and europe's top negotiator sees no significant progress during the latest talks on a trade deal with britain. and on the world environment i will take a look at the future of the planet's global kogut of emergency has led to a cut in pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in some regions but many down whether the improvement is sustained. a match and held welcome protesters in the u.s. vowed to continue to rally on the streets after 10 consecutive days of demonstrations of the death of george floyd in police custody last month in washington d.c. the mayor has formally asked president donald trump to remove federal forces from the capital and the city workers and volunteers have painted a huge message of support for the protest movement on a street leading to the white house. at
10:02 pm
a news conference at the white house on friday u.s. president donald trump said all americans should be treated equally by police but a remark truck made about george floored george floyd rather while commenting on better than expected unemployment figures has drawn maybe an outrage but also what happened last week we can't let that happen hopefully george is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country this is a great day for him it's a great day for everybody it's a great day for everybody this is a great great day in terms of equality it's really what our constitution requires and it's what our country is all about that was president trump speaking a short while ago well let's bring in d.w. correspondent stephanie in minneapolis stephanie how of those words being greeted on the streets where you are. you know well we were mats with
10:03 pm
confusion. with the simple fact that people didn't understand really the people we talked to hear. what the president was going on about their they have definitely. not in not the not the impression that the president was involved in any. of this yet at the right time he the people here think that the president. can't relate really be. doesn't really matter what he says or things and see still doesn't understand what is actually happening here in minneapolis minnesota about all across the country. given what you say what what does a telling you is there any real way to gauge what effect if any mr trump's handling of the crisis will have on his chances of re-election in november. i think it
10:04 pm
will have a tremendous impact i think it has tremendous impact now i think there are new polls out there and those polls are saying that. something if a presidential candidate joe biden is leading in those polls by a wide margin if you for donald trump even in those battles states where mr trump normally had the edge on. i'm not hard pressed to say that. the president didn't have many friends here and with this crowd and with the african-american population here in minneapolis and probably across country despite of what he claims and he definitely didn't make any friends new friends here that is that is for sure at least that's what we're hearing. stephan your standing in the way this conversation started with a protest started to protest as planned to mine tying the momentum they've built with this protest movement. excellent question anthony this is the key question
10:05 pm
here how do they get organized how do they get such a structure and what they doing nice going forward and that is what they also very concerned about so they saw on the thinking and talking and planning going on behind the scenes but yeah that's what it's all about if you if one wants this to become a movement a true movement and wants to sustain the pressure asserted on society to take action regarding substantial structural systemic racism all over the country then there has to be an organization and they have to become organized much better than they are right now however we'll see on the weekend there are protest marches planned all over the country of course in minneapolis to let's see where this is going. on the streets of minneapolis as a western seamounts thank you so much. well another case of police brutality is
10:06 pm
pocked outrage in the u.s. this time in buffalo new york an elderly man fell to the ground and was seriously injured after he was pushed by a police officer place initially stated that the man tripped and fell to offices that things suspended without pay the governor of new york state as cold the incident utterly describes. all this is just the latest video to emerge from us protest this way phidias of violence between police and protesters have been secularly circulating on social media but not everyone is saying the same ones the cif has been analyzing how your twitter fake could affect what kind of images you're seeing of the anti rices protests dami and tell us about your research so we wanted to look at how online filter bubbles are affecting the image that we have in our mind when we think of the black lives matter protests that are going on the u.s. right now so we did a little experiment we created a mock twitter account. to look we created to mock twitter accounts side by side
10:07 pm
one from a prominent right wing. commentator online donald trump jr the president's son has very often far right wing views and is known for being pretty loud on twitter so we create an account following 200 people that he also follows so this won't show what he tweets but rather what he sees when he goes on to twitter and to compare that we made one that looks at alexandria cause or cortez's twitter feed so we can kind of see what she sees when you look at things of the spectrum exactly right and what we notice is that the twitter bubble effect is definitely real videos are occurring in one feed that don't occur in the other feed and so on one good example is police brutality towards journalists or violence towards journalists in general and we see it in alexander crazier cortez's feed this video came up a few times showing police accosting a journalist and now you see here. this video occurred
10:08 pm
a couple of times in donald trump jr's feud which shows protesters assaulting a journalist so you see that they're creating different narratives of police assaulting journalists versus protesters assaulting journalists a small side note that journalist actually if you look at his twitter feed he seems much more concerned about police violence toward journalists and cited a study that showed $140.00 cases of police attacking journalist during these protests and so what about the video we saw earlier in the program of the older man who was suffered serious injuries after being shoved to the ground by police this is one instance that we saw this video appearing in both feed so in. cortez's feed we saw it 17 times occurring 17 times in just the 3 hours after we created that profile and donald trump jr profile was only occurring 2 times but what you see here is that these are right wing journalists and pundits who are actually admitting that this was evidence of police brutality so even they when they look at
10:09 pm
this say that they had the police cross the line although they asked why the media is going much more on this story than other stories of protesters violence so i wouldn't say there's 2 sides of the story here and that if anybody just saw the world through somebody else's eyes they would be no protests but i think there's evidence of a very big divide in how people are perceiving the protests and us very interesting i mean say thanks so much thank you well the turmoil that has gripped america rather the death of george floyd has turned the spotlight on racism in other countries they doubly is to ponder. reports now on his on personal experience as a black person living here in germany he also looks at allegations of racism and police brutality elsewhere in europe. 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
10:10 pm
here in germany and across the world. it is hard to find a country without any form of racism and i experienced that here as well in berlin as the daring and of course comments and statements about my skin color. but you cannot move around the city as a black person without being aware obvious gain 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. that's why the black lights matter movement has also been protesting here in berlin and while europe has fewer deadly incidents involving the police some cases have stayed with me gania some of those not that long ago only giallo burned to death in the police cell here in germany in 2005 no one was
10:11 pm
convicted for his death. in the u.k. in 2011 mark duggan was shot by a policeman who was never convicted. in france adama 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. hasn't really dealt with its links to slavery and i'm here in germany several 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 brutal cologne new figures whether it's history oh every day racism black people's experiences are being ignored and that's why i'm also frustrated we need to address
10:12 pm
every day racism and also the past because that's the only way to move forward. that was. for porting there the latest official job numbers from the us showed the unemployment right there. is fooling the bureau of labor statistics say the jobless rate dropped to 30.3 percent last month 2500000 people found work after more than $20000000.00 lost their jobs in eifel the rise in employment could suggest the companies are bringing workers back on board as parts of the economy reimage from walk down it. will spot the improvement in the employment figures the u.s. economic process is bringing on precent of hardship food banks are providing essential help for those at the shop in many a turning to charity for the 1st time. look beyond the economic numbers and you find scenes like this a car park turned into

10:16 pm
a deal at the end of the this is a nice what does johnson and his government insinuate and as saying well we do want it deal however we don't want to deal at any costs but we do know that the u.k. economy is already deeply hit by the corona crisis is the deepest economic crisis the country has ever been and and if on top of that there is a node you have bragg's it which might mean terrorists. on various goods and then really acrimonious split with its closest trading partners that would be a fad ahead for the u.k. economy we know for example that so-called make us a saying well they have to relocate that plants so it would be really really deep hit for the u.k. economy on top of all the political damage that that would cause. they're reporting from london where the new israeli government is pushing ahead with plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank the plan has drawn criticism both

10:21 pm
numbers where still a very low because the south africa implemented a very strict lockdown as you as you have mentioned and that way the number stayed low but now for weeks they have been easing these restrictions and it was clear from the 1st place that the numbers which be going up and at the moment we see this massive explosion of course on our virus cases especially here and we're seeing a spread specially in the townships in the poorer areas of the city where people live in very poor circumstances in very congested areas and it's very difficult for them obviously to to social systems in many cases from at the increase in capetown now to some of the other stories making news around the globe. on a city close to the russian border has started mass testing its residents for the coronavirus the angle is taking the step after detecting new asymptomatic cases who have the original epicenter of the pandemic test of the almost all of its 11000000 residents last month 300 of them tested positive for the virus. the un's nuclear

a global health emergency has cut pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in some regions because economic activity has been widely suspended but not all environmentalist are optimistic about what this could mean for the 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 fact it's pushing what scientists say is a sick 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
10:24 pm
previous reductions combines. 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. authorities 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. also on world environment day we turn to brazil where the tension centering on the pandemic away from the big cities and eco disaster is unfolding officials have been downgrading if it's to protect the rainforest and moving to open up the region to money. even with the element of
