this reality only has a lot of exposing. their rhetoric and. they cannot manipulate the listening post your insight going to the media to sierra ready. this is al-jazeera. however i'm glad this is a news hour live from the heart coming up in the next 60 minutes a race equality demonstrations begin across the united kingdom but there are fears of a confrontation with far right groups. a video emerges of a canadian indigenous chief be assaulted by police prime minister trudeau calls for an investigation. and fears of a resurgence parts of beijing back under lockdown as new local cases of coronavirus
4:01 pm
all reported. nepal parliament approved changes to the country's map to include areas under indian control. and sports says football returns in italy after 3 months out but it's a frustrating night for christiane. so then far right protesters in london have been involved in clashes with police hundreds of people gathering near the house of the pollen these are live pictures in fact from trafalgar square you can see police there and i'm not sure what is being fired that might be tear gas a little plumes of smoke going off the far right protesters among the fairly limited crowds very scant crowds there at the moment as protests go alongside the anti racism demonstrations who are also marching in the city let's go straight to
4:02 pm
jenna help alongside the river thames our house of parliament behind you what picture you're getting. what we were there until a few minutes ago inside parliament square nic we've made a prudent group treat if you like across the river now pretty ugly scenes in the last couple of hours certainly those protests began maybe 34 hours ago but in the last couple of hours have descended into quite considerable chaos as well several 100 up to 2000 according to some estimates right wing and far right protesters have mounted a series of confrontations with the police as they tried to make their way up whitehall towards the center top they were blocked there bottles and cans thrown at the police there they were pushed back also at other lines in other access points to parliament square confrontations have taken place there essentially here in a counter demonstration to as you said those anti anti racist black live matter the protests to be going on for the last 2 weeks in solidarity with events in the
4:03 pm
united states and more recently of course looking at institutional racism in this country and they are here they say predominantly to protect the statues after some were de faced in demonstrations last weekend notably winston churchill statue now boarded up and they have congregated around wilson churchill statue where much of this violence has taken place in the last couple of hours there's also a sort of pretty. hostile focus on the media several news crews have had gear taken away from them at least 2 young people who looked like journalists to the crowd were attacked and beaten which is the point at which we made our retreat or even ritual or. excuse it's the police. force here now remember this is a crowd made up of members of britain 1st the hierarchy of annihilation there are also war veterans there's a lot of evidence of regimental berets and badges being worn and football club
4:04 pm
supporters and many of them of course supporters of rival football clubs which makes explain the scenes of. within the crowd itself the police have done what they could to try and prevent violence between rival demonstrations taking place today what they've ended up with is a lot of violence taking place within this one far right demonstration in parliament square right and we're looking right now at pictures from trafalgar square not far from where you are you can see right through a line of police officers there and protesters learning the steps leading up to nelson's column how are the police approaching this so they're trying to keep the protests the part where there is a point to which i think is down whitehall is in it which is the political heart of london where they converge. you know but what we haven't been to trafalgar square as yet trafalgar square was supposed to have been under new conditions implemented by the police on friday night the end point of the black lives matter march and demonstration that was to have gone ahead today but was then canceled on friday by its organizers but the police said they felt it was likely that
4:05 pm
a significant number would come out anywhere anyway so i can't attest to what's happening in trafalgar square but yes the idea was that they would then be allowed to approach whitehall from either end of whitehall in that they would be a barrier at the north end of police and a barrier at the south end of the police essentially keeping the 2 sides apart the police say they have sympathy with the need that protesters have to mount these protests they have pointed out that tends to be these are illegal protests because of the complete and utter lack of social distancing going on and they say that arrests will be carried out if these strict conditions aren't adhere to including a curfew at 5 pm this evening but as i say it's already evident by what's happening in parliament square that they haven't managed to avoid violence and i don't see any sign of that abating anytime soon yeah i was going to say you mentioned social distancing them and all this is going on with the specter of grown a virus in the background. the specter of corona virus in the background and indeed you know infection numbers and infection rates
4:06 pm
perhaps not looking as positive in the u.k. as they were only a week or 2 ago that famous our number that everybody keeps a close eye on seems to be edging upwards and i think there is a legitimate concern about the sort of crowd gathering is taking place in the numbers this week and i should say nothing like the numbers last week and also last weekend those black boxes protesters in much bigger numbers were almost all wearing masks here there is absolutely no evidence of that virtually none of them wearing masks these far right protestors there's also an awful lot of alcohol around on a sunny saturday afternoon that makes for a pretty toxic mix or a general even there for the moment we'll be back with you as things go on to do not just remind of there we're looking at pictures of trafalgar square rallies taking place across london. to rival protests converge in the heart of the city let's hear now from so you get to go who's with a group of black lives matter protesters. it is
4:07 pm
a considerably smaller gathering and that is taking place here in central london the black lives move in a party because the leader of the london black lives matter organization has called this off officially instead concentrating on getting people to go to the local demonstrations marches instead to raise awareness of the issues the other issue of course is the fact that there is a counter demonstration taking place in london this saturday that a far right organizations now they have been really very very very violently critical of the black lives matter move and there's already been scenes of tension between those far right organizations and the police that protest itself meanwhile what the black lives matter movement here want to do is focus on the issues rather than any possible eruptions. between them and the far right organizations. would of course it was the death of an african-american man george
4:08 pm
floyd his death in the u.s. that last month that sparked this global backlash against brutality and systemic racism but the conversation is moving beyond current issues to the influences of the past and as a result reminders and symbols of colonial history of being torn down and vandalized as we've been hearing a statue of the former british prime minister winston churchill has been boarded up that took place on friday ahead of these protests that we've been seeing this weekend a production of the long running american t.v. show cops that's been canceled amid claims it glorifies police brutality and the academy award winning 900 $39.00 classic gone with the wind that's being reedited to include context around racially offensive depictions of african-americans well earlier i spoke with ashoka who is a contributing editor of navarro media in the u.k. and she told me decisions to cancel sense of films and t.v. shows a detracting from the real issues. it's always welcome when we've revisit popular culture and ask questions of it and interrogate it because that's how we achieve
4:09 pm
societal progress is not by keeping things the same and preserving it and aspect of aspic it's about asking those difficult questions however this hasn't been a demand of the black lives matter movement in the u.k. i've been covering these protests since they began not one placards not one chance you know not one t.v. show mentioned any of these sitcoms and so what we've ended up with is institutions that just still very much white dominated demonstrating their inability to properly engage with the poor dames of this movement they react in a panicky way and our media culture which is just obsessed with talking about itself shumpert on these stories at the expense of the issues which the activists are wanting to talk about right is that how do you think these these institutions should be reacting should be they look be looking not at say whatever program they should take off air or what should stay on to be more committed to say whoring more black stuff well absolutely if you look at the british media landscape this is
4:10 pm
about 91 percent white it is not representative of martin diverse burthen and that's homogeneity has been reflected in editorial decisions and it's not just about race it is also about classes dominated by privately educated people and i would much rather you know looks of these leading media players whether it's a.b.c. or whether it's sky whether it's netflix or whether it's any other platform saying ok what we're actually going to do is look at our hiring practices and look at what we commission and diversify it like that rather than i pick up a new front in what is quite frankly the most or in culture war ever but perhaps it should be a focus of the cultural elements of this should be a focus of black lives matter because there is a very real debate in culture isn't there about because culture reflects life after all about what is it. acceptable if you look at gone with the wind which sent to me
4:11 pm
sentimentalize is race really racism and slavery and then you got 40 tiles which makes a mockery of race is meant to kind of different entities and it's got to be analyzed but i agree with you it certainly should be analyzed and recontextualized the thing about fawlty towers for instance is that racist rant which major talent goes on it's been edited out of most of the repeats for years and was only when t.v. took down that particular act so today could do the same thing again that you know there was this few rory which was completely confected so i'm not saying we shouldn't talk about these things at all but we should ask ourselves why. in particular establishment media outlets are much more comfortable talking about those issues rather than things like the way black people are overrepresented when it comes to the prison system or black people are 8 times more likely to have a taser discharge from them by british police forces these are much more difficult questions. you know everyone would prefer to talk about you know is fawlty towers racist or not people don't want to talk about our prison system moving away from
4:12 pm
the t.v. in the film elements of things we've also been focusing on monuments and we've been talking about was in church will start to being boarded up ahead of these riots or the protests that are taking place today i should say what do you make of that but what is this what i've come from i think all the heritage and every time i try and talk about the bengal famine and winston churchill's role in it i find myself forced into having to talk about world war 2 and the achievements of great britain during that time but every time someone talks about world war 2 they're not forced into the position of having to talk about the famine and what that reflects is that we have a very very narrow way of understanding history in which the activities of some of these figures whether it's winston churchill or whether it's someone like you know edward colton. that it's whitewashed and we tend to memorialize certain figures in order for we can forget some. the things that they really did and it speaks to i think the poverty of the curriculum in this country and that her experiences of
4:13 pm
formally colonized people has not been adequately reflected in our education system or indeed popular culture at large you know i grew up thinking that winston churchill was like the nation's jalili granddad even though as home knowing what the family was a kind of as a prime minister's says that police video of the violence arrest of a prominent indigenous chief is shocking and raises questions about the use of force thus cam video is being used in a legal challenge to criminal charges filed against chief. the police say they use reasonable force after he resisted arrest for an expired license plates in march i think everyone who's seen this video has serious questions about what exactly happened about how it happened this way and about that use of force that we saw that's why we're calling for an independent transparent investigation that will get the answers that so many question people are asking right now the events that have

of nations like china and india and that we are looking into the oil has ended with as it were chinese expansionism and as a result this is exactly why the nipple of the government is now speaking as a tension in the of robin dia judges all of this matter and it always uses the specter of the chinese god it was used and i think the indians are not biting that's where we are i mean the indians of say no we are going to go ahead with this road ok we have a problem with that we've done this but this is not new because i think india's attentions are focused on as i said the story on lovelock and the chinese and caution that so in a way this is a game of protection and distraction in which is now try and related between china india and of course so i think in the fields that yes it can kind of ignore for the
4:39 pm
moment and ignore ignore those complaints by robot but having said that it is also a step change in a historic all relationship or a special relationship between nepal and india because in a way india has kind of the great power and the government there are saying going to know we exist we matter because we can do it with china and i think we need saying more but really so i think that that's really what this brinksmanship is about it's about nepal seeking attention from india and just saying well we've got other and bigger fish to fry. pakistan's government has announced its new so called people friendly budgeted spain did avoiding the 1st recession there in 68 years many are struggling with rising inflation high unemployment and the economic damage of course caused by coronavirus his own binge of aid has its report. as politicians in pakistan met to discuss
