civil rights leader of the reverend al sharpton said protests should not let up until the whole justice system is change. a. one of germany's best known rock band celebrates 40 years in music i'm sure it's an annoyed boughton is best known for creating instruments out of scrap metal but the band is turning a lot in old age. i'm assuming so much condo it's good to have you with us the latest round of post breaks of talks between between the e.u. and the u.k. have ended with no significant progress according to the e.u. negotiator. but he has accused london a failing to honor the bracks of divorce agreement as the 2 sides try 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 on a was clearly frustrated. we engaged in this negotiation on the big fusion of the joint political dicta ration that clearly sets out the terms of our future of. these documents. the document is a very bold in all known quitters. including english. version was negotiated with prime minister of johnson inside. it is for us. and it would remain for us the only valid reference yet rome after rome our british counterparts seek to do stoned themselves from this common basis let's bring in our correspondents on this story baba basal is in brussels beckett moss is in london for us good to have you both barbara let's start with you

as we mentioned michel barnier looking very frustrated they're saying the u.k. is backtracking in all areas what did you make of his words. now michel the bunny has a certain negotiating mandate that he go by the european leaders and that those tie his hands so he really has to try to get to an agreement considering on the basis of these demands that european side has put up and yes the disc political declaration the piece of paper he showed that we have seen is something that boris johnson signed last year but then obviously after birth that it happened he must have thought what do i care about the treaty i signed yesterday and let's review finder's let's sort of do this completely different differently and that simply hasn't worked so far you still holds him and holds the u.k. to the idea that there should be one overarching agreement that sort of takes care

of all the detail in the future relationship between the 2 sides and that's fisheries that that's fair trade that security nuclear everything that sort of comes up in the future rick you laid how the 2 sides deal with each other and so there has not been any progress of any of that because the divergence is so huge there is an abyss between the 2 sides and hasn't been bridged ok because i want to get your take on this in london is it britain backtracking here i mean what is the u.k.'s response. well the u.k. is not responding directly to this accusation that david frost the chief negotiator has has conceded that the progress has been limited in this latest round this is what he has said in a statement and he expresses hope that the talks kid be intensified however we do know what the british side want and it's really not very compatible with the e.u.

position at the moment a british one something that's very flexible they don't want an overarching structure where they would be bound by european rules they don't want to have exactly the same rules and regulations as the european union they want to be able to create their own rules that for them is the point of president and they also want to be able to forge new trade deals they are hoping that for example with the u.s. there will be a trade deal in the near future and they want to be they want to have complete flexibility or flexibility as much as possible they obviously concede that you know they have to be some agreement with the european union but they still want to be able and do their own things or to speak because as you just said you know that doesn't line up very well with what the e.u. wants here so politically and economically is the u.k. prepared to leave the e.u. at the end of this year without a deal. economically it's going to be very very difficult the u.k. is already hit at the moment by the deepest economic crisis through the coronavirus

production here as in many other countries around the world more or less to standstill for example car manufacturers really really and straits and we know that some car makers for example have already said they have to cut jobs to have to close plants if the u.k. doesn't forge a trade deal with the european union however the u.k. government is still having their sort of long term objective which is freedom from the european union and they might be prepared to have a father economic hit through an ordeal brags that they might be prepared to accept it if it if there is no other way that they can be independent and do these are the freight trade deals as they wish and barbara coming back to you in brussels with both sides so entrenched where do things go from here. on able to carry on but before that boris johnson will be talking and he might not come in prison as we

have heard now but there is going to be another video conference and we've seen the very limited usefulness of those but he will be talking to or so funda mind the e.u. commission president and the chief of the european council sean michel and they will sort of try to figure out whether there is any political given the situation where the he would be willing to budge a bit or whether the side would be willing to budge a bit so that they can at least show you a pass that the negotiators could then try to walk down because michel both he said we would just carry on i mean the e.u. obviously does everything to avoid the blame game you know it's the europeans fault because they were so obstinate so they said we will continue to negotiate took a very last minute and so we have a new deadline that's the end of october the 1st 31st. of october that's the very last moment where then a deal could still be ratified till the end of the year otherwise it would be no

deal so that leaves us another 4 months to talk and we will be back here and we will sort of talk about this again remain an issue for over the summer and throughout the fall and then we will see whether we get to jump over the hurdle or whether we will part in an arc acrimonious way the 2 sides and a lot of people think that would be a pretty. barber faisal for us in brussels and a very good mass in london thank you both. let's check in now and some other stories making news around the world russia says it has stopped the spread of a massive oil spill in northern siberia a criminal investigation is underway into the disaster which happened when a diesel reservoir collapse at a power station the cleanup and environmental recovery will take years. australian prime minister scott morrison has warned campaigners not to attend anti-racism rallies protests have already taken place in several cities and more are planned

for the weekend authorities say they risk spreading the coronavirus. mexico 2nd largest city where the hot has been shaken by violent protests over the death of a man in police custody he died last month and video of his arrest has been circulating on social media human rights groups have documented of police brutality and abuse of power. well a memorial service 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 a spark protests across the u.s. demonstrators are calling for an end to racism and police brutality mourners held more than 8 minutes of silence the length of time it took floyd to die as a 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 and life. 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 unity 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 maine and say good job nice

family. and all topsy on joint 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 record. we're packing it was the other. day we're. 30 tamir you were for in america that pandemic of racism and discrimination. george floor. moved.

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 forman 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 this racist pandemic 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 a 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 and 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 a cline and poll numbers in some very key states what do you expect to see from him . i think he's an adult limited on the one hand he wants to portray himself as a strong met by the way i think his image of mr linnett is one from the 19th century so i think there could be a debate also about what we actually mean by that but he's trying to a 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 is joining us thank you very much. well another case of police mistreatment test sparked outrage in the u.s. an elderly man fell to the ground and was seriously injured after who 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 a buffalo mayor buffalo's mayor says he is in a stable but serious condition police initially stated that the man tripped and fell now 2 officers have been suspended without pay and the governor of new york has called the incident really disgraceful and here in germany chance i'm american reacted to advance following the death of george floyd she criticized president donald trump's leadership style but 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 you nice 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 us will move forward with peaceful protests. well we have the german chancellor there saying that germany support its own house in order when it comes to discrimination against black people he gave us to punish him below reports now on his own experience as a black person here in berlin he also looks at allegations of racism and police brutality in other european cities. for. this memorial to george floyd popped up last weekend. well he died of the hands of

a policeman in the us his death is also being used to bring awareness to racism here in germany and across the world. it is hard to find a country without any form of racism and i experience that here as well in berlin. as this daring and of course awkward comments and statements about my skin color. that you cannot move around the city as a black person without being aware obvious can color on average there are $3.00 to $4.00 racist incidents reported per day in the german capital according to the berlin register for discrimination and not everyone is reporting them so there could be far more. doubts why the black hawks matter movement has also been protesting here in berlin well europe has fewer deadly incidents involving the police some cases have stayed with me you know some of the with not that long ago only giallo burned to death in the police so here in germany in 2005 no one was

convicted for his death. in the u.k. in 2011 mark duggan was shot by a policeman who was never convicted. in france adama told me he died during police custody in 2016 and no one has been found responsible for his death that's why the protests in france have been violent. people are frustrated with structural racism. peasant really dealt with its links to slavery and lism here in germany some streets i named after individuals from the countries colonial period i can berlin's african quarter where even now some streets bear the names of germany's most infamous and drew to cologne new figures whether it's history or every day racism black people's experiences are

being ignored and that's why i'm also frustrated we need to address every day racism and also the past because that's the only way to move forward. reporting for us there now the latest official job numbers from the u.s. show the unemployment rate fair is falling the bureau of labor says it's a to sticks it says the jobless rate dropped to 13.3 percent last month 2500000 people found work after more than 20000000 lost their jobs in april the rise in employment could suggest that companies are bringing workers back on board as parts of the economy reemerge from lock downs. and let's bring in our financial correspondent chelsea dani is at the frankfurt stock exchange for us hi shall see what's this expected we're expecting these jobless figures in the u.s. to fall. this report was a major shock everyone is really braced for another devastating month of

unemployment in the united states we really got the opposite of that as you said what this seems to indicate is that the u.s. economy has turned a corner in may and we've seen this also reflected in things like consumer confidence manufacturing data but i would just stress 13 percent unemployment is still quite devastating and as we've seen through this crisis it has had a disproportionate impact on different groups of people black of black americans hispanic americans people with lower education levels they've all been hit much harder and it's going to take longer for those groups to recover from this crisis as well as the economy picks up again which sectors are starting to grow. most of the growth and employment last month came from the restaurant sector about $1400000.00 jobs so more than half of the total hiring increase was from restaurants so as people as a lot of cities are reopening restaurants for seeing people going back but it was really quite broad so construction and education and all sorts of industries really

did pick up but there are likely to be a long term losses for a lot of these industries as well as we look at a really long recovery for the labor market. our financial correspondent shall see dylan thank you. the u.n. has designated today world environment day the global health emergency has cut pollution and greenhouse gases in some regions as economic activity was suspended to prevent the spread of the virus but not all environmentalists are optimistic about what this could mean for the earth's future. time for 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 a 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 now 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 on this pandemic and responding to it which are 5 years that we don't really have. 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. of just one sports item for you in basketball the n.b.a. has come up with a plan to return to action on july 31st whether $22.00 teams format the rest of the season will be played at disney's sports complex in florida without any fans present the players will be able to start training again at the end of this month the teams will play 8 regular season games to determine who qualifies for the playoffs the season has been suspended since the middle of march. another one of the most famous german rock bands and the noise about took the music world by storm 40 years ago their name means collapsing new buildings and it might sound like destruction but it's annoyed about and are seen as one of germany's most innovative groups their sound has mellowed over the years and some say their latest album sounds like urban poetry. honest and for all in all is the title of i'm sure to know about this latest album
