their actions have sparked mass protests and a moral reckoning in the united states is this a watershed moment for reform or will police brutality continue. and protests in london echoing the outrage of u.s. demonstrations activism people of color in the u.k. face systemic racism that has proved deadly all too well. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin tonight with breaking news police here in germany say they have identified a new suspect in the 2007 disappearance of the british girl madeline. the suspect is a german man who was currently in prison madeline mccann to. appeared in portugal

in may of 2007 despite an enormous international search in lots of international media coverage her fate still remains a mystery. well for more let's bring in our correspondent holmes bronte's on the story for zines what more do we know about this this apparent break in this investigation well the suspect as you say it is a 43 year old man and one of the leading investigators on the matter spoke on german television tonight just fairly recently and he confirmed that the man in fact is in prison in germany for sexual offenses concerning children and for dealing in drugs he has previous convictions for sex sort of offenses with children so he is somebody who fits the profile of all the suspected abductor and move possible murder of maddie mccann very clearly and the police know that he was in the tone in the area at the time of the disappearance of

a school he was using mobile phone at the time he made a phone call at around the time that the crime was committed and the police are now looking for the person that he called at that time they are publicizing publicising the number of that other person and they're hoping that there are other people involved as suspecting other people who were involved in this crime and they're saying those people might lead to the place where the body is being hidden in other words they are treating this as a. and you know we remember back in 2700 there was intense international media coverage of the disappearance of maddie mccann what could this development what could it mean for finding justice for the little girl. well there were a huge number of. indications what might have happened to her there were even some so-called sightings of her in various places in europe there were new pictures

constructed of her. at a further at an increased age but in the end what it will possibly mean is relief for the parents if this whole situation is resolved that will mean a final closure for the parents who we have to remember well regarded as suspects themselves in this crime by the portuguese police initially. brought on the story for us with this breaking news a suspect in a 13 year old missing persons case on thank you in the united states the officer arrested over george floyd's killing has now been charged with 2nd degree murder the 3 other officers who were with him one else these charges of aiding and abetting murder protest over floyd's deaths are now in their 9th day the flare ups of violence that marred previous demonstrations it has dwindled some once more than 9000 protesters have been arrested across many u.s.

cities define curfews saying they want to take a stand for change. another standoff between police and protest is. 'd on. both ends of new york's manhattan bridge temporarily blocked by police after the 8 pm curfew kicks in the defiant crowds trapped until the brooklyn side of the bridge is reopened and want to come out of well the skin coat. the roof over time to be some joint you. mom. others to defy new york's curfew marching through the city to protest at the death of george floyd an african-american at the hands of police most were peaceful but there were reports of violence including by some police officers.

grabbed innocent people for no reason i just cited lady cop and unfortunately the ground this do was abuse a journalist and a press does a press pass and a person to the ground. president trump has threatened to deploy the military and has already called up more than $20000.00 national guard troops. it's a move that angered many including former presidential hopeful elizabeth warren because it's about all these words know that he is imposing a violent crime on our mortal people are here want to have a little protest going on even the pope has spoken out condemning racism and violence. we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. and at the heart of all

this a human tragedy the mother of george floyd stuart or on able to hold back her tears and her full low paid. infamy of jurors because they want justice for hill. and i want justice for here because he was. no matter well in about it they should do in this is the group he would go to. those calls for justice ringing out across the united states and beyond. well when you consider history there are moments when history seems to take an abrupt turn consider the collapse of communism or the arab spring the recent need to movement and what about the killing of george floor. his death has triggered

a global wave of protests to talk about that i'm joined tonight by mark hinge of a sociologist who specializes in criminology and social movements he is with berlin's free university it's good to have you on the program you know we're seeing these mass protests not only in america do you think this has the makings of an international movement or is this another flash in the pan moment with a hash tag well that's really difficult to say on friday cristobal and it can it can go either way either the protests will just allow all they may sort of keep them amends. may eventually come to you know results in meaningful substantial change. you say meaning substantial change that implies that the elites who have the power that

that there will be a change in the power constellation as we know it are there any signs that we can see now that would suggest that we will see a lasting change in that power constellation. know at the moment unfortunately not sam i think so far we've seen that in late absolute of pretty much don't get in competently in the united states where the president himself has not reached out to the protesters and he has not even kind of promised any token reforms but you're absolutely right what meaningful substantial change would require and would be a redistribution of resources and opportunities. within society and that's not just in the united states but in many european societies as well there's over the criticism that there is a disconnect here that for example i'm

a white man i'm interviewing you you're a white man and we're talking about there the plight of minorities in society does does that tell us then that this disconnect is is much wider than it should be and that there's a lot of work to be done to bring people together yes absolutely. i i totally see the problem it's too white males talking to one another about the kind of you know plight of minorities that is a problem but i think the problem goes much deeper than it's it's not just about kind of you know representation and there is this of or under what circumstances although that plays a role but i think it's fundamentally much more about material inequalities and rising to inequalities over the last 30 years of. marco's

again jeff with berlin's free university we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you thank you. in london thousands of protesters also gathered today to honor the wife of george floyd black lives matter they organized the rally to draw attention to what they say is the systemic racism which harms people of color in the u k. speaker's corner in london's hyde park a meeting point for demonstrates has over the years. i thought that this time they gathered to draw attention to injustices against black people sparked by the death of george floyd in the u.s. . among the protesters star was actor john boy into a prominent voice against racism. who those present were also eager to stress that these problems were not limited to america. he became an innocent people displaced

there's been many gun nuts not because of. what it. will get us in the world but as. i said i would if i thought i could and i think still race i think i will just pray competent to see the collective grief of most of them and their willingness to trade the current situation current for the full year this is this is kind of people an antithesis of what this is all about. then the crowd marched through the city stopping at the prime minister's office and residence on downing street. i did not receive an audience from boris johnson although he addressed the matter and parliament. i think what

happened in in the united states was appalling it was inexcusable we all saw it on our screens and i perfectly understand people's right to protest what took place they will be asleep i will say they believe that protests should take place in a a lawful and reasonable way. currently the largest gatherings allowed in the u.k. are limited to 6 people because of the coronavirus threat which has been devastating for the country that rule was not enforced at this rally although the event comes at a time when britain is easing lock down restrictions. earlier we spoke to the correspondent there she was at that protest in london today so many thousands protest is gathering here for a peaceful protest in london gathering for peaceful sit in hyde park and then making their way through what the houses of parliament where there are now several i was after the crisis began still people here and many of tell me that this is

about solidarity with the u.s. of course but also about institutional racism here in the u.k. and yes saying that his thoughts are already in school that they feel that they're being treated differently from their white counterparts that the expectations are not as high and that the race isn't already starts in the playground so not overt racism and injustice like in the u.s. but something more subtle is how many people have put it and it's clearly an issue which resonates with people and thousands of people. and this really emotional and peaceful protest that was bigger much there reporting from london athletes and freedom of expression the 2 do go together football players in germany's bundesliga are free to show their support for protests over the death of george floor we heard today from the german football association and several players signaled their

support for the ongoing protests during matches this past weekend. you have got a yellow card for removing his shirt during your goal celebration to reveal the message just as you see it right there justice for george floored by the f.a. has decided no disciplinary action taken against the players. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world at least 8 people have been killed dozens of others seriously burned in a blast in india the explosion happened at a pesticide factory in the western state of your. thousands of villagers living near the plant were evacuated as a precaution more than a dozen people had been killed by 2 roadside bombs in afghanistan and the 2 separate incidents took place in the southern province of kandahar and eastern province of. the areas are among the most volatile in the country russia's

president has declared a state of emergency over a fuel spill in the region in a region in siberia last friday 20000 tons of diesel leaked into waterways after a few reservoir collapsed at a power plant in the city of norilsk a series of criminal probes has now been launched. hong kong and china have reacted angrily to foreign criticism of beijing's plans to introduce a new security law in this sim my autonomous territory a chief executive kerry lam accuse the u.k. today of double standards after british prime minister boards johnson said that millions of hong kong residents could have a path to u.k. citizenship if china limits rights by imposing go all the former british colony was promised a high degree of autonomy and rights in the 1997 hand-over treaty between britain and china. but fears that autonomy is being lost is fueled anti-government

protest in hong kong since last june more than 8000 people have been arrested but hundreds have fled to evade prosecution many finding refuge in taiwan the w.c. because sent us this report on one protester in exile. dining at a whole host out cafe used to be an every day event for tom not his rooming but now it's let's remember him and many other hong kong was living in exile in taiwan is just all in there we milk tea is to new that was at his taipei cafe that have become brevity used to ease his homesickness. it reminds me of the days when we used to buy shoot from cafes like this one during the protests in which finishing joining the march it's a shame that i contact anymore the only thing i can do is watch the news on my cell phone. last year tom took part in many confrontational protest including stomping

the whole legislature and beseeching guinea president campuses he regards himself as a frontline i protested then fled to taiwan in december when police began to infest a gate. i fled because i don't believe that the g.t. sharee will be holding fair trials. for example one man who stopped peaceful protest as he was complimented by the judge for quote showing noble qualities but we don't see similar comments for the 1st protester he was convicted of rioting just because he was throwing objects i don't trust the judges because they appear to be biased his fear has been intensified by beijing's point to end that a national security law for hong kong which has triggered global concern over the city is remaining freedoms as many as 300 protesters like tom helped that whole call for taiwan over the past year despite a lack of asylum laws taiwan is

a forty's have supported to protest they have pledged more measures to help settle people excavating from hong kong. this is the first 'd restaurant in taiwan offering top opportunities to hold home protesters in like oh help we could see a sustainable way of them to let the living and whatever projects such as cool chick and all i shop on the white house more protesters i don't have to call. tom often plays basketball to keep busy today is joined by his friend and fellow protesters seem seaman who also prefers not to give his real name left home call nearly idea though he sets the chances of returning home getting slimmer day by day . once the national security law is imposed on kong isn't going to be any different from mainland china i'm not just worried about my personal safety i'm also worried about my family in hong kong. i'm concerned that they might be intimidated or might

even get up ducted by chinese agents but i don't plan to be in exxon forever i hope that i regain my strength one day and be able to take back my home then. both of them will start studying in taiwan later this year just like hong kong thomas face and then set in the chair but at least they are relatively safe for now . for this return now to our top story we got a new development the attorney general in the u.s. state of minnesota has just spoken with reporters about the new charges that are being filed against the 4 police officers involved in the arrest and death of george floored here is what the attorney general just said take a listen and filed an amended complaint that charges the charges former minneapolis police officer derrick shaaban with murder in the 2nd degree for the death of george floyd i believe the evidence available to us now supports the stronger

charge of 2nd degree murder we've consulted with each other and we agree 2nd today arrest warrants were issued for former minneapolis police officers. j a king thomas lane and to town that was the minnesota attorney general there keith ellison saying that all 4 police officers involved in the arrest and death of george floyd now face charges one of the biggest economic stimulus packages in german history is being hammered out which measures should be taken to keep the economy alive during the coronavirus pandemic the ruling coalition parties in the country's government that they are in their 2nd day of talks here in berlin and things appear to be heating up. on the outside at least they appear unified the lead representatives of germany's grand coalition on the way to their 2nd day of

talks at the berlin chancellery but they're still divided on how to best revive the german economy after the coronavirus pandemic the center left s.p.d. is calling for financial support for medium and low income earners even if it is there for strengthening purchasing power especially for families we also need to take measures to ensure places in vocational training and university education for the upcoming academic year which. the conservative c.d.u. instead favors supporting businesses they want controversial cash incentives for new car buyers to help car makers and auto parts suppliers the boss of german technology giant siemens has warned the government against focusing negotiations too much on the present situation. but suppose you had to lose to what we do today must be the next generation's export hit if what we promote today must be what secures germany's prosperity in the coming decade and that's why the key issue is innovation innovation innovation you know that's what. the coalition

representatives are running out of time as the stimulus package would still have to be approved by germany's federal parliament the bundestag before summer recess begins in 2 weeks' time. here's a look at some other stories now in brief the german airline them tons of has announced that it will undergo a major revamp as it posted net losses of 2100000000 euros for the 1st quarter the restructuring plans will include job cuts and asset sales and this comes after the airline agreed to a corona bailout from the german government worth $9000000000.00 euros the video conference service zuma has reported that its total revenue in the 1st quarter rose a staggering 169 percent to $328000000.00 a surge in virtual meetings in remote working during the lockdowns were a big boost for it has raised its 4 year outlook beyond analysts forecasts.
