also be added to call outs from now on by the cases involving drug addiction and homelessness and they will be improved information sharing between police departments about offices background records such as excessive use of force complaints against them but i strongly oppose the radical and dangerous efforts to defend dismantle and dissolve our police departments especially now when we've achieved the lowest recorded crime rates in recent history. americans know the truth without police there is chaos without law there is an arche and without safety there is catastrophe we need leaders at every level of government who of the moral clarity to state his obvious facts americans believe we must support the brave men and women in blue who police our streets and keep us safe americans also believe we must improve accountability increase transparency and
8:03 pm
invest more resources in police training recruiting and community engagement reducing crime and raising standards are not opposite goals they are not mutually exclusive they work together they all work together that is why today i'm signing an executive order encouraging police departments nationwide to adopt the highest professional standards to serve their communities ellen fisher is our correspondent at the white house allan does this executive order go further than the legislation that the democrats are trying to push through the committee stage at the moment. to be fair it's trying to be pushed through by both the democrats and republicans it certainly lays out a blueprint of what the president would like to see after 2 weeks of being accused of not doing anything is come forward 'd with an executive order 'd that says these
8:04 pm
are measures that will help a break during some of the problems that they have seen in the past what the executive order does not call for is any significant police reforms and there's certainly no acknowledgement that there has been in the past or there is a problem with systemic racism that black people are more likely to be killed by the police so while the politicians on capitol hill continue to talk we know that mitch mcconnell and tim scott mitch mcconnell being the leader of the republicans in the senate and tim scott being the only black member of the senate for the republicans while they are in the white house they have been talking with donald trump and they are hoping that they will be able to provide some sort of legislative blueprint that will result in a change in the law which is exactly what the executive order does not do well we know see something of a selling campaign as far as the trumpet ministration is concerned you made the
8:05 pm
point earlier to us and i lost there was nobody there in the rose garden from a black lives meant a campaign so just this is ministration talk directly to that grouping of people. that would be a political calculation at this stage what we had from donald trump was the fight that he has been endorsed by a number of police organizations as he was 4 years ago before the presidential run though many of them haven't decided exactly who they will back in 2020 but he says these steps are being bought by these police organizations and he will certainly take that on to the campaign trail and say look we're doing something that the police want to see he will continue no doubt with the tweets that we've seen repeatedly over the last several days of law and order donald trump very much sees himself as a law and order president but in the united states paul after paul is no suggesting
8:06 pm
that that is a problem with policing and that the president may well lead this blueprint but policing is dealt with on the state level on the city level on the county level even in some cases on the tone level and when he says that there will be more funding available it's really up to the house of representatives and the senate to decide exactly how much money is available when he says that police departments will no be able to access that funding if he gets the best training possible that are many police departments across the united states that will say all done a 2nd we already reached the highest in professional standards and when he says that your calls will be barred he adds the proviso that if a police officer's life is at risk and therefore there will be police officers are saying well my life was at risk he also added that many of the police want to see the bad apples as he described them got rid of the police service but they'll be plenty that will point to the death of george floyd and see where word of those who
8:07 pm
step tend to stop someone. a knee on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds this is a much deeper problem that needs to be addressed by systemic change not just an executive order an island briefly when it comes to the depths of the central problem he does this is minutes. also have an issue when it comes to working with those policeman those police forces who clearly feel got out who clearly feel underappreciated those police forces you're talking about who can probably point as journal of record to various inquiries and investigations where they have ticked every box when it comes to being good at being policemen and women. well it's interesting that donald trump made reference to the 89 police officers who were killed in the line of duty last year but he did not make any reference to the number of people that were killed by police officers during their active duty during 2019 and so people will see
8:08 pm
a disconnect by what the president is saying and what is actually happening on the street people will see a disconnect by the president's need to stand with law 'd and order and what is happening on the street so people will see a disconnect with what the trump campaign is saying what it's going to do and what is actually being achieved at the moment certainly we can see in the polls that there's a disconnect between what donald trump thinks the country is and where the country actually is allan thanks very much. let's bring you some breaking news now the indian army says 20 of its soldiers have been killed in border clashes with china it happened in the disputed goal one valley territory where efforts to deescalate tensions are underway 2 countries have been locked in a standoff on the border for weeks now we're getting more information on the developing story just as it comes to. the world trade organization has issued a scathing legal judgment against saudi arabia over its pirate broadcasts of major
8:09 pm
sporting events the w t o's says the saudi government knew about the piracy operations taking place at a channel called b. out q and actively promoted them the operation involved intellectual property theft on a mass scale not just from cattery rights holders but fee for the premier league formula one the n.b.a. and more even so the government did not take any criminal action against the channel over the course of 3 years despite being provided with evidence from a range of companies and governments jamal has the story. it's been described as the biggest and most outrageous piracy operation in history which has been allowed to continue for the past 3 years but that might all change now after the wall trade organization one of the most important international bodies of jurisdiction issued its findings into the case of saudi arabia on the 5th of t.v. broadcasting rights in 2017 shortly after the kingdom and 3 of its allies imposed a land air and sea blockade on qatar a new television network was unveiled named b.
8:10 pm
out q the new channel was nothing more than a piracy operation that stole the signal and output from b. in sports the qatari own subscription base sports and entertainment network and rebroadcast it around the world the largest global sporting events including the 2018 feet for world cup the english premier league tennis grand slams and formula one were all illegally broadcast by b. out q. in a flagrant breach of intellectual property rights and several other international treaties . according to the world trade organizations independent investigation b l g q was and is supported by the saudi government the report's name sounded funny the so-called right hand man of the kingdom's effective ruler crown prince mohammed bin said a man is being behind to be out q the w t o also confirms that through government owned entities such as arab sats be out q
8:11 pm
was able to operate and transmit it signal and that saudi arabia ignored numerous requests from the u.s. and british governments and sporting bodies such as the premier league and fifa to put an end to the piracy the phantom has reached a specific conclusion that the kingdom of saudi arabia is in breach of the deputy obligation for refusing to take any actions against the part of the arctic you not only that but also actively promoting these basic broadcast of that pirates be out to q. the findings by the w t o do not come with any mechanism that will force saudi arabia to cease its piracy but there is another ongoing legal case that might where is the world trade organizations investigation was instigated by a request from others government the b.n. network has filed a separate 1000000000 dollar lawsuit be in a sport as an uppity company is pursuing its own illegal actions against the kingdom of saudi arabia in the form of an international arbitration and to the
8:12 pm
extent of my knowledge this arbitration is in its procedures and this is will be the platform for the. be in a sport to seek the compensation for the harm that happened to that company this case is important globally because aside from the 5th of some of the most sought after broadcasting television rights saudi arabia is also trying to buy one of the largest and oldest football clubs in england newcastle united that takeover is now hanging in the balance was the world trade organization may not have the power to force saudi arabia to shut down its piracy operation its ruling is a very clear indictment that the kingdom is behind one of the vian largest theft of intellectual property rights in history many will view this is yet another failure of saudi arabia's policies under their facto rule of crown prince mohammed bin sun
8:13 pm
man. david sugden is the legal counsel and director of corporate affairs for the b. and media group uses the ruling as a victory for sports bodies that broadcasts stolen by saudi arabia. this is a major victory for intellectual property rights protection and a major victory for the international rule of law fundamentally sport relies on protection of ip and international law and local law to protect its interests and sadly for 3 years now. every sports bodies rights have been run roughshod over by saudi arabia and this judgement in phatic li says that ordinarily the natural home for these cases is in the jurisdiction where the crime is committed in the criminal is based that in this case is saudi arabia and has been for 3 years however the government of saudi arabia as proven by the b.t.o.
8:14 pm
itself today deliberately blocked any legal action from being media group from not only b.n. but every single major world football body. in the world from bringing legal action to protect their intellectual property in saudi arabia that was a very deliberate strategy to basically mean that no one can protect their rights and as a result you have to rely on international law which is why this case was brought by qatar the debate here and it is in fact tickly ruled in favor of international law and the protection of sports rights saudi arabia meanwhile issued the statement it says anyone committing acts of piracy is not in saudi arabia it also says quote saudi arabia has a strong record of protecting intellectual property and is committed to applying its national law and procedures in full conformity with w t o rules. still to come on this program a surge in covert 19 cases forces the closure of all schools in beijing once again
