this is the w. news live from berlin large crowds take to the streets for another day of demonstrations over the death of george floor u.s. embassies around europe and beyond where the focus of march was for justice protesters gathered outside the embassy in london calling for an end to racism and police brutality in the u.s. sending u.k. . mark zuckerberg zone employees out to the increasing pressure on the facebook c.e.o. they want him to follow the lead of other social media companies and flooding and fact checking misleading or incendiary information posted by president almost

trying to. the worst take a lot ecological disaster to ever hit the region is polluting huge stretches of arctic waterways russia believes melting permafrost is the cause of a massive diesel spill in northern siberia. as well come to the program thousands have protested against racial injustice outside the u.s. embassy in london on sunday for a 2nd straight day of demonstrations but just as here in the capital as well as many other produce it is been taking to the streets following the death of george floyd a black american man who was killed by a white police officer in minneapolis on may 25th the marches in london emphasize that they were protesting

a. racism not only in the united states but also around the world. of correspondents sent us this is us not off the protests from brussels the scene of another major until this is demonstration in europe. many thousands of people turned out here in brussels today people of all races all it is it is all colors all ages many people carried signs saying i can't breathe the dying words of george floyd in the united states there were children carrying signs saying i want to grow up in a world without racism activists hope that the broad support shown by the city of brussels and by the citizens of all communities may just be enough pressure to address the issues that they believe have to change that there is an issue of police brutality in belgium but the small protests that come for example after the killing of a 19 year old man in april in a police chase certainly have not shown the very broad turnout of this march here

today it remains to be seen whether authorities will feel the pressure of this very large turnout whether they will sit down with activists and address the things they need they say need to be changed and how soon. protesters also gathered in washington d.c. and many other u.s. cities on sunday to mobilize against racism and police brutality tens of thousands braved the hot humid day to call for reform. the message is clear. in their thousands they converged on downtown washington d.c. . local officials had projected over 100000 people would attend. the heat and humidity were no deterrent. everyone is not racist literally. by. the law. they're already outdated a fetish people understand well. it's not enough to be angry you have

to vote yes to translate that into action they need to be a consequence for that action and they need to be taught that they were happy no more enough either no. while demanding action against police brutality is at the forefront of saturday's peaceful demonstrations these protests are also highlighting a long standing problem of our many call systemic racism and inequality in the united states topics that will likely become central to the presidential battle for the white house in november. branded. in washington stuff and i was present i'm going to lead the country given what has happened in the last 2 weeks ths. well he has an exercise much leadership in the last 2 weeks since this is going on here and since this country has gone through a through a lot of pain and somebody some call it actually a crisis he has displayed

a law and order and tough guy approach to it all and seems to be missing actually what is really going on in the country calling for a regular army or suggesting that he might call the regular armed forces against his own people against americans who protest. doesn't sit really well with the majority probably of americans right now i mean they are 80 percent of americans. regarded in a new poll by the new york times that say the country is out of control so the president is not really successful with. translating his leadership and law and order leadership into this situation it seems like i think there's a lot of people across the political spectrum at least we think democrats anyway

but also a lot of republicans who criticize the president for this lack of leadership he doesn't seem to be able to find a way or 2 to relate to what really is going on here and he sees everything in very very much black and white no pun intended to really that's the situation right now i think and it's a fair assessment well if protesters will be able to maintain the momentum of this protest movement what does that mean for the upcoming elections in november. that means that the sitting president is in more trouble regarding his reelection bid. latest poll suggests democratic presidential candidate joe biden is leading with a widening gap before president donald trump even in those if he states where donald trump surprised everybody 2016 and took the states and won the votes. and the

president seems to be keenly aware of this now the democratic party would probably . try and hone in on what the african-american community but others to experts and observers to call now became a movement and call now a movement so this is going to be interesting what the impact will be that it really have an impact is absolutely clear that on the months in washington thank you and now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today people in tripoli celebrated the withdrawal of forces loyal to libyan strongman khalifa haftar from the city controls much of the war torn country was pushed out of tripoli by the u.n. with no us government the g.n.a.t. jenae have been making some progress in my recent weeks and rejected a ceasefire proposed by. egypt the day. there's been

a surge in covert 19 fatalities in mexico with the death toll now topping 13000 restrictions were eased on june 1st but health officials said many deaths happened weeks ago and have now been reclassified it urged people to see a doctor if they show symptoms. a 6 year old has been killed by a shark off the coast of new south wales in australia the man succumbed to his injuries after he was bitten by a 3 metre long great white shark it's the 3rd fatal shot time in the country this year. the united states has offered to help russia clean up a vast fuel spill that has polluted huge stretches of arctic waterways in northern siberia elting permafrost is suspected of causing the spill at a power plant environmental activists say it's the worst such accident ever in the arctic region where else with them only just come here to fill up your car tank

says the man in the video. the water of the blocked out river is now highly flammable it's a dangerous experiment just a few steps away from this thick beetle slick that has been moving its way towards the arctic ocean for a week these barriers are an attempt to stop it. most important is to prevent the oil from spreading because if it gets into the arctic sea no one will be able to get out from underneath the ice. no risk is extremely remote making the cleanup operation very challenging so to the fact that the diesel leak coming from a nearby power plant was not initially reported that meant tens of thousands of square kilometers of additional land were polluted. which is when you know why we only learning about this emergency now on social media 2 days after it happened. have you lost your minds. it's as though. the power plant is operated by the

norilsk nickel mining group the company long ago made the siberian city one of the most heavily polluted in russia. the plant is operated in such an irresponsible way there aren't enough technical and environmental inspections and then there's the storing of the permafrost. 2 thirds of russia's land mass is becoming increasingly unstable as the country's permafrost thaws its unlocking everything from mammoth bones to fossil fuels trapped in our eyes for thousands of years researchers have long warned of the consequences. which if you're a shark robes convert organic carbon into methane there is so much of it on our territory that the climate in europe could become we want a reputable. meat then coming from the melting permafrost is exhilarating global warming the consequences can be seen all across the russian arctic buildings are collapsing lakes are plunging into rivers. the fuel leak was caused when police

supporting a storage tank sank into the softened ground says norilsk nickel its head promises to deal with the pollution. just was not speaking to you with a business woman i'm speaking to you as a concerned citizen so we will pay whatever we have to it will be billions and billions. many russian oligarchs made their money from mining that is being made even easier by the thawing of the ice but the told these industries take on the environment and the climate is incalculable. dozens of scientists have called on facebook to force stricter policies against misinformation the initiative was founded by facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg and his wife it directed the letter specifically accused facebook of let it president on spread misinformation and incendiary statements says one of

trump's statements clearly incited violence which could harm people especially during the current turmoil over racial injustice. and more that i'm now joined by a reporter at the conference which statement from president trump other scientists . if you're referring to that statement was actually a quote used by president donald trump in a post he posted last week and in that post he was responding to the current unrest in minneapolis by the killing of george floyd and in that post he said he spoke to the governor and the military is with him all the way and right after that he started a sentence when the looting starts the shooting starts and that sentence has caused quite a stir the scientists are saying that it's a clear statement that that sentence is inciting violence and that they are very unhappy that facebook has not done anything against it like for example to flag it

now twitter has done it a completely different way president has tweeted with the same boy it's twitter decided to actually flag it and hide it and that's a very stark contrast to facebook. because in a statement you had a negative reaction to the post and how could you not but the more i did you insist to keep it on twitter decided to at least blog yeah. we have to know that twitter and facebook they have similar community standards but when it comes to politics they are they have very different approaches facebook for example has told media in the past that facebook shouldn't be fact checking what politicians are saying and that because he said the political speech is the most centrist sensitive part in a democracy and that people should be knowing what politicians are saying and that explains probably why is like a fax as unless. that post from president trump causes some imminent

danger facebook wouldn't judge or actually interfere now facebook hasn't hands approach and twitter is more restrictive in terms of politics so we for example we all know that the presidential election is coming and while facebook. decided to actually let political ads run twitter has decided to completely banned it so the different reactions probably came from the different principles that the leader half the face was not quite sure whether it's actually a medium a part of the press all or whether it's everybody can post whatever they want they don't have any responsibility for it very briefly what's about slate latest response on this he hasn't responded to the sciences yet but since that has already cost quite a problem. within the last week or so he has posted on friday saying that facebook is now actually reviewing its content policies it's reviewing ways to handle
