7:05 am
to a fire being set in the restaurant itself we have seen some pictures of the building itself a blaze but these are protests pictures live from atlanta of course we're keeping across the situation will bring more bring on this scene as we get it. jason nichols is a senior lecturer in african american studies at the university of maryland college park he says officials are listening to the outcry that followed the death of george floyd but more needs to happen. had there not been the outcry that we've seen over the past couple of weeks you would not see the level of accountability or transparency that you're seeing right now and i think part partly whether we like to admit it or not it was a large scale rebellion that included destruction of property that i think is pushing people towards making the right decisions and not trying to cover things up
7:06 am
and trying to keep the population more in line and let them know that change is coming i think what we need is in terms of accountability is 'd when you have an active force and it's going to lead to a lawsuit you better believe that mr brooks is family is going to sue. the city of atlanta who are this incident and so what they need to do is make sure that when they get a judgment that that judgment doesn't come out of the taxpayers' pockets it comes out of police pensions they are the ones who are responsible for these acts of violence so they need to be the one that puts the bill but as prime minister but as johnson has condemned a far right demonstration in london as racist thuggery violence broke out between the far right groups and on t.v. this is a protest as it were holding a counter rally some of the far right cause it also attacked police officers trying to keep the 2 sides apart so they gave over points.
7:07 am
they came they set to protect a monument. a statue of churchill that had already been boarded up to prevent vandalism thousands of far right supporters from various organizations descended on parliament square. the same crowds who voiced anger at damage done to start shoes attacking policemen and women i pelting them with objects fireworks even using broke barriers that were meant to keep them apart from another march organized by anti racism groups. but some broke away. scores of police officers moved into position to stop further breakouts of violence there's already been scenes of tension between those far right organizations and the police that protest itself meanwhile what the black lives
7:08 am
matter movement here wants to do is focus on the issues rather than any possible eruptions between them and the far right organizations the. one way the black clive's movement did that organizing smaller marches across the country. but even in those marches such as this one in the northern city of new castle the far right also issued out their own calls looking for confrontation throwing flares and taunting the police the events in the us have triggered debates about the state of race relations in britain but there are elements of society who violently resent that. found by far right leaders under the guise of patriotism they would rather provoke than meaningfully engage. sunit i ever al-jazeera london. amid the tension there was a moment of compassion between the 2 sides
7:09 am
a black lives matter activist was photographed helping a far right protester to safety reuters reports the man had been set upon by by and badly beaten before other protesters stepped in to protect him. riot police in france have fired tear gas to disperse a largely peaceful protest against racism and police brutality. dozens of people defied a ban to join the march in central paris the rally was led by supporters of adama try already he's a french black man who died in police custody in 2016 under unclear circumstances no one has been charged despite multiple autopsies. meanwhile police have converged on the on the trail from central paris in defiance of the government they're resisting moves to implement reforms including the suspension of officers accused of racist acts it comes just days after the interior minister promised
7:10 am
a 0 tolerance policy for racism within french law enforcement. although you see all the get up with you guys just by coming back here we want people to know that the police if it up the police the time we tired of being stigmatized we just want to get on with our work normally this afternoon you might have seen at the rally that colleagues were attacked we had several injured this afternoon so enough is enough at some point the message from politicians has to be coherent with what they expect from the police force and there are fears of a coronavirus resurgence in china health authorities have recorded the highest daily number of infections since april to beijing around the lockdown after dozens of people tested positive after visiting a wholesale food blockade for more on this let's speak to debian gopalan in hong kong just bring us up to speed with what the latest is. rob so the health authorities there are saying that they need to test people who have been in close contact with this market since may 30th now so that's about
7:11 am
10000 people that they'll be needing to so those numbers could increase quite dramatically the post about a dozen neighborhoods around this market there are also closing schools and kindergartens that have recently opened now to give you some context this is one of asia's biggest wholesale market tens of thousands of tons of food beads seafood vegetables fruits meats passed through this market on a daily basis and are traded and there are fears that the virus could have actually come from the food itself so the government has shut down this market as you say but the government is saying that they're going to be transporting food into beijing and telling people not to panic china had declared victory over the coronavirus back in march they had started lifting measures raising many questions as to now whether those measures were lifted too quickly but they have had had had weeks of very learned faction rates and some days of 0 domestic rates up until now
7:12 am
so there's a lot of concern of the impact of the spread of this market particularly because experts say this somewhat mirrors the events in wool han if you remember at the end of last year the outbreak 1st started in the city of one which had by the $11000000.00 people that city was put under lockdown and tens of thousands of people were infected with the virus thousands of people so diets it took months to contain that under incredibly strict lockdown and that was a population of 11000000 people so to put that in context beijing has a population of very mobile population of 20000000 people so that's raising a lot of concerns there on those difficult ball and bringing us up to date on the latest on the rise in court 19 cases in beijing she's talking to us from hong kong dubious thanks very much. still ahead on al-jazeera an embarrassing u. turn as a story as prime minister apologizes for comments made about slavery and why some

7:18 am
spread of coronavirus in chile comparing the the efforts in sheila to efforts in neighboring countries like argentina which implemented a total lockdown so the president of chile is have a stamp yet it has been under a lot of pressure from political opponents to replace the health minister all of that culminating now with the resignation of a minor league but if we to if we look at right now just to reiterate a few of the of the statistics she was supposed to be an exception to the rule in latin america even before the outbreak began in the region in latin america was expected to be ill prepared it was said that latin america spends less on health policy than any other country in the world there was an expectation that she would do better than most of the other countries in the region unfortunately what we're seeing is that sheila again is one of the worst hit countries in the region according to the latest statistics of over 167000 infections and 3100 in one deaths and stonies prime minister scott morrison has apologized for comments he
7:19 am
made denying the country has a history of slavery his remarks i'm going to aboriginal australians as well as descendants of pacific islanders who say their ancestors were brought to work on sugar plantations with little or no pay morrison says he did not mean to cause offense. i've always said we need to look at our history what the comments i was referring to was to how the new south wales settlement was 1st established and the views that were communicated the time in forming the new south wales colony and you go back to people like william wilberforce and others they were very involved in that 1st fleet expedition and one of the principals was to be the destroyer in that case new south wiles was was not to have lawful slavery done like o'sullivan's an associate professor of political science at charles starts university he says many australians are not aware of their past many countries in the world australia
7:20 am
doesn't know that history terribly well and it has a habit of. think you think nice bit of a history of history that it doesn't like or that could cause tension or embarrassment and talk of family and difficulty in the present and i think. what morrison's initial comment denying slavery my main and off the cuff remark that. was it was simply a mistake. the fact that he retracted it very quickly i think realised it was a sign that he had realised that he really couldn't if they'd just as asian because what he said was not true and in the evidence that it's not true is compelling. so rather than have a political fight over something to. it he offered his apology in the hope that the issue would go away to some degree that i have been in other respects i think. what it's done is just highlight they significance of any society knowing its
7:21 am
history and also. put into the australian mind the idea that it's only history isn't good in some respects. canada's prime minister justin trudeau has called for an investigation after police video emerged showing the violent arrest of an indigenous leader the footage has provoked outrage and sparked debate over police brutality and institutional racism david muscle reports from college. this was the moment canadian police arrested a prominent indigenous leader while one officer tries to grab chief alan adam a 2nd rushes in and tackles him once on the ground adam is punched in the face as his wife a nice plead with officers to stop on friday prime minister justin trudeau demanded an inquiry like many people i have serious questions about what happened the independent investigation must be transparent and be carried out so that we get
