i am. omarion evanston it's good to have you with us we begin in the united states with scenes of angry protests across the country in reaction to the death of an unarmed black man in police custody 46 year old george floyd died as he was being detained in the city of minneapolis earlier this week one of the police officers involved has been charged with murder demonstrations have been spreading across the country with some turning increasingly violent like in new york city where police made dozens of arrests crowds gathered also in front of the white house many people chanting black lives matter there also clashes in atlanta where protesters set fire to a police car and several 1000 people rallied in houston. texas the city where

george floyd grew up. well of the protests and violence in the wake of george floyd's killing seem like deja vu it's because we have seen it all before the anger and sadness far by racism and violence against black men by police and often impunity for those responsible for their deaths has led to some of the biggest protests on american soil of the past decade we have this look back. ferguson a sorie august 24th teen peaceful protest has turned into chaos property damage and heavy handed police response sparked by the fatal shooting of michael brown a black teenager by white police officer darren wilson. wilson said he acted in self defense by witnesses said michael brown had his hands raised in surrender before he was killed the police officer was acquitted setting off waves

of protest. just a month earlier eric garner had been choked to death by a police officer in new york city suspected of selling cigarettes illegally and his last words caught on tape before he lost consciousness i can't breathe the officer was not charged. with. the deaths of michael brown and eric garner set in motion months of protests across the country getting worldwide recognition to the black lives matter movement. 2015 a week of tense protests the spark the death of freddie grey in police custody protests escalated into vandalism an arson went off at 1st refused to release details. gray died of a spinal injury sustained in

a police van eyewitnesses said excessive force had been used something the arresting officers denied all 6 were either acquitted or had their charges dropped even after freddy gray's death was ruled a homicide. charlotte north carolina september 26th keith lamont scott is killed by a black police officer police say he had a gun his wife who witnessed the shooting said it was a book but. demonstrations later turned violent protesters threw bottles and rocks police responded with tear gas and gunfire the unrest lasted 3 nights. the deaths of these men are just the tip of the iceberg hundreds of black men are killed by police every year in the u.s. and african-american men are more than twice as likely to be killed by police then

they white counterparts. karma good. right now ok george has become the latest name on the list and yet again fury and despair of the what many see as the district god for black lives spilled onto the streets of america. reporters stacey ivins joins me now to talk a bit more about all of this now stacey this began in minneapolis that's where the protests started but now we're seeing it everywhere across the country that's right the arrest of one of the officers involved in the killing of george floyd hasn't calmed anger and frustration from new york to dallas to washington d.c. demonstrators are demanding more and this comes from the sense of desperation there is not one person of conscious who could have watched that video of george floyd on

the ground gasping for air begging for his life and his mother and not feel something and so the demonstrators and activists are saying enough is enough and this is an interesting start having this one officer arrested and charged but they all need to be arrested and charged for murder in order to bring justice to george floyd's family who are seeing people really out on the streets coast to coast with stacey i mean sadly this is not the 1st instance of a controversial police killing of an unarmed black american people have been out on the streets protesting about previous incidence of this sort of thing actually has anything changed why do we keep seeing these types of things happening. in america these are the kinds of questions that i have asked to activists back home i'm from chicago and when i talk to activists from my church the church elders there they tell me that nothing has changed and they say that you need white

people to stand up and speak because they benefit from the privilege that that they have and that nothing is going to change unless they use their privilege to make to bring equality to all americans and i was also just shot that really shocked but it brought home the message that these people that i know these activists have been fighting for civil rights since the 1960 so before i was born and for them nothing has changed what they tell me is that they had the ku klux klan and people hanging from trees and now you have police who are killing with with out punishment and so there's they're wondering like you when is something going to change and i think that there was a little bit of hope when you look at all these protests across the country because for the 1st time you're really seeing a diversity. and unity in these groups when you talk about past instances where you

look at what happened with the death of michael brown in ferguson missouri or eric garner in new york this was mostly black people marching and demanding for change and now you're see more diversity more white people and this is what these activists say is needed in order to make a change so we'll see if it makes a difference and since you touched on it just a moment ago it's not just about police brutality is it's about so much more we know that black communities in the u.s. are also right now suffering disproportionately from the coronavirus pandemic they're more affected economically what's happening. what role does economics play in all of this well when you talk about the coronavirus i think that this has made it more apparent just the parity between white and black in the united states this

huge chasm of equality and access to health care to well paying jobs to better educations and 228 this is still a problem in the united states so when you're talking about equality and you're talking about economic security protesters are say we need more we need to lift the shackles of institutional racism in order to make them the american dream assessable to everybody and so that's what they're hoping comes out of what has become a very tragic a very public death indeed in there's still lots of work to be done in this in so many other areas thank you so very much for your insights freesheet it you're welcome. all right let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world president trump says the u.s.

has to cut ties with the world health organization over its handling of the virus pandemic trump repeated his claim that the organization is under china's control and said it was pressured by beijing to mislead the world about the outbreak. birdsville has surpassed spain to become the country with the 5th highest number of confirmed coronavirus deaths in the world authorities say over a 1000 people died in just a day bringing the death toll to nearly 28000 and the health ministry says there's no way to 4 see when infections will peak. well us president donald trump has announced hill begin to revoke hong kong's special trade status the move comes in response to a new chinese security legislation that gives beijing more say in the running of the territory china has moved ahead with the law which critics say will be used to

quash political dissent now britain also raised concerns about hong kong's autonomy at the un security council the european union joined in the criticism warning that beijing was in breach of its international commitments. the view of hong kong from above is stunning but what is happening in the city itself is straining e.u. relations with china the blow to civil rights and the heavy handed approach by police. foreign ministers expressed concern but took no action at least for now. trying to put. pressure on the chinese aside it is people and he said that he didn't think sanctions were the right way to solve the problems with china the e.u. is being cautious leaders hope delicate negotiations now underway will give european companies more access to the huge chinese market brussels would also like to bring beijing on board in climate talks

a summit with the chinese government set for september should finalize these deals renewed unrest in hong kong has led to calls for the summit scheduled in germany to be canceled berlin disagrees. you might also come to the opposite conclusion and say that it is especially important for the european union to sit unified and cohesive at the table and be able to also discuss the uncomfortable topics. but it's not clear whether the e.u. has the clout to put pressure on china for beijing taking more control over hong kong is a key issue. well 2 weeks after the german men's blunders they'd a soccer resumed the women's league is also restarting players from the 12 clubs kept fit with individual workouts during the 3 month suspension. germany's female footballers are back in business well women's leagues in england and elsewhere have scrapped their seasons the bundesliga will restart its 30th

campaign. i think it sends a very big message to the world and not just the women's football world where women's football is back. but the restart does have its issues. 1st of all it costs money mandatory coronavirus tests are financed by the f.a. but the clubs will have to pony up for additional expenses like hotels and security personnel and their t.v. revenues are peanuts compared to the men's league just $67000.00 euros per club the biggest source of income is sponsorship money that gives an advantage to established clubs like buying in munich and perennial champions false board. i want to make clear that anyone who's not prepared to take the next steps will find it very very difficult to play in the women's spun just league. i think it would be difficult for exclusively women's football clubs to win multiple titles

because of their financial situation. going to. smaller clubs like a season which has reached the cup final twice could be left behind they are dependent on local companies which themselves are in trouble because of the coronavirus crisis they may have to reduce their financial support to the clubs or end it all together the clubs cannot expect any help from the f.a.a. either. as a registered association specifically a nonprofit registered association we cannot give or donate anything to the business operations of the individual clubs without compensation. even turbin a potsdam can no longer make waves in the bundesliga the club won 6 league titles and 2 champions league trophies but those successes are unlikely to ever be repeated and it would assist my believe the current situation will either stabilize or worsen the clubs don't know what can be invested in the long term whether their

partners will still exist in 2 years and be able to invest the same amount that makes it easier for big clubs like fire munich and vall spork. the small clubs will have to get creative and hope they manage to pull off a surprise every once in a way. that's the latest from the news this hour american and steamed thanks for watching. into a symphony. then beethoven's pastoral symphony is the foundation of an international art project. beethoven world. history project starts june 4th.
