4th round of talks on a post to break the trade deal with britain plus. musicians and composers from across the world has contributed to a project called the sound of nature inspired by beethoven's pastoral symphony and a desire to draw attention to the climate emergency. i'm sumi so misconduct thank you for joining us i'm morial surface has taken place in minneapolis for george floyd the black man who died after being held to the ground by a white police officer floyd's death has sparked protests across the u.s. demonstrators are calling for an end to racism and police brutality mourners helped more than 8 minutes of silence the length of time it took floyd to die as the police officer kneeled on his neck. as you go through these long 8 minutes think

about what george was going to lay in there for those 8 minutes. 'd silent in grief as family and friends remembered george floyd and his last minutes alive. outside the memorial service in minneapolis hushed crowds also monch the 8 minutes 46 seconds that floyd was pinned to the ground under the need of a white police officer. civil rights activist the reverend al sharpton used that image in his eulogy to demand change. the reason we could never be who we

wanted and dream debian is you kept your me on of me. is tad for us to stand up in chargers name and say kid show meet our family. and autopsy on jones' floyd show teach can't coronavirus in april but the family's attorney told morning is it had nothing to do with his death it was not the cove well no virus pandemic there george. i want to make it clear only the record. we're packing it was the other. we're. fair to tamir you were for an america that pandemic of racism and discrimination.

george floor. then. george floyd is just the latest african american to lose his life in police custody. family friends and to millions around the world now insist he must be the last moment. let's talk more about the story now with boris for a man he's a political science professor at bard college in berlin with a focus on the u.s. forest good to see you those are very moving images we saw from that ceremony in the u.s. do you think this is a turning point a moment of change. well i mean unfortunately we're used to a certain continuity in these stories there's too many african-american men in

particular who have been killed without any new reason without even having a gun on them so. but while this is there is a continuity i think this is a new degree of of shock also of global shock i think one thing that's different from everything we've seen before is that both the pandemic and disgraces and then it is seen as a global problem not just as a national problem i think this is certainly signaling a change but if we look at the issue in the u.s. in particular some people are wondering what you what effect that this unrest that we've seen in the u.s. will have on voters what is your perspective on that. it's a little early to tell because we still have a couple of months in de presidential race which has been a race that's almost invisible because of of all the other chaos that's going on so it's hard to tell but trump's polls seem to be shaky at the moment he seems to be losing some ground we have certainly

a voter base in the african-american population that is being mobilized by this kind of scenario. these are typically democratic voters so i think this might well for the democratic party president trump right now is dealing with these massive protests as well as a coronavirus pandemic and as you said it's a cline and poll numbers and some very key states what do you expect to see from him. i think he's an adult lemme on the one hand he wants to portray himself as a strong met by the way i think is image of miscue linnet is the one from the 19th century so i think there could be a debate also for what we actually mean by that but he's trying to to a portray himself as a strong leader and this is something he's done from the very 1st day of his 1st campaign in 2016 is to portray also the world as a dangerous place that needs such a such a leader and so he's using this in this way but the dilemma is that the threat to

mobilize the military against the american population is something that is unheard of and even important people in the military have been going against this kind of remark and we see some individual voices within the republican party that are also turning against the political expert for us foreign and from bard college to joining us thank you very much. well another case of police brutality has sparked outrage in the u.s. an elderly man fell to the ground and was seriously injured after it was pushed by a police officer it happened in buffalo new york as police began to clear protesters at the start of the curfew blood was seen coming from the man's head and the buffalo mayor says he is in the hospital in a stable but serious condition while buffalo police initially stated that the man tripped and fell 2 officers have now been suspended without pay the governor of new york has called the incident oddly disgraceful and here in germany chancellor angela merkel reacted to the death of george floyd and its aftermath she criticized

president trump's leadership style but she also acknowledged that germany too has problems with racism as. the murder of george floyd is horrific racism is horrific and us society is very polarized. i think the politicians should aim to unite and to reconcile. i think the president trump style of politics is very controversial that's clear racism has always existed but unfortunately it exists here in germany too we should put our own house in order and hope that enough people in the u.s. will move forward with peaceful protests. let's catch up now with some other stories from around the world australian prime minister scott morrison has warned protesters not to attend rallies over the death of george floyd protests have already taken place in several cities and more are planned for the weekend

authorities say they risk spreading the coronavirus. they have been violent protests in mexico 2nd largest city where the how-to over the death of a man in police custody the man died in early may and video have his arrest has been circulating on social media human rights groups have documented numerous examples of taliban and abuse of power among the mexican police. russia says it has stop the spread of a massive oil spill in northern siberia a criminal investigation is underway into because of the disaster which happened when a diesel reservoir collapsed at a power station the clean up and environmental recovery will take years. the latest round of post brags that talks between the e.u. and the u.k. of ended with no significant progress that's according to a you know michelle body has accused london of failing to honor the braggs a divorce agreement as the 2 sides tried to thrash out a trade deal before the end of this year he claimed british officials were trying

to backtrack on commitments they had already agreed to while the british say the negotiations need to speed up by me was clearly frustrated we are engaged in this negotiation and debrief you should have a joint ration that the. terms of all were true but. if you look a moment. you do the room thing is a very boring into all known quitters. including. the vehicle version. was negotiated with the prime minister of drug use or. he does for us. and you can remain for us the only valid richer arms yet rome after rome our british call to blow its ship could use domes them sort of from this common basis. let's get some more perspective on this story now with our

correspondents bob a vessel is in brussels and is standing by for us in london good to see you both barbara let's start with you michel barnier there are saying that the u.k. is backtracking in all areas i mean those are some stark words from the e.u.'s chief negotiator what did you make of what he had to say. i mean this seems that this basic political misunderstanding of this basic divergence of the position off the 2 sides here in these negotiations has not been brought cross closer has not been sort of approached at all because boris johnson when he signed this piece of paper michel barnier was showing us the political declaration thought this is just another piece of paper i can forget about it as soon as i have signed it and then the year after we will just start out on a fresh basis just as we wanted just as we determine the europeans on the other side as we've heard from bunny and now say no this is a valid political agreement and you have to stick to it and you will hold you to it

and so far there has been absolutely no waste the way to sort of get away from these 2 completely contradictory points and the question here is and the point here is that only a political solution is possible at this point so bars johnson will have to have another thing and say ok what do i really want from this what do i really need to do i really need to sue sort of go on was this playing strong leader and strong head of government and say nothing you know i'm we're not budging and we want what we want and you come over to our camp or we don't have a deal or does he become more flexible on the other hand of course from the european side there needs to be a certain amount of certain room for compromise but we are not there yet and so it seems a really sort of frustrating and in a sense a boring position because we've been there so often before and once more was out

feeling very good let's come to you in london now i want to ask you about what we heard from by the way is the u.k. backtracking i mean how do negotiations look from the british government's perspective. well the british government hasn't really taken a position on the accusation that our backtracking they have given out a statement they recognise that there is a stalemate and they're asking the e.u. to intensify the talks this is what they have said after these last round of negotiations however we know what it is that they are that they want and they keep on pressing the point they don't want to have to as overarching structure the d.-u. would like they also don't want to comply simply with e.u. regulations they do want to be flexible they rather asked for a series of smaller deals who called many deals because they want to be able to strike their own trade deal trade deal so they want to have

a trade deal with the european union but they don't want to be bound very very closely to the e.u. and they want to be flexible for example to negotiate with the us and not the mainland like barbara explained at least it seems like there really oceans between the u.k. and the european union not just little channels so if the u.k. cannot get all of those things is the country prepared to leave the e.u. at the end of the year without a deal. well this is what the euro but the u.k. government insinuates this is what bros johnson keeps saying he says he wants to have a deal but he doesn't want to have it at any cost however we know that the economic consequences would be extremely bad the country is already hit hard by the corona crisis the biggest economic crisis ever faced if then there is also not to deal with the u.s. closes trading partners at the end of it we know that the g.d.p. could be hit as much as 8 percent so that's would be another huge hit to the u.k.

economy on top of all the political cost and still the closest part of the european union of the u.k. so will boris johnson really risk that or close to this deadline closer to the end of the year will there be room for maneuver more room for maneuver than they're making out now we would have to see the next round i guess barbara to get your take on that quickly where do things go from here it's very simple boris just will come to brussels and talk to us live from the line the commission president and the president of the council and probably tell them come on move a bit you know we want an agreement and can't you give way they will shake their heads and talks will carry on towards the end of the months that's what we should bring you said on the beginning of july and they have time to the end of october so we have a new deadline the 34th of october so we will meet here again if we like or if we

don't like and talk about this a bit more barbara vessel and brussels and back of mice and london as always good to talk to you. now the new israeli government is pushing ahead with its plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank that despite criticism from the international community and the palestinians our reporter tanya kramer visited the city of jericho in the jordan valley which is one of the areas that israel intends to annex she sent us this report about the fears of the city's palestinian population. data from a evil him dyke is checking on his palm trees near jericho a palestinian city in the choice valley the harvest is due in september but the palestinian farmer is worried about the weeks ahead it's about plans to annex the jordan valley in the summer would have serious repercussions for palestinians. we have become disappointed there is no clear path for peace with this decision it

brings about disillusionment and pessimism that it's all over for. sure. dyke borys that this unilateral move by the israeli government means the end of any prospect of an independent palestinian state and this might lead to violence jericho itself would remain under the administration of the palestinian authority but it would be surrounded by the next area the plans are based on u.s. president donald trump's controversial peace proposal in jericho people are worried about what the consequences will be. become beach or land and inside your leg foreignness in our own country and now the area where we are allowed to and they feel become theirs as well so this will bring in intifada this is what will happen if the next says to israel going to stand up against israel and against a palestinian authority. captured and occupied the jordan valley in 1967

it makes up a sizable part of a large contiguous area within the occupied west bank is right considers the area a strategic security buffer to words the east palestinian say without the jordan valley there can't be a palestinian state. in hama low the palestinian leadership canceled security cooperation with the u.s. last week the cut longtime p.l.o. negotiator warns about further repercussions. with an exception if the destruction of the person with a is going to be sustained both in i thought he was born. through negotiations from a corporation going to print now with a new one from bush saying no no you would be on that occupation but we don't have any sever use dates the u.n. and arab states like neighboring jordan have already won this may lead to severe consequences but most palestinians have lost all hope that cautions will change

israel's plans. the u.n. has designated today world environment day as part of efforts to encourage awareness of global warming and the need to stop climate change the coronavirus pandemic has led to a reduction and pollution and greenhouse gases in some regions as economic activity suspended to prevent the spread of the disease but not all environmentalists are optimistic about what this could mean for the future of our planet. type in nature the tagline for this year's world environment day the theme biodiversity more than 500 species have gone extinct in the last 100 years another 500 are on the brink human driven climate change is one of the factors pushing what scientists say is the 6th mass extinction. industrial production and travel are some of the main causes of the c

o 2 emissions causing global heating but the coronavirus crisis has largely brought them to a halt the biggest drops in global emissions so far came as a result of conflicts and 3 global recessions but some projections say the current crisis could lead to the biggest ever drop in emissions more than all these previous reductions combined. still some experts say it's not enough i think there is a short term gain you know like we're seeing c o 2 reductions right while but we need really a massive global effort to solve the climate crisis and right now we are going to spend the next 5 years you know ogress on this pandemic and responding to it which are 5 years that we don't really have. a societies move out of lockdown the question is how will they do that for nature environmentalists will be hoping for a more sustainable step into the future. while on this world environment day

beethoven 6 symphony is being used to make a plea to protect our planet musicians from all corners of the world have created their own compositions inspired by the symphony company the project entitled sound of nature. symphony number 6 in f. major beethoven's hand to nature. i do believe music has an enormous power and i think nature has an even greater power projects that bring those 2 together are a great great opportunity for mankind to rethink where we are we are more which are all the documentary sound of nature stands 5 continents and showcases musicians with wide ranging musical styles the works created especially for the project all inspired by beethoven's pastoral symphony in iceland in india.

as well as ethiopia. india. colombia. was. said and history of 2 the project is not a stick love letter to our planet as a composer i do feel strongly linked to composers of the past. i'm incredibly inspired by what somebody like beethoven achieved it sort of drives me for sure. the love of music can nature unite us all but today we're also going on beethoven's time there's the will to save nature climate protection is of primary importance. nature is a reflection of ourselves what we're doing to the to the planet is what we're doing to ourselves we don't want to belittle. the sound of nature and i would too the

beauty in this world to me zick and to the proof that the spirit of beethoven lives on. and we're joined now by ethiopian singer and songwriter betty g.s. we just saw she's taking part in the sound of nature product project betty thank you for joining us here in the w. so what drew you to this project that was inspired by beethoven. well i've always been inspired about nature and determined and there's an amazing. musician that i love listening to so the combination of them both which i didn't know the story i didn't. relation with nature or with his ideology was about nature but i think i love the both separately and mixed together. more happy and into the ethic to join what you say you love nature what is the

environment mean to you. i think the environment is that. is very important for us and human beings to isn't so valve it's not just. i love nature and love green it's more of it's it's a way of life and it's part of my life in 3 months of surviving we want to have a future. has to be a huge wall affably if you truly need how much environmental awareness would you say that there is in your community. well they've been trying to create awareness it's taking a little bit time but they are creating awareness even today we started planting again planting trees again and they were telling us on how many times how many trees that we planted lab time but they were saying around 285 percent of it survived and some of them that were on the road on the side of the road couldn't

make it but they're still and they're still trying but we've had nature in abundance so. as a growing country we're focusing more on having more buildings having more and structure for. the growth of the country but now it's a beautiful shift for the government and believe the people are not following 100 percent but they're really pushing it very hard as possible so after the tapping is the chief that we did last year we're repeating the same thing this year and actually today started. again so in some areas around $5000.00 trees and there are plans to plant $20000.00 trees within this within to the. ethiopian singer and songwriter betty jean joining us thank you so much for sharing your perspective with us. thank you for having me. in sports suffolk ball germany striker team is set to leave the bundesliga to join
