused to withdraw financial support from the city's police department in the wake of floyd's death fray told the crowd that he could not support the call to defund the police but favors reforms instead he was then met with a chorus of boos and chants off say let's speak about this with philip mackerras he has a ph d. candidate it's yale he's a writer he's an activist with a focus on police budgeting he's joining us from new york thanks for your time with us on the al-jazeera news hour so you support this idea of defunding the police and you've written a recent opinion piece about it what does it actually mean is it as straightforward as it sounds. yeah i mean you know as you mentioned earlier all the time the

budgeting in the lot of times directed towards policing has expanded greatly and you know it's for many it hasn't translated to. public safety or to making communities safer and so really what they're called in the funding is about it's not just about the funding it's reinvesting those funds and community institutions and infrastructure on things like employment education in schools health care and all of the things that we know that make communities safe. as we can see because when we look at well resource areas it's not that they have the most polices that they have the most most resources but you know on the other hand is that acknowledging that that doesn't mean that balance and harmony conflict might not take place so it's also about developing emergency response models that exist outside of policing and that are alternatives policing that can respond quickly to deal with a wide variety of issues and actually maintain and manage and emphasize the safety and accountability piece as opposed to just the punishment control and printed

prisons and policing rates and on that point of off crime on the streets that you just mentioned i mean what would you say to those who say well if cities define police then violent crime will increase and also we were just referring to a recent you gov survey that shows that 65 percent oppose reducing police budgets so even though this idea is gaining momentum there's still a quite a battle ahead. yeah and i mean the thing is that. one people become sort of age to understand ideas from early on people are told that the police are there to keep people safe and they make community safe but statistically when we look at the data there's not much evidence to suggest that policing actually significantly reduces by link crime and to the contrary there's actually evidence that it can increase it. through sort of aggressive enforcement that creates other sort of ripples of that ripple effects and so you know to that the response is that the

idea that police stop or prevent violent crime isn't true we do know that things like you know employment and health care and actually developing the community does reduce violence but we also know that things like violence interruption which are programs that have you know been around for a while and some of which have no relationship so the police that there are far more it's more likely to reduce violence and also censor accountability and conflict management as opposed to the police who you know police respond to calls and they don't they don't intervene they don't prevent and often times it can escalate situations within communities and so that idea is it's not supported it's something that was constructed this idea that police equals safety you know in management is that not true and we see that police violence you know for many people you know is one of the forefront things that they deal with on

a day to day there are examples off police being defunded in some cities that others can follow. yeah i mean in milwaukee there was a campaign to liberate. which was successful and diverting fines daryn beyond policing was another example and so you know we there had been examples but it's sort of it's been an emerging movement and now we see the sort of explosion of people who are really sitting with the idea around what it looks like to be fine and also develop emergency response models that can in response violence because the funding policing and even minneapolis where they have announced that you know the city council is interested in this mental an entire police department what sort of is that the rights of many activists and organizers on the ground as to what does that look like to this mental department and to rican see about public safety to go through each and every situation and say what is the most strategic and what

makes the most sense 2nd sense of safety in a situation so someone is having a mental health crisis you know you send social workers and folks who can provide mental health and there are situations of extreme violence right where someone has to respond it doesn't preclude that doesn't mean that there doesn't have to be some sort of bury some very small class of people that might you know that a public service that can respond to incidents of violence rights you know with with that focus around the escalation and in the least on that but what will we know with with the powerful police unions over in the u.s. that have longer is this that any sort of reform and and they've in fact been effective at stopping any sort of change with their influence and their political clout how hard will this battle be. yeah i mean police unions do hold a significant amount of political power it's you know i think that people just have to continue to push and continue to put pressure on like that officials oftentimes would have been elected officials have you know ties with police unions and sort of

a path to clamor and gave in this sort of you know sort of dynamics and then gave us that that policing and sort of push for but people push forward and continue to put pressure on those who make these decisions you know there can be there can be a creation of a new space but it requires political will and also you know that there are even some union collectors that are even thinking about the question of do you know police unions belong there and so i think that there is this image this movement that sort of shifting the conversation i think the focus is it's continuing to put pressure from the federal and local levels because all of those levels found we appreciate your time philip mackerras thanks very much for joining us on the news hour on al-jazeera thank you there has been a fierce fighting in southern yemen between saudi backed forces and separatists fighters government forces have lost control of territory in the coastal province

of beyond just hours after seizing it the separatists southern transitional council is backed by the united arab emirates last month they launched an offensive to win independence from the rest of yemen. the united nations says it's received reports of looting in 2 libyan towns which were recently recaptured from warlords and if i have to go on thursday forces loyal to the u.n. back government drove have to his forces out of that hole and effectively ending his offensive on the capital tripoli since then videos have a bird's online reportedly showing shops being looted and the homes of families associated with have to being torched the government of national court has launched an investigation. on saturday the government rejected a ceasefire deal proposed by egypt its forces are pushing forward to seize the strategic city of sirte monic traina has more from about 140 kilometers west of sorts. in 2016 search was a stronghold for dosh for eisel they had control of the city for

a desert so the terrain is very different there's towns scattered across the road so the next town from here is about 30 kilometers so in in any advances here the g.n.a.t. will have to move ahead quite a large distance in order to find cover in the next town and this will you know slowly though it's their way into the city of sirte. cleanup efforts are still underway in siberia more than a week after a fuel reservoir at a power plants collapsed an estimated 20000 tons of diesel poured into her effort reffer inside the arctic circle near the city of norilsk waterways have been polluted so russian president vladimir putin has the current a state of emergency following the incident and an inquiry is underway and an employee of the plant has been arrested. the introduction of coronavirus lockdowns in the u.k. saw a significant drop in violent crime and there are fears the economic fallout from
