a strict new security law on hong kong the beijing tells them door f. it said doomed to failure. and enjoying a socially distanced so japan's hot springs reopened for business and promised to sooth tensions in jews and jews to buy the coronavirus lock down. i'm rebecca ritter's welcome to the program a wave of outrage has swept across the united states following the death of an unarmed black man in police custody in minneapolis where 46 year old george floyd was killed while being detained by police violence flared for a 4th straight night of already say local police and national guard soldiers have been overwhelmed by demonstrators and protesters have taken to the streets of other cities laving

a trail of destruction in their wake. i believe it is i'm sure over the persistence of police killings reaches boiling point it spilled on to the streets of new york where demonstrators scuffled with offices into the night. was in the southern states of georgia protesters in atlanta faced off with police outside the head offices of media companies c n n the clashes prompted this plea from the mayor. this is chaos a protest has purpose you are just crazy in our city you are disgracing the life of george lloyd in every other person who has been killed in this country we are better than this. but it's the way that george floyd and many other african-american men have died in police custody that has fueled this public

outrage the officer who restrained george floyd has been charged with 3rd degree murder. but that isn't enough for these protesters in minneapolis or the victims' relatives 'd. who do they want the 3 other officers at the scene to face murder charges to. authorities impose a curfew in minneapolis to try and calm the tensions after days of unrest but protesters along with looters and arsonists defied it. in washington demonstrators rallied outside the white house president trump condemned the violence that has accompanied protests nationwide in all our situation. happened in minneapolis to descend further into a lawless anarchy and chaos and we understand that very well that trump promised to speed up the investigation into george floyd's death but the public is demanding more than just another probe into another death of an african american in police

custody it's morning for institutional change there almost every report to air until now joins me now aaron thanks for joining me so this started obviously in minneapolis but this is fast approaching across the country yes that is this is the protests around enjoyed floyd's death or actually kind of ignited a fire of anger throughout the united states we're seeing bylane protests crop up in many large urban areas and even to a certain extent around the world i mean last night in berlin i saw a group of protestors actually walking down the street trying to wait raise awareness about the death of george floyd so this is really quickly becoming an international issue it's really definitely hit a nerve sadly this is not the 1st instance of a controversial police killing of unarmed black man black man we've seen it many times before several times even this year has anything on estate's really changed well to be honest it's hard to talk about individual police departments united

states is a massive country but if you're looking at it from kind of a bird's eye perspective it doesn't really seem a lot is changing i mean time and time again we're seeing video come out of young black men losing their lives to police officers and as a result the police action and not really much coming of it and you know this isn't just something that's cropped up with the advent of the camera phone i mean we've been seeing these type of incidents for decades in the united states i mean think of the 1902 l.a. race riots which were kicked off when 4 police officers were acquitted of beating rodney king and go even further back i mean the some of the lynchings that we saw in the fifty's and sixty's or even going back to slavery i mean this is a problem the united states has been grappling with for hundreds and hundreds of you. you know i'm a white kid from iowa i'm not going to pretend to actually know what it's like to be black in the united states but it's easy to see how frustrating it can be when a group of people see themselves constantly disadvantaged or actually having their rights taken away and having their life taken away by men in uniform and you know i

hate to read a quote out on the air but i think i'm going to my the chief of police of my home town police department just released this statement regarding this video and i think it sums it up perfectly he wrote this is a man with 30 years on the police force a couple of days ago i saw a video that shook me to my core and doesn't require any additional information i don't need to know what other video is out there i don't need to know what prompted the encounter i don't need to know what happened in the moments before the video started i don't need to know the personal history of anyone in the video everything i need to know is there in the video a man george floyd was not treated like a human being lost his life another man recklessly took that life with him parents and difference that 2nd man or uniform what we're seeing here is the frustration and anger of a group of people who see their humanity constantly taken away from them by people wearing uniforms and unfortunately you know the history of united states this is been going on for 400 years yeah well this is obviously more than just i mean

obviously the police brutality is a massive part of it but it isn't just about police brutality against black americans and communities in the us a suffering black communities are suffering disproportionately say even during at the moment with a chronic virus they've been hit hard to them white community so i mean what does a car the economy have to do with this does it play a role oh i definitely mean it has to be if you look at it i mean as i said before i'm a white kid from iowa but that i was automatically means my socio economic outcomes the united states are a lot better than a lot of my black countrymen i mean at the end of the day i have access to better education to better jobs to better housing market than they do. i also don't necessarily have to worry about being the targets of police action as much as they do i mean once it is that i was reading recently this is kind of shocked me was the fact that the average wealth of a black family is 90 percent lower than a white family and

a lot of it has to do with housing that they can't get access to bank loans to transport money on to the next generation so of course socio economic conditions are going to play a role with this frustration that's building because at the end of the day people are seeing that if you're born black in the united states you don't have the same abilities you don't have the same advantages as if you're born like i was in a small town in iowa are until thank you very much for the analysis thank you let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world a controversial new coal plant has gone online in the german town of town the opening was accompanied by protests from groups including pace and fridays for a future you say it comes at a time when germany's already struggling to make its climate target. thousands of people have turned out in the french town of move to protest commack a red nose cost cutting plans the manufacturer is set to slash $15000.00 jobs

police e.u. foreign ministers expressed concern but took no action at least for now. trying to put. pressure on the chinese aside it is. 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. countries around the world are easing neck coronavirus measures and it means people are gradually doing things they enjoy a game like going out for dinner waiting out with friends for many people in japan what they enjoyed most is unwinding in piping hot spring water and that's allowed a game after japan ended its coronavirus state of emergency this week. with all these pandemics dress there is nothing better than a hot relaxing bath particularly if you haven't had one in a few months japan's hot spring bath saw on sin her beloved tradition way people bathed naked in warm pools most of been off limits because of covert 19 but they're now making a socially distanced comeback either through what they do their show up with quite
