a new form of police seem. to be a toxic relationship immediately to a leaf department to leave things as we don't. it's actually. a new york city's mayor says he's focusing on the funding we will be moving funding from the n.y.p.d. to youth initiatives and social services he didn't say how much but it is the latest sign that the demand to defund the police is gaining traction at least for democratic leaders the trump administration is defending the heavy police presence and its handling of mostly peaceful protests are your and there doesn't need to be widespread change i don't think you need to reduce them unity to go a step back because that would result certainly in police building but i do not think that we have a systemic racism problem with law enforcement officers across this country do i

knowledge that there are some law enforcement officers that abuse their job yes and again we need to hold those accountable u.s. president donald trump is mocking the idea on twitter where he also announced the national guard troops he sent into washington d.c. will be returning home something the d.c. mayor has been calling for and the president is facing more criticism from leading republicans with reports former president george bush won't vote for him and neither will mitt romney who took part in the protests we did a voice against racism we did many voices against racism and again we're telling you to stand up and say the black lives matter and former top military leaders are also openly criticizing the president this is a moment as i said of moral clarity i think is very clear in the future whether we want to unify the country in a political division and in the political division that has existed now for years or whether we want to continue to divide the country that is the choice that the

american people have in front of them in the very near future on the streets calls for change with many wondering if it will result in big changes in the november election patty calling al-jazeera. to tell is from the brennan center at the justice she says at least funding is spent with little accountability. police sergeant have by and large been sacrosanct in many american cities right so not only are the en route at the least neiges increasing at a time it where crime is going down but you also have a great deal of a pass to the iraqis that it's made i mean if you ever try to look at a police department i did actually only look at the one and you are mostly you know it's really hard to tell where the money's going and frankly whether my son in front in some cases because they also get a lot of money from the federal government so there's a lot of issues around you know police budgets

a pact that they continue to rise at a time when as you say crime is going down at a time now where you know many look how these are they saying you know huge budget deficits in the wake of the 90 so all of these things i think it's a who will ask around this hall which is a really nice that you know we think about how we want to spend money as a city any city right we have to think about what we want to invest and obviously you know public safety and security is a really important thing but there are ways of getting to her security and simply finding a police force and it's the old guns and other debate right. the number of chrono virus deaths in brazil has risen to more than 37000 president bush has played down the dangers of the disease throughout the outbreak and that seeing thousands of people defying a lockdown to demonstrate against what they see as threats to democracy and health

public elizabeth so just talk us through the significance of what's really happening today and how people are viewing all this. to give you an idea we've seen people going to villages places from 5 o'clock this morning that's because india is a very religious country so the reopening of religious places has been much anticipated something like 80 percent of indian say religion is very important to them but it's a whole new experience with rules in place like no touching of i do the holy books no singing no groups at the temple behind me people are having their temperatures taken and a walking through sanitation before they enter and limited numbers are allowed to in short social distancing and must wear them off that all times those lost rules also apply to malls and restaurants which are also reopening today but what the number of cases continuing to rise in the country the worst affected state of maharashtra indeed administered push me have said that they won't be reopening

malls or religious places today we have seen a steady stream of people going to religious places all day it will be interesting to see if we see the same thing when wards and restaurants reopen and the economy has taken a huge. challenge at least 114000000 people have lost their jobs and more than restaurant owners say that they welcome the reopening but that there are still too many restrictions in place elizabeth as you say this all comes as india is reporting a record number of cases and also suspected under reporting a bit some. and what more do we know. so every other day we see the highest single day rise both in the number of cases and deaths there are over 250087000 that's. the worst hit states it's a tally of $82000.00 cases as high as that of china's now and would immediately. the total number of deaths in the country its capital and dandy the country's

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 case law in the senate not all that happens here every day people speak about it but finally people are speaking up people started to know by this current moment in time the 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 90. when he 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 was the one who you're looking into this is 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 pulled 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 discussions a starting which many people feel along. nadine al-jazeera. some

students are going back to school in south africa those in their final years of primary and secondary school are returning as the government eases its lockdown but it's happening a week later than planned after unions and governing bodies oppose the move with media milledge joins us live now from johannesburg the media so this is just a partial reopen the government says look most schools are ready but there are some concerns though out there what are they. well leading up to the weekend as you mentioned there had been that delay the major concern was the arrival of personal protective equipment and that schools would be adequately sanitized and historically in south africa there are a large number of schools that don't have adequate sanitation or don't have running water and in the last week the government has said that it's made sure that water tankers have arrived at schools that don't have running water that sanitation has been improved but at the best of times this really is a big concern we're at a school in johannesburg westbury primary school where more than 100 children are

expected to return the smore ning only great sevens at this primary school will come back in the months to come the government has said that it will try and make sure that all students will return at this particular school you'll see that children are lining up outside the school at least a meter between each of them and of course this is very different to what they're accustomed to they would normally just walk right in and go to class now learning isn't expected to begin to day schools are going to spend the day orientating children counseling them they also say getting them used to the snew system they're all wearing masks and as they enter the school their hands will be sanitized they'll take their temperature to ensure that nobody is exhibiting any symptoms of covert 19 and this is what the government says they'll be mass screening at all

schools around the country which will cover sports students and teachers children here say they're excited to be back but they are also novus and we also have a small group of parents waiting watching their children into making sure that their children are kept as safe as possible but this has been the major concern from parents and unions that not enough has been done the government says at least 95 percent of schools are ready and those that aren't. maybe students in those schools will then be shifted to neighboring schools or perhaps people who don't want their children to return to school just yet they have the option of home schooling but that is something that isn't necessarily exist simple to all students in this country for many a privilege because many don't have access to the internet and perhaps computers to allow them to have that kind of online learning but if schools like those that say they are ready and the hundreds of thousands of students across the country will be returning to their classes today already in john has been for me to thank you for

that new zealand says it's now free of corona virus after its last known patient recovered the country of 5000000 people has recorded more than 1500 cases since the outbreak began in march borders were closed to everyone but citizens and residents on a strict lockdown was imposed the government says all restrictions except border closures will be lifted this week but it's warning imported cases are still possible as it spread record be around the world we all saw people losing their loved ones and their livelihoods at a rate that was never acceptable to us and so here in new zealand we went hog and really with a single plan that headed you approve this particular lives into particular livelihoods what is countries across europe start to emerge from lock down the u.k. is about to enter its next phase that's 14 days of quarantine for most people

when there's a place in london they would go off on tour because they would find that actually transmission wasn't as bad outside london of course the global economy means that transmission has been the same everywhere so we haven't got some of the options he had but we do have his plays the play that i was rehearsing just before we had to close the tail. almost certainly in a time of lockdown because of plague and it really speaks of healing that can happen after a long period of not being able to do what you want to do plagues have come and gone and shakespeare's plays survived above all today he might have urged patience come want to come may says macbeth time and the hour runs through the roughest. job to stratford upon avon. the leader of the roman catholic church is appealing to people to follow coronavirus guidelines as countries start coming out of lockdown pope francis sounded good morning during a service in rome attended by several 100 people italy's gradual reopening now

people that are food insecure and with coated it's likely only to get worse unlike other countries many other countries afghans need to work every day just to put food on the table for that day so social distancing staying at home is not an option even if there are lockdown measures in place because the choice is between starvation or catching kogut and most afghans are going to risk over it if you look at the numbers of male versus female that have officially been tested positive for kobe that there are many more men but this could be because women have a difficult time accessing health care facilities for cultural reasons globally 75 percent of the health care workforce is female in afghanistan according to the human humanitarian response plan only 15 percent of nurses were female and 2
