cosmetic companies around the world rely on mica to make their products glow but who pays the price for making the beauty business she. went to when east investigates. on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm come all santa maria here in doha and this is the news hour from al-jazeera just days after libya's u.n. recognized government made significant new games they had of the rival administration it's a war with iraq and moscow for talks. to and how do you think as we know it the many council votes to disband the city's police department after george floyd's killing in the u.s.

triggered mass demonstrations as protests highlighting one of america's darkest phases though as confederate monuments are attacked and more than 7000000 people around the world are now known to have contract to coronavirus but a record surge isn't stopping india from reopening. is for premier league champions manchester city hoping for a big win in the courtroom the club is a means of overturn a 2 year ban from playing in the european competitions. starting in libya this hour and a surprise move from the leadership of one of its warring administrations again who is the speaker of the parliament based in to brook in the east has arrived in moscow for talks remember he was seen in egypt at the weekend where his ally a warlord khalifa haftar announced a cease fire which was rejected by. the other government the u.n.

recognized government in tripoli meanwhile inside maybe half its forces continue to lose ground to that government which has been pushing ahead towards the strategic city of sirte well look at the politics in a moment 1st manic china west of sirte in abu ghraib has this report i've been speaking to miller it military leaders here on the ground and they've told me that yesterday they've made significant gains they've entered the western gates of sirte now that's known as an area the checkpoint 30 which is 30 kilometers west of sirte they have entered and are in control of this area they have also entered one of the al jazeera which is south of sirte this is a valley a valley of john of which is a natural a natural barrier of sorts so this is a lead into g. and a that's the internationally recognized government of national court control of sirte we've we can see that the red or the rhetoric among g.n.a.t.

politicians among among the military officials here has has changed and that's because they are now in a position of strength they feel we've seen drastic drastic changes since the since the support of turkey to the g.n.a.t. several cities the stronghold of of to huna belong to warlords leave or have to was taken and so there's there's a significant change and position for the g.n.a.t. now there are in in the southern. southern suburbs of sirte and waddle jarret and these are forces that know suit very well they've they've they've they fought in syria in 2011 against the late war more gadhafi they also fought in in liberating for what they say liberating sirte from dust that's i saw in 2016. ok so i want to go back now to. and how he fits into libya's conflict as we

mentioned he is the speaker of the administration and to brooke which rivals the internationally recognized government in tripoli he is as we say allied to the ward khalifa haftar he attended those talks in cairo on saturday with haftar and egypt's president but there were some big differences between he and how after when the war declared himself the sole ruler of libya more recently has been quoted as saying russia wants negotiations to resume with the tripoli government because it no longer sees a positive outcome to have to as a fence of afters been time to take over tripoli for more than a year now mahmud are the one who is our correspondent in tripoli what do you think we should read into this the fact that it is a good solid going to egypt does this suggest khalifa haftar is being pushed even further out will tomasky you mean

will the probably yes especially with the fact that have to for his regional and international allies it recently is it is not doing get. a great job if it in if in i mean in achieving the goals of the military campaign that he had last year to seize the capital tripoli in fact he has been losing good territory his forces have lost significant their towns and cities it is and also now as the government of national accord it has had experience was with where they have to be for when he jetted ceasefire proposal several times before and which it is up to in continuation of the military campaign and more death is of civilians in the capital tripoli. so the government on one side is so very

reluctant to get back to the negotiating table with have thought this is one second international a regional allies of have. therefore could be trying to replace him with a regular sort of especially given the fact that the 2 men. and. they have been recently not in excellent tournaments given the fact that they had differences which egypt tried to fix especially when the both. have to met was egyptian intelligence and defense officials the past week now concerning. recent mediation it seems that russia. could be trying to reconsider its allies in libya in its effort in its attempts to solve the libyan conflict peacefully now. whether or not i give us that it could be the best replacement for

have to this remains to be seen especially that many officials with the government here still accused of backing. in fact pushing for the military campaign launch of they have to his forces are in tripoli. it is our correspondent in tripoli with that update thank you and now suffer for today an award winning journalist and a libyan affairs analyst on skype from tripoli thank you for your time what's your view on 1st of all the fact that he seems to be on the ground and politically speaking being pushed sideways does he have much of a future. one of the times of the same month i don't really see much for him because i don't think the government the government nice and cold will be willing in the future who said down with him around the. story he lost so

much ground so there's no incentive to be able to actually have him. that's one thing the 2nd thing is the entire future of. being in libya whether it's the libya or some of the lion because he. says if you're on the mostly likely the future of the country. through body which has failed miserably. so is there room now to talk or for there to be more substantial talks if you have the likes of a solid solid from the un recognized government maybe there is room for negotiation there. well i think i think 'd i'm quite certain that the possibility of replacing mr hucker has already been discussed between the russians and the

egyptians and. the embers as i said before is not likely to be accepted. and one of this new. the coming days and weeks is that role of the will of the. new libya could very well come up with some kind of him and that will be accepted. if you like. the future but not after i don't really see any sense for the government as i mentioned in tripoli. they're going to be. rethinking what the libya. we focused so much these days on the politics on the personalities and of course what's happening on the ground as far as the actual conflict goes but tell me what life is like and in tripoli now after so long so

much upheaval and this long period of khalifa haftar trying to take over tripoli what is life like there. well i think i think the government is nice and of course the what we are like likely to have the next couple of days next couple of weeks or 3 in the ground in terms of the military conflict i think. forces will go back. to really good for 2090 before he launched the attack in tripoli and i think very much so that the russians and the serbs who are supporting different sides. in the conflict have already agreed in this so i don't i don't see the government core courses or the coalition militias that. chasing for all the way through the libyan egyptian borders in the far east what they see is the position is everybody

is going to the positions that they were holding. last year and that there could be some kind of. dialogue discussion if possible different things there would be a need for the. commission the 5 commission between the 2 sides of the ministry negotiation no need for that one or could be could go on. but again i have to stress here i don't really see the at least the hoax and the government's national likeness about chicago. accepting to sit down with mr right. tony thank you for joining us today from tripoli we do appreciate it leisure thank

you for having me. we had a brief report you saw it from out of china in west of sirte he's with us live now as well and i believe and we've been saying of a great you've been able to get even closer towards now that very important town. that's right come on our team was just in the western gate of sirte approximately 50 kilometers west of sirte the road into search we we saw numerous checkpoints that have been abandoned by forces loyal to the have to sow g.n.a.s. the g.n.a.s. forces the government national court forces are now inside the city center city borders approximately 30 kilometers west of the tripoli west of the city there also and what the el jarrett's as jonathan is south of syria so the southern suburbs of sirte we spoke i spoke to military leaders here earlier and and they told me

that we are going to go into sirte we would rather for the forces loyal to have to to withdraw so that the city doesn't see any destruction and civilians don't don't get caught up in this fight but they are adamant and they will enter the city regardless now when and how long it will take to enter certain pens really on how much resistance stays how much how much of a fight or have to force is going to take. when i asked when i asked the commander what happens after sirte you know he said we've sacrificed so much this fight isn't just about tripoli it's not about sirte we want to liberate the country from have to stay so they they they are they want or they say that they want to continue on whether or not that's a possibility with all the international. you know countries that are involved and

the political maneuvers that that that countries supporting have to. if they will allow that that's that's that remains to be seen but but what what is known is that janae forces are are adamant about entering certain ok on the ground in libya with monic trying to thank you for that. the rest of the day's news is coming up on this news out there is anger in brazil about racism and the government's handling of the corona virus outbreak no more delays in south africa reopen as restrictions loosen on in sport big in different countries didn't stop through the world's best to calculate skimp eating against each other and he will have that story look like. city council is in minneapolis a promising to dismantle and rebuild the police department in response to the death

of george floyd in police custody which of course sparked protests in the u.s. and russia around the world this report is from patty. a movement that shows no signs of abating across the united states another day of massive crowds demanding police reform and it appears in some places getting what they want in minneapolis where the killing of george bush an unarmed african-american sparked the protests the city council have pledged to disband the police department and try to figure out a new form of policing our commitment is to end our city's toxic relationship with the media outlets police departments to answer these things as we don't wait and wait for you them to. actually. face. 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 use 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 here and there doesn't need to be widespread change i don't think you need to reduce the munity to to go a step backwards because that would result certainly in police pulling back 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 when you stand up and. a 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 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 we can many wondering if it will result in big changes in the november election. monday morning in washington here is our white house correspondent kimberly how can i kimberly police reform let's talk about that 1st with seeing what many applets is proposing is there

a wider nationwide conversation about. absolutely there is a nationwide conversation and so given these weeks of protests now house democrats not wanting to lose the momentum are introducing legislation around 1430 g.m.t. but notably they're going to start that introduction with 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence in memory of george floyd and also those they say that have unjustly lost their lives in that bailing will be followed by a press conference where democrats expect to sort of unveil what they say needs to be done in terms of police reform or at least at the federal level they want to see a national misconduct police registry something that would have been valuable for a police officer like derrick chauvin who had many misconducts on his record and yet was still out training other police officers so they say this needs to change the practice of chokeholds that is something that needs to be abolished and also

the end of racial profiling and also something called qualified immunity that means essentially if you have an issue you want to resolve in the courts right now you can in a civil case charge a police officer or sued him or her so as a result these are all things that they say need to be changed so this is something this legislation will be addressing we should point out there's also going to be the important hearing this week and we'll be hearing from george floyd's brother so it's going to be an emotional week as the democrats try to really build on the momentum that we've seen on the streets now take it to the legislative level the man who lives in the house behind you kimberly i wonder about his reaction i'm thinking in the past he talked to police officers and saying they should use force and you know push the heads down when they get into the car and stuff like this is it it's a polar opposite to everything you've just said. and we're seeing the battle lines drawn in terms of an election issue come november particularly with

the u.s. president who of course has been responding with dominating the streets overloading the streets with a sort of a militarized presence wanting to really project strength and he's contrast doing that and really making the allegation that the approach being put forward by his opponent joe biden is one of weakness now the u.s. president will be meeting with law enforcement officers later today or 19 g.m.t. he'll be having a conversation about policing we also know that joe biden will be meeting with the family of george floyd today that'll be happening down in houston texas but what we see here in terms of the battle lines being drawn is the u.s. president essentially accusing the democrats of a weakness when it comes to this issue particularly these calls that are growing to defund the police department build up in communities addressing social ills and economic issues in fact the u.s. president has tweeted about this he says law and order not to fund and abolish the

police the radical left democrats have gone crazy so it's clear this is going to be an election issue come november as the 2 face off to try and win the white house and in the midst of all this where the american people stand well i can tell you the polls show least as of today that 2 thirds of americans are not comfortable with president trump's domination of the streets militarization of the streets in fact 8 in 10 americans believe that the protests have been largely peaceful ok thank you for all that can be held against. just a footnote here on police brutality there's been a protest against that in kenya actually after a report by a police officers were involved in the killing of at least 15 people during a lockdown in march the report also accuses police of harris meant assaults robbery and sexual assault police in kenya are often accused by rights groups of using excessive force and carrying out unlawful killing. while the number of reported

cases of corona virus worldwide has now topped 7000000 on the death toll is above 400000 but what's perhaps even more concerning is how in just 6 months it's become the largest cause of death on the planet this is the time line from a group called flourish they make visualisations so we're into february here and if you see down the bottom this 2nd from the bottom that sort of all of green colored bar that is coated 19 deaths so we're now going into march early march and it's still very low all these other causes of death are above it and then the acceleration begins it's going above poisonings fire deaths hepatitis conflict drugs straight up through there and as we move on now into april it goes past the big 3 of homicides the yellow bar mount nutrition and eventually the blue malaria which is the biggest killer or at least was until this year now into may and that just keeps on going so water all the sort of data tells us is that covert 19 is here to stay certainly until the vaccine comes and governments have to think about

how they will manage it for example despite a record daily high of almost 10000 new cases in india its governments decided to take another big step to open up the economy places of worship like this one in the capital new delhi are opening their doors shopping centers restaurants they're back in business millions of people remember lost their jobs when the lockdown was imposed back in march elizabeth piron is in new delhi for us and said things are well the south had better off to a slow start. where and one of delhi's most popular morals which opened at midday over 3 and a half hours ago but many of the shops i would say how often the shops here are still closed and there are very few customers so the most restaurants and village just places which have opened have guidelines like temperature checks sanitation tunnels which people walk through limited numbers and their markings all over the floor to ensure social distancing we've seen people go into villages places from 5

o'clock this morning india is a religious country where more than 80 percent of people say religion is very important to them so that was much anticipated but we have seen fewer people i would say at small ones with business owners telling us that they have very apprehensive about the reopening as the number of cases continue to rise and that's why the worst hit state of maharashtra other states including indian administered push me to additional jobs and have decided not to open such a stablish means even though the lockdown has had a huge impact on calmness on the economy and at least 114000000 jobs have been lost in pakistan the number of reported coronavirus cases has not supposed $100000.00 the infection rate increased after the holy month of ramadan ended and markets reopened doctors wanted tougher lockdown measures the government said the country couldn't afford to. further afield corona virus has now reached every

country in africa according to the africa centers for disease control and prevention there are nearly 190000 confirmed infections and 5175 people have died the hardest hit country is south africa more than 48000 recorded cases there followed by egypt with over 34000 egypt was actually the 1st country to record a case and africa's most populous country nigeria has the 3rd highest count of cases at nearly 12 and a half ounce and. is the nigeria country director for the one campaign a global movement that advocates to end extreme poverty and preventable diseases by 2030 she's on scott from a boojum we thank you for your time sarah these numbers have been increasing slower than elsewhere in the world but does it make you worried that the peak is not just yet to come but actually might be quite a while away the end of numbers are. really are the pace is not.

we are afraid that there might be a peak that is coming up but in spite of the health numbers and. as you mentioned an economy on the continent as well so as we see. it letting kids go back to school next year it is my place of worship the. markets are opening there are some restrictions but as the surgeon opened. we do expect to see another piece because more interaction it's. the nature of our economy. that there will be a lot more attention for desires pickup so beyond race and on the continent for corruption i mean we are the best part of 6 months into this global pandemic now has that given african nations time to prepare given that it has been a slower rate in many countries there. i think in many ways it has i do think

africa started quite aggressively building on the solidarity that the. leaders on the continents demonstrated and nothing's likely been very vigilant regional and we saw the african continent really have a spot building on that or seen that. people up on eyes asians and countries also in safety net so we've seen that maybe offering emergency grants of those who lost their jobs i'm just make sure i have over 2000000 people that he's on that do you know basically if how you tips to we see you got the permits in business it's. rescheduled this was a security contributions so we didn't see africa act quickly i do think that there is a context that we must recognize the public to get this whining or just be nice to her latest public or $2900000.00 living under a dollar a day meanwhile the standard definition of poverty is $2.00 a day we see the brooking institute saying $422000000.00 africans are living in

extreme poverty so we have a context the poverty gap that is why i would call that so i guess that it is some time to prepare what we are to get that's increasing is going to be places where food security we are connected to the global supply chain so there's very little we can do when the supply chains to present an economic economic apple culture protect its climbing sourcing for secure its rise and that's going to be something that we have to pay attention to very very quickly just thinking about your group in particular the one campaign where you've said you want to try to end extreme poverty and preventable disease by 2030 it's only 10 years away and everything you've just described suggests that's been given a 10 year time frame. you know when there's a hole that i love it always seems impossible until it's done of course it's a hard thing to look at and we can expect with here we are 10 years from now it's

a special time frame but the things that we can do and that's what we are doing you know as colin spurt out across the world the african finance ministers that's 102200 1000000000 dollars in debt relief and it comes to us we saw all round the world the u.s. europe china gives it comic stimulus in terms of 2 trillion over 2 trillion $1.00 to $1.00 country so we're seeing the entire continent pass through 402200 1000000000 dollars to relieve the crunch and that the hardship that colbert and poems and so what one is doing is campaigning alongside many other organizations for my latter almost believed for on multilateral goolsbee the private sector. to leave for african countries that's something we can do food security issues we're seeing there is a clarion call for more attention to security ringback and we're doing a lot of work on that we developed an africa called the trap and just how your

ventilator countries. i see the health context of countries because when we have that much of a spotlight on what is missing and what needs to be done and we are doing some actions alongside others we do believe that we can start making a dent it's the 10 year growth it will be it is both but as i as i said earlier it was impossible until it's done and we're trying our best to make sure that we and the fire holds up and i'm calling for important things in the property great to talk to you said they from the one campaign in nigeria thank you. thank you. evidence here with you whether it's early june why if we got rain here yeah right that sums it up c'mon we've got it we've got right on the on the wall we've got lots of rain in the forecast this is the time of north america to see some very heavy downpours you can see this massive cloud here that is of course cristobal

tropical storm which has now been downgraded to a tropical depression so it's weakening in terms of the winds but still concerns about the deadly storm surge which could affect the south coast particular around the city coast the kind of rainfall we're talking $142.00 millimeters of rainfall in my grandmama alabama average for the entire month of june is $162.00 millimeters of rain so a good chunk of their monthly rainfall in that short period of time so that's the position of the storm now you see to see it's just into that northeastern corner of louisiana and is going to sweep its way further north with some much of north america including canada will see a fair bit of the rainfall this was the scene in mississippi as we saw the very heavy rainfall affecting this particular part of the country going to see more heavy downpours here is going through the next couple of days the outer bands actually causing problems all the way across into the florida panhandle so as we go through the next 24 hours or so the system makes its way further northwards right upper crust sarkis so pushing up into missouri

a grassy pushes further north which crosses the lakes even ontario seeing some very heavy burst of rain over the next couple of days some parts could see the best part 200 millimeters of rainfall kemal miserable stuff but thank you everson evident folks with your international weather there in the news ahead new quarantine rules for foreign 'd arrivals in the u.k. we'll be looking at why so many see it is just a publicist. and in sports the former head of world athletics goes on trial in france charged with corruption and money laundering. 2020. let me ask you how worried you are about the increase in hostilities in yemen we listen this is the moment to stop all the 30 action this is the moment to concentrate on fighting over why didn't we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories the mountain on the edges there are there is no channel that

covers world news like we do we revisit cases mistake i'll just hear it really invests in that and that's a privilege as a journalist. 3 want a care bring your people back to life i'm sorry but dates on the best of al-jazeera documentaries the struggle continues but due to not use distance when one continues with australia's lost generation ever coverage from colonize citation is a really important issue suicide writes do a mind very high we're still twice the national average we want on al-jazeera. to not. only.

on the news hour here at al-jazeera these are the top stories the speaker of libya's to brooklyn parliament. is in moscow for 2 weeks just as forces of his ally the war khalifa haftar losing grounds to the un recognized government has been pushing ahead towards the strategic city of sirte. in the u.s. minneapolis is promising to dismantle and rebuild its police department in response to the death in police custody of george floyd which of course sparks the protests in the u.s. and around the world. and the number of reported cases of coronavirus worldwide is top 7000000 the death toll is above 400000 just 6 months covenanting has become the largest cause of death on. more than $36000.00 people are known to have died in brazil and as president continues to play down the seriousness of covert 19 people have come out to protest against his handling of the crisis but also about racism is more from

a latin america editor and senior. government opposing sue had until now banged on pots and pans from their balconies came out onto the streets of sao paolo on a large numbers to protest for the 1st time since the pandemic reached brazil their country now has the world's 3rd highest death toll from culvert night but they defied their grim reality because their list of grievances is getting long. i came out despite the quarantine because i have to fight for all of us both scenario is a threat to democracy and our lives many use the occasion to also show their support for the black lives matter a little bit. both an hour doesn't care about black lives 54 percent of brazilians of black and where the ones being hardest hit by covert and poverty that's why he does nothing. but the strongest message was against. what many brazilians see as an attempt by their president and his supporters to subvert democratic institutions

especially the supreme court which also not all threatens to shut down. this is a fascist and i don't want this country to turn into a dictatorship i already lived through that some brazilians i asked former brazilian and vaster to washington and the un rubin's we could put all if described and also not as a fascist was perhaps going too far. all 3 of. you need that and. using what you will need to go. in. and. talk in the military. in rio de janeiro a group of people so not a supporter is ridiculed his opponents calling them the anti fast or anti fascists meanwhile the president went out to greet his followers without

a face mask as he's been doing every sunday. sonata says he wants to arm brazilians to defend the country from internal enemies he is also named a retired military officer one of 3000 he's placed in civilian jobs as acting health minister. with the pandemic a deep economic recession and a political crisis all in high gear opponents are betting the time is on their side as long as brazil's democratic institutions can withstand the test you see in human al-jazeera. another protest spin the hills on an island off the coast of yemen to demand coalition troops leave hundreds marched in the city of on trial and the united arab emirates which is helping saudi arabia fight the hutu rebels in yemen sent troops to the on in 2 years ago protestors accuse the coalition of trying to overthrow the island's government. most new arrivals into britain are now required

to put themselves into quarantine for 2 weeks plain ferry or train passengers including british passport holders must give an address where they will self isolate or face a 1200 dollar fine the government says the rules designed to prevent a 2nd wave of infections critics say the restriction is just a publicist on which will be impossible to enforce more with jonah wanted as at london's heathrow airport that is the thing isn't it john or enforcing it because it relies on people doing it themselves. i think it's extremely difficult to manage it's extremely difficult to enforce but it is going ahead of course people will be required at points of arrival from all countries to give over that information their travel itinerary is to give over an address and contact details where they'll be required to go into 14 days of self isolation only allowed out for essential journeys to get food and medicine and

subject to random checks probably by telephone i don't think people will be ringing up door bells and so on and subject as well for breaches of that to a fine a fairly large one over a 1000 pounds it's a lot to ask it certainly will deter all but essential travel into this country for anyone who isn't on a list of exemptions essentially key workers coming in and it will do further damage to the travel industry to airports like heathrow behind me one of the world's busiest airports looking pretty bleak and desolate now of course and to the airlines and travel companies as well and it's given rise to very loud voices of criticism people who are quite what is the point of this blanket policy as i say applied to all countries including those and there are a lot of them now that have far lower rates of transmission of the virus than the u.k. does and in particular in light of the fact that the science that the government says that it's relying on to make this policy rather suggests that it would be better off targeting countries with

a higher transmission rate for obvious reasons of course that's what other countries did in applying this sort of policy in the past quite effectively they also did so much earlier in their relative epidemics and that's the other big question why now why at this point when this is something that ought to be done 2 or 3 months ago journey you raise the point specifically of the airlines you're there at heathrow airport how are they pushing back against these rules. well they've tried along with the travel industry in vain thus far to persuade the government not to go ahead the govern has gone ahead so ryan an easy jet and british airways own an i j those are the 3 largest airline owners in this country are taking the government to court launched legal proceedings in the hope of quashing this policy that they say will be ineffective it's simply too late illogical therefore and unfair and will do no more than kill off the nascent seeds of recovery of their industries take the comments of michael o'leary the ryanair

boss he believes this policy will either be quashed by the courts or simply abandoned by the government he says the british people are ignoring the quarantine quarantine they know it's rubbish he says his planes are filling up with people beyond july the 1st looking to go off on their summer holiday suggestive the british public may be thinking along the same lines as he is even the government seems to be looking at measures to mitigate its own policy there's talk of bridges with countries with those lower rates of infection to create safe travel between the 2 suggesting the government may self be looking for a way out all of which begs the question what's the point why now and has enough thought gone into the economic consequences for the travel industry on available evidence possibly not it's stuff john holl is live at heathrow airport in london thank you now senior u.k. cabinet minister is condemning protesters who tore down a statue of a 17th century slave trade in the home secretary pretty patel described it as

something disgraceful and an act of vandalism crowds and bristol rips the 125 year old statue out of the ground and into the harbor. is the leader of britain's main opposition labor party he says it was wrong to pull down the statue in that way but added that it should have been removed long ago one of his colleagues went further tweeting this good and if statues of confederates for toward the slavery and white supremacy should come down then why not this one someone responsible for measurable blood and suffering will never solve structural racism until we get to grips with our history in all its complexity and the end of the hash tag. black lives matter and raises the point there about these statues in the us built after the american civil war in honor of heroes who fought to keep slavery they've often been a flashpoint in the united states as they are now in cities such as richmond virginia this was the capital of the confederacy the 11 slavery states in the south

which lost the battle to break away protesters in richmond last week set fire to what's called the daughters of the confederacy a building the group dedicated to stopping the removal of confederate statues the statue of the confederate general william with him was pulled down on saturdays on descendants and even said this should have been removed years ago and virginia's governor announced plans to remove the statue of the confederate general robert a lee opposition to the proposed removal of another of his statues led to a violent white supremacy rally in charlottesville remember these pictures from 3 years ago well it's like tomorrow's jackson earlier who is an associate professor of african-american studies at georgetown university who told us the statue's glorify racism of the past rather than educate about it. no it's not very easy or simple as this should just that is not now yes do we need more members of this black people need know remember. these things that they are everywhere we go let me give an example the white house was built. yes where we are those demonstrations

city and the country it up a little earlier well we haven't even passed the 1st wave yet and we did a plan to ease restrictions there's still a possibility of a 2nd and 3rd wave coming. a lot of the health advice was not followed and it could be an exclamation of positive covenanting cases and even it is collation and the mortality rate of the public continues to have discipline. for many around the capital the restrictions brought economic hardship and they happy to see them eased but there's also fear that acting too quickly could put lives at risk just to washington al-jazeera jakarta. and he's back with his sport in a moment as manchester city hopes for a win the swans in the quarter and the civilians to overturn a 2 year ban from playing in. business leaders is to by no brass power.
