4:01 pm
mourners stood in silence for nearly 9 minutes the time it took for floyd to die the civil rights leader the reverend al sharpton said protests should not let up until the whole justice system is change. i'm sorry so much scott it's great to have you with us the latest round of threats of talks between the e.u. and the u.k. have ended with no significant progress that is according to the top brussels negotiator michel by yea but he has accused london of failing to honor the braggs divorce agreement as the 2 sides try to thrash out a trade deal before the end of this year he claims british officials are trying to backtrack on commitments they've already agreed to while the british say the negotiations need to speed up on a was clearly frustrated. we engaged in this negotiation and to be a fusion of the joint political dicta ration that clearly sets out the terms of
4:02 pm
our future but. these document document is a very bold in all known quitters. including english. digital version was negotiated with prime minister of johnson. it is for us. and you remain for us the only valid reference yet it wrong after wrong our british called 2 bolts she could be stoned them sort of from this common basis let's bring in our correspondents on the story above asal 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 buggy
4:03 pm
has a certain negotiating mandate that he goes 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 disputable declaration the piece of paper he showed that we have seen is something that boris johnson signed last year but then obviously after birth it happened he must have thought what do i care about the treaty as and yesterday and let's redefine this let's sort of do this completely different differently and that simply hasn't worked so far used to hold him and hold 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 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
4:04 pm
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 could 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 the british want 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 regs. lation as the european union
4:05 pm
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 and do their own things or to speak for it 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 straights and we know
4:06 pm
that some car makers for example have already said they have to cut jobs they 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 shot the 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 they will just 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
4:07 pm
sort of try to figure out whether there is any political given the situation with the he would be willing to budge a bit or whether you 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 walked out because michele bowed and 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 to the very last minute and so we have a new deadline that's the end of october the for 30. 1st of october that's the very last moment where then the 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 and will remain an issue for over the summer and throughout the fall and then we will see whether we
4:08 pm
get to jump over the hurdle or whether we will part in our acrimonious way the 2 sides and a lot of people think that would be a pity. for us in brussels and the becket mass in london thank you both. now at a memorial service for george floyd in minneapolis there were impassioned calls for meaningful changes to u.s. policing and criminal justice the death of the black man in police custody has sparked protests nationwide that have at times turned violent but the latest marches have been more subdued as americans reflect on what has happened over the past 10 days. as you go through these long 8 let us think about or 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
4:09 pm
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 name of a white police officer. civil rights activist the reverend al sharpton use 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 i have met. this tad for us to stand up in charges made and say good job nice family. and all top see
4:10 pm
on joint floyd show t. tand coronavirus in april but the family's attorney told morning is it had nothing to do with his death it was not their covello virus. apparent damage. george lord i want to make it where i am will work. we're packing it was the earth. we're far too familiar we're from america that pair damage of racism and discrimination their kid. george floor. george floyd is just the latest african american to lose his life in police
4:11 pm
custody. family friends and millions around the world now insist he must be the last. 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 of 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 well this is there is a continuity i think this is a new degree of a shock of global shock i think one thing that's different from everything we've seen before is that both the pandemic and this race is endemic is seen as
4:12 pm
a global problem not just as a national problem i think this is certainly signaling a change well if we look at the issue in the u.s. in particular some people are wondering what 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 deep 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
4:13 pm
a cline and poll numbers in 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 his image of miscue linnet is the one from the 19th century so i think there could be a debate also of of 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
