i know when east investigates. on al-jazeera. we need to start on the differences and similarities of cultures across the world so no matter what you see we've been using the calendar for that matter. this is al jazeera. hello i'm adrian for the good in this is that he is live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. a farewell to george floyd family and friends pay their final respects celebrating a life cut all too short. i don't want a crown. that was right but when you have

a great powerful words from floyd's mace calling for an end to racial injustice. and how you can split the starring role and you can achieve justice which is it hot place civil rights leader reverend al sharpton rebuke in president trump for his handling of police brutality in america. we cannot leave just moment thinking we can once again turn away from racism and stings that are very strong at a video message from democratic presidential candidate joe biden reiterating the need for lost in change. george floyd is being laid to rest in houston texas to us weeks after he died under the knee of a minneapolis police officer his final words i can. and breathe became

a rallying cry for a global movement against racism and police brutality the ford family was joined by others who've lost loved ones of the hands of those meant to protect them is nice said that as long as she's breathing justice will be served. show no remorse while i smoke was so leave his body he bade him plead it many times just to get it but you just missed huldah. him proclaim last night for the african american. he's lucky. nobody hate crimes. so if it make america great again but when has ever been great in a video message played at the service democratic presidential candidate joe biden echoed those calls saying that too many black americans wake up knowing they could lose their life in the course of living their life in his eulogy civil rights leader

reverend al sharpton directed his anger 'd at the highest levels of government you see it now trying to figure out how you will stop the protests rather than how you will stop the brutality. you calling your cabinet in trying to figure out how it's going to affect the old won't rabbit and has grown of our lives. you can't spend a starring role and you can see justice when it gets it hot right. out zeros john hendren joins us now live from the fountain of praise church in houston texas where the services for choice held john took us through this funeral today. well george floyd may have died beneath a police officer's name but as the hers went on its way to the cemetery taking him to his final resting place police officers saluted him on the way and that came

after a service that was scheduled for 3 hours but lasted 4 and a half there were 4 pastors who spoke there you heard the reverend al sharpton with his eulogy there a little bit of it 2 members of congress from texas and a presidential candidate and we heard the message that he was a kind of accidental messenger for change that came from sheila jackson lee who said that he was on a mission even if he didn't know what joe biden the former vice president now presidential candidate spoke directly to george floyd 6 year old daughter giana and says when this is all over your father will have changed the world and we heard from ellen sharpton that he said that george floyd you could rest in peace his family would miss him but he had started a global movement that perhaps the most poignant words came from the simple words of his family this was his brother talking just

a short while ago. big. big and all. ever. that's all i know but we've got to be remember everybody going to remember him around the world when it's a world. so the question is so many people have is now that this funeral is over and everybody is on their way home will there be real substantive change and the answer isn't entirely clear but there are the beginnings of change a majority of veto proof majority of you know the council in minneapolis which you'll hear more from with natasha shortly after this has already said that they want to abolish the police department that's part of a national movement to defund policing it works out different ways in different

parts of the country most of the people who are talking about this are talking about diverting money from the police to other social causes but you're also seeing an act initiated in congress and you're seeing demonstrations across the country and today there were demonstrations in new york in senegal and in a number of other places but what they seek ultimately is structural change to end racism in police departments across the u.s. and to stop a situation in which one african-american unarmed dies at the hands of police i was there as john had reporting live from houston texas many thanks joe let's head over now to. a good name who is live for us in minneapolis minnesota and sasha what was the mood during the funeral would have people been saying to you about how they feel about it. adrian rain has thinned out

the crowd here somewhat i'm standing in front of 38th and chicago that's the cop foods where tourists floyd died in minneapolis police custody more than 2 weeks ago and throughout the day a steady stream of people came. it was a somber atmosphere very quiet in the street as people milled about talking quietly amongst themselves taking photos and soaking in the atmosphere one woman says this is a sad and somber day but she also feels uplifted she says what she's seen here in this neighborhood over the last several weeks is a multiracial multiethnic group of people coming together to unify and to push for change i spoke to another woman who said she was here the night that george floyd was killed she says she walked out she saw the commotion here on the street she saw him in the back of the squad car and moved on she says a few minutes later a friend called her and said they killed him she says she's been at

a loss as to how to process her feelings and what to say but she did say to me that god is now judging this country i spoke to an african-american man who's been coming here every day bicycling in from downtown for the last 2 weeks he says he needs to be here he says he's been reflecting a lot about the circumstances regarding floyd's death he says i'm a hairstylist i've been wondering about what if one of my customers unbeknownst to me passed me a counterfeit $20.00 bill and i tried to use it what i end up dead like george floyd the city of minneapolis is pushing forward in an attempt to build the mayor jake up for a establish a coalition that will help rebuild the city it's estimated $250.00 buildings were damaged at a loss of 55 $1000000.00 during the riots and for those who have don't have insurance that will cover the losses the city is planning to step in to help

minority business owners and property owners mayor jake uprise says that not only will this city rebuild he says he will make it his duty to ensure that the city starts addressing some of the systemic inequities that exists. because i am reporting live from minneapolis natasha that he thinks dears. u.s. president donald trump has been tweeting about his popularity ratings while taking aim at the democratic presidential hopeful joe biden he also suggested that a 75 year old protester who was injured after being shoved by the police could be from. the fascist movement of trump's tweet a strong sharp criticism from the new york governor who accused her of spreading conspiracy theories how reckless how irresponsible i am mean how crude i mean if there was ever a rapper a hand suppose done coming and from the president of united states at this moment

of anger anguish and anger what does he do forced gasoline on the fire if there was ever if he ever feels a moment of decency he should apologize for that tweet because it is wholly unacceptable let's discuss this now with al-jazeera as mike hanna who is live for us in washington d.c. mike tell us more about the condemnation the these comments by the president of cricket particularly from within his own party. well democrats have responded very much as you heard there cross the border republicans normally respond to controversial trump tweets with a i haven't seen it all you've got to understand that he's angry or something along

those lines that was the clear response we had from well known senators like marco marco cuomo however we did also hear from other senators republicans who in the past have been quiet such as john thune he's the number 2 senator in the senate or republican senator he said that's observations such as this need to be based on facts and this one clearly wasn't we heard from other senators saying that it was shocking so for the 1st time a few of the republican senators are breaking ramps on this responding very directly to a tweet by donald trump that most saw as utterly outrageous and i must point out as well on this day that in of addition to this particularly controversial tweet president tramples so tweeted about nomination process as in the senate but throughout the day there was not one tweet in memory or recognition of the funeral service for george floyd and what about joe biden's video appearance george floyd's

funeral how was that playing out within political circles there in washington. well it goes away to. the difference between the president and the man who will be standing against him come november joe biden has spoken to the family monday he issued that very very moving memorial speech which you sent by a video speaking directly to george for 6 year old daughter so once again many pointing out that the vice president a former vice president and would be president called contender showing a degree of empathy showing a degree of sadness showing a degree of relationship to what happened to george floyd whereas the incumbent president has at one stage tweeted out his sadness about george ford's murder but most of the time he has been lashing out at the protesters for example or

attempting to divert attention as it would appear he did in his controversial trip today so this is being seized on something to look at the election in november of the difference between the 2 candidates the one that would appear utterly self obsessed the other prepared to show some kind of empathy some sense of kindness as mike hanna reporting live from washington mike many thanks. they've also been protests in new york gabriel elizondo has been out with demonstrations with people have been watching again and george floyd's name. these are truly extraordinary scenes of thousands of protesters that are right now walking over the brooklyn bridge they're doing it on are of black lives matter and also to honor the life of george florey these are protesters that are quiet obviously very very peaceful and they're really sending a message a message to new york a message to the united states and they say

a message to the world that they will continue to fight for justice for george floyd and black lives matter they were also fighting over the last 2 weeks here in new york for a justice of people that have been victims of police brutality by the new york police department and on tuesday 2 things happened one is a new york police department officer was. short with assault for pushing a peaceful protest or in the very early weeks of the protest in new york and also new york state lawmakers have voted for a series of bills that would in theory make the n.y.p.d. more accountable but what you're seeing here is very much a message a message that is being sent that they want justice and they will not leave until they get it. this is the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program

calls grew in the u.k. to remove controversial statues of people linked to slavery and colonialist. the shock after the sudden death of burundi as president and couldn't see so. later in sports a teenager drives to victory with a little help from his mom. and seconds project to you steve. in the u.k. a statue of an 18th century slave trade has been removed from outside a london museum officials say that it was no longer acceptable to the local community and thousands of people have signed new petitions calling for the removal of another monument oxford university or a challenge reports. rhodes must fall is that the moment take it down put him in a museum in the world famous university city of oxford anger that this statue has

rekindled looking down from the facade of oriel college is sessile rhodes one of the most controversial figures of britain's imperial age it is a bastion of white supremacy and racism and it's inaccessible to get down rhodes the colonial believed in the primacy of the anglo-saxon race over all others particularly the black africans he ruled over the ilo. i am but the wealthy benefactors foundations still bring students from around the world to study talks but it's unsurprisingly a conflict because south african road scholar marotta he called. for many many years the race was awarded to white man which is essentially the work and forced labor of black people sponsoring the education of white men to colonize and colonize the rest of the world. black lives matter has reenergized the roads must

fall campaign began in 2015 inspired by protestors in south africa. a statement from oriel college says we believe black lives matter and support the right to peaceful protest as a college we continue to debate and discuss the issues raised by the presence on our site of examples of contested heritage relating to settle roads but the current mood is building pressure orks with city's council leader recommends oriel submit a planning application to remove the statue. elsewhere pressure has already led to action in bristol over the weekend protesters tore down a statue of slave trader edward causton and threw him in the river in london north already has removed slave owner robert milligan from his plane in the docklands on tuesday previously protected symbols of britain's racist and imperial past of becoming intolerable to every country really has sort of national myth and you know kind of nationalist sense and recent perhaps in that respect is no different but it

does of course have a unique situation in terms of the british and such knowledge and parlance such a time the death of george floyd is changing the way many countries look at history and race so different place is different figures in oxford it's sessile roads in bristol it was edward colson in belgium it's king leopold in the united states it's a robot feeling but the principle is universal and it's been given extra far off by black lives matter historical figures of white supremacist they say should no longer be given the supremes positions in our towns and our cities always have and how does their oxford. the belgian city of and 12 has removed a statue of a colonial colonial era king a week after it was set on fire activists of long petitioned to remove statues of king leopold the 2nd but the mess says the statue was not being removed due to the outcry but because it's become a public safety issue leopold was belgium's longest serving monarch millions of

people were killed on the his brutal reign over a vast region of africa that includes modern day democratic republic of congo thousands of people gathered in central paris to pay tribute to george floyd they expressed solidarity with the u.s. protesters and denounced racism and police brutality city officials allowed the event to go ahead despite a ban on public gatherings due to the coronavirus pandemic in dakar dozens of protesters gathered to pay tribute to george floyd senegalese authorities made an exception for the rally and let it go ahead despite coronavirus restrictions al-jazeera is nicholas hark was that we're on the most western point of africa. facing the atlantic ocean on the other side is the united states of america it's by here by ship then men women and children were shipped out as slaves this is a place of memorial and this is where people have gathered to protest police brutality

and to pay tribute to george floyd now in normal circumstances a protest like this would not take place this is a state of emergency because of the outbreak and yet authorities here have allowed this protest to take place because they feel that what's happening globally has in effect a resonance to many senegalese here police arrest meant every kind of racism at all levels happens to any black person in the western world so i think it is about time in 2020 that it stops and then we fully recognize i'm just human beings and citizen of this here because this is the year of return where west african countries are inviting african-americans who want to to come and visit this region not only that to resettle in the last year 750000 african-americans have visited this area many of them choosing to actually settle here ghana is offering them

special status among the protesters here some of them have a message to those african-americans the united states who want to move away from police brutality and racism that they face in their country. welcome home. welcome home come back you know you're welcome this is your country where you have people. we need you here you have your place we love you. the toppling of statues of men responsible for slavery or for calling a zation responsible for the killings of millions of people in africa has been welcomed by many here governments here have been asking museums in the west for years to return artifacts has been looted on the african continent and so it's part of a greater movement of people wanting to reclaim history too often ignored. the president. has died at the age of 55 just weeks before he was due to step down from

office a government statement says that he had a heart attack but the speculation that he may have contracted the coronavirus. looks back at his life. came to power with a pledge to heal a divided government but his time in office was tainted by a crackdown on his political opponents the former rebel leader became president in 2005 as part of a peace deal that ended a years long civil war that i swear to ban all ideologies of ethnic division and genocide i swear to work for the development of. including visa won a 2nd term in an uncontested election in 2010 but rights groups and opposition parties accused him of restricting political freedom 5 years later breaking constitutional norms and despite global condemnation he announced his intention to stand for a 3rd term. what is happening now is the fault of the people who are not

on our side but it is going to make us stronger than ever whatever happens will be their fault not. the move sparked mass protests and violence at least 1200 people were killed and 400000 fed the country in the run up to those elections there was an attempted coup while the president was on a visit to tanzania and couldn't seize not impose a further crackdown on his political opponents the un and human rights groups accused his security forces of torture beatings sexual violence and murder despite it all he won his 3rd presidential time in july 2015 but the violence continued as did his standoff with the international community became the 1st country to terminate. membership of the international criminal court offered started

investigating allegations of abuse. in 2018 including these a held a referendum to extend presidential terms from 5 to 7 year mandate that's what we were told. you should listen to those who tell you to vote yes if they are those who tell you no then listen to them as well only you know what's in your heart. and last month brunetti held its 1st competitive presidential election despite the krona virus pandemic but again it was mobbed by allegations of fraud and harassment most international observers while vand off the 15 years in power including diesel was due to step down in august taking pride in the fact that his government despite its troubles brought peace to burundi. we're going to weather update next here on al-jazeera that mexico is reopening despite a surge in cases and deaths but it's growth of virus we speak to the man at the head of the country's response. and we'll look at the impact that covert 19 has had

across the west a very different story it is hot it is dry the winds have been particularly strong and in fact this and all the way from southern california across that towards texas but this brush fire is one they've been fighting very hard over sea trying to keep it under control so as i say it will stay like that for the next couple days it'll be halted will be dry we will see showers pushing in across the pacific. weston just wanted to scattered throughout the mountain region but this is really the main area of weather cristoval will get caught up in this fun which is sliding through that she will merge it'll be a powerful storm system working its way across the great lakes and pushing up into eastern areas of canada we could have some very strong winds of this storm at about 10115 kilometers an hour and of course the same amount of time a huge amounts of rains we could have some flooding. from. june 19th 67 sixty's they redrew the map of the middle east just record a victory of the israeli army in that war was the greatest tragedy in the history

hello again this is the news hour from al-jazeera adrian forgive me here in doha with you the headlines more than 2 weeks after his death george floyd about his killing spot protests across the u.s. has been laid to rest at a funeral service in his hometown of houston floyd has been remembered as a loved family member a mentor and a symbol of change. thousands of people in the u.k. of signed a petition to remove a monument to british colonialists sessile words of oxford university pressure is growing to reassess historical works after justice tore down a statue of a slave trader in the city of bristol. and burned this president pierre and put in caesar has died from a heart attack just weeks before he was due to step down from office there are doubts over his cause of death amid speculation that he may have been suffering

from covert 19. u.s. democratic leaders have proposed a bill demanding sweeping police reforms house majority leader study hoyer says that they're aiming for a vote in about 2 weeks time but the package will likely draw opposition from republicans and police unions the bill calls for greater transparency of police behavior of more police accountability for human rights violations it includes the limits on legal protections for police a ban on chokeholds at a national database of complaints against police reform package would also eliminate unannounced police raids and make body and dashboard cameras mandatory for federal police earlier my colleague. spoke to democratic strategist eric plummer and steven rogers a member of donald trump's campaign advisory board they discuss the pros and cons of police reform in the u.s. . at the end of the day right now we are dealing not with an issue of good apples

and bad apples but really to stomach issues that have been pervasive here in the u.s. for 'd honestly since its founding and right now based on what we've seen in terms of people going into the streets and protesting the things they demand that we remove these inequalities in terms of how we how the justice system treats black and brown comics is really important and so i think we have in this moment the opportunity to briley make a difference the reality though is that it's going to take not just democrats but republicans to actually effectuate that change and more importantly it's going to take actually having someone in the white house who not only understand the issues but actually want to address them and you know as it stands right now we have not seen that leadership from the white house hopefully we will because the issues are just way too important and this moment is just too important for so many americans

and people across the world stephen as derek was saying that we've seen a huge groundswell of public opinion in favor of police reform will there be support for this democratic bill amongst republicans. i would argue the point that there is a groundswell of support in favor of police reform but wade the democrats are beginning to advance these ridiculous reforms look i was around in the seventy's the eighty's the ninety's it's the same old story with the democrat party simply making proposals that don't work now keep in mind that we had 800000 law enforcement officers who do a very good job in this country and indeed there are bad racists officers and they should be removed i have said that the individuals protesting and they have every right to and i think they did a good job the protesters did they work within the confines of the law and they have a terrific cause and it's a good cause however saying that the focus of attention should be on the courts it

should be on the politicians who have created an atmosphere that is dividing everyone so my point is that these reforms are going to cause more bloodshed especially in minority communities there won't be any police left by the time they get through with the reforms they want to advance the decades incidents of excessive force being used against black people have led to talk of reform but little action and knowledge 9091 video of rodney king being beaten in los angeles was broadcast around the world the acquittal of offices involved spot days of rising in february 2012 trayvon martin was shot dead by a member of a neighborhood watch group that led to the launch of black lives massa that was several high profile deaths blamed on police offices in 2014 including eric bana michael brown and 12 year old to mayor rice in 2015 freddie gray died in a police van in baltimore one in the custody of 6 offices just over a year later

a lot of castiel was shot and killed during a traffic stop. rosa clemente is one of the early volunteers with black lives masses she explains why the protest movement following floyd's death is different from previous ones what we've seen in this past week and now these last 2 days on the media is a slew of other police killings that now their body camera footage has been released or the lawyers of the victims feel comfortable that this is the time to release so there's a video that just came out of the 4 yo man his name is happier from texas he didn't do it because lights and the police pulled him over and they ended up killing him and we've seen subsequent video coming out in the last few days but what we really have is not a racial consciousness awaking within a younger generation again a multiracial gender binary break in younger generation and i want people to

understand that here we have a my daughter is 15 so in her a lifetime not only has she seen numerous numerous amounts of killing we have mass incarceration gentrification student loan debt a climate catastrophe a younger people right now in our covert they know that the only choice they have is to not only be in the streets but to be organizing and be part of a movement that will keep the pressure on to do what we want which is to fund police departments and in later abolish the system of policing as we know it because it does not protect anybody and it has not worked civil rights leader reverend al sharpton didn't have a wide ranging yearly unity at the funeral for george floyd today he recounted a possible story highlighting that although much has changed in america a lot of work is needed to address ongoing racism i was working out you know work

out in mourning. man said to me white fella in the place i was working out they were how i see you on t.v. and you always talk about race i said yeah. he said but haven't we come a long way i say yeah but you gotta understand how far we have to go and you gotta understand how deep it is he said what do you mean i said about 89 years ago newspaper in new york did a background on my family and they found out dr wright that my great grandfather was a slave in elendil south carolina i went down there with the newspaper know the press and we went to the graveyard and my great grandfather was alone by the family of strong thurman the segregationists and i went to the white church the 1st baptist church and in a graveyard there was just there with a tombstone and

a whole bout i'd say about a quarter of the cemetery the tombstone being crowned was firm and isn't shot and i said well you mean all of these they said wait a minute the plantation your great grandfather was about a mile away they buried the slaves there they only put pebbles over to agree so it occurred to me that every time i write my name sir that is not money that's the name o. who own my great grandfather that's how deep grace is that epic time i write my name right now american history of what happened to my people i can't talk about what my great grandparents big they were in slavery and we're still being treated lester not us

and until america comes to terms what it is done and what it did. we would not be able to heal because you would not recognize in the war let's move on to the coronavirus pandemic the united kingdom is one of the worst hit by the pandemic total confirmed infections are heading towards 300000 but questions remain over the actual death toll the government puts it of almost 40900 the tally by reuters though says that it's reached nearly 52000 the news agencies figure also includes suspected cases which it says give a more accurate picture because testing was scarce early in the crisis but it could be even higher than they're asked an expert from the government's office for national statistics says that around 64000 more people than usual have died during

the pandemic chris smith is a consultant for all of just at cambridge university he says the actual death toll is still a mystery who knows and actually our chief medical advisor chris witty has been a pains to emphasize throughout this that it could be very misleading to just cherry pick numbers or to look at one moment in time what we really are going to have to do is to look at what's called the excess mortality or excess deaths and that will involve doing this looking backwards because we'll have to look over a year we know roughly how many people are expected to pass away in any given period and therefore we can see if compared with previous years any particular time in the year or across the entire year we see an excess number of deaths and that excess would hardly be hard to not attribute to cohabit so it's that number that will be the magic number when we look back across the year and obviously we're not there yet so we're not going to know what the true position is also means we can compare how the u.k. has fared against other countries. brazil's government has restored all coronavirus

statistics including numbers of deaths to its official websites after being ordered to do so by the country's top course the health ministry suddenly removed the data at the weekend and said that it would no longer add to cumulative totals for deaths and infections more than $37000.00 people have died in brazil and the peak of the outbreak may still be to come the world health organization says that mexico could soon reach the height of its outbreak but the social distancing should continue until there's a vaccine the country has begun to reopen despite a surge in cases and deaths the country's deputy health minister is leading the response but his methods have been controversial to say the least zeros john home and sat down with google opus got tell and ask him if mexico is all a knife edge in mexico as in every country though when us start opening the takes hold back again we're prepared to

mourn it to our own they leave bases where they were in these stinney state in the each locality where. if we see things are not going with we must act what do you think of the president heading out on tour while you are telling everyone please. stay at home the president is working is doing his job does it not seem to you that well help me out a bit here i'm trying to get everyone in the house if it's not an absolute emergency set an example i understand i don't understand the position i may sympathize with the concerns people sometimes feel about that but at same time i'm aware that there's this over reaction to what they were any breath is a precedent i guess but this president dos do you sometimes regret not going

harder on the corinth at least in the period when mexico was in in real lockdown you couldn't get this a bit more under control them if you are detained shown that may arise from law enforcement the use of police or military force is sort of a perfect way to have a clash we remove the incentives to go out you have no job to attend because it's close you have no school to attend because it's closed why would you go out it will make sense the problem with that is the people are still going out and they and they have been all through the corps and that's correct it is well known they community mitigation has its limits as well as conventional has its limits the world health organization. there are to this code it was press test that's what you've got to do you've gone the other way we say it

this kind of phenomena is cannot be measured directly incommensurable therefore we have no respect asian to make sure by direct observation the real boards in of case. latin america is not the worst hit region in the pandemic but the caribbean island nation of cuba is bucking the trend it's called 9 straight days now without a virus related death of zeros not reports on what it's done differently. this is become a relatively normal scene in havana cuban doctors going door to door screening for any symptoms of coded 19 feet of them on the it's a strategy that has apparently paid off monday morning 9 days without any new coronavirus deaths in the country. the most of whom i believe that these results are based on or care protocols they are based on the facts 1st early detection is

important because we can do that take the person would several days of evolution of the disease would cyril days of symptoms the possibilities are decrease an early addiction is achieved through screening through case funding in. many latin american countries are struggling to curb coronavirus contagion but compared to the rest of the region cuba is miles ahead when it comes to containment i'm white i don't know i'm not we see once again that despite having the difficulties we're going through our country has managed to control the epidemic and has achieved figures that are reasonable relative to the rest of the continent and despite not being developed countries we've achieved good control of the pandemic. the streets of the cuban capital are once again filling up albeit with a great amount of care as many who bench are outside do so wearing face masks which have become mandatory by the government refusing to wear one could lead to a fine or arrest. cuba's success in mitigating contagion is being seen as a ray of hope for the region though international health experts warn that in other

parts of latin america the hardest days are still to come so there's a lot of work that needs to be done and we need everyone to remain focused on achieving the goal at hand which is stopping this pandemic which is suppressing transmission. and saving lives and there's a lot more work to do so let's celebrate the successes that we do have but let's remain focused on the remaining work that needs to be done because unfortunately this is far from the. with no new reported deaths in over a week authorities have declared the outbreak in cuba under control when rigid upolu. in yemen the world health organization believes that far more people are affected by the corona virus than official reporting shows it estimates the deaths are in the hundreds of cases in the thousands yemens officially recorded 112 deaths and 496 cases the crisis is further damaging a country that's been wracked by civil war for almost 6 years now officials say the
